Quo On the Go Palette Tutorial (All Drugstore)

At Shoppers Drug Mar the carry a brand called Quo. Right now they have the cutest make u kits and Palettes out for the holidays I picked to the On The Go Palette and decided to do an All Drugstore Makeup look with it. The Palette is quite pretty. Its a little shimmery but it has a few very nice browns in it. This palette has three eye shadows, 1 blush,and 3 lipsticks. It also come with a mirror and two little brushes to apply it all. 

This palette cost me 15.00 at shoppers and i think its worth it. 

In this look I used all drugstore products. At the end of this post there will be a list of everything I used. The only thing I used that wasn't drugstore was the brushes which I bought from ELF at eyeslipsface.com 

Here is my Base Face in which I already applied my Foundation, Concealer, Powder and Bronzer. You can see that I Conoured my cheeks a little with the NYC Sunny Bronzer. I don't have the most prominent Cheek bones so i find doing this brings them out a little. Not the most attractive picture :)  but you get the point! Keep checking back for a  post on how to contour your face!

The three eye shadows are a shimmery off white color that is great for a highlight and a base shade. The middle shade is a medium shimmery brown that is very warm. The third is a darker brown that is also shimmery. I used the light as a base, the medium o the middle and outer of my lid and the darker in my crease and as an outer V. 

I lined my upper lid with a brown liner in a very thin line. I also think you could wing the liner out and it would look really nice. I didn't do this. I lined the outer side of my bottom lashes and smudged it with my finger. I topped it with two coats of mascara and i was done with the eyes. 

I applied the blush on the apple of my cheeks and worked towards my temples. I like this blush. Its very soft and complementary for my pale skin.

The lipsticks are just OK to me. There is a light peachy nude color that I used in this look over the nude lip pencil. The middle color is very metallic and I cant find a reason why I would wear it on its own. I may use it under a lip gloss to counter act the shininess. The darker color is quite nice and i can myself using it with a very simple eye. I don't normally wear dark browns but i'm trying to try new looks. 

 I like this look. Its warm and appealing and i think it make my brown eyes pop. 

 I also tried the look with my hair down and a little wavy and my bangs pinned back. I think both looks are nice but i think i like it up better. 

I took a few pics up close so you could see the eyes better.

I look like i have a giant nose in this hahahaha

As you can see these colors blend really well. And the colors are really nice. The only down fall i think is the metallic lipstick in the top middle. I personally wont use it. It's too bold for me. 15.00 bucks for this palette in a good deal. The quality is quite nice and ive been wearing it for 6 1/2 hours and its still going strong. So longevity is good also. I think ill use this palette enough to warrant the 15.00 price. I's a great alternative to higher end palettes. 

Let me know what you think of this look and if you've tried this Palette.

Sample Love...

I love Sample sized products. Its a great way to try out a high end product without spending a fortune on something that might not even work for you. 

I have this huge obsession of buying beauty samples online from places like eBay and trying out the product. So here is my little Sample pot that i received in the mail over the last few days. There are products from some great high end Makeup lines. 

1. Lancome Hypnose Mascara - Black
2. Sephora Atomic Volume  - Black
3. Lancome Juicy Tues Ultra Shiny lip Gloss - Simmer
4. Tarte Provacateur Pressed Mineral Powder - Light 04
5. Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow - Daylight, Color Du Jour, Gaze, Lezard

Here's My Break Down:

1. Lancome Hypnose Mascara - I like the brush of this Mascara. Its packed with bristles and looks to me that it will fan out the lashes well. I have only used the product once so after a few days i will post a Product review. 

2. Sephora Atomic Volume - Ive been using this for 5 or 6 days now and i must say i really like the product. I don't find that it add much volume but it does work really well with the length of my lashes. The formula isn't too think/dry and it isn't too wet either. I Find it quite easy to build on two coats without it it getting too clumpy. The only problem i have with it ( other than it being volumizing and it adding no volume to my lashes) is that i find it kinda flaky at the night end. i like a mascara that i can wipe my eye when i get sleepy and not have to worry about getting bit an pieces of mascara in it.   

3. Lancome Juicy Tubes in Simmer - 

I used it today and i kinda like it. It is a little bit sticky but not to the point where you don't want to wear it. Its a light pearly pink color that's almost like a nude but a tiny bit pinker. I think it ill be a great gloss to cover a more brighter shade of lipstick or to top a nude lip stain. While the gloss is great and feels great on your lips. I don't know if i would pay 18.00 bucks for a tube of lip gloss that i could probably get a dupe for from ELF or a drugstore brand. But all in all quite a nice product. 

4. Tarte Provacateur Pressed Mineral Powder - Light 04

I love this Stuff! this is a great powder to wear on its own for a light-medium coverage day whee you don't feel like putting on your full makeup routine or use it top your foundation and concealer to set the whole look. 

this goes on so smooth you would swear that its actually making your skin softer. Its easy to blend and apply and well wort the money to buy the full sized Product. 

You can pick it up at Sephora.com

5. Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow - I haven't used these yet but the did swatch quite nicely. They are a more softer eye shadow instead of the more pigmented ones you can get. i envision a very soft sweet eye o a more blended out smokey eye using the darker brown in the bottom left with the lighter shades. Is it worth it? While the quality of the product is great. its super soft and blends easy. i would like something more pigmented. I like having the option of wearing something softly or making it more dramatic. Especially for around $42.00 bucks. for that price i could buy 6 wet & wild palettes.

Well, that's the Ins and Outs of it. Some Products are great and others are Ok. If I had unlimited cash i would probably pick up the full sizes of each but I''m a mom. My money goes to Toy Story toys and bubble gum. When I'm going to spend my hard earned cash on stuff for myself, I want to be sure that the product will do some good and be in my collection in a position to be used.
