Heyyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that elf (eyeslipsface) finally came out with a skin care line!! Those of you that don't know about elf, it is a company that sells amazing and affordable makeup that I have loved for years. If you don't own any elf makeup then please go to eyeslipsface.com and just go on a shopping spree, you won't regret it. Anyways let’s go back to talking about their new skin care line.
e.l.f. has four skin care products out right now which are:
e.l.f. Skincare Illuminating Eye Cream $10.00
e.l.f. Skincare Soothing Serum $12.00
e.l.f. Skincare Daily Hydration Moisturizer $8.00
e.l.f. Skincare Nourishing Night Cream $12.00
They also have a set where you can get them all for $42.00
I have been using the soothing serum for almost two weeks and I feel like it has been an extra boost improving my dry winter skin. I been putting it on twice a day before applying my face moisturizer and hasn't been feeling tight or dry lately. It's like a little assistant for my moisturizer. :)
This little helper is Purified water that has Jojoba, Aloe, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Grape "to help lock in moisture to reduce the look of fine lines for glowing, healthy-looking skin."
It feels like I am applying on water when I used this serum not only has it help brightening up my skin but it has been getting less redness and irritation which has been making me extra happy lately. I hate when my face get so noticeable red and hot that I have to wash my face with cold water to cool off but this stuff has been a big help. Now that the soothing serum has been a big success for me I can't wait to try out the other skin care products.
I hope e.l.f. comes out with more products for their skin care line which I'm sure they will.
I hope this little review has helped any of you girls out!!
Have any of you tried any of the skin care products by e.l.f. yet? If so, which ones?
Have a good day or night!!
Much love from your crazy makeup Lover!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!
I’ve been on a mission to find the best lip stain to wear for my wedding. I am looking for a bold lip color that will stay on my lips though out the whole day so there will be no smudging and lip marks on my future husband. My first lip stain I tried is the Melted Liquefied Long wearing Lipstick in the color Melted Melon.
I love love love this product and the color because it reminds me of summer but unfortunately this is not a good lip stain for my wedding. It is long wearing but it is a messy lipstick. It smudges very easy and I leave lip marks everywhere.
On the bright side it is my new every day lip product well only on my days off it is way to bold and bight to wear to work. This product is so pigment that you can see my lips from a mile away. I always love the fact that it's feeling like a lip gloss on my lips but looks like I am wearing a lipstick. I so want to get another one but in more of a pink color but I have to try another lip stain before I buy more Melted!!
If you would love to see more colors or buy one then head on over to toofaced.com, sephora.com, or ulta.com they are about $21.00 each.
I hope you love this short but sweet review. If you girls know any good lip stains please let me know.
Have a good day or night!!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!!
As soon as I saw a picture of Mila Kunis's wedding makeup from the movie Jupiter Ascending I fell in love with this unique wedding look! I know my look doesn't look exactly like the one from the movie but its inspired look not recreated. This look was so much fun to do and wear, also very simple. I love that’s this is such a bold look to wear but an easy one to achieved.
If you want to know how to get this Jupiter Ascending Wedding inspired makeup then please read on!
For the eyes :
After I prime my eyelids I mix a burgundy and pink eye shadow and blend it into my crease.
I then added a white base onto my eyelids to help the pink eye shadows pop.
I ended up mixing like three different pink eye shadows together to get a nice bight berry pink.
But you can use any pink you have.
For the tear ducts I applied a silver shimmer pencil and added a very light shimmer pink on top and then blended some in with the brighter pink.
I also added my pink mixture into my crease to get a more intense pink look.
For underneath my eyes I should have applied the bight berry pink shadow but I instead put the burgundy and pink eye shadow mix underneath. Opps!
For the nice highlight on my brow bone I used a matte white shadow with a hint of pink in it.
I didn't apply any eyeliner for this look just a lot of mascara!!
For the face :
After applying on my foundation and powder I added bronzer onto my temples and underneath my cheek bones.
I just wanted to add a light pink blush but ended up getting a little more blush on my cheeks then I wanted but I still think it looks pretty.
Then I just add a little highlight onto my cheekbones for a little glow.
For the Lips :
I wanted to use a berry lipstick but the ones I had were too dark for this look so I used a bight fuchsia pink lipstick and added a deeper pink lip gloss on top.
I love these lips, don’t you?
Well that’s how I got this fun wedding look!!!!
Not a real wedding look by the way.
I hope you love this look!!!
Have a good day or night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!!!
Hey makeup lovers!!!!
On super bowl Sunday I did a quick and easy Patriots Inspired Makeup Look before I went over to my parents’ house to watch the game. Even though this is a simple look, it is also a fun look to celebrate the Patriots winning the Super Bowl!!!! Woot Woot!!
I wish I post this look before the parade for you girls but you can still rock this Look!!!
If you want to know how to get this simple but fun Patriots Inspired Makeup then please read on!!!
For the Eyes :
I went right into the eyeliner after I prime my eyes, I wanted to create the shape of my eyeliner first with a white eye base. I used angle eye liner brush to help me apply the white base around my eyes.
I then add a blue eye shadow on top off my white base eyeliner to get my blue eyeliner look. IF you already had a blue eye liner color that’s almost the same color as the Patriots then you can use that instead to make it easier. I had to pretty much make my blue eyeliner lol
After I am satisfied with my eyeliner shape I took a bight shimmer silver eye shadow and applied it onto my water line with an angle eyeliner brush. Again if you have a silver eye liner pencil you can use that instead.
I then added a matte white onto my eyelids right above the blue eyeliner and I added a shimmer white onto my brow bones.
To complete my eyes I applied on lots of mascara!
For the face :
I applied on bronzer on to my temples, under my cheek bones, and onto my jawline.
I added on a natural pink blush on to my cheeks and a highlighter onto my cheek bones!
For the lips :
Of course I had to do red lips to get all the Patriots colors in this inspired look!!
I just used a classic red lip color and some lip gloss!
I hope you really love this look!!
Have a good day and night!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!!!
I’m not sure if I have ever written a review for any of the blockbuster palettes that I’ve gotten in the past, I think what happens is that I get so excited to see a colorful palette of eye shadows, lips glosses, blushes, eyeliners, and so on that I just go right into making awesome and beautiful looks to share with you girls! I should be doing reviews on them because every year Sephora creates a whole new different design for the holiday season. One year they made a small square shape palette that grew into the most beautiful palette with makeup for days. It's funny how mad I was at first because it really does look like a small square when it was close, it was a really good product but the square (packaging) was cheap. It broke within the first few months that I had it. Eye shadows broke and lip glosses got dirty that I had to throw it always. :(
Actually all two of my Blockbusters have broken on me but to be fair to Sephora I had drop both of them, but the very first one I had didn't break as bad as the second one. Honestly I don't think they are meant to last long since Sephora makes a new Palette every year, in my defense eye shadows and blushes are good for two years before you have to throw it out but what are you going to do if they don’t have any package to protect them.
I usually ask my mom to get me a Blockbuster for Christmas but I hadn’t for the past two years since I was drowning in makeup especially with eye shadows. I wanted to ask for one for this Christmas because all of my eye shadow palettes are about to expire but for some reason I just didn’t.
That’s why I was so surprised and super excited that my brother and his wife got me the Color Festival Blockbuster Palette with 130 colors in it. This year Blockbuster has…
72 eye shadows
28 lip glosses
8 blush
18 cream eyeliners
4 two-in-one creams for cheeks and lips
2 mirrors
6 makeup tutorials cards
And it’s in a shape of a bow, I’m not sure if that’s that shape Sephora is going with but that’s what I think what it looks like.
I love how you can do almost any look with these beautiful eye shadows. The matte eye shadows are soft to the tough and blend really well. Some of them are more pigmented then others, but all you need to do is just add more layers of eye shadows or use a white cream base. The shimmer eye shadows are a hit and miss, I have some that apply on wonderful and I have others that I have to keep added on eye shadow until I am happy with it. Bronze and gold eye shadows are mostly hits in my book. Well most of the eye shadows are hits but I feel like you always have to have a few bad eggs in a batch. There’s also a few eye shadows that have glitter in them and most of them are pigmented and very bendable, there are at least two that are kind of chucky, but I don't mind those because I just use my fingers to dab them on to my lids to add an extra spackle to my looks!
Don’t all these eye shadows make you happy!!?
Funny story I almost forgot to post this rainbow of eyeliners!! I will never ever get bored of eyeliner that’s for sure. These are so creamy and very easy to apply on.
Love these lip glosses they are pigmented, beautiful, and you can create so many beautiful lip looks or just pick one of the colors to go with your eye shadows. The pink and purple side is my favorite. I will always be a pink lip girl!
The blushes are also my favorite part of the palette! Not only do they blend very easy into the skin they are also the perfect pigment in my opinion. They are pigmented but not to pigmented that I look like I have UN naturally pink cheeks!
I hope you girls really love this review!
Also if you live in MA stay safe and warm it’s a crazy one out there!!
Have a good day or night!!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
Heyyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!
O how I miss blogging my life away, there’s always something to do that gets in the way of my blogging. Well no worries I am here with a look that almost everyone will love. I was going out on Friday with my fiancé I wanted a look that was simple to do that made me look and feel pretty. Do you ever have those days when you just feel tried and run down that you feel ugly well I was having one of those days. So I thought why not a create look that will make me feel pretty and sexy!
If you want to know how to get this Just a Simple Sexy Look then please read on!!!
For the eyes :
After priming my eyelids I added on a pretty pale shimmer gold eye shadow onto the inner corners of my eyes and up to the center of my eyelids. I left the outer corners blank so I can add another eye shadow.
I then added a matte white onto my tear ducts and on my brow bones for that nice highlight, but I ended up putting a light yellow gold eye shadow onto my tear ducts instead.
I applied a taupe eye shadow lightly into my crease and I blended it out with my blending brush.
I then added a matte brown shadow onto the outer corners of my eyes and underneath the outer corner of my lower lash lines
I then added the pale gold eye shadow onto the inner corners of my lower lash lines. Then I smudge both of the colors with a smudge brush.
I then kept going back and forth applying both the brown and pale gold eye shadow for a few times before blending the colors together.
To complete my eyes I applied on brown cream eyeliner and then to top them off I added false eyelashes to make my eyes pop more.
For the face :
After applying on my foundation and powder I added a little bronzer to my temples, under my cheek bones, and onto my jaw lines just to add a little color to my winter white skin.
I just went with a light peach color blush for my cheeks and then added on some highlighter onto my cheeks bones to give me a nice glow.
I also put the highlighter onto the bridge of my nose and above my eyebrows.
For the lips:
I just applied on a pretty pink lip gloss for a pop of color.
I hope you girls love this look as much as I do. It’s simple to do but it will make you look amazing. :)
Have a good day or night!!!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!!
Heyyy Makeup Lovers!!!!
I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and New Year’s, I know I did. It was really busy though with all the baking for Christmas and then shopping and planning a New Year’s Eve party at my house. Even though it was a lot of cleaning before and after my party I’m glad I had one with my friends and family, it was so much fun. I am so excited that it is 2015 not only because it’s a new year with a fresh start but... I'm getting married this year!!! It's funny how fast my wedding date is coming up because when we picked the date I had over 2 years to plan now it’s only 10 month! I know that’s still a while but it’s a whole lot closer than two years!!
I know I promise a New Year’s Eve party look for you girls but I didn't post one, I want to say I'm very sorry but I ended up having no time to post any. It was just a busy time last week and I thought I had so many hours in a day to do everything, but I didn't.
To make up for it I have two fun makeup looks to post this week!!! I hope you girls like them!!
I also have funny pictures of my cats trying to help us wrap presents!
What are your plans for 2015? or resolutions?
I'll see you girls in my next post!!
Have a good day or night!!
Much love from your crazy makeup lover!!
