Gray Smokey Eyes

Hey guys!

Iam really into cool tones lately and love gray right now. I hope you will enjoy reading how I created this look!

Products:
Urban decay eyeshadow primer
eyeshadows: Gray, black, and Light gray
Urband decay Perversion Black eyeliner pencil
Blending brush, crease brush, and angled brush
Mascara if you want ( I do not have it on in the picture)


So first I apply the UD eyeshadow primer all over my lids, and let that dry. I then take a light gray eye shadow I have, I used my Lorac eyeshadows for this look and apply it all over my lids.
Next I take the gray eyeshadow and blend it on my crease using windshield wiper motions.
I then take my eyeliner from UD and apply it on my angled brush, then take the brush and line my water line and lash line. It is a very natural look, so I wanted to create a soft smokey eye.

And you are finished! All you need is mascara and you are good to go!

I hope you enjoyed this mini look, and stay tuned for more!

NO MAKEUP, MAKEUP LOOK: My Everyday Natural Makeup Look!

Hey Dolls! I hope you all have been great. I know its been a while since I updated, I was very occupied with some personal things. I created this look couple months ago, and I wanted to let you all know what products I used so you can also do it yourself. I love the "no makeup, makeup" look. I think its very popular these days plus it looks gorgeous on everyone because it is an everyday look. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love all GLAM makeup, but sometimes when I just go to the mall, or to school, or visit my family, I normally wear my makeup this way. I will do another post on my Glam makeup soon! So stay tuned. 

So to re-create this natural look you will need:

1. Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation

2. Mac Loose powder

3. Mac prolongwear concealer

4. Inglot gel liner #77 (Or any black/ lliquid or gel liner you have)

5. Any black matte eyeshadow

6. a Contour Kit (I have Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit) 

7. Rimmel Bronzer

8. Nude Pink Lip Liner

9. Mascara

10. Makeup Forever Setting Spray

11. Beauty blender (or a beauty sponge)

So I did not apply any primer on this time, I usually do but for a natural look I do not apply primer because you honestly do not need it. 

Face:

1. I took my Mac foundation and dotted it all over my face, then I took my damp beauty blender and gently dabbed it all over so the foundation will be evenly distributed. 
2. After that, I took my Mac Prolongwear concealer and applied it on my under eye area, down the bridge of my nose, a little bit where I had some blemishes. Then I bounced the beauty blender over that too. Once that was blended well...
3. I took my real techniques powder brush and applied Mac Loose Powder all over my face. I also took a small eyeshadow brush, and packed that loose powder on my undereyes, so the concealer will set well. 
4. I then took my Anastasia Contour Kit, and took the shade Havana from there, and slightly contoured my cheeks with my Eco Tools Kabuki Brush. After that...
5. I applied bronzer on my cheecks which was by Rimmel, I did not go to harsh on that, I gently applied it when the same Kabuki brush I contoured with.
6. After that, I took the shade Banana from the ABH Contour Kit, and applied it under the contour line on my cheeks, undereye area, on my forhead, chin and bridge of my nose. 

Then I started on the eyes:

1. I took some Mac loose powder and applied it all over the lids (my eyes had some concealer on them, so I blended that, and then applied powder) 
2. Next I took an angeled brush and applied Inglot gel liner and created a wing and also lined my waterline as well. 
3. After that, I took a black matte eyeshadow and set the gel liner. 
4. I used Makeup Forever Smokey Lash Mascara on my lashes.

Lips:

1. I applied a rose nude lipliner on my lips, and filled them in as well. I think my lipliner was from Loreal (sorry I forgot). But you can use any lipliner you like for this look. 
2. Next I used my finger to blend the liner all over my lips. 

I then sprayed my Makeup Forever setting spray all over my face so everything will set and stay in place. I love that stuff! Its amazing!

I hope you liked this natural makeup look, and try it out youself! Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more!

Pur Cosmetics Starry-Eyed eyeshadow Palette Set Review and Purple Brown Smokey Eye Look!

Hey girlies! So I recently purchased a PUR Cosmetics eyeshadow Palette and I am in love with the pigmentation of the shadows! Its perfect for the winter since it has gorgeous purples shades and dark brown and silver in it. I think purple and browns look so nice in the winter. I mean is that just me? But I really like dark brown and light brown eye shadows during the winter. I feel like there is no warmth outside so mine as well apply some warm colors on your eyes and it will look nice!

**I used the Starry Eyed Eyeshadow and Mascara Palette Set.
I also used Inglot number 77 gel eyeliner &
NYX eyeshadow base.** (I do not have any mascara on in the picture.)

1. First I applied my NYX eyeshadow base all over my eye lid with my index finger. 
2. I took my Morphe blending brush and applied the shade called "icon" all over my crease. It is the lightest shade in the palette.
3. Then I applied the "mystic" and "Virtue" all over my eyelids, in the center I applied more of the "virtue" shade. 
4. In the Inner corner I applied "icon" and then I took a fluffy crease brush and applied "eternal" all over the crease. 
5. I took an angled brush and smoked out my bottom lash line with the shade "eternal"
6. I then applied my gel eyeliner with an angled liner brush 

There you have it! It is a simple soft purple and brown smokey eye look, that I really enjoyed creating! I usually wear this look when I go out these days because I am so into this palette! 

The pigmentation is amazing, the texture of the shadows is very soft and not chalky! This is my first Pur cosmetics purchase and I am glad I purchased this because now I know what to expect from PUR cosmetics! I purchased my palette in Kohls, the price was $15.00. I think that is a great deal considering that their other palettes are about $40-$30 dollar range. So I picked this baddie up and I love it! 

If you love purples then this is a great palette to add to your collection because its a cool toned palette. Though that last shade called "eternal" is a warm brown. But it is more cooler than warm. 

It didn't give me any fall out and it didn't irritate my eyes. 

The mascara also applied evenly throughout my lashes and it gave my lashes a flare. It lasted about 8 hours. The only think that made me think twice about the mascara was that it has alcohol in it, but besides that it was very pigmented and had a nice texture that wasn't to thick. 

texture: 10/10

pigmentation: 10/10

longtivity: 10/10

mascara: 9/10

Overall rating: 10/10

Thank you for reading,  hope this review helped! 

Stay tuned for more!

Soft Glam: NO Makeup, Makeup!

 Hey girls! So I thought about posting a soft glam look since this look is very chic and classy!

All you need is
1.  A light moisturizer
2. Your foundation
3. A mineral powder
4. Highlighter
5. Bronzer
6. Rose gold eyeshadow
7. Black eyeliner
8. Mascara
9. brow powder
10. Black eyeshadow
and 11. A nude lipliner and clear lipgloss


To start off for this soft glowing glam look, you should hydrate your face and make sure that your skin is moisturized, so I used my Cetaphil moisturizer all over my face.
Then I took my Mac Studio Sculpt foundation and applied it all over my face with a foundation brush.
I then applied my mineral powder from MAC all over my face to set the foundation.
Next I bronzed up my face and the hallows of my cheek for a natural contour. I used the Lorac tantalizer bronzer.
I took my makeup geek pigment in After Glow (as a highlighter) and applied it on top of my cheek bones and took it to the side of my forhead (lightly).
Now for the eyes, I primed them with the NYX base, then applied a rose gold pigment I have from Loreal. Then I took the Inglot number 77 gel eyeliner on a detail brush and smudged the liner on my lash line.
Next I took a black eyeshadow and smudged the liner so it can create a more diffused look, with no harsh line.
I did the same on the bottom lash line as well.
I then applied mascara, from Makeup forever.
To set my face I sprayed Makeup Forever setting spray all over.
I took my Loreal Dark Brown shadow and filled my brows.

Now for the lips, I filled them with Loreal lip pencil (nude pink shade) and then I applied a clear lipgloss from Essence.
I made sure I applied the liner all over my lips.

There you have it, its a simple no makeup, makeup look! This look is a beautiful classy look that will make you look flawless!

Stay tuned for more!

**BH COSMETICS CONTOUR AND BLUSH KIT REVIEW**

Hey girls, hope everyone had an amazing month and happy holidays to all.
I recently purchased some goodies from BH Cosmetics! I really like Bh Cosmetics since their powders and eye shadows are highly pigmented and they are at a great price! Usually if you purchase makeup that is about $10-$20 dollars a kit you might think it is cheap, but after trying it out and giving it a shot, you can fall in love with how it looks on you. I believe its all about quality over quantity and the techniques of how you apply your makeup. If you can use any makeup and create a flawless finish to it, then its all about the skills you have. I believe in the technique of the artist. :)

This is my first contour kit from Bh Cosmetics, I also own their highlight kit as well. I really like the pigmentation of the powders. They are soft, and a little goes a long way. It can look cakey if you apply too much since its a pressed powder. They are matte and I am going to say, there are a bit chalky. The powder had a lot of fall out when I swirled my brush in it, so I had to give it a tap. I loved the blush shades, they are not too bright which I like. There is a white shade in that palette which is meant to set concealer and highlight areas. In flash photography you should be careful for applying too much of a white powder. Make sure to apply the yellow golden shade or the peach shade under the eye area if you are going to be in any photographs. I like all the colors, the white one is very bright and can make you look like a ghost if you apply too much. So be light handed when you are using this kit.   There are two blushes in the kit, as you can see the picture they are on the bottom. I really like the colors of the blushes, they are totally my colors. I like the muted rose and the deep tan blush too.
Just make sure not to go too close to your eyes, since it can irritate your eyes and cause itchiness.

If you are into a contour and blush kits, then this one is a must! Its perfect to also practice makeup and use it for special events. Compared to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, this one's packaging is better, and the texture is also softer.
I do like ABH though too since the powders are easy to blend and has no fall out like this one, but like I said, for an affordable contour kit, this is perfect!

I purchased this as BHcosmetics.com
Price: $12

Application: 8/10
Product: 9/10
Texture: 8/10
Pigmentation: 10/10

Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more! :)
