A Look On the Dark Side (smokey eye with drugstore makeup)

Hey everyone! So a while back I did a smokey eye using MAC makeup and recently I found a palette from the drugstore that I love and I wanted to do a tutorial using it. It is a great alternative because the eyeshadows I used in the other tutorial totaled about 30 dollars and this palette costs $3 for 3 eyeshadows! So I am going to show you how to get a smokey eye using drugstore makeup and I do use a MAC eyeshadow (a charcoal color) but you can find an alternative black at the drugstore!


Lets get into the tutorial:


1. Primer your eyes, I am using Too Faced Shadow Insurance but any primer will work.

2. Apply a cream eyeshadow. I am using the ELF cream eyeshadow in Black Licorice.

3. Take a white eyeliner and apply it to the inner corner and just under the brow (blend it out)

4. Take a silver eyeshadow and apply to the lid

5. Take a crease brush and apply a charcoal color to the crease.

6. Using the same crease brush use a dark shimmer black color and apply to the outer corner

7. Blend the eyeshadow together and apply a highlight to the brow bone (I am using Brulee by Wet n' Wild)

8. Use an eye liner (I am using an ELF shimmer eyeliner in Black) and apply to top lashes and waterline

\

9. I am using a NYX glitter liner in the color Disco Queen and putting that over the black top liner

10. Add some mascara to top lashes (and bottom if you want)

11. I like to keep the blush and lips simple when I have dramatic eyeshadow

12. You are finished!


I just wanted to say that I know that I used a lot of Wet 'N Wild eyeshadow but that is because they are affordable and I think they are great quality. I purchased all of the products used in this tutorial with my own money!


I hope you all enjoyed (I know some people might think this is too much makeup and that is ok becuase it is your opinion) I personally would not wear this during the day but I think it is really pretty for a party or a night out!

Nail Polish of the Day 4/7/12

Hey everyone! I have been painting my nails a lot recently but mostly the colors I already did posts on. :( So I have not done a NPOTD. But I recently found a color that I love but lost a while back. It is such a pretty pastel purple color. I have been obsessed with PASTELS and nudes for Spring! I painted my nails St. Lucia Lilac by Essie.

What is your favorite nail polish color or "trend" for Spring? Let me know in the comments!

SkinCareRx review/haul

Hi everyone! So about a little over a month ago, I was contacted by the company SkinCareRx. They sell skin care products. They let me chose some products that I would be interested in trying out and reviewing for you all. I spent some time looking on their site and I love what I picked out. I am going to show you what I ordered and review what I got. But first I am going to review the company and the shipping...


Review of the company:


I placed my order on February 27 and I received it on March 2. Everything came packaged really well. I really like how fast my package came. I did not have any problems with ordering and I got everything I ordered!


The products I ordered:


The first product I ordered was the DHC Eye Bright. It is an eye moisturizer that brightens dark circles. I have dark circles and I have been using this for about 2 months and I can see a difference. All I do is put a little bit under my eye at night!

The next product is a Blemish Clearing Serum by Juice Beauty. It is Organic which is a plus! I do not have terrible skin but I do get the occasional pimple here and there because I am not perfect. So I use this every night on my skin just to keep my skin clear. When I got a pimple I put some on the pimple at night and them again in the morning under my makeup and then it got noticeably smaller! :) I really love this product!

The next product I got was the fruit Enzyme Facial Scrub by Derma E. I keep this in my shower and every night I use this as my face wash because it says it is gentle enough for everyday use. I can see that my skin is noticeably softer and smoother. Also, I LOVE the smell of the face scrub!

And the last product I bought was the AHA Beauty Fluid. I did not realize that this was for aging skin when I purchased it (oh well haha). I do not have aging skin but I still love it. I use it once every other week and it makes my skin soo soft! I only use this once every other week because that is what works for me.

I love all of the products that I bought!


You should all go and check out www.skincarerx.com because I am very pleased with all of the skin care items I received!


I did get the products for free but that did NOT influence my review one bit! I truly love everything I ordered and how fast the package came!

How I curl my hair!

Hey everyone! I curled my hair with the clipless curling iron that I showed in my last post! I curled my hair last night (it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes but once I get more practice I think I will get faster at it) to curl my hair which is not that bad because my hair is pin straight and does not curl but it did with the curling iron. If you think about it, it takes people with curly hair about an hour to straighten their hair so it was about even time for me to curl my hair. I slept on the curls last night and they fell to a beachy wave! I am now in love with the NEW version of my curling iron. I think it is about 3/4 of an inch. I took pictures of my hair but I am in PJs so just try to ignore that. :) If you have any further questions feel free to leave them in the comments!

Hope you enjoyed!
