Summer FOTD's Fin.

Hello Beauties! Where did this Summer go? I'm still trying to figure it out but I did enjoy every minute of it. Sadly this will be my last one this year (school starts tomorrow). Hope you enjoyed these posts because I enjoyed sharing!

This is like my favorite makeup look. I had the time to do this everyday I more than likely would.

I live for green eye shadow.

OCC Hoochie Liptar

I used MUFE #9 shadow. It's definitely one of my favorite purples.

MAC Tarte & Trendy Lipstick

Pink Pepper and purple

L. A. Girl Last Night lipstick

Neutral eye with pops of color/Sugarpill Velocity e/s on the lower lash line/ OCC Pretty Boy lip tar

B'Day makeup

MAC Deep Damson pressed pigment, RiRi Woo lipstick

MAC Pressed Pigments 2013.

Hello Beauties! Today's posts features a couple of the new MAC Pressed Pigments. I'm so happy I decided to try these because they are absolutely stunning and very easy to work with. Take a look at the two I picked up, enjoy.

Pink Pepper, Damson

Pink Pepper - "Deep coral with gold pearl" 

Damson - "Deep brown with gold pearl"

Swatches

Pink Pepper, Damson

The swatch really doesn't do justice for either of them. They have a great sparkle and shine that has glitter but not too glitter-y if that makes sense. I apply them but spraying my face with Fix + and a flat paddle brush. I don't experience fall out by using that method. 

These each retail for $21 and they are both limited edition. If you can get your hands on these I really recommend getting them.

Please leave any questions or comments below.

Thanks for reading!

Ben Nye Haul.

Hello Beauties! Today I'm sharing a few photos & swatches of some Ben Nye creme products. It includes a mix of mostly the creme colors, one creme blush or rouge, and a creme highlight.

I purchased these items from Makeup Mania online.

They each retail for $5.95.

The creme colors can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips. The creme highlight all over the face and the creme rouge states usage for the face. 

Ben Nye Creme Color - Bright Pink

Ben Nye Creme Rouge - Coral

Ben Nye Creme Highlight - Deep (CH -5)

Swatches

Bright Pink, Coral, Dark

Ben Nye Creme Color - Orange

Ben Nye Creme Color - Yellow

Ben Nye Creme Color - Vivid Violet

Swatches

Orange, Yellow, Vivid Violet

Ben Nye Creme Color - Lime Green

Ben Nye Creme Color - Gecko Green

Ben Nye Creme Color - Green

Swatches

Lime Green, Gecko Green, Green

Ben Nye Creme Color - Turquoise

Ben Nye Creme Color - Sky Blue

Ben Nye Creme Color - Blue

Swatches

Turquoise, Sky Blue, Blue

So far I've used the creme colors as eye shadow bases to make the colors pop. They do a really good job but I would recommend using a primer before hand & they do crease so I would also make sure to smooth/blend out before eye shadow application. 

I planned on using the creme highlight to highlight under my brow bone but it may be a bit too pink for that. 

If you have any questions or comments please leave them below.

Summer FOTD's 5.

Hello Beauties! I cannot believe it's August already. I can say that this Summer has been a good Summer for makeup for me. Meaning that I got to use a lot of my collection by constantly rotating products and also adding some new products into the rotation. On to the looks, enjoy!

Very bright colorful look

MAC Magenta lip pencil. RiRi Boy lipstick. Feel My Pulse Lipstick.

I did this fun look using some of my Wet N Wild eye shadows

MAC Korean Candy Sheen Supreme lipstick 

Double winged liner using Lime Crime's Blue Milk liquid liner

NYX's Euro Trash matte lipstick and Buttery Nude Xtreme lip cream

Finally something neutral

Aside from MAC's Naked Dark pigment on my brow bone, all the other eye shadows are from Coastal Scents.

I picked up a few of their hot pots during the latest sale and I haven't used any other shadows since.

I'll have pics and swatches coming really soon. 

NYX Pure Red matte lipstick

The star of this look is the blue shadow, Brandeis Blue, another shade from Coastal Scents

Ablaze Lip Pencil on my lips

No Naked Sunday

Again all Coastal Scents shadows, MAC pigments in Tan (on the lid) and Naked Dark (on the brow bone)

MAC Magenta lip pencil and Feel My Pulse lipstick.
