6.14.15

Today I decided to be a little adventurous with my makeup (disclaimer: adventurous... for me) and I did a peachy/mauve eye look with bright orange lips. I'm really liking these NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams and I'm doing a review on them! I'm currently wearing the color "Morocco" 

As you can see I was watching KathleenLights on YouTube while I was getting ready.. she's one of my favorite beauty gurus. Along with Desi Perkins, Chrisspy, PatrickStarrr, and (obviously) Judy!!! I'm forgetting a lot but those are currently my favorites.

The colors I used on my eyes are:
Soft Ochre Paint Pot for a base
Blanc Type (top right)
Soft Brown (middle right)
Paradisco (single eyeshadow)

Here's my makeup collection and storage video!!!

6.5.15 (NATIONAL DONUT DAY)

Some inspiration :)

Today was National Donut Day. Is it just me or does it seem as if there's a National Donut Day at least once a month? I mean don't get me wrong, I don't mind a day dedicated to donuts once a month, I just find it odd. 

Anyway, here's what I wore today. I went to the mall to catch up with a friend and then got my mom some birthday goods. 

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Shirt/Dress: Urban Outfitters this is a men's shirt that I bought in a size Large, and I wear it as a dress 

Socks: gifted, and greatly appreciated.

Shoes: Steve Madden. They match my hat perfectly

Im in love with this outfit, and I may wear it again tomorrow... :D

I bought the Kat Von D Shade and Light contour palette from Sephora today FINALLY. 

I also saw the Shade and Light eyeshadow palette too and I'm definitely picking that up after I get my next paycheck. 

ALSO. I'm completely re-doing my makeup storage, so that will probably be my next post

Generation Beauty 2015

Last weekend, Brooke and I drove up to LA to go to Ipsy's Generation Beauty event. When we got to the hotel, I was oh-so-kindly greeted by a middle aged foreign man who opened my car door for me. He told me that he doesn't work at the hotel but he thought that I was attractive. It's like... that's nice, but this older man my dad's age invading my personal space? It was a weird moment. 

Day 1 of Gen Beauty was pretty overwhelming. There were tons and tons of girls (and guys), but it was crazy be in that environment. I'm used to only having 1 or 2 friends that I talk to about youtube, but this was a place filled with everyone just like Brooke and I. And it was awesome. Brooke and I also got to meet Judy Travis (itsjudytime and itsjudyslife on youtube) and that was so great! She's someone we both watch regularly and look up to, and to meet her together was so cool and something  that I never thought would happen. 

If you love makeup, I suggest attending Gen Beauty. Everything is on a crazy sale!!! I did some serious damage. 

The swag bags were also filled with really good products. Most were sample sizes, but there were some full sized products in there! Day two's swag bag had more skin care, and I can't wait to test out the products. 

Day 2 wasn't as hectic as day 1, we got to say Desi Perkins, but we didn't wait in line to meet her. Tbh I didn't want to get a picture with her because she is so tiny and so gorgeous that I would have looked like a wildabeast next to her. I couldn't do it.

Tarte was having a crazy sale where palettes were $20 and majority of everything else was only $10. Obviously I took advantage of that sale, and got $300 worth of products for only $70. (Not pictured, a palette and mascara that I bought for my mom)

BROOKE AND I MADE ITSJUDYSLIFE'S VLOG :)

After going to Generation Beauty, I felt like I had enough makeup to last me a lifetime and that never have to buy any more, BUT I just bought some today....... i have issues.

Thanks for reading :-)

Also i started a youtube channel and posted a video!!!  It was really awkward and I tried 20 times over the course of 2 hours and finally was like f**k it I'm doing this in one take on my phone and I'm uploading it. So here it is.

More Sephora

I've been looking for a really good highlighter as well as a good contour product, and I think I found them….! I also picked up a new lipstick, just because :-)

I've been using Hoola bronzer by Benefit for the longest time, and it comes off as more of an orange toned brown on my skin so I've been trying to find something more cool toned and the NARS Contour Blush in Paloma looked perfect. 

I also have been using MAC's Soft and Gentle since my Freshman year of high school- so almost 5 years- and I got kind of bored of it and I wanted to try something new. That being said, Soft and Gentle is a really good highlighter. I highly recommend it. The Argan Enlightenment Illuminizing Veil by Josie Maran is a little more natural looking than MAC's Soft and Gentle, but it's more noticeable than Hourglass' Ambient Lighting Powder. It's right in the middle of the two. 

Right now I love the strong highlight/contour look that has been going on. I've been looking for the perfect products to get this look, so hopefully I found them!

The lipstick that I bought is NARS Audacious Lipstick in the color Anna. The packaging is really chic and simple, and I love it. The color is extremely opaque and the formula doesn't dry out my lips. I definitely want to go back to get more of these lipsticks. 

Bronze

It's currently raining and I'm really lazy so I decided to do my makeup!! This is more dramatic than what I typically do, with a heavy wing and false eyelashes. 

On my eyes I used:

MAC's Vintage Selection paint pot

MAC's Copperthorn fluidline

MAC's Soft Brown in the crease

Urban Decay's Nooner and Limit in the crease

Urban Decay's Trick on the lid

Eyelashes: Ardell's Natural Multipack 

Liner: Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Trooper

On my lips:

Liner: MAC's Whirl

Lipstick: MAC's Half & Half and Creme Cup in the center

I took two different pictures in semi-differnent lighting to show the look

Sephora Haul

After going to school on the beach, I have been wearing way less makeup than usual. I've completely forgotten how much I love makeup. When I get a computer that works in about a month, I'm thinking of starting a YouTube makeup account.

I'm also going to be attending Generation Beauty in LA on May 30-31! I can't wait. 

I went to Sephora today where I bought new foundation, a new liquid liner, a highlighter, and a beauty blender. 

Foundation: Marc Jacobs Genius Gel in Bisque Medium

Highlighter: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Ethereal Light

Eyeliner: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

My mom also bought me the Royal & Langnickel vegan brush set, but I'm waiting to try out the brushes to do another post. She got the set off of an app that we both love called Rue La La, which is basically an app with tons of different flash sales going on constantly! I highly recommend you all check it out!!!
