Makeup Look of the Day!!!!

Products used:

Face: Jordana Forever Flawless Pressed Powder, Jordana Blush Powder in Blushing Rose, and Maybelline Trio in Bronze Glitz (lightest color as highlight on cheekbones.

Eyes: Lancome eyeshadows, Positve (matte skintone color), Mochaccino (matte brown), Jordana Sultry Eyes quad, matte black eyeshadow on bottom right hand corner.

Lips: Sephora Ultra Shine Lipgloss in 20.

I drew inspiration from a youtube clip I saw of Sarah Victor. She was recreating a look that was in a Dolce and Gabana look worn on Scarlett Johansson.

NYX Collection

Me and fellow Blogspotter, burnoutdazed.blogspot.com aka Valerie, went to the beauty supply store and checked out the NYX cosmetics they have and I have pics of swatches I took of the Jumbo Pencils:

NYX display at the beauty supply store.

From left to right, Milk, Black Bean, French Fries, Hot Pink, Lime and Slate.

We just love the colors that NYX cosmetics has. They also have good dupes to MAC colors. I found a dupe for the color Haunting, a repromotion of the color is in their latest collection, the Makeup Art Collection. It originally came out with the Alexander McQueen collection. The color is called Irises, according to the NYX website it is a Matte/Shimmer. It is mostly matte like Haunting but has a few specks of shimmer in it. It actually has more color payoff than its MAC counterpart and it is a lot cheaper. Who says you can't be fabulous on a budget?

MAC's Makeup Artist Colletion

MAC has just come out with their MAC collection. I know weird, huh! But this collection is chock full of bright colors. If I had the money right now I would buy a lot of the colors that came out. This has to be best collection because this is my personality if it were a MAC collection. It has insane purples, bright colored eyeliners, gorgeous pigments, and to die for glitters. I saw a couple videos on YouTube and I am totally smitten on this collection. So if you have the money to splurge on this collection you should totally go and buy it now before the products are long gone.

Fall Trends

Fall trends for the season will be more natural looking eyebrows, going more towards tinted moisturizer rather than a heavy coverage foundation and more of a contoured look, and more earthy tones for the eyes, going for more of the browns, emerald and forest greens, and gold and bronze colors. Grey smokey eyes and kohl lined eyes will be the go to for fall. There is also an exaggeration on black and grey for eyes and nails, even to go as far as to go on your lips. Also there is inspiration from the flapper era with bold red lips, going from vibrant red shades to plum lips. There will also be a big comeback for 80's makeup styles, drawing inspiration from Cyndi Lauper and the Robert Palmer Girls from the "Addicted to Love" video. Also Hair trends are elegant updos and tousled buns, big 80's hair, punky pompadours, and mordern twists on the ponytail.

I got permission from MissChievous to embed her video on my blog. I love the look she came up with and it is totally what will be in for the Fall Makeup trends.



I would like to thank MissChievous again for allowing me to add this video to my blog.

Old Navy Haul

Today I uploaded my first You Tube video. Hopefully the first of many. I did it with a fellow blogspot member Valerie, aka burnoutdazed.blogspot.com. Check her out.

ILLAMASQUA!!!!!

I know it may be a little overkill two posts in one day but I just need to say I am super excited for Illamasqua to finally be in the states.

I was at the opening of Lauren Luke's makeup line in the new Sephora on 42nd street and 7th ave and got to be one of the first to play around with Illamasqua at the store. I totally fell in love. It's makeup for your alter ego. I tried their Intense lip gloss in Fierce just because I saw Richie (youtube.com/whatstyleistonickel) showcasing it in one of his videos. And I have to say even though it is a grape purple, I love it. I love color and wherever I can put some color I will.

For more info on Illamaqua, go to sephora.com and illamasqua.com.

A happy start

So in response to my best friend making a fashion blog, I have decided to make a makeup blog. What makes fashions stick out the makeup that goes along with it. So I have decided to make an all about makeup fashions blog that can work for anyone. I may later decide to make a youtube channel to show makeup tutorials (maybe not sure about it yet, the idea of putting myself out there in video scares me) or even just makeup ideas from the runway to real life. I am super excited to start this. Please subscribe, follow or whatever it is called on here.
