I'm back

Hello! Long time no post, right? I couldn't remember the password for this account for the LONGEST TIME.  I am only back for a little while right now, then I plan to make a new account and get serious with this as I am now living back home, graduated college. ( yes! )

Just wanted to quickly update on a few things I got for Christmas this year and where you can get them for yourselves as well as...

bliss triple oxygen instant energizing mask

Mally Beauty | Party Girl Palette

 

Comes with 3 cute little brushes, 4 shadow, and 2 blushes!

All of the shadow colors are shimmery. Top right is a nude ran that I would say could be used all over the lid the whole way up to the brow daily , beside that is almost so dark blue that it's black, below that is a GORGEOUS purple (maybe I'm biased since I've never come across a purple shadow that I don't love) with gold specks, and beside that is a shimmering brown.

It comes with this nice little plastic cover to keep the shadows from touching the blushes. One is a bronzer and the other is a just.. a pink blush. No crazy glitters or anything.

I always start with a generously moisturized face, then I base with Prime Time by bareMinerals all over. Under my eyes I mix Erase Paste shade No. 1 with Prescriptive Warm Beige. Believe it or not, my bronzer lately has been by Mary-Kate and Ashley for Walmart.

I prime my eyelids with Primer Potion in Sin. Both palettes are from Clinique, the one of the left is just a quad with Buttermilk, Beige Shimmer, Bewitched and Frosted Blossom. The one on the right is Strawberry Fudge (my favorite)

I apply buttermilk from my crease up to my brow first.

I then use the brown from the Strawberry Fudge palette in the outer corner of my eye. I dab it on, not swipe it.

I go about half way in with that color.

To make my eyes appear more awake, I use NYX Loose Pearl Pigment in Nude on the inner corner and a little up by my arch (not so much to look like '94 though ) Using the pink color of the Strawberry Fudge palette, fill in the rest of the lid, no higher than the crease.

For my liner I used Prestige liquid liner from CVS in dark brown along with Revlon ColorStay in brown

I line with the liquid liner on about 3/4th of the way. My tear ducts are really sensitive to liquid liner so I have to stop short. I go in afterward with the pencil liner on the inner corner and on the lower outer edge of my waterline.

I use One by One Volum Express in Black/Brown by Maybelline mascara. I brush my eyebrows with a clear mascara by MAX Factor.

I fill my brows in by using the darkest and second darkest colors of the Teddy Bear palette by Clinique.

For this look I blended Iced Lotus by Clinique with NARS Orgasm blush.

I  usually run my powder brush back under my eyes after I finish with everything to get rid of any fall out, then I'll dab a little extra Erase Paste for a brighter look.  

nice and bright

Tonight I decided to descend back into time and go for a very summery bright look.

When I was getting ready for the day earlier, as in around noon earlier, I primed my eyes using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. Over my lid and a little way up into my crease, I used Mary Kay Eyesicle Eye Color in Island Bronze.

After that all most likely wore off is when I decided to go for this look. I mixed Clinique Touch Tint for Eyes in Lilac Frost with NYX Pearl Mania in Space to create a wet sticking ground for the powder shadow.

After I lined my eyes with the Clinique/NYX mixture in a cat-eye look, I patted over top with Urban Decay in Electric. I used Midnight Cowboy by UD in the inner corner of my eye.

NARS Voyage (sadly broken) was used in the outer corner/crease of my eye.

Without black liner on waterline.

I used the Teddy Bear palette by Clinique to fill my brows.

For extra highlights I used Benefit High Beam near my brow arches, on my cheeks and down the bridge of my nose.
The color on my lips is Cool Watermelon by Maybelline.

Lion King Inspired Look

I have a photo shoot tomorrow and I'll be doing my own makeup for it. The theme is Disney villains and I will be Scar from the Lion King. I wasn't sure how to go about doing this look so I looked up a picture and it just came to me.

basic everday looks

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin. Clinique shadow in Buttermilk all over lid. Clinique Beige Shimmer on inner corner of my eye lid, Clinique Bewitched on outer corner blended inward. I used a VERY small amount of NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in blue in the center of my lid for a little pop of color (that can be worn daily)

UD Primer Potion in Sin. Clinique Buttermilk all over lid, Clinique Bewitched on outer corner. Benefit "Gimme Some" Plum on inner corner through center. Liner is Prestige black/brown. I fill in my brows with the Teddy Bear palette by Clinique

UD Primer Potion in Sin. Clinique Buttermilk all over lid, Clinique Beige Shimmer on inner corner, and Clinique Bewitched on outer corner. Under my eye is Erase Paste by Benefit. I'm only pointing it out here because you can see it's brightening abilities. The liner is Almay liquid in Black.

Blue Liner

 

I prime with Prime Time by bareMinerals, then go over that with Stila One Step Foundation in fair. My under-eye brightener/concealer is still Erase Paste by Benefit in shade no. 1. I think I might switch to Boi-ing by them soon though. 

My blush is NARS Orgasm although you can't really see with these pictures.

On my eyelid I prime with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin. I used a basic matte flash tone as a base. The purple in my crease is MAC Trax, the blue liner is NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in blue mixed into a liner with water and applied with a small angled brush. 

I cannot remember what I used on my lips! Sorry :(

I fill my brows in using the Teddy Bear palette by Clinique
