Summer FOTD's x3.

Hell Beauties! I hope you are enjoying your Summer so far, I am but I'm starting to feel like it's flying by. Here is another "this week in makeup" post. Hope you enjoy!

I wanted something simple and colorful all at once, this was the result. 

I used shades from a no name palette on top of MAC's Fascinating Eye Kohl

OCC's Grandma Liptar

Dark blue smokey eye using Sleek's Bad Girl palette//Stila Turquoise Smudge Stick (waterline)//MAC Razzledazzler lipstick

Another bright look:

Inglot 370, MAC Sunny Spot, Inglot 372, Inglot 388, MAC Ablaze on the lower lash line

MAC Tarte and Trendy Lipstick

This was like the easiest look to do UD Buck in the crease, Naked on the brow bone, Faint on the lid and Half Baked for the inner corner

MAC Sounds Like Noise lipstick

Gold and purple look with Ablaze eye shadow on the crease (I'm loving that shadow)

MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick//Over Indulgence Cremesheen glass

Favorite Highlighters.

Hello Beauties! Todays post features a few of my favorite highlighters I've been lovely lately. I feel like I have quite a few more but did not want to overload you all with shine. LOL

MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finishes in Glorify and Double Definition

I love all 6 of these but currently these are my 2 most used. 

MAC should make these part of the permanent line.

Hard Candy's Tiki Bronzer

I LOVE this. I'm not sure why they call it a bronzer but this is a amazing.

It gives the prettiest golden glow to the skin.

MAC Shell Pearl Beauty Powder

This gives a nice rosy sheen to the cheeks

Maybelline Dream Sun Bronze Face Illuminator

This is LE but I know it's still available this Summer

If you can get your hands on it I say grab it

I love the glow this gives

MAC Golden Bronze Iridescent Power

This is my 1st highlighter and it's still my favorite

MAC Naked Dark and Tan pigments

Naked Dark pigment is my new favorite brow bone highlight

Tan Pigment is perfect for highlighting the eyes or the face

What are some of your go-to products for that Summertime glow?

Thanks for reading!

Summer FOTD's 2013 Part Deux.

Hello Beauties! I have another "this week in makeup posts". I'm going to try to do this weekly this Summer because I've been enjoying able to try out new looks while shopping my stash and also trying out new products.

"Tropical"

I used a mix of MAC, Inglot, and Sugarpill e/s. I believe the purple is MUFE #92 (best purple ever).

I wore this out shopping and several compliments. I used MAC Guacamole e/s in the inner corner and I love it. I will be trying that again soon.

On my lips I mixed OCC's Grandma and Melange lip tars.

"Naked Sundays"

UD Naked Palette

MAC Ablaze Lip Pencil//Sushi Kiss Lipstick//Honey Jasmin Blush

"Strawberry Suede"

MAC's Chrome Yellow on the lips and Hi Def Cyan Chromagraphic Pencil for my waterline

MAC Ablaze Lip Pencil//Revlon's Strawberry Suede Matte Lipstick

"Mean Green" 

I used MAC's Landscape Green pigment w/ Sugarpill's Goldilux loose eyeshadow

This was one of two days that I was running late and applied my lipstick in the car

I used Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Color Just Peachy and MAC Kissable Lip Colour in So Vain

"Neo-Orange"

MAC Neo Orange Pigment

Day 2 off running late

I applied MAC's Sushi Kiss lipstick and Richer, Lusher cremesheen glass 

You can see it here

"Father's Day"

Product Rave: Lime Crime Velvetines.

Hello Beauties! I can't even find the words to explain how much I really love this product. It's really like magical amazement made with unicorn sweat or something, I don't know. I love everything about these, the texture, the finish, the longevity, I even love the smell.

Before I completely stop making any sense on to the photos...

Lime Crime Velvetines

Suedeberry "Warm, vibrant strawberry-red"

Red Velvet "Rich, velvety red. 'Her lips were like a red rose'..."

Description: "Liquid lipstick that goes on like a gloss and dries to a matte, touch-proof finish." 

Price: $16.99

Where to buy: Lime Crime website 

Swatches

Suedeberry, Red Velvet

Suedeberry 

Red Velvet

They have a hard time keeping these products in stock so if you have the chance to pick them up I say get them. Especially if you like long lasting matte red lips. 

Please leave any thoughts or questions in the comments below.

MAC All About Orange Haul.

Hello Beauties. This post features the few items I picked up from the All About Orange Collection.

Tarte and Trendy 

"Bright neutral orange cream"

Lustre finish

Sushi Kiss

"Midtonal coral"

Satin finish

Honey Jasmine Blush

"Soft warm coral"

Satin finish

Swatches

Sushi Kiss, Tarte and Trendy, Honey Jasmine blush

The lipsticks sold out really fast on the MAC website, as they usually do, but I believe Nordstrom has them available for backorder purchase. Also check your local store/counter. The local one here still had everything in stock this past weekend. 

I love both lipsticks! I was hesitant to get Sushi Kiss but it turned out to be my favorite and of course I love a good orangey/coral blush.

Did you pick of anything from this collection?

Thanks for viewing!

NYX Shocking Pink lipstick//If you're wondering about that glow it's from the new Maybelline illuminator

"Bad Hair Day"

This one of my favorite neutral eye combos: MAC Blonde's Gold Pigment, Saddle and Soft Brown in the crease. Really quick and easy.

I'm also back in love with MAC's Refine Golden bronzer//Lady Danger on the lips

I still use my UD Naked palette on Sundays. I also use the Naked Basics palette along with it.

I love how it gives the option of matte colors.
