FOTD: Boldly In The Red

Hello lovelies,


This FOTD is simple, classy and sweet. You may know I am obsessed with bold red lipstick, it's a statement in my makeup kit. I wear red lips just about any event or occasion, but as with different tones and shades of red, I vary my shades with the type of occasion.
For work, I go with a matte blue undertone red (eg. MAC Ruby Woo), for play I go with mattes and satin as well as orange reds or yellow undertone reds (eg. MAC Lady Danger, Russian Red and/or Red). I don't own any of these MAC lipstick yet but those where a list of examples for reference reason. However Revlon makes awesome matte red lipstick such as one staple of mines: Revlon In The Red.

This post brought to you by Zenni Optical. All opinions are 100% mine.

How many of you beauties wear prescribed glasses? Well I do and I hate spending money on it too because sometimes insurance companies don't want to cover the expenses of acquiring new lens after visiting the optician. Well I for one love my contacts on a daily wear basis but they are days when I pretty much want my eyes to be free of them. 

I found this company through a fellow beauty Youtuber  over a year ago and I was thankful to her for sharing this information. It was the most helpful information ever for me. Because I never knew I could save so much money to get glasses of great quality for less than $20 compared to $450+. 

 Zenni Optical is truly an eye saver. In an issue of Time magazine it  was featured how an editor paid $1000 for a pair of glasses. Well I hoped they got diamonds encrusted on and in the frame of them because I sure am not paying that price for mines. 

I purchased my glasses for less than $20 and guess what it was zebra print too... Can we say styling your eyes for less. Yes!!

I love to spread the good word so I made it my duty to let my mom who wears glasses know about it as well as other family members. Zenni Optical has pretty much saved my pockets and with all that extra change left over from me purchasing from other companies what I can distinctly get from Zenni Optical more colors or style in glasses and not be spectacle free.

FOTD: Dusk

Hello lovelies,

Today's Face of the day (FOTD) is my final look series for now featuring the Ebay 26 eyeshadow and blush palette. I will be revisiting this palette occasionally but I want to move onto other palettes I own and have been neglecting.

When it gets to me stepping outside I feel like someone turned a water hose on me.  Hence I have tested and love the effect of Smashbox Tinted moisturizer and MAC pro-longwear concealer mixed together. This will be my foundation method of the next couple weeks/months until my the cold season arise.

FOTD: Kim K Inspired Makeup Look

Hello lovelies,

I pretty much don't do a lot of inspired looks from Kim Kardashian, but I always admire her makeup looks. She is the smokey eye queen with flare lashes. I saw makeup look on her and wanted to do my own spin on it (see picture below).

Picture taken from web

Here is my take on this look:

Products used:
FACE
Smashbox primer
New 20 concealer palette (from Ebay; under eye)
10 concealer palette (blemish concealing)
Maybelline Superstay f/d: Cocoa
Revlon mineral finishing powder: Suntan matte
Everyday minerals powder: Tan (under eye setting concealer)
ELF blush: Gotta Glow (highlight)
MAC MSF: Stereo Rose (blush)
MAC blush: Raizin (on top of Stereo Rose)




EYES
UDPP
MAC p/p: Painterly
ELF Beauty Book: Bright Eye edition:

Eyeshadow 1 (inner ⅓ & bottom inner lashline)
Eyeshadow 2 (middle ⅓)
Eyeshadow 3 (outer ⅓ & crease & outer bottom lashline)
Eyeshadow 4 (browbone)

Sally's Girl e/s: Espresso (browbone)

NYX pearl mania e/s: Walnut pearl (crease & middle bottom lashline)

Wet n Wild bronzer: Tahitian Tan (highlight)

Rimmel eyeliner: brown

Wet n Wild cream eyeliner: black

Random Ebay lashes (hate these lashes even though they were only $2 for 10 pairs)

La Charme bottom lashes #27

Covergirl Lashblast mascara


LIP
66 lip palette (bought from Ebay): 2 golden bronze colors mixed

 So I removed the bottom lashes and change my lip color to let my makeup look more toned down. I am wearing Rimmel lipsticks: Kabash & Birthday Suit on top.


Until next time lovelies........
