Long time, no post! Back with a haul!

My sincerest apologies for not updating this blog at all through this year. I've been super busy graduating high school, finishing up exams, and turning in job applications. Some super exciting things have happened in my life since January and I can't wait to share it with you guys in the coming months :) 


I thought it'd be fitting to include a haul that I recently bought a few days ago as I'm getting back into the groove of posting more frequently. I won a 20 dollar gift card towards Target from my school and I decided to pick up some beauty essentials. Now onto the products -

Bright Eyes Using Wet N Wild's I Heart Matte Palette

I'm always so curious as to how Wet N Wild chooses its shade selections, so for this look I followed their instructions and only used the left side of the palette. I really liked how it turned out surprisingly, and for some reason the purple looks lighter in these photos than in person. I added some false lashes and lined my eyes in white because it reminded me of a Barbie or a Nicki Minaj type look! I also dragged the blue from the crease onto the outer half of the lash line and then combined it with the purple definer shade at the tearduct.
Products used:

• UDPP
• Wet N Wild's I <3 Matte Palette (all the shades on the left hand side)
• NYX's White Eyeliner
• Physician's Formula Purple Liner (as a base for the definer shade)
• Elf's Natural False Lashes

I wish I could rock this in public without getting any looks! Ahh... maybe on Halloween I will! I have several other more school appropriate looks coming up as well as some other colorful looks from this palette.. even if its so not fall appropriate!

FALL EYES FEAT. DUO CHROME

I'm kinda obsessed with this duo chrome shadow from the Wet n Wild "Comfort Zone" palette, it's the definer shade. I pack this on to my lid with a flat shader brush and then blend it above the crease with a blending brush. Then I take a liner brush and just go in with the definer shade once again. The camera doesn't pick up the redish tint and teal duo chrome - amazingness.

I don't own Club e/s by Mac but just by looking at swatches online I can tell that these are both pretty similar. Also a dupe for Mac's Blue Brown pigment, Urban Decay's Lounge, and Too Faced's Label Whore. Here's a closeup of the ELF Natural Lashes, so not natural but I love them! 

What do you guys think? I'm hoping to collect more duochrome shades because they're just so much fun to work with.. Do you own any or recommend any? Thanks for reading :)

Experimenting with Falsies!

Sephora palette, Elf Natural Lashes, several Rimmel shadows 

I couldn't get the corner right - yikes!

Crappy photo, but look at how long these are!

 So after I randomly bought two lashes from ELF Cosmetics, I decided to finally experiment with them. Now trust me, the eye look in itself took 5 minutes - but the lash application took like 10 minutes on one eye. :O

I do need to use Duo Lash Glue, but for now the ELF glue will just have to do. I really feel like this is appropriate for prom, homecoming, or any night out... I'm really loving blue smokey eyes!
