Today I want to share with you the make-up I just did. It has been very slow going today, I just haven't been able to get my day going fast enough but I finally took ten minutes and put some make-up together.

Just wanted to share my "face of the night" with you guys :)

I think I'm going out to have drinks with the boyfriend tonight so I wanted to look extra pretty.

It's a really subtle smokey eye with a metal taupe brown and pink. I lined my upper lash line with olive green liner and winged it out and used black liner on my lower lash line. On my lashes I used a brown mascara. Finally, I filled in my brows.

On my face, I used a BB cream all over, and some concealer under my eyes. I used Korres contouring powder in Mykonos. It has a bronzer strip, a blush strip, and an all over color strip. You can read more and see it here.

I used that pretty much all over and then used Bobbi Brown's shimmer block in Rose Gold on my cheeks.



Products used:
Eyeshadow: Sephora's 4 shadows and liner palette in "brunette eyes No. 08" = used Retro Powderpuff (pink) all over the lid and Marie in the crease along with the dark grey liner in the crease.

Eyeliner: Stila's Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Flash for the upper lash line and Urban Decay's Zero (black) for the lower lash line.

Mascara: Covergirl Natureluxe mousse mascara in brown

Brows: Sephora Rectractable Brow Pencil in No. 4 Midnight Brown

Face: Dr. Jart + Waterfuse BB Cream

Concealer: Benefit's Erase Paste in No. 2

Face Powder/Contouring: Korres Magic Light Face Contouring Powder Trio in Mykonos

Blush: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Block in Rose Gold

Friday Favorites

This week was so different from the one before. I hate when I go from one week with nothing to do, to a week that is jammed packed. I'm exhausted! So I have bunch of favorites this week, so let's just jump in!

Black Nail Polish: I don't know why but I love when I paint my nails black. Especially when my nails are a little longer, I think it looks so great.

Revlon Lip Butter in Creamiscle: This is by far one of the most perfect pink-nude colors I've ever seen. I cannot say enough good things about it. Plus it is a lip butter, and with the cold weather it is nice to have something with color that still has moisture in it.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes: I know that I have three already and I did a post on them but I cracked and bought two more haha number 30 which is Candy Coral and number 40 which is Pink Plum. I have all but 2 now...wow.

"Turn Me On" by David Guetta with Nicki Minaj: Just such a great song. Totally gets you pumped up, although the music video is a little creepy...plastic mannequins running around? No thank you :)

Netflix: Shaun bought Netflix on his Xbox and it's literally all we watch when we don't have one of our shows on. We've watched a lot of 30 Rock, Arrested Development, and Family Guy. It's awesome.

Juicy Juice in Berry: I know this is a weird one, but I've been really liking this lately! I very very rarely will ever drink something other than water, and I just needed something different. So yummy :) Plus, it makes me feel like a kid again haha

Last but not least, I have to say one of my top favorites this week was Jenna Marble's new video. It is called "Things girls don't understand about boys", and it is hysterical. It is a must watch.

And on that note, have a great weekend everyone!

Monday: Blushing

Sometime last week I had to run to the grocery store, and if you know me, then you know I made a beeline for the make-up aisle. I took a peek to see if there were any Revlon Lip Butters but alas it was a no. But I saw these and I was ecstatic! The Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes are awesome, here are some pictures and swatches.

Starting with the bright pink color, that is number 15 names Rose Petal. This is a beautiful color that will work with almost anyone. The next one is number 60 which is named Coffee Cake. I honestly think this might be my favorite. It looks more gold/orange in the picture but it is the perfect neutral blush ever. Of course, I would stick with more light/medium skin tones with this. It might not show up on darker skin tones and the really light skinned, it could just look a little dirty. The last one is number 50, Plum Wine. I adore this color, but I haven't really used it yet because it's more of a nighttime color at least for me.

I included a picture of the profiles to see that it is puffed up and that you can squish it down. Honestly, they are regular cream blushes but they dry to a powder finish which is kind of nice. The squishy-ness of the product is just fun, not really any need for it. I give these 4 stars, only because the two lighter colors you really need to pack on, and I could see the product being used much faster especially because of how soft it is.
