Silver Smoke | 1 Palette Eye Look

Hey Y'all!!

So fun story...  I attempted to step outside of my comfort zone for today's post with some magenta/ MAUVEulous shades because they're so gorg and I want to wear them desperately, but once I was deep in it (omg is that what he said? I think it is!) -it was a horrendous tragedy and I looked like a rabid deer with pink eye..

Any whoooo... I did manage to create something blog post worthy on my second go round AND it's all from 1 palette.  So there's that.

Impressively enough I was able to create this only using about 3 brushes, but I really want to rave about this Real Techniques "Accent" brush!!!  Holy shit you guys!

I've only ever used it for highlighting my inner corner and MAN have I been missing out.  It's so perfect for applying precise eye shadow!  Especially metallics and glitters.

Since this look focuses primarily on the eyes- they're the deets I'll be going in depth about, but full face products will be below as well because I've got your back girl! Or guy. 😊

So here we go folks...

EYES: 

• Urban Decay Original Primer 
• Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette 
  

 *As you're applying and blending these shadows leave as much of your lid bare as possible until you get to #4.

1. "Undone" -Crease as a transition shade.
2. "DTF" -Into outer half of crease more inward as there's less product on your brush. (Blend blend until your arm breaks.)
3. "Defy" -Outer v, blended into crease shades. *(I also blended DTF & Defy onto my lower lash line from the outer corner inward about halfway.)
4. "Angel" -All over lid, blended edges into other shades.  I applied about 3 layers of this shade & sprayed my brush with Fix Plus. 
5. "Last Sin" -Inner corner
6. "Truth" -Browbone 

• Mac Fix Plus Spray (Sprayed Brush to apply "angel" to make it POP!)
• Black Eyeliner (Half of water line from outside)
• L'Oréal Carbon Black (Top & Bottom Lashes)
• Maybelline Falsies Push-up Drama (Top Lashes)
• L'Oréal Telescopic Carbon Black (Bottom Lashes)
• Essence Clear Brow Gel (To tame those unruly suckers.)

Face:

• Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation in "Nude 40"
• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in "Light"
• Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick
• Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder in "Translucent"
• Nars Blush in "Orgasm"
• Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Palette "Glo Getter" & "Kitty Kat"
• Ulta Lip Liner in "Bare"
• Bite Beauty Lipstick in "Honeycomb"

And there it is!  Wham, bam, thank you ma'am...

I hope you guys enjoyed!!

Current Favorites | Beauty + Skin Care

1. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Quickie Contour Stick 

-Obsessed! This is my first cream contour product.  It's precise and blends like a dream!

2. Morphe Brushes "MB5" 

-This is my favorite brush for blending the hoola contour stick.  Super smooth and flawless finish.

3. Real Techniques Contour Sponge

-This cute little sponge is great for blending the hoola contour stick (although it gives a less noticeable look, because the sponge sucks up a lot of the product) but it's also great for liquid highlighters.

4. Ulta Brand Clear Brow Gel

-My favorite brow gel!  Literally gorilla glue for your brows.  It locks them in place all day & night!  Let's be real, it would probably lock them in for a week but I haven't tried that out... Yet. lol

5. L'Oreal Balm in "Nourishing Nude"

-Such a subtle pretty color & it truly is nourishing.  Definitely a must to keep in your bag.

6. Buxom Plumping Gloss in "White Russian"

-There's no words for this beaut.  Perfect by alone or on top of other lippie products.  I love the cooling tingle feeling it gives.  Can't wait to use it in the Summer.  

I think it'll totally keep you cool in warmer months.

7. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum

-I've been giving this a try for about a month now.  It's a winner in my book!  Half the price of comparable products on the market and it works!  

It's reduced my "11s" and forehead wrinkles and gives a slight plump to the skin. 

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

-I am such a die hard fan of Nicole that I completely intended on buying it before I even seen swatches.  Once swatches went live on social media that was it!  

Heart palpitations.  Had to have it!

Such a great purchase!  It's SO pigmented, by far my favorite highlighters to date.  

Personally I think this formula is better than their other glow kits.

It's everything.

Simple.

9. Simply Balanced Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil

-Coconut Oil..  Enough said.  

This is just my go to brand.  It's affordable and it gets the job done.

I use this for everything!  Skin care, hair care, face, shaving, etc!

Coconut oil is just the answer to any problem you have in life and it's a must to have on hand.

That's all for products I'm currently obsessed with. 

I wanted to keep it as short and simple as possible without going off on too much of a tangent on each product.

I hope you loved it!

As usual if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to drop them in the comments.

Mahogany Smoke | Get The Look

Hey Ya'll!!  

So today I'm doing a post on this eye look. (Obvi lol)

I kind of just threw it together by mistake and ended up loving it so I wanted to share! :)

All of the other face products I used will be listed below, but since this post is focusing on the eyes that info is what will be most detailed. 

I mostly used the Morphe 35o palette for this look, so starting with that...

1. Mixing some of 1 & 2 on a fluffy blending brush, apply that into your crease & upward in windshield wiper motions until completely blended.  

2. Mix 3 & 4 on a pointed crease brush and apply into your crease, further defining it.  Starting in the center of your crease and going outward to the corner of your eye.  Pick up more product on your brush as needed and then blend from center in towards your inner corner. 

*Be sure to leave the very center of your lid clean for a different shadow you'll apply later.

* Do this as much as needed to darken it to your desired shade.

3. Take a clean, soft blending brush and blend out all of the edges of the shadow you just applied in your crease.

4. With a liner brush- take a mix of 4 & 5 and apply it to your lower lash line, and then smudge it out.

5. Apply L'Oreal "Iced Latte" in the center of your lid with a soft shader brush. 

6. Take the shade "Summer" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit and apply it on top of "Iced Latte" for an extra POP!

(This palette is seriously so GORG!! If you don't have it you need to get it like last week.)

7. Then also apply "Summer" to your brow bone & inner corner. 

(After I apply my brow highlight I always go back and blend the line between where my crease color ends & my brow bone highlight begin.)

8. Apply your mascara and you're done! 

 (I used L'Oreal Carbon Black & Maybelline Push-Up Drama)

Other Face Products Used:

-Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

-Garnier BB Cream for Oily to Combo Skin

-Clinique Stay-Matte Foundation

-Garnier Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller

-Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer

-Maybelline Master Fix Loose Powder to set my t-zone

-NYX Retractable Eyeliner in "White"

-Benefit Cheekathon Palette "Hoola" to contour, and "Coralista" blush with "Rockateur" on top.

-Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit "Summer" & "Moonstone" for my cheekbone hilight

-Rimmel London "Eastend Snob" Lip Liner

-NYX Liquid Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in "Lace Detail"

I hope y'all liked this post!  

Let me know in the comments anything else you'd like to see in future posts.

My Holy Grail Hair Products {Care & Styling}

Hey Y'all!

I get sooo many questions about my hair and the products that I use, so I've decided to share all of my secrets today.

My cut, color, and most loved hair care & styling products.

(The products that I use rarely change.  Most of them I've been using for years on years.)

Ps; I use a wide tooth comb.  I never use a brush and I only really comb it when it's wet after washing it.

Is that gross?  Whatevs.

As far as my color..

I have never dyed my hair.  Like ever.

I really love my natural color and am literally terrified to mess with it.

My hair has different tones and highlights on it's own and it gets more from the sun.

So...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

For my cut/ style.. 

I'm really not too picky about it.

I keep it about collar bone length with tons of layers.

I like the really messy, piecey look right now- I recently learned they're referred to as "deconstructed layers".

So whenever I get a touch-up, I usually get about an inch cut off and my layers re-touched.

Now for products.

I'm going to go in order from washing, styling, etc...

I've been using the L'Oreal Power Moisture for maybe a year or so.

(They've revamped the packaging since this photo, but it's the same product.)

I like it, I don't really get any buildup from it; however, I think it almost moisturizes my hair a little too much. Lol  

I'm not really complaining, my hair is soft as a baby's butt fresh out of the womb.

Given all of the torture I put my hair through, this is practically a miracle worker.

So, I got sucked into trying the new Garnier Whole Blends Line, because they were 2 for $7 at CVS and the smell was nearly orgasmic. 

I got the Honey Treasures set because it's repairing which I felt better suited my hair needs at the moment, with all of the chlorine & sun exposure during Summer.

And because, well, it smells like a tiny slice of Heaven.

So far, I really really LOVE it.

You don't need much, the shampoo lathers so well, and the conditioner is super thick and goes a long way.

My psychic senses tell me I'll repurchase or at least try some of the others in the Whole Blends line.

(These are all Paraben-Free)

I have been using this Garnier leave-in conditioner since I was about 15, literally.

It's just amazing.

Legit makes my hair so soft it won't even stay up in a bun.

I apply it to my wet hair after showering- either before or after I comb my hair.

Before if it's a rat's nest. Haha

This probably isn't ideal to use on dry hair, because it's a thick cream.

Can we say holy grail?!

Never will I ever love a heat protection spray the way I love the John Frieda Heat Defeat.

I actually have a super hard time finding it these days which is traumatizing, but I have located it at Ulta!  I nearly shed a tear.

Ulta for the win!  

I apply this to my wet hair, before I put in any styling products or use my blow dryer.

This John Frieda mousse is everything!

It's another love that I have been using for about 5 years.

It comes out thick, and it stays thick!

It's consistency isn't foamy like most others.  If I had to compare the consistency to something, I'd say cool whip. (Total weirdo, I know) But that's a hard quality to find in hair mousse!!

A little goes a long way, it doesn't make my hair crunchy, or dirty looking.

I use this as I am blow drying my hair.

It's super flexible, but helps build your style.

After applying my heat protectant and mousse, I begin to blow dry my hair with a diffuser.

Once my hair begins to feel slightly dry, but slightly damp, I spray my hair down with this and then continue blow drying until my hair is completely dry.  

Okay..  This product right here, this right here!!!! 

Game changer..  LIFE CHANGER!

I just love it.

I use this once my hair is dry, mostly on the ends of my hair but at the top also for some volume.

It gives a GORG piecey, messy look without making your hair feel powdery or dirty.

This is a product I stock pile.

I have a hard time finding it, so when I do I literally buy every single 1 the store has.

I refuse to live without it.

I first starting using this a couple summers ago for it's humidity control qualities, but now it's apart of my regular routine year round.

It doesn't make your hair stiff or hard, but it holds it incredibly well.

I use this at the very end of my styling routine just to lock everything in place.

Dearly love it.

All Garnier products have that incredible signature smell, I'm obsessed.

So, yeah, those are the keys to my secret chest of hair secrets and without them I just wouldn't be me.

Lol.

I hope you guys enjoy this post!
