Simple Winged Eyeliner with A Pop of Color

This is a simple way to spice up a winged eyeliner look. I've been under the weather lately and felt good enough to do something simple. So I decided to do a winged liner look and wanted to spice it up a bit. So I of course did the winged liner then went for my pink eyeliner and lined my waterline with it as well as brought it out past my wing. I was very happy with the way it turned out. I've got nothing but compliments with this simple look.
Products used:
1. L'Oreal 12hr Infallible "The Super Slim" Liquid Eyeliner

Bh Cosmetics 4th edition 120 color palette

So I absolutely love Bh Cosmetics! Very affordable palettes and great quality. For this look I started by priming my eyes as well as applying a white eyeshadow base. I used #1 (maroon) and applied it to the crease blending upward to get rid of any harsh lines as well as lightning it up a little bit. I then took color #2 (light pink) and applied allover the lid bringing it to tear duct as well as inner bottom lash line. I then took color #3 (black) applied to outter v blending inward into the pink almost half way as well as blending upward into the outter crease just a little to give the maroon more depth. I then took color #3 and applied to brow bone to highlight. I finished with a ombre liner using my Maybelline Eyestudio Gel eyeliner and a pink eye/lipliner pencil. And tied the look together with my Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 616 Wink For Pink! I hope you all enjoy ♥

komplexx blends lipstick review

I won these Beautiful lipsticks in a giveaway and I must say they are gorgeous!  I recieved these in the colors Flirtini (pink) and Outburst (red-orange). They come in a cute tube with the brand sticker on it as you can see in the picture. They are very smooth going on, very vibrant and have a glossy finish. So there is no need to apply anything else on top. In the picture Flirtini is on the top lip and Outburst is on the bottom. As you can tell with Outburst it is more of an orange color when applied perfect for this fall :-) I highly recommend these lippies!

Swatches of some avon products

I got these avon products as gift from my wonderful mother. Here are some swatches of the products from the bottom working up. Avon metallic liquid eyeliners in electric blue, plum craze, and gold flash. The electric blue and plum craze are very pigmented but the gold flash in my opinion would be perfect to apply over black to give it a shimmer look. Next is avons super shock gel liner in velvet plum. It is also very pigmented more of a dark purple and goes on very smooth a little goes a long way. Then there is avons ultra luxury lip liner in true red. Is is very red and is very beautiful this would be perfect to line your lips with then apply ririwoo it would complement the ririwoo perfectly in my opinion.  Last but not least avons brilliant moisture in crushed rose. This lipstick is very very silky and a very beautiful color. It has a beautiful shimmer to it. Perfect color for fall.

Blue smoky eye

This is my take on a blue smoky eye. It only requires 2 colors and is very easy to achieve. 
1. Prime eye and apply a white eyeshadow base. (I used nyx jumbo pencil in milk)
2. With a flat eyeshadow brush pat on color #1. (is a dark blue)
3. With a blending brush blend #1 up into the crease. (This should make a lighter blue in the crease) blending is the key for this look.
4. Apply #2 (white) to the brow bone lightly blending into crease.
5. Add a winged liner, mascara,  and to give it that extra pop of color I applied a white liner to my waterline.
6. And done very easy and simple to achieve. :-) enjoy loves xoxo♥

e.l.f. palette review

So i won this palette in a giveaway and i was very excited to try it. This is the 1st e.l.f. eyeshadow that i have owned lol. The colors are very pretty but very subtle. Me personally i like bright vibrant stand out Colors. As you can see in the picture below the colors are very subtle. They do blend very easy though i must say. This is a good palette but just not for me nor my style.

products I used in todays look

These are two of the products I used in todays look. 1st is the e.l.f. duo contour and blush palette. This is the perfect product so far that I've used to contour.  It's very silky and blends into each other perfectly. As u can see in the top right pic. The lipstick I used is the revlon colorstay in front row. This product after awhile tends to wear off. Very pretty but will need to apply more as the hours pass.

smoky eye

For this look I started by priming my eye. I then used my L.A.Colors eyeshadow pencil in black applied just a little on the lid and used my blending brush to blend it all over as well as a little in the crease. I then used a matte black shadow and applied all over the lid as well as under lower lash line. I then used a silver to blend into the crease. And a white on the brow bone. Applied a black liner and smudged to add into the smoky look. Add mascara and done.

This is the finished look

green and purple look

For this look I used my bh cosmetics bh Hollywood palette.  I of course primed my eye. Then I applied #1 whivh is a dark shimmer purple to the inner v and outter v leaving the middle of my lid clear. I then applied #2 a shimmer lime green color to just the middle of my lid lightly blending into the purple. I then took #3 a matte medium purple applied that to my crease blending well you dont want any harsh lines. Then applied #4 which is a matte lime green to the brow bone blending into the crease. Add liner and mascara and done ♥

coral and brown

For todays look I used my 3rd edition bh cosmetics palette. I used my pink coral color all over the lid. Applied a light brown in the crease blending upward. Applied a darker shade of brown to the outter v blending very well u want it to be more soft looking. Appled a light pink to brow bone. Applied gel liner to water line as well as lower lash line smudging to get that smoked out look. Finish with a winged liner mascara and a pretty pink or coral lipstick in this look I used my maybelline vivids color in shocking coral to tie it all together. Hope you all enjoy this look as much as I did ♥

how to fix broken eyeshadow

As you can see in the upper left picture the eyeshadow is broken I bought it like this and got a discount yay!!! But back to fixing the eyeshadow. 1st break the rest of the color up into a powder grab alcohol (the rubbing alcohol not the kind you drink ;-)) add just enough to turn the powdered eyeshadow into clay like consistancy. stir it until all of the eyeshadow is coated. Smooth it out and let it sit for atleast 24hrs (thats just what i do) so it can set. and walla you saved your eyeshadow!!

swatches of lipsticks that I won from lipscape

I won these lipsticks in a giveaway hosted by Lipscape.  I was so excited to receive these they are so pigmented and go on smooth. They come in a cute lil bag with a conditioning lip balm.

smoky eye

Using my bh cosmetics 5th edition 120 palette I created this gorgeous smokey eye. I first primed my eye as well as smudged my nyx jumbo pencil in milk all over. I then applied #1 (silver) starting at tear duct working my way in 3/4 of the way on the lid. I then applied #2 (black) on the outter v blending into crease working my way to inner crease as well as blending inward on lid blending into silver. I then applied #1 to inner lower lash line as well #2 to lower lash line stating at outter v working my way toward silver make sure to blend the two together. I then applied #3 (light gray) to brow bone slightly blending to black on the crease. Finish it up with some liner mascara and my revlon cherries in the snow lipstickand boom done ;-) easy sexy look!!

neon

 For this look I used my bh ccosmetics 5th edition 120 color palette.  I of course started with a clean eye I then primed the entire eye as well as smudged my nyx jumbo pencil in milk all over. I started with #1 (which is a neon pinky coral color) applying all over the lid I suggest patting it on it gets better application.  I then applied #2 (Black) to my crease blending slightly upwards as well as into outter v. Then I applied #3 (white beige) to brow bone. I then applied #1 to tear duct as well as under bottom lash line only going half way. Then I applied #2 from outter corner going under bottom lash line blending into #1. I finished it off with a winged liner mascara and nude lipstick but adding #1 on top of that.
