Hello Everyone!

Just a quick face of the day post today. I've been loving the Rimmel Glam Eyes Trio in 650 Summer Chic (review here). It is so easy to use and gives an amazing look. You can use it for a day look or a night look depending on how smokey you want to make it. I also been looking the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 HR Foundation (review here) . I've been breaking out and this does a really good job covering and it lasts all day!

Spring Blush Picks

T to B: Skinny Dipping, Terra Cotta and Posietint

Hello Everyone!

 I recently did a top lipstick picks for spring (Read Here) so I thought why not stick with the theme and do a top spring blush picks as well. There are three blushes that have really been standing out to me so far this spring. I definitely feel like I will keep using them into the summer as well. They are all totally different but all perfect for this time of year! They are NYX Powder Blush in Terra Cotta, Benefit Posietint and Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Skinny Dipping.

NYX Powder Blush in Terra Cotta: I am a huge fan of NYX Powder Blushes. They are amazing quality and very wallet friend at around 5 dollars at Ulta. Terra Cotta has been my go to blush on days I want really bronze dewy skin. It does a great job of adding a bit of shimmer to your skin without looking sparkly. It is a perfect bronze toned shimmery blush with a hint in coral in it.

Benefit Posietint: I have the mini version of this but honestly I feel like it is going to last me forever because a little bit goes a long way. With the weather warming up, I feel like I am finding myself using more cream and liquid products. This liquid blush is a pretty poppy barbie pink color.  This stuff lasts all day! I can put it on at 10 am and when I come home at 7 pm it still looks amazing. It definitely going to be perfect when it gets really hot outside.

Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Skinny Dipping: This is a two sided blush with one being a really bright coral and the other being a dusty deep rose color. My favorite way to wear this is by mixing the two with a big fluffy brush. The combination color is a perfect rosy coral tone. I like this when I have brown eye shadows and a nude lip on. It is a great way to add a pop of color. You can find this at walmart for 6 dollars so it is a steal!

What are you favorite spring blushes?

Make Up Look: Modern 60's

Hello Everyone!
 Today I am going to share a make up look I did a few weeks ago. I was browsing through Pinterest when I came by a modern twiggy look. This inspired me to do my own take on the 1960's make up look. I hope you enjoy!

The Look: 

The Products: 

I just realized this whole look is drugstore brands! You can find all these products at Ulta Beauty (besides Jordana which you can get at Walgreens!). 

Essence Eyeshadow in 03 Starlight ($2.49)

L'oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black ($8.99)

Rimmel Soft Kohl Eyeliner in 061 Jet Black ($3.99)

NYX Glam Liner Aqua Luxe in Glam Lagoon  ($5.49)

Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in 06 Aqua Last (Walgreens, $3.99)

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume (forgot to include in picture, $8.99)

I applied Starlight by Essence all over my lid up to the brow. Then in my crease I followed the natural curve of my lid with NYX Glam liner. Using the L'oreal Lineur Intense, I created a dramatic wing. Next, I lined my water and tight line with Rimmel's Soft Kohl eyeliner in Jet Black. On my lower lash line, I used Jordana Eyeshadow Pencil in Aqua Last for an extra pop of color. I finished it all of with a few layers of the CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara. 

Lots of Love,

Dupe Alart: MAC Impassioned and Rimmel Kate Moss 06

Hello Everyone!

 I feel like all bloggers (and girls in general) are always trying to find drugstore products that are similar to  those of high end products. I mean who doesn't love to save a few bucks? I've seen so many NARS Orgasm dupes and MAC Russian Red dupes out in the lovely world of the internet. Dupes are definitely really nice to have around. In April I popped in CVS when Rimmel was buy one, get one free! So of course I had to get myself some Rimmel. I ended up with a ScandalEYES Eye Crayon and a Kate Moss Lipstick in 06. The first time I wore this lipstick, I knew it reminded me a lot of a different lipstick I had. Finally I put the two together and realized that Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 06 is a dupe for MAC Impassioned.

top to bottom: Mac, Rimmel

MAC Impassioned in a bit more cool toned than Rimmel 06 but besides that I didn't see much of a difference. I really like the formula of both lipsticks and they are both long wearing. Plus they both smell amazing. If you had checked the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 06, I highly recommend you do!

Loves of Love,
