Gifts

Not everything I got is posted but I figured that some people would like to see this post since I know I love looking at all of yours. :) I had a very busy but amazing Christmas, I even made a duck dinner for my boyfriend and I.
I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and feel free to link your holiday posts in the comments so I can see them if I haven't already. I'll be doing separate posts on the cosmetics that I received and I'll probably be returning the Smashbox pallet since the quality doesn't match the price tag... but I will get something to replace it! Anyways, here it is. :)

Physician's Formula Custom Eye-Enhancing Gel Liner

I'm pretty sure this came out a long time ago, and don't worry you can still buy it i'm just late on finding it. This is my first gel liner, and definitely a good one to start with! It's not perfect, but it stays on very good considering I wore it while in a hot tub and it didn't run or smudge! I'm really loving the 3 colors it comes with so i can really play around and get use to it, even though it's really easy to use. I'm thinking I'll be sticking to gel liners for a while. :) You can buy it in Blue eyes, Green eyes, Hazel eyes, and Brown eyes, I have it in Blue eyes because i liked the colors better haha.

Makeup look with new false lashes!


I probably won't be doing a lot of makeup looks in the future but i figured I'd show you one of the new lashes i got. Hope you enjoy! :) And also you don't have to use any of these products i did! Anything you have can easily replace what I'm using. Forgive my "talent" on not being able to explain things very well!! D:


Products used:

  • Foundation - Revlon colorStay
  • Concealer - Benefit boi-ing
  • Powder - Marcelle face powder in translucent
  • Blush - NYX eyeshadow in Cherry
  • Brow pencil - Covergirl brow & eye makers in Soft brown
  • Eyeshadows - Sephora mono eyeshadows in aspen summit & Coastal Scents hot pots in #S37 (i think..)
  • Eyelash glue - Duo in dark tone
  • Eyelashes - no name eyelashes from ebay
  • Eyeliner - NYC liquid eyeliner in Pearlized black
  • Mascara - MAC opulash in bad. bad black
  • Brushes - Eco tools angled brush and blush brush & MAC 217 blending brush


This look was so easy, i don't even really need to explain it! First off I did my foundation, concealer, and powder just like you would do normally (if you usually wear that stuff that is! if not don't worry) then i lightly added some hot pink blush (or in this case eyeshadow haha) Then i filled in my eyebrows lightly and extended them outwards just a bit.


For the eyes I put a light wash of the white and pink eyeshadow all over my lid. Then I glued on the lashes and took my liquid liner and lined my upper lid just enough to connect the false lash line to the eyeliner line. (hopefully that makes sense..) Oh and i also applied tiny lower lashes, but that's optional, i just used the pieces i cut off my other false lashes. Afterwards i lined my waterline with a white pencil (not shown sorry!) and put a light coat of mascara on my lower lashes only! I didn't curl my eyelashes in the end since they blended in nicely with the fake ones, but you might need to. And last but not least i did a light red lip stain by just tapping the lipstick on my lips and blending it with my finger.

Winter

I'll be honest, I don't enjoy Winter a whole lot. It is a beautiful season, very relaxing, but unless I'm going to stay inside for 4 long months, its beauty wont outweigh the cold and blizzards. I get snowed in a lot. So I do my best to admire this season from the indoors, where I find its a lot more friendly.
Lets enjoy it in picture form for now.

I hate this camera so much,

I have a goal to save up for a Nikon D3000. Hopefully soon, and then I can start taking millions of pictures for you guys. :P
