November Favorites

This month I really didn't wear too much make-up because I was so BUSY! But I was able to find a few new things that I am really enjoying!

I have been trying to find a more yellow toned foundation for a few months now. I really wanted to get something from the drugstore, because I didn't want to spend $30+ on a high end foundation right now. I FINALLY FOUND ONE! I was at Wal-Mart making my normal rounds in the beauty department and Revlon isn't really ever one that I gravitate towards, but that day I did! I got the Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin. Mine is in the color 150 buff. I'm really digging this! It does stay put for quite some time and it evens everything out. This is a medium coverage foundation. If I try to build it, it just moves everywhere, so that doesn't work for me. 


Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily Skin 150 Buff, $9.98 

Have any of you tried the Real Techniques brushes? They are just wonderful! I needed a brush to set my under eye concealer and I actually found this one in my collection. DUH SUMMER. (eye roll at myself) It's perfect for what I need. It's small enough to get into the areas that you need it to, without messing anything else up. It's also really soft, like all of their other brushes. 


Real Techniques Setting Brush, $7.99
Milani is one of my favorite brands at the drugstore. They have some of the best blushes I have ever came across. So, since I haven't worn much make-up this month, when I did I wanted something more natural looking. Luminoso is what I grabbed almost every time. It's a light pink-peach color with a hint of gold shimmer. You can definitely overdo it if you aren't careful. But it gives you such a beautiful glow. You do not need a highlight when using this, unless you really wanna. ;)

 Next is a Nyx Butter Gloss, I love these things. They are pigmented and creamy and they smell like HEAVEN. My favorite color this month has been Red Velvet. I wear it by itself, over pink lipstick and over reds. It's beautiful!

If you are looking for an amazing liquid liner, that is also cheap, then look no further! This has been a favorite for many beauty gurus, for quite some time, but I just got it. It is the N.Y.C. Liquid Eye Liner in black. This makes winged liner so simple! It stays forever and it is super pigmented. For only $2.99, you can't beat it!

Last, I want to talk about the Simple Oil Balancing Cleansing Wipes. I like these because I have oily skin and if there is anything that can help it in the slightest then I am all about it! They get everything off that needs to come off and they are wonderful for sensitive skin. I'm into many of Simple's products because there aren't any perfumes, dyes or alcohol. If you wear contacts and other wipes bother your eyes, try these! I also really like the exfoliating ones.

Fall Tutorial With Lorac Pro 2

Fall is my favorite season. I love the gray skies, sweater weather and bringing Starbucks back into my routine. But, most of all, I love Fall make-up!

Today, we're going to create a look using the Lorac Pro 2 palette. I can already tell that this will be a staple, for me, for Fall and Winter! Let's get started!


First, you want to prime your eyes. I used my favorite primer by Urban Decay. Then, with a fluffy blending brush, I buffed Light Brown into my crease.


Next, with a shader brush, I packed Rose onto the inner half of my lid and into the inner corner. Be sure to blend the colors together after each step.


After that, I took Jade and packed it onto the outter half of my lid with another shader brush. Then blended Rose and Jade together.


Then, with a small blending brush, I blended Plum into my outter V.


After doing my brows, I highlighted my brow bone with the lightest color, Snow.


Make sure to blend, blend, blend! Now it's time for eyeliner! All I did was add black liquid liner to my top lash line. I didn't do a thick line and I didn't wing it just so that I didn't take away from the shadow. 


Last, you want to add a coat or two of your favorite mascara! And that completes your eyes!


For my face, I wanted to keep it simple. I used a liquid foundation that sets to a matte finish, bronzed my face and added a deep colored blush. On my lips, I wanted a dark matte lipstick so I used MAC's Diva. 

Here's the final look!

New At The Drugstore: The Nudes Palette by Maybelline

FINALLY! There is a big palette at the drugstore! Maybelline has come out with a new, 12 pan palette simply called, The Nudes. In this you will find all of your must have neutrals. From white to light brown to black, everything you need to create a neutral eye is here. Here she is in all of her glory!

The Nudes Palette by Maybelline $10
The first thing many of you probably think of when you see or think of this is the Naked palettes from Urban Decay. Now while the Naked palettes are better quality and much more pigmented, they are also $52. This one will only run you TEN bucks! So, for all of you on a budget or for you teens that can't afford the high end stuff (my mom would have shot it down in a heartbeat lol), this is perfect for you! 


On the back you will find a pretty cool feature. Say you are a beginner and you don't know what shadow to use where, well there's a cheat sheet! You will find ways to use this as a quad, trio or duo. You can also go to Maybelline's website and they'll tell you where to put each shadow.

Top Row (No primer)

Bottom Row (No primer)

As you can see, the lighter the color the least amount of color payoff. The colors are build-able but it takes a lot more time. I have used this with primer and it does help the color show up a little more but not too much. None of the shadows are completely matte as they do have slight shimmer. The shimmer shadows do seem to show up much more than the matte/satin colors. The shades are very blend-able but the lighter colors come off a little chalky. 

Overall, I really do enjoy this and I do recommend this for those of you that want staple shades in your collection. 

Here is a more natural look I created this morning.
