FOTD: U D Loaded Uzi Chic?

Hello lovelies,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Today's FOTD is the last of my Urban Decay Bk of Shadows III: NYC look series. I enjoyed using the every color on the palette to show the versatility and different looks that we can get from it. The title for today's FOTD is a bit scary and bold, well so is this dramatic makeup look. Btw no I am not a loaded uzi chic, I am a good girl who enjoy makeup and every other girly things.

Product of the Week!

Hello lovelies,


Happy Weekend!! My product of the week features another drugstore affordable product from the N.Y.C. brand. It's the Sun 2 Sun bronzer in Bronze Mist. I have owned this bronzer for a while and used it a couple times before for contour and highlight but never used it all over my face. Well I have fallen in love with it as a all over face product, it is not at all full of glitters or overdoes with shimmer but it gives the skin a tan beautiful bronzy look. The lighter color I do use for highlight and it definitely gives my cheekbones that radiant sun-kissed glow. This bronzer can be used on any skin tones for fair complexions the dark side can be used to contour and for darker complexions you can used it for finishing powder after applying your liquid or cream foundation.


Check out swatches of this product below:

You can find this product at your local drugstores or check online at N.Y.C. website.

This product was bought with my own money, if and when I am given free goodies, I will mention it.

FOTD: U D Psychedelic Sister?

Hello lovelies,


Hope everyone is well. Answer to the title of the question is NO! I aint a Psychedelic sister, if you own the Urban Decay Bk of shadows III you would know that there is a color named Psychedelic Sister in the palette and that was the reason for me wanting the palette for that specific color.
All the previous  four FOTD titles are namely from the Urban Decay Book of Shadows III and not related in any form or way to degrade or disrespect anyone.

















Products Used:
FACE
Revlon Beyond Naturals primer
Graftobian cosmetics creme f/d: Warm Umber
new Ebay 20 concealer palette
Black Radiance concealer duo:
N.Y.C. Sun 2 Sun bronzer: Bronze Mist
Milani Glimmer stripes: Berry Stripes (highlight)
Black Radiance blush: Plum Sorbet
L'Oreal HIP e/s: Foxy ; brown color (contour)


EYES
UDPP
L'Oreal HIP paint: Commanding

Urban Decay Bk of Shadows III:
- Suspect (inner ½ )
- Smog  (outer ½ & inner bottom lashline)
- Psychedelic Sister  (crease & outer bottom lashline)
- Bordello  (highlight & browbone)
- Perversion (outer crease)

Wet n Wild Mega chrome eyeliner: Amethyst
Wet n Wild cream eyeliner: black
Maybelline One by One mascara


LIP
Jordana l/l: Parisian Plum
Revlon l/s: Va Va Violet
Unknown brand lip gel: Supermodel


Btw doesn't the lip color look similar to a just release MAC collection lip product... hmmmm!!
This look would be great for any Fall look or even for a sexy Halloween look. However, hopefully I'll be able to check out that new MAC collection but I am not a fan of these dark color lippies, I have worn my fair share of dark lips back in the day and now I am pretty much over it. If anyone owns the two LE MAC Make Me Over purple lipstick shades and also Revlon Va Va Violet, please do let me know if they are similar. Thanks and enjoy the weekend everyone.


Be Fabulous & be smart!!

Products of the Week!

Hello lovelies,


I am featuring to you two daring but bold lip products for the Fall season. Check them out:
Wet n Wild lipstick in Cherry Bomb and OCC lip tar in Vintage.

L-R: Wet n Wild 918D Cherry Bomb & OCC lip tar in Vintage

L-R: Wet n Wild 918D Cherry Bomb (heart) & OCC lip tar in Vintage (diamond)



Wet n Wild megalast lipstick in Cherry Bomb 918D is a bold, deep berry red. This color for me is great to wear in the Fall. I love different shades of red and this color compliments the brown sisters with any smokey eye look or simple winged liner look.


Check it out with my previous makeup look:












❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋


Now check out OCC lip tar in Vintage. Vintage is a deep, bold,  burgundy red. This burgundy lippie is great for a classic pin up look.










 Be Fabulous & be smart!

P.S. All products mentioned was purchased by me unless otherwise stated and all opinions are solely mines. I am in NO way affiliated with any of the companies mention above.
