Keeping you up to date

Hello my beautiful angels,

This is just a little update of what's going on in my life. Well I will be moving this week, so I won't have time to post looks and reviews. I know I haven't posted a review in a while and I have a lot of things I wanted to review. I was thinking when I get settled in my new apartment that I would start reviewing some things. And I've been doing a little bit of shopping here and there so I will probably make a post for that. I know I haven't posted anything but makeup looks and I apologize I've been wanting to do outfit's of the day but I just keep forgetting about that. If y'all have on suggestions on what other post you would like to see let me know, and I will be happy to do them. Also I've been thinking about changing the layout of my blog or at least the background I love the colors but I just think it's time for a change. Anyways, once I'm all settled in and unpacked I will start have posts available every 3 days and if you have any request of what you would like to see just let me know and I will be happy to do them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and Happy Valentine's day!

Products used on the eyes:

• Elf Eyelid Primer
• Profusion (Peach, Taupe, and Burgundy)
• L.A Colors eyeliner  in Black 
• The ColorWorkshop Mascara

Products used for the face:

• Hard Candy Perfecting Primer
• Elf Tinted Moisturizer

• Elf Bronzing Powder
• Color Workshop Palette (Pink Blush)

Products Used for the lips:

Brushes Used:

• The Color Workshop Eyeshadow Brush
• Elf crease brush
• SOHO Blending Brush
• SOHO Liner Brush
• Elf Stippling/Blending Brush
• Color Workshop Contour brush
• Color workshop blush brush

Get The Look:

• Apply your face primer before you start to apply your eye-shadow primer that way it would have sunken into your skin and your will be ready for you to apply your foundation. 
• Apply an eyeshadow primer or if you don't have one apply a concealer and go over it with a bit of powder.
• Using an eyeshadow brush I applied a shimmer peach eyeshadow on the lid, don't go past the crease this is gonna help make it look like a cut-crease.
• Now apply a Taupe  into the crease using a crease brush. Then apply a burgundy color in the outer corner blending in the Taupe color and blending it out above the crease. Make sure not to get these colors on the lid.
• Taking a small angled or liner brush I applied some of the burgundy eyeshadow under my lower lash line.
• Blend the colors for a seamless transition.
• Now apply a highlight under the brows. The one I used was a bit lighter than my skin tone. I also applied some in the inner corner and blended into the lid color.
• Now begin to line your eyes. This look is perfect with winged out liner, and since I pretty much suck at that, I took a dark brown eyeshadow and began to map out how I want my liner to look, and then I just traced over it with black eyeliner. 
• For the waterline I applied a blue liner this step of course is completely up to you, you can use a different color or just opt for a black or white eyeliner instead.
• Apply mascara and falsies if you desire.
• Apply your face makeup. 
• Taking a contour brush and elf 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 jaw line. This of course if optional and it will make your face appear slimmer.
• Now using your blush brush begin to apply a pink blush to the apple of your cheeks. 
• For the lips I lined them with a pink lip liner, then added a peach lipstick and went over it with a pink lipgloss to make it a bright almost barbie like pink.

Milani Eyeliners

I've received two Milani eyeliners along with an eyeshadow palette that I've reviewed in the past. These two are both silver and I bought two of their shadow eyez pencils.

Milani Liqui'f Metallic Eyeliner:

This eyeliner is absolutely gorgeous. It's silver with a bit of shimmer in it but not too much to wear it's a bother. I will admit I was a bit hesitant about it since the BH Cosmetics eyeliner in silver was horrible. This product is the complete opposite, it is AMAZING! It glides on smoothly. Once you allow it to set for a few seconds it is budge proof, and living in Texas the heat is unbearable and it didn't transfer or budge at all.It's very bold and lovely. I absolutely love this pencil and will definitely pick up more of these pencils in the future. If you need a budge proof eyeliner I highly recommend this one, they come in other colors. This gets a 10/10
Swatch:

Milani Retractable Easy Liner For Eyes Shimmer:

This eyeliner is a bit different from the liqui'fied one as it is retractable and has a smudger at the end of the pencil. The color I received was silver as well. It is very similar to the liqui'fied one as it is budge proof once it sets, glides on smoothly, and bold. However, it is very shimmery but perfect to use as a highlight for the inner corner. This also comes in other colors. This eyeliner gets a 10/10.
Swatch:

Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil:

 

I picked these two up. I got Aquatic Style and Winter White. These pencils can be used as an eyeshadow, base, and eyeliner. They have a metallic finish and last for 12 hours. These pencils are creamy, however, they don't blend that well and aren't that great as a base. If you use it as a base it makes your eyeshadow look weird. The colors are very pigments, which I love, and they are budge proof and when they say they last for 12 hours they really do! They are about the size of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. I give these an 7/10.

Milani & NYX Eyeshadow Review

I've picked up a few eyeshadows in the past weeks. One is from NYX and the others are from Milani. I've never tried any of their eyeshadows so I was very excited as I've heard great things about them. Let's get started with this review!

Milani Powder Eyeshadows:

I got two of these eyshadows one is White Lie and the other is Olympian Blue. The packing is really cute it's round and is a bit similar to how Mac's eyeshadows are but bigger.First off by looking at these eyeshadows they look very pigmented! When I went to swatch them with my finger they were very pigmented and bright! They look amazing without a base but with a base the colors are super bold. They are easy to blend and a little goes a long way. I give these eyeshadows a perfect 10. The price for them are $5.99.

                Swatches: Left: over Base Right: No Base

Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows:

I receieved these eye shadows for winning a giveaway they were hosting on twitter. The one I got was Backstage Basics. This little mini palette comes with 6 eyeshadows ranging from white to black. I did not like the packaging it was a bit difficult to open and I broke my nail trying to open it. These eyeshadows have shimmer in them and look a bit chalky. However, with these you have to build up to the intensity that you want. The colors last all day with out fading, it looked like I just applied my eye makeup! They are easy to blend. I think this little palette is ideal for traveling or when you're on the go. I would definitely recommend using a base underneath as the colors will show a lot better. The price for this is $8.99.I give this little palette an 8.
Swatches: Left: over Base Right: No Base

NYX Single Eyeshadow:

I've been on the hunt for a super bright yellow. I saw that NYX had one called Mellow Yellow. I was hesitant to purchasing it just because I was afraid that it wasn't going to be what I expected. I took a chance and bought it since was on sale at Ulta. The color is very pigmented over a white base and I fell in love with it! I've never tried any of their eyeshadows before but I will definitely be purchasing more in the months to come. With the eyshadow you can build it to the intensity that you want but you don't need much. The packing is similar to Mac's but square and wider. I believe the eyeshadow is $4 and something cents, I bought it for $3.50.

8 Bit Cosmetics: Review

These Products were sent to me for reviewing purposes. I received 4 samples and 2 full size eye shadows. They are all minerals and come in amazing colors.These eye shadows are super pigmented, without a base so imagine how they will look with a base underneath! They are easy to blend which is always good. You can intensify the colors by adding more.The glitter eyeshadow, I thought was just a really shimmery eye-shadow but it's just glitter. Most of the shadows are matte, however, not all are.They are very affordable, for a sample size they are $1.00 for 0.5 grams and for a full size it's $4.00 for 2 grams. The samples come in little baggies and the full size come in a little container with a sifter. Some of the eye shadows are vegan and some aren't. On their facebook page and website they say which are and aren't. So if you're looking for vegan eye shadows these are for you.  The owner, Nicole, is amazing! She'll reply to your message within hours and is super friendly, so you'll be getting excellent customer service. Overall, these eye shadows  are amazing as well as the company! And if you don't believe me you should definitely check them out yourself and if you do tell her Tori sent you. :) I will be doing more looks using these so keep a look out for that and as always have a super amazing day!
