Benefit Speed Brow Review and Pictures.

Hey guys! I'm here today to review Benefit Speed Brow in the neutral shade. I think there's one more shade that is a little lighter, but I'm not sure. This a a tinted brow gel, used to keep your brow hairs down and in place. The applicator is a large spoolie that you brush through your brows after you filled them in. I don't think this provides any extra color to my brows, I tried to swatch it when I first got it and it was so thin and almost transparent. When I blended it on my hand the color washed away, so if you want a brow product that provides extra color, I would look into Gimme Brow by Benefit. I do like this product though, for keeping my brow hairs glued down. The don't move all day and the color doesn't fade either. Since it doesn't provide extra color, it keeps the brows looking very natural, depending on how you fill your brows in. I do think this product is said to be used as the only product to use on your brows if your'e on the go, and I do think that it's great to use when you're in a hurry, but your brows do not look filled it. At least my don't, but I have very think dark brows. By the end of the day, I can run my finger across my brow and still feel the product there, even through the humid, hot, Alabama heat. I really like this product, but I'm not head over heels for it. If you would like to try it for yourself, you can for $18 here.

Maybelline Baby Skin Review

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review and before and after of Maybelline's Baby Skin. This clear gel product is a 'pore eraser', It is meant to reduce the look of fine lines and pores. I have enormous pores on my nose so I was so excited to try this product. This goes on the skin very smoothly and after rubbing this in, you can't feel it on this skin which is good because sometimes you can feel products sitting on top of your skin and not soaking in. As for pore reducing, I didn't notice a huge change. They were smaller but you could still see them. So let's jump on in to the pictures!

Urban Decay Naked3 Rosy Neutral Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today with a rosy neutral eyeshadow tutorial using the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. A.k.a - Best palette ever created. Let's get started.

First prime your eye. I used Sin from Urban Decay.



Then I added Buzz all over the lid.


And then blended Mugshot in the crease and Darkside in the outer corner. Blend blend blend.



Next I added Strange to my brow bone and in the inner corners to highlight and brighten everything up. And then I mixed Darkside and Mugshot and added them to the bottom lashline keeping very close to the lashes.


To finish I used a black gel liner on my upper lash line, a black pencil liner in my waterline, and added mascara. On my lips I'm wearing Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm in Pink Blossom.

Products I've Hit Pan On

Hey guys! I'm here today to show you what products I've hit pan on. Let's jump right in!

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer 
This was in the Boi-ing and Lemonade duo at Ulta, and I immediately fell in love with this concealer. What's left in the pan is dry :(


Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
I loveeee this powder. It cracked and shattered into a million pieces so I pressed it and then hit pan on it again. Which is awesome. I need to buy a new one.


Maybelline Gel Liner
This is an awesome gel liner for the price but I bought a Tarte liner and it is so much better.


NARS Powder Foundation
This foundation has amazing coverage and is worth the price. It came with a sponge to apply it with, which I used into oblivion, so now I use a dense powder brush from Bare Minerals. I like the sponge better.


Neutrogena Natural Radiance Bronzer
I love this bronzer. It has the perfect amount of shimmer to warm up my face. It is a bit too light to contour with though.


C. O. Bigelow Rose Salve
I'm not sure if this really counts but I'm adding it anyway.It's okay. I don't love products that you stick your finger in.


Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette
I freaking love this thing. It matches me perfectly. I need to get another one soon.


Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
This is my second one and I need to purchase a third! It is perfect to contour my pale face and smells like hot chocolate. I can't ask for more.

\\
Too Faced Natural Eye Palette
Ahh, what fond memories. This was my second eyeshadow palette. Ever. It's not old, I promise haha. But seriously, why can't Too Faced sell single eyeshadows??

Autumn Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today with a autumn/fall tutorial. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love all the makeup looks that come with it! So here is my everyday autumn makeup :) Products will be listed below. Let's get started!

First prime your eyelid with a primer. Then cover your lid with a cream or pencil liner that is a light gold color. I used an eye pencil.



Then put a gold eyeshadow all over your lid.


Then add a matte orange to the outer 3rd and then blend a dark purple in the crease.



Next add the dark purple on the lower part of your lashes and only to the outer corner to the middle and at the middle blend the light gold to the inner corner. Finally add a matte cream color as your highlight on your brow bone.


After you add gel liner to the top lash line, black pencil liner to the water line, and mascara you're done!

How to Apply Winged Eyeliner - The Basics

Hey guys! I'm starting a new series called the basics. It will be all the basic things you need to know about makeup and how to apply it. I will make a master post that has all of the links to all of the tutorials when I have a few. There are many different ways to apply eyeliner but this is the way I do it most of the time. You can use different products also. I'm using a pen style eyeliner but you can use pencil, gel, liquid, etc... So let's get started!

First start with a clean eye and prime it with eyeshadow primer.


You can use any eyeshadow color you want but today I used a color that is close to my skin tone just to even out the eyelid. Then I used a light warm brown to define the crease.



Now I take my eyeliner and make a small thin line going towards the end of my brow. It makes sense in the picture.


Then I lightly drag the eyeliner towards my lashes make a small triangle.


And I fill it in.


Then I add mascara and I'm done!
