Garner Clean + Makeup Removing Lotion

  Hello Ladies!

  First off, thank you to everyone who's stuck around for this long. I apologize for not posting more frequently. I have a fashion that I post to as well, and sometimes I just don't take the time for beauty pictures. 

  I'm back today, however, with a review for a product I really love! I've been trying in vain for a really long time now to find a good eye make up remover. Everything I tried either dried my eyes out, irritated them, or didn't really remove the makeup.

Bold Smoky Eye For New Years

  Hello Ladies! 

  It's that time of year again. Time to celebrate old memories and welcome new ones. Time to make all those resolutions that will probably be broken in a few weeks. Time to start all over again. 

  New years are exciting and scary at the same time. They mean we get to start over, but we also have to let go of the past and move forward. This year, I'm hoping for big things. I'm not going to make resolutions or promises. I'm simply going to pursue the things I'm wanting to do and enjoy my life. Time is so quick and life is so short, that every moment is precious. 

  I hope all of you have wonderful new years ahead of you for 2015. 

  And, if you're going out, here is a bold, fresh look for your face. After all, this is New Years and everything starts over fresh and new. I wanted to try something I've never done before, so I started with a bold smoky eye and then doubled lined it with black and emerald green liquid liner. I left the rest of my face very natural and fresh looking, with a little contouring and highlighting on my cheeks. Let me know what you think. 

  Happy New Year!

I'm Back From The Dead! ( Not Literally )

  Hello! I'm back! Sorry for the crazy long absence. I did not die, I just got so busy. 

  I'm here today with a holiday look that I think you will love. When I think of Christmas makeup, I think sparkles and red. 

  This look is pretty basic. All you need is red lipstick, black eyeliner, and gold eyeshadow.

Nude Makeup Tutorial

 Hello Ladies!

  Even though it's not summer any more, I really wanted to do a nude makeup tutorial ( yeah, that's really awkward to type ). I've been seeing a lot of tutorials on Pinterest and since nude lips are in for the fall, I think I can pull off a nude face.

Beauty Review Post #14 - Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow Dou

  Hello Ladies! 

  Time's sure fun when you're having flies. Or something like that. Anyway. 

  Next week is VACATION TIME! Wooooohoooo! I can't wait. It's going to be four blissful days of doing nothing but enjoying the beach. But don't fret! I will be posting from my beach getaway. This is my second time going with my family. Last year, we didn't really know what to expect, so we were a little unprepared. This year, however, we will be completely equipped and ready to enjoy a lovely time at the beach. 

  Enough about that. 

  Today's review is on Maybelline's ExpertWear Eye Shadow Dou in Sunkissed Olive. I usually use a very neutral shade on my eyes to avoid the raccoon look, so I haven't tried the olive green part of the dou. However, for a drugstore eye shadow, this one isn't half bad. 

  Pros:

  1. It is nicely pigmented

  2. It lasts

  3. It's not itchy to the eyes

  4. It's very affordably priced

  Cons:

  1. It crumbles when you are applying it

  2. It can leave sparkles under your eyes that make your eyes look shiny

  I don't really expect a lot out of cheaper eye shadows. They aren't as finely ground, so they don't go on as smoothly. But, thats alright with me. What is your favorite eye shadow? Do you buy drugstore or do you splurge?

Makeup Wish List + Surprise

1. Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Face Makeup // 2. Nars Lip Liner Pencil // 3. Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit // 4. Cor Balmy Lip Balm // 5. Mally Evercolor Waterproof Cream Shadow

Hello Ladies!

  How has everyone been? I've been wanting to write a blogpost wish list for sometime now, but I didn't know how to put together product collages. Well, I finally figured it out and could not be more excited. You may be seeing a lot of these in the future. Just sayin.

  Now on to the list.

  1. Finishing Powder

  Finishing powder is a must for me in the summer. My makeup just melts off if I don't set it. I'm thinking of trying Revlon's PhotoReady Translucent Finisher.

  2. Red Lip Liner

  I've been needing to buy one of these for a really long time now. Lipstick just won't stay without without something to corral it in. It also helps with making the lips looked defined.

  3. Brow Styling Kit
  
  I actually just bought a kit by Salon Perfect. I'm not sure how it will turn out, but I'm going to post a review and brow tutorial on the blog in a few weeks.

  4. Tinted Lip Balm

  I'm a huge fan of not wearing a lot of makeup in the summer. If I'm not doing a photo shoot, I generally wear very neutral colors on my face. Tinted lip balm is so practical, for it gives you some color and moistures your lips at the same time.

  5. Cream Eye Shadow

  In the summer, wearing eyeshadow can be a big pain. I mean, as some as you walk outside, the humidity creates the shadow on your lid and all your work on that smoky eye is down the drain. Cream shadows really work mush better in the summer, staying put much longer than power ones.

  What are you wishing for to expand your makeup line?

  Now for the surprise!

  Because all of you are such wonderful readers, I have decided to host a giveaway very soon to thank you for all the support and encouragement you have given me. Be looking out for one coming very soon! Not to give away any details, but included in the prizes will be a way to buy some of your favorite products from one place. Keep checking back!

Beauty Review Post #9 - L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lengthening Mascara

  Hello Ladies! How is everyone? 

  Well, it finally happened. I found a product I didn't like. Yes, there is no salvation for this one. It's just plain awful. Now, before I start talking about the product, I just want to say that I'm not bashing L'Oreal in any way. I've tried loads of their products and this is the first one I didn't like. So, don't write L'Oreal off your list of good make up products. They have lots of others that work really well. 

  The product today is L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lengthening Mascara. I was really excited about this product when I saw, thinking that it would be amazing. I was very disappointed. First, the base coat is very thick and sticky and I don't think it fully dried even after wearing it all day. Then, the top coat is very thin, so it doesn't cover the base coat very well, leaving white showing through the black. Lastly, it doesn't hold curl at all. 

  Pros:

  1. Doesn't crumble: just stays soft

  Cons:

  1. Base coat is too thick and sticky

  2. Top coat is thin and doesn't last

  3. Lashes won't curl

  4. Some of my lashes fell out

  5. Was hard to remove without scrubbing my eyes

  6. Didn't really define my lashes like I wanted

  All in all, I did not like this product and will not be trying it again. I'm not really sure what to do with it. I guess I could try to take it back. Oh well. How about you? Have you ever tried a product you did not like?

Beauty Review Post #8 - BareMinerals 5 In 1 BB Cream Eyeshadow

  Hello Ladies! How was everyone's week? 

  I belong to the BareMinerals rewards program and recently they were giving out samples of their new bb cream eye shadow. BareMineral's 5 In 1 BB Cream Eyeshadow is probably one of the best cream shadows I've ever used. 

  Pros:

  1. It goes on smoothly

  2. Doesn't dry out skin

  3. Can be used as a base

  4. Lasts all day

  5. Comes in several pretty shades

  6. Is very affordable

  Cons:

  1. Has to be smoothed in

  The pros outweigh the cons for this shadow and I will be buying it in a larger size when my sample runs out. 

  Have you tried any new shadows lately? Tell me in the comments about them.

Beauty Review Post #7 - Revlon's Extra Curl Eyelash Curler

  Hello Ladies! Another week of camp down. I loved being able to sleep in today. But, on to the review. 

  Today, I'm reviewing Revlon's Extra Curl Eyelash Curler. I've been using a really cheap curler for a long time now, but with getting pink eye, out it had to go. So, I started looking for another one. The one I had never really worked that great, so I wanted to try something a little better. Revlon products have always served me well in the past, so I decided to try one of theirs. 

  I wasn't disappointed! It works really well and is extremely affordable. 

  Pros:

  1. Easy grip

  2. Doesn't pull lashes

  3. Curls and keeps curl

  4. It's only about $5 dollars at most stores

  Cons: 

  So far, there haven't been any! 

  So, if you're looking for a nice, inexpensive lash curler, this is definitely one you should try. Let me know if you. I like to hear what other people have to say. 

  *I was not compensated for this post.*
