Lady Gaga: SAG Awards

This was such an easy and glamorous look and all I used on the eyes was the Joeur Skinny Palette and some loose gold glitter pair it with a dark lip and your ready to hit the Red Carpet!

Lady Gaga: Golden Globes

Of course I had to do a look inspired by Lady Gaga at the Golden Globes. I finally got to see A Star is Born and I was so disappointed... Gaga and Bradley Cooper were fantastic but I hated the plot and the ending and I think it really gives a bad message. (I don't want to spoil the end for anyone...)

I used the Colourpop Fame palette because it was the ideal cool toned palette and this look is very cool toned.

Here's My Inspiration:

It's My Pleasure

 At the time Colourpop had just come out with the It's My Pleasure 9 pan palette but now Colourpop is the company that never rests and they have already came out with a red, blue, yellow and now orange palette. They also just came out with a Strawberry palette.

It's My Pleasure is a beautiful palette, that since then I have been using and almost hitting pan on. 

Another new product that I had tried was the Maybelline Snapscara and it was the burgundy shade. I really enjoyed this mascara because it was so easy to take off!

Superbowl Sunday: LA Rams

 I have been gone for a long time... I'm so sorry!  We moved into our apartment at the beginning of May and this whole blog has fallen by the wayside.  Luckily I have content that I have already been working on and I hope to come back with more frequent updates.

Here is the look from this years Superbowl.  If you didn't know the New England Patriots won this year and another victory for Tom Brady..  Maroon 5 did the halftime show and it was terrible. I love Maroon 5 but they were not a good choice...

The commercials were so-so. My favorites were the Pepsi Cardi B and Doritos commerical with BSB and Chance the Rapper.  Other than that nothing else was very notable.

 My look was inspired by the colors of the LA Rams.





Here's My Look:

























EYES
  • Lid- Colourpop Baby Lights with Wet N Wild Catsuit liquid shadow in Goldie Luxe on top
  • Crease- Rendevouz Palette in Want You Back and Rainbow Palette in Prism
  • Highlight
  • Liner- Jordana Cat Eye Liner in Twilight with Colourpop DTLA on the top lash line. On the lower lash DTLA and Quantum Sleep. With Exit in the waterline

LOL I'm Crying...

 I told myself that I wasn't going to by the Colourpop X Bretman Rock palettes.. because at the time I was kinda on a no buy but after watching swatch videos and running out of my eye brow pencil and I think they were on sale for a minute (Ok I probably would have bought it regardless.. ) but the Wet palette was just calling my name and the metallics were so good!  So I bought it.

I love the way this look turned out and I've been really impressed with this palette and I have been using it non stop.





 Here's my look:























Here's what I used:

EYES
  • Lid- On the inner to middle I used LOL I'm Crying with Fishy on the outer portion
  • Crease-Skinny Legend and Ewa Beach
  • Highlight- Lunch Money
  • Liner- On the lower lash I used I'm Chillen and Thickens with matte light blue in the inner corner and Kicker in the water line.
  • Mascara- Tarte Lights Camera Lashes

A Little Bit Of Tinsel

 Another project of mine is to use up my old Colourpop Super Shock shadows.. I'm talking like old, from the 1st Christmas collection.. we're talking now probably 5 years old but surprisingly they are still creamy with the exception of Halo in the set.  Tinsel was the star of this look, which was a beautiful metallic purple. I paired it with the Chasing Rainbows palette.

I have also been trying to use up foundations that have been sitting in the drawer so I gave my Covergirl Vitalist another go. It's still way too dark so I mixed it with my Super Stay.




 Here's my look:
















Here's What I Used:

EYES
  • Lid- Colourpop SSS in Tinsel with  Not Playing in the center
  • Crease- Manifest It and Keep Cool
  • Highlight- Wet N Wild
  • Liner- On the lower lash line I used Keep Cool with Manifest it blended out and Not Playing in the inner portion.
  • Mascara- Tarte Lights Camera Lashes
 CHEEKS

  • Foundation- Covergirl Healthy Vitalist and Maybelline Super Stay

Pretty Little Panning

I have to be real with myself and admit that I have too many eye shadow palettes. Some I use all the time and then there's some that don't really get a ton of love. It's not that they are bad quality, I just never really reach for them. This look was inspired by the forgotten palette from Pretty Vulgar. I purchased this palette because it reminded me of Pretty Little Liars. The names of the eye shadows were what really appealed to me and Pretty Vulgar was a new brand at Sephora so I had to try something from the line.

I also have been trying to pan bronzer/face palettes specifically the Flower Beauty, Lorac Tantalizer and Wet N Wild palettes. Which you will see prominent in the next few posts.  Sadly I can't remember what lip stick I used.



Here's my look:

EYES
  • Lid- Pretty Vulgar Pretty Birdie Palette in Fancy on the lid with Nevermore on the outer portion and Free in the middle of the lid.
  • Crease- Formation, Snitch and Nevermore
  • Highlight-Lay
  • Liner- On the lower lash line I used Ego in the inner portion with Songbird and Head Bitch in the outer portion and Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky in the waterline.
