Leopard Halloween Makeup

Hey guys! I have been wanting to do a couple of Halloween makeup ideas and I finally did one tonight. I already had makeup on for the day so the steps below are just for the leopard makeup. You may want to start with your normal foundation routine. If you want to go all out, here is a link to do your nails in leopard print.

 

Products needed:

Light Colored Eyeshadow

Black Pencil Eyeliner 

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the color French Fry (Or a copper/brown eyeliner)

Mascara

 

Step 1: Use a light colored eyeshadow to highlight the inner corner of your eye and underneath the eye. I used the color Venus from Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette.
Step 2: Next, line your eye with the black eyeliner. I put it slightly below my lash line to make my eyes appear bigger. I followed my lash line to wing the eyeliner out and I also connected the eyeliner at the inner corner of my eye in a v-shape. If you are worried the eyeliner may wear off you can carefully go over it with a black eyeshadow to set the liner.
Step 3: At the outer part of your eye start to make different shaped spots with your copper or brown colored eyeliner. I used the color French Fries by NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil. 
Step 4: Using the black eyeliner start outlining the spots. Line some of them with 'c' shapes and others can be outlined with small gaps in the outline. 
Step 5: Apply 2 coats of mascara. If you want a more dramatic look you can use falsies.  
Step 6: To make the nose apply the black eyeliner to the tip of your nose.
Step 7: Use a black lipstick or the black eyeliner to fill in your top lip. If you find that the black is getting on your bottom lip you can always color them both in. I think that looks just as good. 
Step 8: Connect your nose to your upper lip with one thin line.  
Step 9: Add dots to your cheeks and whiskers if you choose.

I hope you guys like this Halloween look. It was a lot of fun to do.

Best Blemish Spot Treatment

Hello! I am excited to share this product with you. I have heard great things about tea tree oil being good for skin, so when I saw this product I knew I had to try it. It is the Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick and it's a non-drying spot treatment. I've had more than usual breakouts lately and this has really helped clear my skin up. It speeds up the healing process.

 

Directions: This can be applied to blemishes, insect bites and other skin irritations. It should be applied 5-6 times a day. I like that it can be worn underneath makeup. I always feel like piling concealer on a blemish makes it 10 times worse in the long run, but using this underneath it creates a nice seal. I always wash my face, apply the blemish stick then use a good moisturizer. The blemish stick only takes a few seconds to dry.

Packaging: It comes in a cute little matte bottle. I don't like that it is a roller ball though. I feel that it would transfer bacteria if it was applied directly to the skin. I like to wash my hands and put it on my fingers and then apply it to my face. A q-tip could also be used.

Smell: It does have a strong smell to it. Its hard to describe, but it has a medicated scent to it. It doesn't bother me, but some may not like it. It also goes away after it drys.

Prices: $6.99 

 

I would recommend this product to anyone who is in need  of a spot treatment. I really like that it uses natural oils and doesn't have a ton of chemicals in it. I have had awful experiences with other spot treatments that dry the blemish out, but also dry the skin around it and make it look worse than it did to begin with.

Fall Eye Makeup #2

Hi everyone. I hope you all are enjoying your day. Its has been rainy and cold the last few days here in Michigan.  Today I wanted to show you how to do this purple eye makeup look. I really like purples for fall, but obviously this is a look that can be done any season. I used Almay's I-Color eyeshadow in Bold Nudes. On the back of the packaging it shows you where to apply each color, but I used them differently.

Materials Used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer

Almay I-Color in Bold Nudes

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

Step 1: Apply  an eyeshadow primer to help the eyeshadow last longer and not crease.
Step 2: Then, apply the lightest color (top color) all over your lid and into the inner corner of your eye.
Step 3: Use the light purple (bottom color) to your crease and blend upwards and out.
Step 4: Apply the darkest color to your outer 'v' and make sure to blend. I blended it slightly into my crease.
Step 5: Apply eye liner and mascara.

I hope you guys like this look

 1.     What inspired you to start blogging?
 I have watched youtube for a few years and wanted to start a channel. I posted one video but took it down because it felt so awkward. Soon after I was introduced to the blogging world and enjoy reading posts just as much as watching videos. After thinking about it for a while I decided to give it a try. I really enjoy writing and I've had a lot of fun with it so far.

2.     You lost all of your makeup. What products would you repurchase first?

   I would repurchase concealer, eyeliner and mascara first. And probably chapstick. I hate chapped lips.

 Anything chocolate! 

7.     What song or songs can you not resist dancing to?
I can't think of any songs off the top of my head, but anything upbeat. 
 

8.     If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
  Since watching Couples Retreat I have wanted to go to Bora Bora. It looks beautiful and so relaxing and that water! wow.

9.     Show us a silly picture of yourself when you were younger.
 Unfortunately we are in the process of moving and all of my old pictures are packed away. I did find this picture on my computer though from 5 years ago. This is my husband and I when we were dating trying to ride a double bike.
