Happy Thursday my fellow beauties <3 I wanted to bring a smokey makeup look for you that I was recently inspired by from a Wet & Wild palette, Silent Era Film. I know I just did a copper makeup look for you guys, but when I saw this palette at the drug store, I had to pick it up and try it out! The colors are so beautiful; very fall appropriate, and easily wearable for a day or night smokey eye <3
The trio contains a shimmery blue-charcoal for the lid, a matte orange-coral-red for the crease, and a shimmery purple-pink for a highlight. I fell in love with the combination of these, as most of the time I just use a brown neutral in my crease area.
The pigmentation of these are great, as most of the Wet & Wild palette's are. If you have never tried them, they are extremely affordable products with great color payoff. They do tend to have a little bit of fallout so just be aware of that. I hope you enjoy the look! <3
Hello fellow beauties <333 I come to you today with a makeup look, yay!!!
I have been wanting to do a makeup look using copper for the longest time. I am in love with how the color looks on the skin, and how much it can bring out someone's eye color, especially blues and greens!
I have seen a couple other YouTuber's do these copper looks, and I just had to try it out myself. I unfortunately don't have any fancy copper pigments, so I had to use what I already own...the ELF Little Beauty Book: Python Edition!
Let me tell you, for being ELF, these eye-shadows show up beautifully <3 I used the copper color primarily over the lid, and kept some darker browns in the crease. I also brought the copper color under the eyes to really accentuate the eye color, as well as using a brown liner for my water line :) Lastly I finished it off with a black gel liner on the upper lash line. Let me know how you think it came out!
Hello beautifuls <3 Thank you for stopping by and viewing my blog :)
Today's post will be a review for a new mascara I picked up....
Voluminous® Butterfly Mascara!
Here is some information regarding the product:

Description: Stretch and extend your lashes like wings! Introducing Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, one of our most-exciting mascara innovations, yet. Its revolutionary Butterfly Brush™ with asymmetrical lash line shape extends and lifts outer corner lashes to give you a winged-out effect, instantly volumizing lashes at the roots and stretching lashes outward.

After having a chance to use it, I have given it a rating of 4 1/2 stars. I love the formula because it is not a very dry formula. I also am in love with the wand. Here's why: the bristles, especially towards the end of the wand, get longer and longer. When you coat your lashes with the mascara, you really don't need to force it on at all, or even get the wand too close up against your eye! The long bristles reach even the tiniest lashes and coat them beautifully. The only reason I deducted a half of a star from the review is the formula tends to clump after two uses, which I am OK with, but I know some people are not.
This year was my first attempts at Halloween makeup looks, so I decided to go with three:
1950's Pin-up Girl
Zombie
Vampire Vixon
I tried to think outside the box and incorporate both the sexy and the scary! They were all so much fun to make, not only because I get to do something out of the ordinary, but I really tested myself on some of the skills I have learned over the past year of watching YouTube tutorials. I think for my first year of doing Halloween looks, I didn't do too bad of a job.
Hello happy bloggers :) Over these past few months, I have purchased several items for fall! I think fall is my favorite season; there is a chill in the air, I get to buy everything that feels comfy and cozy, and the deep reds, purples, and browns really accentuate my features <3 Woo hoo!
During my haul, I went to multiple stores: Target, LUSH, Bath & Body Works, Sigma, Walmart, and Shop Lately. I will list a couple of my favorite items and how they have been working for me so far! Here goes:
LUSH Lovely Jubblies Description: Take care of your finest features with Mother Nature’s finest ingredients. Inspiring men and women alike, our rather brilliant breast cream is packed full of tightening meadowsweet infusion and firming tiger lily petals to help fight the forces of gravity. We add heaps of beeswax and organic oils of almond and avocado to soften your melons and keep them supple. Smooth a generous amount over your décolletage area and leave your cleavage smelling like a fresh floral bouquet of orange blossom, rose, jasmine and ylang ylang.
I have been really enjoying this product more than I expected. I put it on every night after the shower, but I am sparing with it because it was such an expensive product for the amount they give you. It makes me smell like a fresh bouquet of roses, and I love it <3
Sigma's E25 Blending Brush Description: Blend colors together onto the lid with added control. Buff out harsh lines for a well-blended effect.
It's funny, I didn't think a good quality blending brush would make that much of a difference, but it really really really does! It helps the eye-shadows blend into whatever you want to make of them, and you really don't have to put so much effort into the brush. I will say though that after a few uses, the brush is not as tapered, and seemed to have fluff out a bit. I mention this because it makes it a little more difficult to focus on an exact spot to blend (specifically for me since I have small, hooded eyes). I think I will be purchasing a smaller blending brush to hit those targeted areas :)
Sigma's E30 Pencil Brush Description: Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes.
I tried going so long without purchasing a pencil brush, and I'm not sure why. Everytime I would go into a drug store I would look for one, and I never had any luck. This brush is SO amazing for getting color into your outer-v area as well as making a clean cut crease....LOVE IT!
Essie's After School Boy Blazer Description: it's back to cool when you're back in blue-black. this academy blue lacquer is the prep-school chic must of the season. DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free.
This color is so beautiful on, simply because it is so dark and deep of a blue. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, but for me I think really dark colors look good on my nails compared to my pastey white skin, lol! I feel like the dark colors have a bit of an edge and sophistication at the same time :)
