Almay intense I-color trio for brown eyes

So I wanted a subtle look for today so I pulled out my Almay eyeshadow. The packaging is very simple and explains where the colors go. So I of course 1st primed my eyes. The I applied 1 all over the lid. 2 in the crease and outter v blending into color 1. The applied 3 to the brow bone blending into crease. Did a simple liner added mascara and finished this look off with my wet n' wild likpstick in just peachy. This is the 2nd time I've used this eyeshadow and I must say it blends very easy and it is very simple to use. So if you are just starting out I definitely recommend this.

Fall look

For this look I used nothing but avon products. I used my avon earthtone quad eyeshadow, avon glimmer stick liner in majestic plum and my avon lipstick in crushed rose. I of course primed my eye 1st. On the lid I used #1 on the inner crease and inner lower lash line I used #2  on the outter lid, outter crease and outter lower lash line I used #3 on the brow bone I used #4. Lined with majestic plum but I softed it up by smudging it a little bit. On the water applied a olive green liner. And finished the look with crushed rose lipstick.

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.

indroduction of myself

Hi loves I've had this blog for a few months now and I thought it was time to indroduce myself. My name is Alicia. I'm a mother of 5 wonderful children. I am married to a wonderful man who I know is my soulmate. I'm a huge lover of makeup. I love colors and i love trying new looks. I am currently freelancing which I hope to turn this into a profession, hopefully one day I will work for a high end cosmetics company. I am a total lover of animals, pitbulls especially.  I own 3 of them and they are the most loyal dogs I have ever owned. Ummmm..... I am 27 years young following my dreams and will not stop until I achieve above and beyond my goals. If there is anything y'all would like to know more about or any reviews or looks you would like to please feel free to ask.

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

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 ♥
