Dewy and Smokey

Hello!!! I've got a smokey eye look for you today! I received some Anastasia goodies from their upcoming Holiday collection to review for my blog and figured I would play around and do a look with the colors in the palette! I'll be posting a review soon but I must say it does include some great colors for a smokey eye!



Products:
Face:
Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat (got a huge sample of this from Sephora! Still deciding if I like the finish--it's very, vvery dewy but does provide nice coverage!)
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
Laura Mercier Translucent powder
Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller Concealer
Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed
Anastasia Brow Powder in Brunette
Anastasia Clear Brow Gel

Eyes:
Mac Painterly Paint Pot
Anastasia Eyeshadows from Want You To Want Me Holiday Kit: Graphicts all over lid, Iron On in Outer-V & lower lashline, Members Only in crease, & a touch of Ziggy in the crease
(^^review on this coming very soon!)
Mac Brule to highlight brow bone
Anastasia Liquid Eyeliner in Jet
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
Covergirl Lashblast (orange tube)

Lips:
Anastasia Hydrafull Gloss in Moi from the Kisses On My List Kit

Hope you like this look! Also, are there any liquid eyeliner experts reading? I received the liquid eyeliner in the Anastasia kit and am completely awful at applying it! I am much quicker and more precise using a brush with my gel eyeliner--getting a perfect wing with liquid is a mystery to me!! For this look I lined my eyes with it but then smudged it out with eyeshadow since it wasn't pefectly straight lol! Got any tips ladies!? :)

    Beautiful! As for liquid liner, it varies so much depending on the brush/pen included so it's really hit and miss for me.

    Very pretty! Definitely a soft, wearable smokey eye. I really love Anastasia products- their brow powder is one of my staples- but I've never tried their eye shadows. Perhaps I'll have to test them out sometime soon :)

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and...

Updated Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
Hey all! I've gotten a lot of requests asking for an updated post of my Inglot eyeshadows. I first posted about them last year after discovering how much I love them and how affordable they were for such a quality eyeshadow. After all this time, they are still one of my favorite eyeshadow formulas and I probably use at least one or two of them in each look I do. Since my first post, I have accumulated two more palettes so there are a bunch of new colors that I swatched (along with repeats from last year's post). If you'd like to read more about Inglot and the various eyeshadow formulas, please take a look at my original post HERE ! Let's jump into it!  I posted my swatches from left to right, top row first then the bottom! For quick reference, the finishes are as follows: P = Pearl, M = Matte, Double Sparkle = DS, Advanced Makeup Component = AMC, & lastly, AMC Shine  Again take a look at my first post  here  for more in-depth descriptions. ...

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review and giveaway (CLOSED)!!!!

Image
A while ago I was contacted by Anna from Reviva Labs to review one of their most popular products, the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer. I was very excited because I've always been curious about Reviva Labs--I've seen their products at my nearby Ulta and Whole Foods Market. Some quick information on Reviva Labs that I gathered from their site that I found interesting: -" For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking." -" No animal testing! Before it was even an issue   (way back in 1973), we announced the testing of our products in skin-care salons rather than on animals" - The first to introduce exfoliation to america... with our European LIGHT SKIN PEEL (We were explaining the importance of exfoliation years before the cosmetics giants introduced their versions) Now onto the Makeup Primer. It  is a silicone based primer that is not only fragrance free but also packe...
