  • I first applied a white base just to help increase the white eyeshadow we are going to be working with.
  • So to start off with the eyeshadow I applied a white eyeshadow and you are just going to take it up to the crease.
  • I then applied a matte black eyeshadow in the outer corner you are going to wing it out and blend it half way into the crease.
  • Now you are going to apply a matte purple eyeshadow around the black and make sure to blend the colors together.
  • Now apply a highlight under the brows. I used a pale pink eyeshadow.
  • I lined my upper lid with a black gelliner, tightlined using a black eyeliner pencil.
  • Using a beauty sponge I applied my foundation. Blend it in and remember to put some on your neck and conceal any imperfections.
  • Taking a contour brush and  bronzing powder begin to contour your face, place it at the hollows of your cheek, temples, both sides of your nose (optional) and along your jawline. This of course if optional and it will make your face appear slimmer.
  • Now using your blush brush begin to apply a peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. 
  • For the lips I went with a red lip. So I lined and filled in my lips, went over it with a red lipstick and add a bit of a shimmer red lipgloss in the center.

xoxo,
Tori

Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener Review

 Hello my lovely angels today I am going to be reviewing the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener. As a gal with a medium complexion my skin is going to be face hyper-pigmentation. So it is important to include a brightening cream into my skin regime.


 Here's what Ageless Derma has to say about this Face Brightening Cream:
            
             
             Ageless Derma Face Brightening Cream is an innovative new treatment that is clinically                      proven to reduce all types of hyper-pigmentation and leave you with soft glowing skin.
            


            Whether you are concerned by freckles, age spots, brown spots, liver spots or changes in skin                pigmentation caused by pregnancy or oral contraceptives, Ageless Derma Face Brightening              Cream has been specially formulated with an all new combination of natural and bio                             engineered ingredients to lighten skin without any harmful side effects.
             

           
          Ageless Derma Face Brightening Cream contains 7 revolutionary ingredients to provide fast               gentle and effective skin lightening for your skin.

 Let me start off by saying before I started using this product I had a couple of dark spots and post acne marks. My skin wasn't that bad but not good enough to where I wanted to walk out the house without anything on my face. Thanks to this product I know feel confident to walk out the house with nothing on my face.

 I've been using this product for almost two weeks and my face looks amazing! Although it's weird before I started using it. I had broke out and after a day my face had cleared up. I'm not sure if this product clears up acne as well but I'm loving it! I can honestly say this is the best my face has looked in a while.


 I give this product a perfect 10! If you are experiencing any hyper-pigmentation and are tired of it give this a try it will definitely change your face. If you are interested check out this this product here.

Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex

Hey my beautiful angels, today I am going to be reviewing the Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex. This is definitely going to be the quickest review ever.

This moisturizer can be used for both morning and night it contains an SPF of 15. You get 30 grams of product. The cream has a yellowish color to it and is thick. I find it difficult to spread onto my face and neck due to the consistency of it. However, once it absorbs into your skin it will feel so soft. This product is super moisturizing and I can’t tell you if it helps reduce wrinkles since I do not have any.

This is not my favorite moisturizer to use simply because it makes my face super oily and I already have very oily skin. However, I do think this product is ideal for someone with dry skin or someone with a little bit of an oily face.


Overall, I give this a 5/10. I would like it if my face didn’t end up unbearably oily. However, if you are interested in checking out this product head to your local ulta or go to here and read more about it yourself. #AntiWrinkleSPF

Too Faced Beauty Editor Darlings Review

 So around March I had went to Sephora to treat myself to an early birthday gift. I originally was going to buy the Too Faced Shadow Insurance but as I was walking towards the cashier I saw the Too Faced Editors Pick set for $19. Of course it was a no brainier of what to pick. The set included mini size products of the shadow insurance, lashgasm mascra, primed & poreless face primer, lip insurance and glamour gloss volumizing lip gloss in sexpot.



The Too Faced Shadow Insurance is one of the most talked about primer besides the Urban Decay Potion Primer. It has a very thin consistency and blends out very easily. It definitely gives shadows an extra boost and makes them appear more vibrant. However, staying power wise, it was not the primer for me. I can only get about 4 hours of wear before my shadows start creasing horribly. I’m super glad I didn't by the full size.




The lashgasm Mascara is definitely my favorite in this box! All I need is one coat to achieve amazing lashes! It doesn't clump, the wand helps separate and gives lashes that little extra oomph. I don’t know what I was doing without this mascara before but definitely glad it’s now in my life.




The Primed and Poreless face primer is my second favorite in this set. If you’re looking for a primer that gives you a flawless finish and reduces the looks of pores then this primer is for you. Even though the tube is small all you need is a little bit to achieve a flawless face. It glides on smoothly. I love how it looks alone or under my makeup.



The Lip Insurance Smoothing Anti-Feathering Lip Primer is suppose to help your lipstick last and reduce the look of lines on your lips. The reason I say suppose is because it doesn't do that. My lipstick doesn't last and it just dries out my lips horribly!!!! I even tried using it after exfoliating and I still got the same results. I definitely give it a 0 out of 10. 

                                       


Finally the last product in the set is the Glamour Gloss Volumizing Lip Gloss in Sexpot. I really love the color of this gloss it's a very dark pink. When applied it has a bit of color but it's more on the sheer side. It doesn't feel sticky on the lips like other glosses do and it has a tingly sensation which feels super cool! I don't really see a difference in my lips but honestly I could care less if it plumps my lips or not I just like the color. 




Even though I didn't like all the products in the set this was a great purchase. I got to try 5 products for the cost of 1. I think every company should have a top pick set.
