Natural School or Work Look!

It will be no surprise to you all that I enjoy a dramatic eye. So I decided to switch it up and show you guys a soft work inspired look using Coastal Scents Go Palette in Beijing. 

It's always great to have  few softer looks in your pocket for when you need to tone it down a bit and look effortless. In this look I will use rather inexpensive products that you can get at any Drugstore or on CoastalScents.com 

The Go Palette is available on CoastalScents.com for $8.95 and if definitely worth the bucks. You get 12 very pigmented shade in an easily carried palette. All the shade work great together and there are a lot of choices o pick from. I have the Beijing and Moscow. In this i'm using Beijing which is earthy browns and pinks. I adore the combination of pink and brown together! 

As you can see the look is very minimal and natural. I like this look because its simple and quick but polished as well. You could easily do this with a variation of many products that you already have.

I always start my makeup by moisturizing and applying a primer. The primer of the day is Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro in 002

• First i applied my foundation all over my face. I used Revlon Colorstay in 150 Buff. This is a great base for the concealer and bronzer which I applied next. I like to dab my foundation on my chin cheeks and forehead and them blend outward with a damp sponge. I like using a sponge better than a brush because i get better control than if i use a brush. Maybe i just haven't found a brush that i love yet. 
• Once my foundation is applied i used Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Light around my eyes and my nose.  I also have whats seems to be a chicken pock mark under my left eye so i cover that as well. I love Glamoflauge! I`ve said it a million times! 
• After my Concealer a top with a light dusting of powder to set y foundation. I used Revlon ColorStay pressed powder in light. Than i applied a light dusting of NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Summer to add a bit of color.  I just left both out of the picture below by accident. 
• When doing my eyes i applied a small dab of NYX HD eyelid Primer to my lids to create a great base. This is probably my favorite primer for my lids. You get lots of product and lots of staying power for just 7 bucks! GREAT DEAL!
• I started my eye look by applying the light pink shade shown in the top row of the palette. This is the third from the left. I wish the palette had color names on them but they don't.  But the color is Called Pink Salmon. I put this all over my lid with a flat shadow brush and blend a little into the crease. 
• I than use the medium brown show in the bottom third from the left in my Crease. This shade is called Antique Chocolate Burgundy. I apply this in a back and forth motion with a small crease brush. I used my 1.00 ELF Pro crease brush. 
• Using a fluffy bare crease brush I blended out the rough edge to make it blend all the way to my brow. 
• Now it`s time for liner! I used my Maybelline Master Drama in Midnight Master which is basically black. I always sharpen this automatic liner because I wanted a fine line. I started right at the inside tear duct and worked out applying the liner as close to the lashes as I can. I also winged it out slightly.
• I applied two coats of  Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black to my lashes and my eyes are done.
• Once my eyes are done i go in with two dots of Coastal Scents Bright Eyes to brighten my under eyes. It has a great pink salmon tone that just brightens up the eyes.  
• As for lips I lined and filled in the sides of my lips with Wet N Wild Burgundy Wine. I leave a small opening in the middle of my lips to give them some dimension. Than topped with Rimmel Stay Glossy in NON Stop Glamour. 

PHEWF! That took forever to write out! I think I may go into detail to much!! :)

I really like the look. It looks easy, Soft and Feminine. 

Here are some closer looks!

(Excuse my brows! Im growing them out for the winter to get them shaped again! )

Thanks for tuning in and I hope you like this look and try it out!

E.L.F & Wet N' Wild Haul!

I got a bunch of new things yesterday and I decided that I would share them with you. This haul is all about ELF and Wet N Wild. 

I love ELF and I love Wet N' Wild. They are both great quality for such a low price. Heres a closer lookat what I got!

ELF 24K 15 Piece Eyeshadow Collection - 14.00

Elf had a special for 50% of their 24K line. I picked up this 15 piece collection along with the 100 piece pictured below it.  This collection comes with 15 eye shadows that vary enough that you could make multiple different looks with it. It also comes with a built in mirror and two double ended applicators.

The palette is set out in such a way that its almost like two 6 piece collections and a three piece. \The six on the far left are pinks and purples that can totally work together. The middle six are greens and blues that also work great together. Than you have your white, gray and black that you can use to heighten or darken our look.

For 14.00 bucks this is a great selection of colors all packages in a super cute clutch.

ELF 24K 100 Eyeshadow Collection - 24.00

I love the versatility of the collection. While I have a few other ELF palettes this one comes with so many bright fun colors. I'm not afraid of a bold eye at all so I love finding a collection that gives me so many Options!

I swatched a few of these for you to see! In this picture I did a pink and a green as well as the Grays pictured on the palette below my arm.

24.00 bucks for this palette is awesome. I cant see you every needing to re-purchase it because there are so many options. The quality is great and it's super cute with the gold trim!

The 24k line is an online exclusive and is only around for a limited time.

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eye Kit - Sugar Plum Fairy

I have been looking for these forever and I found this one recently. This was the only one I could find. But I love the purples so I was happy about that. I used this today and I love the look. I used the Right side which seemed a bit softer with the base being a bit pinker than the start white. I was going for a soft smokey look so the dark purple worked great.

All the colors swatch really nice. it doesn't take a lot of effort to get a lot of color so they are great for blending. The lightest color which is on the right side of the liner on my arm doesn't show well in this pic but it is quite ice. It just happens to be my skin tone.

This palette is about 6 bucks in Canada and the come with 6 shades to applicators and a liner.
Worth it? Heck yeah!

Wet N Wild Trio - Im Getting Sunburned

I adore this trio and every time I went to pick it u they were all out. I finally found it and it swatched beautifully, Just like I knew it would.

All three colors work so pretty with each other that you could easily switch it u a bit and not use them for their intended use. You could use the crease shade as a line and do a pink and gold eye or put the gold all over the eye with the dark crease shade and put the pink on the lower eye lashes as a brightener.

I love this set but i also love the next set...

Wet N Wild Trio - Walking on Eggshells

This is the perfect natural, no fuss, no muss palette that you can plop in your bag and take out when you realize a cute boy is walking by and you need a pick me up. Its super easy to blend like all of WNW's eye shadows but these three colors are seamless. They are my go to no think set when I wanna wear makeup but I dont wanna spend 15 minutes blending multiples shades together. 

This is by far the most Practical no brainer set you could ever get and at about 4.00 Canadian who can complain? I definitely dont!

That's my haul for today! What pretty things did you get today?
