Mocha Cocoa

One of the perks about working in the beauty industry is that sometimes we get blessed with free products. Lorac was kind enough to send us a deluxe sample of their mattifying face primer, a full sized Cobra Mascara and one of their new Alter Ego lip colors. In addition to their spring line, they also came out with their new Sheer Porefection Foundation and Color Source Blushes (which are beautiful! and they build up so nicely!)

Here's my look:

Gwen Stefani Sixties Inspired Look

In the month of November I was constantly being inspired by Gwen Stefani and her makeup looks on The Voice and this one wasn't an exact replica of her look but I really liked the way it turned out. I can't for the life of me however remember what I wore on my lips but I think it was Lorac Duchess with a pink Lorac lip gloss maybe Princess?

Gwen Stefani The Voice Look 2

Another Gwen Stefani look from The Voice and I really loved how this turned out. Sure it's not anything crazy but I loved how natural but still had that 1960's twist to it. I also had over drawn my lips because hers are so full.

Masks at the Carnival and other Enchanting Looks

If I could pick my favorite palette for fall I would definitely use The Cargo Venice Enchantment palette, I have used this so many times in the past couple months and I feel like you could do endless amounts of looks. I also have been loving their Gel lip colors also inspired by Venice, Italy. I put two different looks in this posts along with what I used.



Here's the first look:

Things I used:

As always I used the Cargo HD Picture Perfect Primer and then in the Lid I used Mask and used Carnival in the crease with a touch of Canal in the inner corner of the eye. I also used Lorac Front of the line pro in Dark Brown on the top and bottom.
For my lip color I used Cargo lip Gel in Bella? I think.


Second Look:

On the lid I used Gilded, then I used Carnival in the outer portion. I the crease I used Lido and Rialto, On the lower lash line I used Carnival and Gilded in the inner portion with Canal in the inner corner.. I used Lorac Pro Liner in Dark Brown for my winged liner.  For my lip color I used Cargo Gel Lip Color in Felice.

It's a chronic condition

I have already been singing the new Cargo Venice Enchantment Palettes praises, I just love how versatile the colors are you can create bold looks or even more toned down looks. I have also been really impressed with the Wet N Wild Venice Beach line, the palettes are highly pigmented and even could be a dupe for the Urban Decay Electric Palette in terms of the color selection. Their liners remind me of the Stila ones but much more affordable. The star of the show in Chronic Condition which is a really beautiful teal-forest green color.



Here's my look:

Here's what I used:

EYES

• Base- Cargo HD Picture Perfect Primer

• Crease- Cargo Venice Enchantment Palette in Lagoon, I think I also added Lido in the crease

• Liner- I used Wet N Wild liner in Chronic Condition on the top and bottom lash line with Lagoon in the outer lower lash line.
• Mascara- Too Faced Better Than Sex
