Thank you everyone for visiting my blog,  I will publish more soon.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas.

Retro fun

I wanted to do a really retro look today,  this is my imterpretation of a 20s-30s look.   Please excuse my hair its in loose pin curls hope it comes out ok.  For the eyes I used Maybelline color tatoo in tough as taupe,  I then went over it with Milani soft brown eyeshadow.   My eyeliner is Wet n Wild Fergie gel liner in black.   I used a Nyx lipgloss,  I know that dark thin lips was the look back then but my man doesn't like that,  so anyway I hope you like this look and if you have any questions please contact me.   All makeup used are drugstore products.  Thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a great day.

Storage ideas

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post,  sometimes life things get in the way.  Since it is gift giving season and some of you guys might get more beauty products than you have room for I thought I would share some storage ideas that work for me.   First off is my multicolored drawer stacker.  I got this from walmart a couple of years ago and it has been perfect for makeup storage,  I can be very organized and it doesn't take up much space.   It was around 30 $  but definitely worth it.   The next thing I want to talk about is my vanity, its a computer desk that has been repurposed for me, vanities do not have to be fussy, but its a great thing to have,  a place you can sit down and play with your makeup.   Lastly, I got these flatware organizers at target for 1 $ a piece and felt they would be perfect for my nail stuff.   Thank you so much for visiting my blog it really means a lot to me, have a great holiday and a great day.

Green reflection

This week's Disney princess inspired look is inspired by Mulan.  I wanted to break out of my neutral look and do something colorful.   I used a dark emerald color tatoo from Maybelline,  then I topped it off with a sparkly baked eyeshadow from Milani.   I used wnw brulee on my browbone and a black gel liner on my lashline.  I added a peach blush precious peach from the loreal true match line.   On my lips is a Nyx matte lip cream in Sydney,  a light pink nude.  As always only drugstore makeup was used for this look.   For a complete product breakdown or if you have any questions please contact me.   Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great day.  

Summer breeze

I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted.   Lately I have been shopping my stash quite a bit, and really trying to purge my way to a collection of products I love, use, and that work for me.  This week I have been going through some WnW eyeshadow singles,  and some matte lip products from Nyx.  Today I wore WnW single in nutty all over my lid and up into my crease.  I love this shimmery taupe shade,  its so flattering and compliments so many different looks.   I added black gel liner and black mascara.   I used my dream mousse blush from Maybelline in pink frosting.   I think the star of this look is the lippy, Nyx matte lipstick in summer breeze,  I love it.  Talk about a rediscovered favorite,  I am blown away with this lovely bright pink,  it looks almost glowing.   I do love the Nyx matte formula,  so pigmented, but they like most matte lipsticks can be drying,  so I put som EOS lipbalm on underneath.   As always only drugstore makeup was used.   For a complete product breakdown or if you have any questions please contact me.   Thank you so much for visiting my blog,  and btw my B day is soon, so I'm giving myself the benefit of being me.

Super pinup

Ok so I know it has been forever since I posted,  but here is a cute and easy look inspired by a beautiful hero.  I used a navy shadow as a liner and drew it all around my eye.   I then added a light pink blush and some chapstick.  I'm in the process of purging and streamlining my stash, so hopefully I'll get more posts up soon.   As always only drugstore makeup was used, for a complete product breakdown or if you have any questions please contact me.   Thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a great day.

Green line

I have really been having fun doing these colored liner looks.   I first used a green gel liner from Physicians Formula,  I then went over it and made it thicker with a green eyeshadow from Ulta.  After that I topped it off with a glittery gold liquid liner and my eyes were done.  I added black mascara,  a pink blush from Milani and a pinky nude lipstick from the Kate Moss collection,  number 101 I believe.   As always only drugstore makeup was used,  for a complete product breakdown or if you have any questions please contact me.  Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great day.

Product of the week

This week's product is Nyx lippies, or lip products.  I love the matte lipsticks I have several colors.   I also love the matte lip creams which are sort of a liquid lipstick.   I love their lipglosses while not being full color are a very nice texture and do add a lot of glossiness to the lips.  Their round lipsticks come in tons of colors and several different finishes,  I prefer the cream finish myself but I'm sure they have whatever you are looking for.  I have also tried a lipstick and gloss from their aqualuxe line,  these are very shimmery and shiny.  Do you have a favorite Nyx lipstick or gloss?  Mine would probably be Audrey from the matte line, what is yours?

Not just nudes

I did this look with nude in mind.  I used a shimmery nude shadow from ulta on my lid from lahline to brow.  This shade has a rosy tint to it, and gives my lids an almost glossy look.   I then added some bronzy brown liner, after that I felt it needed more sparkle, so I added a clear holographic liner on top of the brown.  I then put on a light pink shimmery cream blush from Maybelline,  sadly the dream mousse blush was discontinued,  but I believe the bouncy blushes are dupes, so you can get Pink Frosting still.   I then put on a pinky nude matte lipstick from Rimmell, the Kate Moss line number 17.  As always only drugstore makeup was used.  If you want a complete product breakdown or if you have any questions please contact me and have a great day.

Working the gold again

I'm sorry my lighting is so sucky here, I'm still working on it, but I really loved this simple look and wanted to share.   I applied black eyeliner pencil with a brush on my lashline,  then went over it with a gold gel liner.  I added a rosy blush and a fun matte pink lipstick from Milani called hot pink rage,  lol.  As always only drugstore makeup was used.   For a complete product breakdown please contact me.   Thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a great day.
