Katy Perry Concert Make Up && Outfit




Hello Everyone!

I hope you've all been having a great summer while I took a little break from blogging. I couldn't really decide where I wanted my blog to go - more reviews, more fotd, tutorials or what not. I decided I want to push myself more with more tutorials (maybe start a youtube channel) and fotd as well as stepping by my photographs. Hopefully, I can stick to this through this coming up school year. I can't believe I start classes in less than a month. Anyways, let's get down to business.

 Last week, my lovely friend Rikki invited me to go to a Katy Perry Concert with her and two other of our friends, Linnie and Jolie. Never did I expect us to be less than ten feet away from the stage! Katy Perry is an absolutely amazing performer and such a lovely singer. Today, I am going to share with you the make up  and outfit I wore to the concert. Forgive me, but I don't remember the exact products I used. For the eyes, I did a neutral base and then used a matte brown to smoke it out a bit. I decided that purple was going to be my color of choice that night so I added a bright purple into the inner corner of my eye as well as a bit in the inner third of my lid. I then used the same purple on the outer two thirds of my lower lash line. I then used kitten by Stila in the inner third of my lower lash line. I added a thin liquid black line and a few coats of mascara. Lastly, I added a cherry red lip and a little bit of glitter over kitten right before the concert. This is what it turned out like! I really liked this look. I thought it was super fun and very Katy Perry.  As for my outfit, I went pretty simple with a pair of high waisted shorts from Forever 21, a flawy navy blue top that I got from Rikki's mom (Thanks Gayle!), my fairy shoes from Steve Madden, a bright blue heart necklace and a purple flower hairband I made last summer.








Lots of Love,

Review: Bite Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Grape









Hello Everyone!

I don't know if it is just me but purple lips have really been something I have been dying to try. I have seen purple lips  pop up everywhere from  NYFW to Vogue. However, they are definitely pretty intimidating. I been trying to find a nice starting purple color to get myself more comfortable with purples in general and I think I have found that perfect introduction color. Bite Beauty's Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Grape is a perfect starting color. Don't let the name scare you!

The color advertised at the end of the stick looks like a very bright purple but once you open it up and actually look at it, it is much more pinky toned then expected. It is described as a "muted violet" on the Sephora website but personally I think it is much more of a pinky cool toned lavender. It is absolutely gorgeous on and I think it will look amazing on a lot of different skin tones.

My absolute favorite thing about this is definitely the finish and formula. As you probably would've guessed by now, it is a matte finish. However, it is not drying what so ever and it actually feels rather moisturizing. When I was talking to the girl that works at Sephora about it, she was telling how Bite is all natural brand and that is why it is not as drying as a lot of other matte lip products. It glides on really easily and you don't have to worry about it sticking to dry patches on your lips.

Overall, I am super impressed with Bite Beauty and as this is the first product I have tried from them, I definitely want to get my hands on more. You can pick up this lovely lip crayon at Sephora from 22 dollars. If purple isn't your color, it also comes in five other colors! I honestly cannot wait to try more Bite Beauty products!

Lots of Love,
Rena
