Day Seven:: Ready For My Interview

Hello beautybeginners,

You see? I am getting better at this. So this will be a short post just showing you what I came up with. Hope you enjoy!
For my eye makeup I am wearing ELF Celebrity Mineral Eyeshadow on the lid and a taupe color from the covergirl exact eyelights palette in 715 Majestic Hazels in the crease. For and inner corner highlight I used the lightest shade from the same covergirl palette. Finally, I used a matte white highlight from the 88 warm palette. I wore Avon Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Black on my top and bottom lash line, I also lined my waterline. For mascara, I used Covergirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Platinum.

My lips were simple: I used my Jordana 7" lipliner in Petal as a base for my Avon Glazewear Shine in Darling Pink.

For the face I wore a mix of my wet and wild tinted moisturizer in 182 Natural and ELF Tinted Moisturizer in Honey and applied it with my ELF Studio Powder Brush. I used my NYX lipstick in Thalia again as a cream blush.

Here are some more pictures, enjoy!

Back to School: What's in My Backpack!

I am a 19 year old student in college. My major is accounting and I am planning to do a minor in Finances. I decided to just show you all what products I really find helpful for Back to School and whatever products are staples in my collection.
So here is my video: Hope you enjoy!

Day Six: Purple Smoked Out

Hello beautybeginners,
Yes I know I've been really bad. I decided to make a change on my original post on this series. Instead of posting my makeup looks every day I've decided to do posts only on the days I wear makeup. I think I haven't posted in like 5 days and that's just because I didn't wear any makeup. It's useless to do a makeup post without any makeup, right?

As you can probably tell by my skin, I went to the beach and got really sunburned. I did put sunscreen but forgot to reapply. :-(.
------------------------
This is the completed Eye and Face Look. This was a few hours later after straightening my hair so the lip color completely wore off but you get the gist, right?

------
Products Used:
1) First I patted Mysterious and Socialite, left, all over my lid using my ELF eyeshadow brush concentrating on the inner corner.
2) I applied Socialite, right, with a small Ecotools smudge brush as an outer V.
3) Then I applied some more color onto my Ecotools highlight brush and used that to blend it into my crease.
4) On my lower lash line I blended Socialite on the outer half and Mysterious on the inner half.







4)For a highlight I used my coastal scents 88 warm palette and I used a satin finish white which is the third column in from the left and the second row down.






6) I wanted to darken up the crease so I used the black I am pointing to in the 88 warm palette to give a bit more definition in the crease. I used the same Ecotools smudge brush for this look.




7) For liner, I used Wet n wild's creme eyeliner and the brush included to achieve a sexy winged out liner.







8) To finish off the eyes, I curled my lashes and added my CoverGirl Lash Blast Luxe in Black Platinum.





Lips:
Products Used:
EOS Lipbalm in Summer Fruit
Jordana Lipliner in Petal
Avon Glazewear Intense in Cherry Liqueur




1) I applied a lip balm all over my lips
2) Line my lips lightly with Petal and blended into the rest of my lip with my finger.
3) Topped it off with a light coat of Cherry Liqueur for a bite of red lips.

Day Five: Sunny Day


Heeee-llo!!!

Well today I just love the look I came up with. If you watched my "Huge ElF Haul!" video, you know that I got an ELF Elements Eye Shadow in Golden Glow. I had an appointment this morning and had to get up at 5:30 AM so I figured that eyeshadow would be PERFECT for a morning pick me up, and boy was I right! It was a super flattering color and I can't wait to get creative with it.
  • First, I put my NYX eyeshadow base in white, all over my lid as a primer.
  • Next, I placed Golden Glow all over my lid with my ELF Professional Eye Shadow Brush.
  • Then, I added a medium brown from the Coastal Scents 88 warm palette in the crease and blended it out with a clean blending brush.
  • I then placed a gold eyeshadow from the coastal scents 88 warm palette on the lower lash line and also added my favorite highlight (3rd down, 3rd in) on the inner corner.
  • Next some black eyeliner and Covergirl Lash Blast.
  • For lips I used Jordana Lipliner in Pink Petal and topped that with my classec Avon Glazewear Shine in Darling Pink. :-)
  • Face makeup as usual.

Day Four: Green Fiend

Hello Beautybeginners,
So yeah, I know I didn't post day four on day four, but I did take photographs. Oh and in case you were wondering day three was the tutorial before this post.
So I used ELF Mineral Eyeshadow in Earthy (wet) all over the lid, then I used a taupe color from the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette and then I used ELF Mineral Eyeshadow in Elegant as a highlight underneath my brow and in my inner corner.
For face makeup I used my ELF complexion perfection and a bit o' blush from my elf contouring blush and bronzer.

Here are some pictures:
