November Ipsy Bag 2015! <3

Hi beautiful people! Back from vacation, and it was more than wonderful. Spent a lot of my time relaxing in the deluxe room, and also grabbed some drinks with Bae at the casino. They also had a big beautiful pool and a full service spa/nail salon ❤ But anywhooo, i’m back to blogging and i came home to an Ipsy Bag! So clearly i had to post about it, let’s get right into it..

This month’s theme was Beauty Blast: “Your November Glam Bag is a universe of brilliant beauties. Twinkle, twinkle, darling. It’s time to light up the sky.”

The girls on this card are absolutely beautiful, both sporting super dramatic lip colors, metallic eyes, long lashes and winged liner. Once again, this card had me really excited to see what was inside. Now, the bag is so so so cute. I love science, space and nebula’s of all sorts, so this hit home with me before i even broke into it. 🙂

The first item i picked up was this Jesse’s Girl Eye Shadow Primer. This was cool at first sight but when i swatched it, it felt way too liquidy for my liking. So unfortunately i wont be using this and will pass it on to a friend. Here is a swatch for you all to see..

It is almost my exact skin tone, but like i said before i prefer thicker eyeshadow primers. I pretty much ONLY use Mally’s Base Shadow. I definitely recommend trying that one out if you are in search of a good one.

The next item i was SO excited about was this bright green lipstick. Fran Wilson MOODMatcher, is not a green lipstick but a clear one that adjusts to your body and creates a color by itself. I was dissapointed, i actually wanted a green lipstick and i thought it really went with the outer space theme haha. So i’m not too happy about this one, it’s a neutral pink color which i have tons of. Here is a swatch for you all.

This product is pretty nice and hydrating on the lips, it feels great and smooth so i probably will use this just as a moisturizer and for a little hint of color for a simpler look for work or going out doing errands etc.

The next item was a simple sleek eyeshadow brush. I will definitely be using this, i can never have enough brushes! Especially shadow brushes.

Now we have be a bombshell eye liner in “wild child.” Which is just black haha. It is okay, the swatch wasn’t very opaque or bold but i might use this for my waterline. Here’s a swatch..

The last item i received was this SMASHBOX Full Exposure Mascara. Always excited to try new mascaras, especially from good brands like SMASHBOX. 🙂

Here is how my eye looks without any mascara:

Here is how it looks with SMASHBOX Full Exposure Mascara:

So i really like this stuff! I think anyone else who got this in their Ipsy Bag was probably stoked about this too! I may purchase the full size version. ❤

Thanks for reading dolls, please leave comments and your thoughts for me to read and reply to! 😀 I missed you guys!

Halloween Space Mermaid Makeup! <3

Hi beautiful people! I am so sorry i didn’t get my Halloween Makeup posted yesterday, i had a terribly busy day! 😦 But i am here now, with pictures and products to show you how i achieved my quick exciting look! I really loved how this turned out!

Here i used all of my new ColourPop single shadows to achieve a crazy bright look! I just started going with the flow and picking weird colors, it reminded me something in between like an alien girl and a mermaid, and with that my space mermaid was born ❤ These ColourPop eyeshadows are SO pigmented, SO vibrant, SO attention grabbing and glittery! Every makeup artist should stock UP on these shadow singles, no joke 🙂

Let me show you what colors were used:

 

Fizz (green), Ibiza (turquoise), Coconut (darker blue) and Fantasy (purple/pink)

I applied my MALLY base shadow to my eyelids, which is very similar to MAC paint pot in “Soft Ochre.” Then took Fizz and applied it all over my LID. Then i took Fantasy and applied it in my OUTER V and drug it across my lash line, then i used Ibiza to LINE my eyes: taking a eyeliner brush, wetting it, and then making a slight paste out of the color, applied the winged  shape i wanted then went it with the same color but dry and applied it over to the moist color to set it and make it more vibrant. Finally i used Coconut to line my eyebrows and then filled them in with Ibiza.

*** I have turned several of these colors into bold liners by using the process above, these shadows are versatile and can be used as eyeliner as well ***

SCALES:

Used a fishnet stocking  to hold against my cheekbones tightly, then i took Ibiza and Fantasy and packed it in around the holes leaving a scale fish type look.

❤

Thanks for reading babes! Hope you liked my crazy weird Halloween look and i hope you all had a fantastic Holiday Weekend! Leave comments & thoughts! 😀

Quick Review: MUA Lip Crayons & Gloss! 👄

Hi beautiful people! 😁 Today is FRIDAY!!! 💫🌟💫 Just wanted to share another few items i got for my birthday 🎂 Some Makeup Academy lip products in BEAUTIFUL colors! Let’s get right into it!

💗

These two are the lip crayons, in “Mauve” and “Fuschia.” Not sure why it is called mauve because it’s not haha but whatever, it’s a gorgeous regardless! 💘

The lipgloss in “Rose” comes with this thin and flatter doe foot applicator, making it easy simple application. This gloss smells like a typical lip plumping gloss, like tea tree oil or something intensely minty. Although, this is not a plumper it just smells like one. 😁 The color is very opaque and looks like a rosey glaze over your lips.

Let me show you some swatches!

Top: Fuschia Mid: Mauve Last: Rose Gloss

I really do love every one of these colors and they are super pretty, hydrating and creamy on the lips, but i find that the color on the actual packaging was mileading for “Mauve,” (the bright fig/orchid color tip) and the name was just flat out wrong haha.. Not too sure what happend with this color but i do like the color it really turned out to be, like a lighter bubblegum pink. 🌸 I’ll definitely be rocking all of these babies! 😆 Such an awesome gift!

I would reccomend these products over all, and they have tons more shade options if these ones in particular don’t speak to you! 😁💗

Thanks for reading honeybees! Please leave thoughts and comments for me!
