5 minute makeup!

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show you how to do your makeup in less than 5 minutes! We all have those mornings when we can't seem to get out of bed, and the next thing your running late for school/work! Lets get started! 

Foundation: skip liquid foundation, it takes way to long! Go with a powder foundation that you can easily swipe on and it is fool proof. (Benefit hello flawless powder foundation, it comes with a mirror, brush & sponge so it is good for on the go!)

Cheeks: this step isn't necessary, but I reccomend using a cream/stain blush. It will stay all day and brighten up your face instantly. Just swipe some on the apples of your cheeks and bleand out. (Ulta extreme wear cheek stain, in the color "tickled". 

Mascara: this step is necessary (I feel) because mascara really opens up your eyes and makes you look less tried. Apply a coat of mascara on your top and bottom lashes. (L'Oreal lash out butterfly mascara)

Eyeshadow: I say skip it! But if you want your eyes to look brighter, use your finger to apply some white/shimmery eyeshadow in your inner corners of your eye. It brightens every thing up a lot, and it only takes 10 seconds! (Elf body shimmer)

Brows: this step isn't a must, but brows really do frame the face and full everything together. (Em Michelle Phan long wear brow pencil.)
 
Lips: skip the fussy gloss and lipstick. Go for a tinted lip balm that is easy to apply. It is a lipstick and Chapstick in one! (Maybelline baby lips. Color: "cherry me")

I hope you all found this post helpful!

Trying Something New

Today I am going to talk about an online brand which would be BH Cosmetics, they have great sales! I recently ordered from them and got three things! 
- Galaxy Chic Backed Eyeshadow Palette 
- Eyes On the 60s Palette 
-Daisy Blush Duo 

I want to talk about the Eyes on the 60s palette! If you are someone who likes color, this pallet is for you! It has 30 bright vibrant colors. Do not be scared by the color because the color is not that pigmented! The colors can be as light/dark as you wan them to be.  If you are a makeup artist, this pallet will give you/your clients multiply looks at one stop!
 
The colors are a lot more pigmented on hand, but when you translate them to your eye they blend in really nicely where you can still see the color but it is not that intense! And, as I said earlier, the colors are build-able!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Overview!

Hey everyone! We all hope you are having a fabulous day! Today I wanted to give you an overview on the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!

- This palette unlike the other two have rose-hued neutrals (some people think this palette contains pink, but it does not, it has neutrals with rose undertones.)

- All of the shades in this palette a new and exclusive shades, which means Urban Decay has never released these color in any form before. This also means that they most likely not be featured in any other palette or in individual single shadows.

-This palette is $52, which is pricey for an eyeshadow palette, but I truly think it is worth it!


Here is the packaging of the palette. It is that study metal paging that is featured in the Naked 2 palette as well. But the packaging design is really cool. It looks kind of wrinkly or bumpy. The letters are in a gold color, while the packaging is a sort of brownish camel color.


Here is what the palette looks like on the inside. It has the 12 shades in a row, with a place for the double ended eyeshadow brush. This palette also comes with a large mirror that stretches all the way across the palette.


Here is what the double ended brush looks like. It is described as a crease and shadow brush.


This is the crease side of the brush.

This is the flat shadow side of the brush.


Left to Right: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside,
                      Blackheart



Pros and Cons:

Pros:
- Twelve beautiful rose-hued shades
- Protective packaging
- A large mirror
- Great quality double ended brush
- Very unique color (think out of the box)
- Included comes samples of all the eyeshadow primer potions
- Many different formulas (Matte, Pearls, Metallics, etc.)
- All shadows have great quality (think buttery)

Cons:
For me there are no cons, but if you travel a lot...
- Bulky Packaging

Places to Buy Online:

Urban Decay's website

Sephora

Ulta

I also got the COVERGIRL tru magic skin perfector in the shade 100. It is a clear gel/cream that acts like a setting powder. I'm very excited to see how this works! It was around $10.
Next, I picked up the elf Jumbo lip gloss stick in the color movie star. It was around $2. You can never go wrong getting a classic red lipstick!
