Neutral Make-up Look

Today I thought I would deviate from my easy go-to eye and play around with some of my other shadows other than my Naked1 and Naked3 Palette. I was just playing around revisiting some of my other shadows. 

Products I used:

Face

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer-NC20

NARS Bronzer-Laguna 

MAC Blush-Peach Twist

Maybelline Lumi Concealer for Highlighting-Radiant

Bare Minerals-Matte (Light) to set foundation

Rimmel Stay-Matte dusted over T-zone

Eyebrows

Anastasia Brow Wiz-Soft Brown

Lips

TARTE Exposed 

Eyes

Primed Lids with Urban Decay Original Primer

Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Vanilla all over lid

MAC Mulch on outer half part of lid

MAC Antiqued on outer V of lid and lower lash line

MAC Amber lights using my ring finger lightly dabbed on middle of lid

I couldn't help myself I had to use my naked 3 palette for my inner corner, I used the color Dust its a beautiful baby pink highlight 

Waterline I used Rimmel eyeliner in Nude

Mascara- Maybelline The Turbo Volum' Express

Eyelid Liner I used Stila Waterproof liquid liner

It is very neutral and warm toned! It can be worn pretty much anywhere too because I kept the rest of my face really neutral as well. You could dress it up with a bold-lip if you wanted, but because I am not doing anything too exciting today I thought I would keep it nice and simple!

Enjoy your Day!

Naked 3 Palette and My Week

So I missed a day or two of blogmas, but I can't be too bummed because I was pretty sick and it just wasn't going to happen. I don't have the best pictures of the Naked 3 Palette (just the ones I took unpacking it). So I will include a few of the ones I took from unpacking it. When I am feeling better maybe I will post a few make-up looks using this palette. Needless to say, I am ecstatic I got it before it sold out because I am in love...

A picture I posted on my instagram right after I opened the package from Sephora. UPS brightened my day :) 

I will be sure to add better pictures, but these are the lighter colors of the palette... 

And the darker colors of the palette, blackheart is amazing!

And one of the many reasons why I haven't been able to post in the last two days is because I have been getting ready for finals and preparing for a presentation. We presented on our research over the semester to the Biology department/Chemistry department. 

What has everyone been up to this week? Was anybody just as impatient as me and get a hold of a Naked 3 Palette as well?

New, Loved, and Craved Beauty Products

BLOGMAS DAY 3 

New Purchase

So I have just purchased the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Soft Brown. I have relatively thick eyebrows as it is, and not too many sparse areas so instead of using a shadow like I typically do I thought I would give this a go. 

Recent Purchases That I Love/ Still Love

I just wanted to update everyone on a few beauty items that I have re-purchased, I always have one of these in my make up bag, its the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer and Highlighter. During the summer I wore the color Ivory, but last winter I was wearing the color Radiant. This winter I have repurchased Radiant as I am nearing FINALS week I am going to need all the help I can get with these dark circles.

A few years ago I was wearing the Mac Pro Long Wear Foundation, then my skin decided to go through some changes...I changed my skin care routine and my foundation and never really ever thought to go back to it, even though I really loved it. I had been debating on getting the Mac Pro Long Wear Concealer and early last month I decided I would give it a go. I am so happy I did too. I wear the color NC20, typically you should go for a more peachy tone underneath your eyes, but I use a  tiny bit of the peach toned highlighting concealer (Maybelline Lumi) on top in the corners and it works really well. I am Greek and Italian so I have very olive skin undertones that are hard to match, that's why I love the yellow based foundations and concealers of MAC. 

Craving

I need to get my hands on a Naked3 Palette, believe me I have tried. SOLD OUT or three times the price that it sells for. I am crazy, but I am not crazy enough to spend hundreds of dollars on a palette that only costs around 50 dollars. So I suppose I will just have to sit here and wait....and wait! It is so gorgeous though, cool toned colors do not look good with my skin tone if I even think about doing a gray smokey eye I wind up looking like a hooker. Browns and peaches, warm colors, thats what steers me away from looking like I belong on a street corner. This palette has amazing warm tones and I am just obsessing over wanting one! 

THE IMAGES ABOVE ARE WHAT I HAVE JUST LISTED. CHECK THEM OUT! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CRAVING THIS MONTH IN THE COMMENTS BELOW! Maybe we can guide each other on the best beauty products and where to snatch them up! Have a great and cozy soon-to-be- Christmas afternoon ;)
