Urban Decay Haul

I little while back Urban Decay had a deal were if you bought two single eyeshadows your got the six pan eyeshadow palette free. I thought this was a great deal you got a free palette that comes with an eyeshadow and brush there were also doing free shipping during that sale so you get a total of three shadows and a palette for like thirty dollars. I eyeshadows I picked were Sellout and Blunt the free shadow was Walk of Shame. Sellout is a frosty light pink highlight shade, Blunt is a peachy gold shade its really pretty on blue eyes, and Walk of Shame is a Matt pale skin tone shade its got a slight pink undertone. The palette is like the Naked 2 palette were its metal and has clasps it really durable I would feel safe traveling with this palette. oh you also got a sample size of All Nighter there setting spray which I have never used before and really enjoyed it and would purchase it on its own. 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

Demi Lovato Makeup Break Down

 

 

If you ask me this is makeup Perfection! A perfect smokey eye the perfect amount of blush and bronzer and the perfect lip color. This is gonna be a long one so buckle up and lets go. This is defiantly party or going out makeup so were gonna take some extra steps so the makeup stays on all day. After toning and moisturizing your skin apply a foundation primer I like Urban Decay brighting and tighting or Hourglass mineral veil. For foundation use something that's more of a fuller coverage than a day to day foundation like Mac Studio Fix Fluid or Revlon Colorstay Oily/combo skin. Buff that into your skin using a Beauty Blender or Flat top Kabuki style Brush. You don't see one blemish or under eye circles so for concealer use something like Mac studio Finish type concealer or Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer. Use your finger to rub it in the heat from your fingers will get a better result. Don't powder for face yet save that for the end. Next prime your eye lids and fill in your brows. dust a light layer of your face powder over the eye to set the primer this will also help the other colors blend. So for eye shadows your going to need a matte black eyeshadow a really nice velvet-ty and pigmented, a medium to dark warm shimmery gunmetal color and a transition shade which is a matte eyeshadow that is 2 to 3 shades darker than your skin tone for me that's Macs Moleskin, Wedge, kid or Urban Decays Naked eyeshadow and a highlight shade. Now take a flat concealer brush and a black base you can use a gel eyeliner or a product like  NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean. Apply it to your lid stay under your crease (be very careful about that part) using a blending brush blend that out, next pat your black shadow all over your lid stay out of the crease. using a clean blending brush and using your transition shadow use wind shield wiper motion and blend the black out. Wipe off that blending brush and use the shimmery gunmetal color and buff it in to the black you blended out use just enough so its noticeable but not over powering the black now take a little bit more transition shade above the black and gunmetal your doing that to warm it back up. Now apply more black base to the lower lash line and buff the black into it and then some gunmetal over that take it all the way into the tear duct. Finally apply your highlight shade and just a touch of it in the tear duct. Apply a thin line of liquid liner to the top lash line and gel or pencil to the lower lash line make sure no flesh is showing. Get out you volume mascara and false lashes out I'm gonna use Ardelle Demi Wispies and Revlon Precision lash glue. Now finally powder your face and apply a light dusting of Bronzer, for blush I would use something like Nars Deep Throat. Her lips are nude and glossy so use the nude lipstick that looks best on you and a clear gloss. Now your finally finished and look as fab as Demi!

October Favorites

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first favorite is my Disney for Sephora Cinderella Compact. I love Disney Stuff I have a small collection of Marie Stuff from aristocats she is my favorite character. I hope Disney and Sephora keep doing princess collaborations I would love to collect all of the compacts.  On the Inside of the compact it says "Time for your moment."

 

Number 2 is a blush from Lorac that I totally forgot I owned this blush I bought it in a set it came it a beautiful little lace makeup bag 3 lip glosses 1 blush and 2 eye shadows. So I was shopping my stash and found this blush its called Rendezvous. To put it in Mac terms I would call it a sheertone Shimmer its a medium pink with a pretty pearl sheen to it it gives me that "I just walked through a snow storm Pinched cheek look" I think ill will defiantly be wearing this more this season. It is so soft and almost creamy feeling. 

 

Number 3 is the eyeshadow combination Ive been wearing this month is from the Urban Decay Smoked Pallet. Its really simple but looks smokey and complex on the lid. On my tear duct and brow bone I use Kinky, on the lid and a lil bit on the crease I sweep on mushroom using a flat soft blending brush like the Sigma E25. then using a angled shading brush use just a little bit of Backdoor shadow in the outer "V" and in the crease. lastly using a blending brush use just a small amount of Freestyle to buff out and warm up the Mushroom and Backdoor. On the lower Lash line buff in Mushroom all the way across and Backdoor on the outer corner. Add some black liner and mascara and call it a day. 

 

 

So not a lost of faves this month but some pretty good ones! I hope everyone had a great month and safe Halloween.

Emily Fields makeup Break Down

 

Emily is an athlete and trying to figure out her friends murder. Her skin is matt and long lasting so break out Macs Prolong Wear Foundation and buff and blend it into your skin and set it if you need to. For concealer I would use either Macs Prolong Wear concealer or any full converge long wear concealer. I don't see any blush but if you need to use it I would suggest using Macs Peaches Blush. Shes very tan I would only suggest using a matt bronzer no shimmer I would use Urban Decays Toasted sweep this on the hallows of your cheeks and along your hair line.

Usually she doesn't have much of an eyeshadow look like the other girls mostly just eyeliner but every now and then she and a medium matt grey shadow on the lid and strong black liner. For Shadow I could really only find one shadow the really fit and it was Macs Copperplate so sweep at on the lid and lower lash line use gel line on the upper lash line in a thick line. no liner on the water line just the shadow to add definition. Fill in your Brows and apply favorite mascara. 

For lips use any nude lips color that looks good on you. use gloss if you want to.

How I do my brows

Its really rather simple but you have to do it just right or you end up with chola sharpie eyebrows.  Using 4 awesome cheap tools you too can have nice groomed brows. Lets start with the tools, Sonia Kashuk spoolie, NYX Slide on eyeliner in Brown Perfection, ELF Small Angled Brush, and NYX Eyebrow Shaper. So start of with combing through your brows with the spoolie I then take the lid of my setting powder and draw a line of the eyeliner next take the smalled angled brush and dip it into the line of liner using very soft short strokes start filling them in I start on the bottom on my brow to get a define line then I go to the top line the still using soft short strokes I arch my brow to get a nice soft arch then what ever in left on the brush I fill in the rest of my brow. Once I get the shape and desired effect I take my NYX Brow Shaper which is just brow wax in a pencil form I run that over them to hold my tricky hairs in place. I used to really not like my eyebrows I found them annoying and a hassle I would fill them in in the morning my by early afternoon them would be worn off but now that I'm shaping them myself using the Sally Hansen Wax strip kit and this new brow routine I love them they really stay on all day and night.

September Favorites

 Well September is one of my favorite months because it was the month of my birth and this year was especially fun because I turned 21!!! some of my faves it month are new to me and are truly staples in my life.

 

 

My first Favorite is probably my most favorite it Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb Eau de Perfume spray my dad got me as a present. It smells so good, my old favorite perfume was Ambitious from Tilly's but now its Flower Bomb its like a grown up scent lol plus its really cute it looks like a sexy grenade.

Number two is so wonderful I've seen them in YouTube videos but never shelled out the money for one so when I could get it and its cleanser for a good price and then 20% off I jumped on it and IT is the Famous Beauty Blender OMG this thing is awesome! It blends any foundation in to make it look like real skin. I never have to worry about foundation lines again!! 

Naked skin Foundation is Great in general but with the Beauty Blender my skin looks perfect flawless even.
 
I guess this month I really focused on flawless skin because this next one helps with my under eye area and small blemishes. I don't want to speak to soon but I'm thinking this might become a Holy Grail product for me and it is Urban Decays 24/7 concealer pencil in FBI.

I usually wear my nude on board bronzer but this month I used the bronzer in the E.L.F. Blush and Bronzer duo the Nars Orgasm and Laguna dupe. I love both products the blush is SO pretty on NC20 skin or any warm toned skin really and the bronzer is darker than Nude on Board so it a little bit more noticeable on me. The only thing I find with this bronzer is I cant sweep it on it ends up looking weird I cant really put my finger on it but weird so I use a flat top brush and stamp it on under my cheek bones and along my hair line and it looks way better that way.

And with the Orgasm dupe I love using the Bdellium Tools 953 duo fiber brush to really buff in the blush it ends up looking really nice.

This month I think I pretty much wore the "Spencer" Makeup look I did in a previous makeup breakdown on.

I have so many makeup bags which is funny because I don't carry makeup with me in my purse and I'm not a world traveler so why do I have some many totes because they cute and I usually get them for cheap at Ross lol like the Betsey Johnson Betseyville hot pink, purple, yellow and orange leopard bag which is my favorite and what I'm currently using.

I like to pack and eyeshadow quad or palette for trips they hold multiple shadows and can be quite compact So I either like to pack Big surprise here Urban Decays Smoked or Naked 2 pallets but with both of those I have to pack a single crease eyeshadow like Macs Moleskin or Urban Decays Naked which is fine because I know ill use it. And Mascara it will most likely be L'oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black. Finally lips will Start of with lip balm I just got Fresh Sugar lip treatment Macs Lipstick in Plink or Perfect Day and for gloss will be my favorite in Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Bellini. For brushes I pack 12, ELF brushes flat top powder brush contour brush & 2 small angled brush, Bdellium tools in 953 & 781, Sigma brushes In F40, E55, E25, E40, E60 and a cheap brow comb and spoolie from target plus one Beauty Blender and eye lash Curler. and the very last thing is Parian Spirit brush cleaner in a small travel spray bottle.
