NYX Highlight & Contour Wonder Stick

Leave a comment

Happy Friday Beauties!

I am so excited, this Sunday I fly home to Florida for the holidays. My family and I will be there through January 5th!! Of course I haven’t packed a thing yet, but tonight I’m on it.

I had been contemplating my makeup travel situation and knew I didn’t want to bring a whole lot of makeup. So, I started thinking of how I could accomplish that. I have one key eyeshadow palette 4 key lipsticks, some key brushes and of course my foundation. But, I wanted a way to highlight and contour without having to bring an additional palette. So, I headed over to Ulta where I picked up this

   
 
I was so excited about this thing! I used it this morning following the handy guide by MakeupShayla on the side of the packaging. Having never used Creme products to highlight and contour this was new for me. 

   
   
I applied the products as shown and blended them out. Here are my results. (these photos have not been filtered).

   

  


My thoughts, I really like it! It’s easy to use and does a nice job! Excited to have both a highlight and contour in one device! 

Well, that’s it for now.

XOXO

Bold In Blue

1 Comment

Hi luvs!

Today I wanted to share the key deets on this look from last week. I was going for something really dark, crisp and dramatic.

  

There are a few products that helped me accomplish this. First is my go to 2nd Edition 120 color BH Cosmetics eyeshadow pallet. I used the navy and black shadow for my eyes and on the lips is this NYX Wicked lippie in the color Sinful. 

   
 
I absolutely love this color! It’s so bold but beautiful. I paired it with some big silver earrings that offered a really great contrast to the look. 

   
 
What’s your favorite bold lippie?

My Eyeshadow Staple 

Leave a comment

Good Morning beauties!

Today I wanted to share some insight on a staple beauty product of mine. I get a lot of questions about whether or not I’m an MUA which is extremely flattering! However, I am just a beauty lover who enjoys playing with beauty products. But, when it comes to my eyes which are very large and expressive in case you hadn’t noticed (lol) I use just one product to achieve different pops of color. BH Cosmetics 2nd Edition 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette is it!



This bad boy has some gorgeous colors that challenge my creativity daily. And, you all know how much I just love to challenge my creativity. 



The colors are very pigmented and help me form some great looks. 

Edit









There are 3rd 4th and 5th Editions available but I’m still having tons of fun with this 2nd Edition Palette that I’ve had for over a year now, as you can probably tell (lol). You can get either of these Editions for just $16!! I highly recommend it. 

That’s it for now! Muuuaahh!

The Pink Pout Takeover

2 Comments

So I look in my little black makeup bag yesterday to find a Milani pink lippie takeover! I guess I hadn’t noticed that I’ve been wearing a lot of pink lipsticks lately. Probably because I was so excited about making my pregnancy announcement!



It looks like pink lippies are my go to this spring for vibrant colorful lips. And these three Milani lipsticks seem to have a permanent place in my makeup bag for the season. 



These are the three I happened to capture yesterday but I know there are a couple other pink Milani lippies that I’ll be wearing a lot this spring like Matte Diva and Power Pink. Here’s a look at me wearing Rose Hip and Fruit Punch over the last week or so.

What are your favorite lippies this season?

Gorgeous Glam with Milani

So I have to contribute yesterday’s glam to the two new Milani products I picked up. The color that they provided was so beautiful!

First is the Tea Rose Powder Blush. I absolutely love this color! It’s very pigmented and goes on extremely soft and smooth. My new favorite blush.

Next is this gorgeous lipstick called Matte Glam. It gave me just the pop I was looking for.

I am falling more and more in love with Milani products. And this is exactly why! Great quality products that are reasonably priced.

Seriously love all of them. I can definitely see myself getting the others. Out of these 4, I think I like Envy best. But…check with me again next week and I might have a new favorite. Lol! NYX did a great job with these. Very vibrant and unique colors. Which one do you like best?

Pretty much in love with this product! I’ve been trying out all of the colors I can find in this line and I just love them all. The colors are beautiful and last through my work day, easily! Most importantly though, because it doesn’t kiss off on him, hubby loves it just as much as I do! Win, win!

Today I happen to be wearing Red My Mind. It’s so vibrant.

Definitely recommend these beauties!
