Havana Nights

I'm already a huge Kathleen Lights fan, but I have been putting off trying the Ofra liquid lip sticks even though everyone says how amazing the formula is and how long lasting they are and not mention how comfortable they feel on the lips. So yeah I missed out on her first liquid lip stick Miami Fever but I caved and bought Havana Nights which is a gorgeous red-brown shade and is everything that everyone has said it was that since I had a 40% code at the time I picked up a few of the New York collection: Brooklyn and Queens (which I will have to do a collective Ofra swatch post and my thoughts on the product.

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette

Another one of my favorite palettes of 2015, is the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette. I'm such a sucker for cutesy packaging and things that smell like chocolate. Side note: that peanut butter and jelly and the sweet peaches palettes are totally mine when they come out lol.  

I love the colors in the Bon Bons palette, Satin Sheets and Divinity are beautiful highlighter colors and Earl Grey and Bordeaux are fantastic matte colors in the palette as well. I also used Totally Fetch as a blush!

This is yet another look using the Pur Love Your Selfie palette.  I told you guys I've been digging this palette and it's the honest truth I tend to gravitate towards it whether it's a shadow color, or the Savvy blush.. actually the lip gloss is pretty nice too and don't get me started on the Big Look mascara, which impresses me like no other right now.

This look is strictly using the Selfie palette along with my Lorac face products I normally use.  I really love how versatile this palette really is..

Pur Love Your Selfie Palette

Pur just came out with a new palette called Love Your Selfie, and as someone who works with makeup I am usually covered in swatches by the time I leave, like one does lol  This palette was one that I always kept coming back to and with our extra discount for Christmas I finally decided that I needed this palette and it was the perfect opportunity to purchase it.  This palette comes with eight shadows, 5 mattes and 3 shimmer colors, a blush, bronzer, highlight, mascara and lip gloss.  I have to say I have been using this non stop and I love all the different looks you can get with this palette.  I also used a lip stick from the Lorac Love and Lace lip stick set called Lolita which is a beautiful purple/berry shade.

Love Your Selfie, Love Your Glow

This look was all about fresh and glowing skin because at work we had a skincare event and I could show customers hoe they too could get that luminous glow. One of the products I used was from Bliss and that was their Triple Oxygen Serum, this was a product I recieved from the Kohl's beauty expo and I have to say it does give a beautiful glow to the skin and helps prep the skin and it smells like yummy oranges exactly like the Triple Oxygen Mask, which I love using! Then to take it a step further I mixed the Bliss Color Well Illuminated serum in Girl Meets Pearl with my Lorac Porefection foundation and then really brought the gleam with my afterglow highlight and mineral glow bronzer from the Love Your Selfie palette. I wanted to also throw in a bright lip so I used a Lorac Lippie in Flirt because my eye makeup was very light.

New Years Eve Glitter Look

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years Eve, I am back with fun glitter look to show you for the occasion. I spent my New Years cuddled up on the couch with my man and we flipped back and forth between Ryan and Carson. Can I just say Demi Lovato and Gwen Stefani's makeup were both just flawless!! I may have to do some tutorials... along with some looks from the Globes *cough* Jennifer Lopez, and speaking of J.Lo, American Idol started up again last week and I already know some looks are coming inspired from her.  She has just been slaying everywhere..

My NYE look consisted of a glittery gold eye with a nude matte lip. I just loved it! I didn't take any pictures until night time and unless I have natural light, I don't get the full effect when it comes to photos. lol  The lip color I used was appropriately named Times Square, and it's from one of the 3 Colour Pop mini ultra matte collections in Kitty, I really do like the color selection in this collection one thing I find is that the colors are more patchy than the larger liquid lipsticks.
