Eyecandys lens

A couple of months ago I purchased two circle lens from eyecandys.com. The first one i purchased is the GEO HoliCat Barbie Cat Hazel priced at $24.38. It is a hazel colored lens, alone it looks yellow but when placed on dark eyes it does lighten the eyes quite a bit. The other color I purchased is the GEO Color Nine Aqua colored lens priced at $24.39. It is suppose to be bright aqua (blue with green) lens and is very vibrant.

Holographic Lit Kit in Rich & Famous

 

Holographic Lit Kit

Lit Kit in Rich & Famous in size #2

Retail Price: 19.95

 I, like most women love glitter. The problem that I run into with when using glitter are all those fall outs landing on my cheekbones and at random places on my face. When I first heard of Lit glitter I did a lot of research on it to see if it is worth the 19.95. After extensive research on how this product works I purchased a set from Sephora. I was a bit disappointed that they did not have an array of colors for customers to chose from in stores. On Lit's official website there are a lot of choices you can chose from and I'm sure in the future if successful at Sephora stores they will order more colors for people to purchase. The store only carried three colors at the time, Superfly which is described as a dark silver, disco diva which is an electric blue based purple and rich and famous which is noted as a brilliant copper. I decided to go with something that would suit most people which was Rich & Famous. At Sephora they only sell the kit which includes one loose color, one 4ml bottle of the Clearly Liquid glitter base and lastly a brush. They claim that there is a three step application process: 1. dip the brush into the clearly liquid glitter base, 2. on an angle, insert wet brush into color covering one side of brush and 3. paint on or fan out starting at the tip of the brush using short fast strokes for proper coverage. Re-dip to cover area or change colors. After following instructions it does stay on your eyes and there aren't any fall outs because of the liquid. The only problem I run into is that I have to put eyeshadow underneath before adding the glitter because if I applied the glitter first there is no way to blend any eyeshadow on the crease where the glitter is at because it would move the glitter/make it fallout. This set is a fun set to spice up your makeup bag for occasions where you want to glam up your eyes. You can apply it like I did on the lid or I think using it as a liner would look nice as well.

testing out urban decay electric pallete

  I purchased the Urban Decay Electric palette since last week and since then have been playing with it a lot! I love the pigmentation and the colors are great. I usually never wear color but I gave this palette a shot since the bf gifted this to me. I will do a in depth review on it later but for now here are some looks I whipped up using this palette.

 

Look #2 ( I have a huge zit and is lazy to edit it out)

Also, the lashes in the bottom look are ones that I made, I glued on some heart cut outs and placed them on the ends. 

Lime Crime and Kryolan

Sadly, I couldn't attend IMATS in L.A. but my sister kindly purchased some things for me that I requested. I didn't want to spend too much so I asked her to purchase three items for me which are two Lime crime lipsticks in Geradium and Babette and Kryolan's hd skin liner in number 10. 

 

I am surprised that not many people know or even use Kryolan. I purchased this skinliner in #10 black and I am satisfied with it so far. This eyeliner is perfect for winged or cat eyes. After applying this it won't budge and really does stay on your skin. I used makeup remover afterwards and it still left a stain from the eyeliner. The regular price is 10$ and is well worth the price, I am looking forward to purchase more items from Kryolan. 

 

 This is in the shade Babette by Lime Crime. It is a pretty pale pink and lately I've been loving pale shades on my lips.

  

This is Geradium by Lime Crime, it is a bright baby pink.

Above are the swatches tested on my arm. 

 Excuse my hair, I was trying something new. Anyways the above pictures are from the lime crime shade babette.

Above I am using the shade Geradium from Lime crime.

Contouring

Hello!

This will be a contouring tutorial on how I do it. There are many different ways you can contour your face. What contouring does is make your face looks slimmer. The way to make your face appear slimmer is by putting highlighter/lighter color on the places the light natural hits and put bronzer/darker colors on the places where the lights doesn't hit creating an illusion. I have yet to test out other contouring products. I am very interested in the Anastasia Beverly hills contouring kit since it has all bronzers and highlighters conveniently in one palette already, but for now the products that I have will do fine.

 

Here are the products that I use:

The above products are what I use for bronzing. The first product is by beneft in hoola. It is a wonderful bronzer because its matte and fits my skin well without too much reds in it. The second product is the maybelline fitme foundation stick in toffee caramel. I know this is a foundation but I  use this to contour my face because it is the perfect color and comes off very natural after blending it. What I do is use these two products together. First I will use the fitme foundation then blend it out after blending I will use the hoola bronzer over it.

 The above products are what I use to highlight, not on a daily basis though. The first product is a concealer by sheer cover in light/medium. It has two concealers and the one I use for contouring is the light one. The second product in the picture is the benefit watts up highlighter. I do not use this product often only on special occasions when I want that extra umph! The third product is the Anastasia Beverley hills eye lights matte in Camille. I only use this products under my eye brows to make my eyebrows appear cleaner. 

The picture below is a guideline on where I would place the lighter concealer/highlighter on:

Below this is how I place the bronzer/dark foundations at:
