Rihanna "Wild Thoughts" Music Video Look

 Sadly no Fenty Beauty products were used during this makeup look..  actually I did this look the day of the launch and I couldn't run out to my Sephora..

I did purchase a highlighter of hers online but I was so afraid to pick out a foundation shade online, so the next day I ran out to my nearest Sephora and did some swatching and I'm glad that I did because I would have gotten the wrong shade if I would have guessed on it.

I used mainly most of the Colourpop Summer pressed shadows because they were absolutely perfect for this look.




 Here's the look:

Coachella: Lady Gaga Look #2

Here's another totally awesome Lady Gaga look from Coachella weekend. I loved how futuristic it was and I loved playing with a duo chrome in the center of the lid and Voltage by Makeup Geek is such a magical color. Then you get that playful bright blue color on the lower lash line, it's quite a different combination.. kinda reminds me of my school colors to be honest.. Go Wolves!

Another palette I have been using constantly is the Too Faced Mini Chocolate Chip palette which I love using the matte colors for different transition shades but I love and both hate how small the palettes pans are, but the palette itself is quite pigmented.

I finished off the look with the color Cougar which was from the Colourpop Sundays In Silverlake collection two years ago  but it's a beautiful matte Fuschia/ Red shade.which would still be appropriate for this summer


Here's the look:

Colour Pop Spring: Nectar

 Colour Pop went the way of Too Faced with the Peach colored products, which is fine by me because I love peach tones especially in the spring it's very fresh! I am still pretty into the Colourpop pressed shadows, I think they are great dupes for higher end shadows! In this look I used the Blow Me Away palette with a few select other peach shadows in the line. I was super excited that they brought the super shock shadow Flipper back, because it's such a soft orange but it has silver sparkles to make a huge impact. Take a Break is one of my favorites because it's such a beautiful peach/gold duo chrome and it looks great as an inner corner highlight. Issues is a great matte peach transition shade and Centerfold and Cut Outs are great bold mattes as well.

I added Ultra Satin Lippie in Botanical to the peachy mix, which is a really bright peachy coral look which I love wearing during this time of year.

Here's my look:

 








EYES

• Base- Cargo HD Picture Perfect Primer
• Lid- Colour Pop in Flipper

On Wednesdays We Wear Wednesday

 I have been really bad lately when it comes to taking pictures of my eyes.. I am so sorry guys!  I will try to get better but the next few posts are going to be full face. A few months back Colour pop dropped some new liquid lip sticks and they were all based off the days of the week and I think I purchased 4 or 5 shades out of the 7, Wednesday was great because it was the color pink and duh you have to wear pink on Wednesdays right?

I used another old favorite of mine the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette which is still so good and awesome quality. Also I'm sure I have said this before but Satin Sheets makes a gorgeous highlighter as well as an eye shadow and today I used Totally Fetch as a blush.

I don't know if I mentioned this before but I have been using the Fiona Stiles contour palette for a while now and I have been loving it! I've been using it with the NYX Fan brush which just blends everything out like a dream!

Here's my look:

Movie Premiere: Priyanka Chopra's Mermaid Look

I was never a huge fan of the tv show Baywatch, the only time I really was exposed to it was when I was over my friends house and we would watch some episodes after school. Then there were talks about a Baywatch movie last year and to be completely honest I was not into it at all.. it was nothing to do with the cast because the Rock is great, I love Priyanka in Quantico, and Zac Efron is pretty good in comedic movies so eh it would have been fine but just didn't feel necessary.... but I have changed my tune every since I saw the trailer, because this reminds me of 21 Jump Street, which is one of my favorites and again a movie that no one had asked for... bottom line is I am waiting to see this movie when it comes out next week!

I was so taken with Priyanka's makeup at the Miami premiere, it's so beautiful and magically mermaid like. I used only a few shadows to complete the look granted most of them are discontinued from Colourpop which is a bummer but really you could use any shadow to recreate the look.

Here's the look:

Baby Talk

After finally playing catch up for a couple months, hopefully I will be posting on here regularly. This look was done with Colour Pop's Super Shock Pigment in Baby Talk, which is a really rich red pigment. It's not advised to use these pigments on the eyes but I used it as a liner and I didn't have any issues with it.

I also used the Too Faced Sweet Peach Glow Palette, which I still really love using and I paired the look with Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Pookie Bear, which is a beautiful bright coral shade.

PB and Honey Palette

After months of seeing this palette being teased on Instagram, I knew I needed it in my life. I was lucky because I used a 20% off coupon plus I had $11 dollars in Ulta rewards so I bought it as soon as it was released to platinum members. Then I anticipated it's arrival to my home and when it finally came I opened the box and the packaging was so adorable. I opened up the palette and all the colors were so pretty and eye catching.. and then I swatched it...  Where is the pigment Too Faced? Why aren't the colors showing up on my ghostly pale skin? One of the colors Creamed Honey is my exact skin tone, so actually that color works great for an all over base but the rest of the colors were so disappointing! I had to wet my brush and keep layering the Going Nuts shade..What happened? Why aren't these better quality like the other 9 pan palettes because all of the other ones I have are fantastic. I think after this I'm taking a break from Too Faced shadow palettes...

On Wednesdays We Wear Highlighter

Too Faced has been on a roll lately, one of the Black Friday items I purchased with the Matt Chocolate Chip Palette. It's a mini version of more of the Chocolate Bar palette with a few colors from the Semi Sweet palette and I know a lot of people have not liked this palette because the palette is so tiny and there's not a lot of pigmentation, but I find that the colors are pretty pigmented and the brushes fit just fine, I've been using real techniques and morphe brushes.

I had to go with a pink theme today because I wanted to use one of the Mean Girls highlighters from Brija Cosmetics that came out with a Mean Girls blush and highlighter line. The color is definitely pink, it's stunning but I would use it more as an inner highlight on the eyes rather than a face highlight.

I've also been really enjoying the BH Cosmetics liquid lipsticks and I love the names because they are inspired by the show Bewitched which I loved watching on Nick at Night when I was a kid.

Here's my look:

Sweet Peaches!

I have been way behind on my posts because I have 6 or 7 that I had done before the new year but I just never had time to sit down and post. Working retail over the holidays is pretty wicked sometimes..

This look was used with the elusive Too Faced Sweet Peach palette which is one of my favorites of 2016. In fact Too Faced recently just came out with a whole Sweet Peach line with a highlight palette, blush and lip glosses. The only thing that really stuck out to me was the Sweet Peach Glow palette, which consists of a highlight,bronzer and a blush. I missed the first sale even though I waited for 2 hours at 5 am and then as soon as I got through that bugger was sold out on their website. I tried a second time on the Sephora website and ended up snagging one up.

I tied the look together with one of the Matte X lippies from the Colourpop X Jenn Im collab called Jenneration X, which is a pretty matte orange/red shade.

Totally Cute!

 Too Faced is one of my favorite brands, especially when it comes to eye shadow palettes. They recently came out with their fall collection a few months again and they released a new palette called Totally Cute and yes as the name would suggest it's totally cute!  The palette came with couple sheets of stickers where you can customize your own palette.

Jet Aplee Blooo

Another look using a color from the Darling Cosmetics Friends Collection, this one is named Jet Aple Blue, from the TOW Joey Speaks French, which is another great episode!!

Too Faced Peanut Butter Jelly Palette!!!

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!  PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!

Okay, so I bought this as soon as it released on the Ulta site, so I've had this for quite sometime and I have been loving it and using it all the time...  I wanted to use a new liner from Colour Pop called Descanso, which is a bright purple shade but it's really magical because it has blue and purple sparkles. it's really magnificent!  I paired my eye look with a darker lip color, I used one of my NYX Lip Lingerie and I have to say these things do not seem to budge on my lips and they feel comfortable on. I like these a whole lot more than the Suedes.

Lady Gaga Superbowl Look!!!

 Can we have a moment for Lady Gaga and her flawlessness at the Super Bowl. When she stepped out on the field to sing the National Anthem I was in awe of her glittery red eyes, in fact as soon as her performance was over I searched the web to find out exactly what was on her face and never really got a straight answer. One thing was for sure though, I had to recreate this look and I had to find red glitter. I stumbled upon Eye Kandy Cosmetics, which had a glitter in every color that was eye safe to use and I found it in Cherry Bomb, which is a deeper red but still had that Ruby Slippers quality.  The rest of her face was gorgeous as well, it was glowing and she tied the whole look together with the perfect nude lip.

While we are talking about the Super Bowl, I never really have a team that I specifically root for, I usually ask my boyfriend what team we are gonna root for?  This year was the Broncos, which I loved because my two favorite colors are Blue and Orange so I had no problem doing a look inspired by the team.

Here's the inspired look:
