LE Maybelline Color Tattoo for Summer 2013 Collection

Hey Beauties,


Maybelline has released a limited edition collection for Summer 2012 with some 24hr Color Tattoo, nail polishes and other beauty products. The Color Tattoo were the only items appealing to me and I had to have them. Now, I went on a mission to find these products, I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond after seeing Kokofemme post swatches and mention she had gotten hers there. When I got there, they had only one color on the display in stock, which was Icy Mint. I gave the Sale Associate the most hardest time as I was desperate to find these, she suggested that I could order them online and she went ahead and did so for the other colors not in stock and I had them ship to my home. :)))

Now each Color Tattoo was sent to me in from different locations in different packagings at different times. I was more so happy I had gotten them but to my curiosity there was two I was missing. Those two were only seen in Walgreens as stated by bloggers and I went on another hunt to a local Walgreens which nothing turn up for me but then I tried the nearest Walgreens near my home and walla it was there along with the previous six colors that are found at BB&B. I did not get Precious Pearl as it reminded me of a previous Color Tattoo.



Here are swatches of the new limited edition Summer Collection of Maybelline Color Tattoos. These Color Tattoo are more so duo-chrome shades and very creamy in texture.

Top: L-R: Blue Paradise :: Shady Shores :: Lavish Lavender

FOTD: Whisper of Gilt

Hello Beauties,

Today's look is using an inexpensive palette that I purchase from Walgreens name Amuse. The eyeshadows from this palette are super soft and creamy and apply like butter on the eyes. These colors are intense but being that they create lots of fall out when applying but are workable on the eyes in application.

FOTD: Prom Glam Pt 1

Hello Beauties,

I had promised that I would do a prom series and I am keeping my word. This series would be called Prom Glam.... here is my first look for this series. In this series I will give a step by step (in words) as to how I achieve the look. Nevertheless, today's Prom Glam look features affordable makeup products that can be purchased from your local beauty supply stores and drugstores  that offer affordable brands such a Ruby Kisses, ELF and N.Y.C.

Products Used
FACE
Ruby Kisses No More Blemish f/d: Cognac
Ruby Kisses mineral powder: Cognac
Ruby Kisses 3D Face creator: Level 12 ; light color (under eye concealer)
N.Y.C. Translucent powder (set under eye concealer)
Ruby Kisses mineral powder: Ebony (contour)
ELF blush: Mellow Mauve (blush) & Gilded Gold (highlight)


EYES
Wet n Wild eye primer
Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo: Gold Shimmer (lid base)
Ruby Kisses eyeliner: Brown (bottom lashline base)
ELF e/s: Wheat (lid), Mocha (outer lid & crease), Aubergine (outer lid, crease & bottom lashline), Moon Dust (highlight), Pink Ice (tearduct)
Physician Formula Shimmer Stripes for Green Eyes: black color (lid liner & waterline)
Maybelline Falsies Flared mascara


LIPS
N.Y.C. liquid shine: 555B Iced Orchid

The Process

• Primer lid and bottom lashline with Wet n Wild eye primer or ELF eye primer
• Apply a base so as to intensify the eyeshadow color, I used Maybelline 24 hr Tattoo in Gold Shimmer and applied it to the lid, leaving  the outer corner bare. 
• Using ELF eyeshadow in Wheat apply it unto the lid over the base we applied previously. Then using a crease brush I applied Mocha on the outer lid and blended into the crease area for more depth. 
• ELF Aubergine eyeshadow was then taken as done in the same process as we did with Mocha for more depth in our look. 
• With ELF Moon Dust I applied it lightly as a highlight under the arch of my brow.
• Taking Ruby Kisses brown eyeliner and applied it to my bottom lashline and smudge Aubergine eyeshadow over it. 
• To line my eyelid and waterline I opted for my Physician Formula cream eyeliner in black with a simple wing detail. 
• Applied my favorite mascara and then applied ELF Pink Ice eyeshadow lightly in the tearduct.
• And there you have your eye look is complete, adding lashes is optional but would be very glam for the look.

• Apply your foundation of choice if you have oily skin be sure to apply a primer and my favorite: MOM (Milk of Magnesia) which keeps the oils abay. For dry skin, be sure to moisturize the skin before applying your foundation.
• After you have completed your face foundation routine, spray some makeup mist/fix +/ setting spray to keep your makeup looking fresh and glam during your night of enjoyment. An affordable setting spray would be ELF spray mist that contains Aloe which calms the face and leaves it looking fresh. 
• Apply your lip balm and then your lip shine of choice. I used the subtly color from N.Y.C. in Ice Orchid. If need be to line your lips, apply a Rose pink color or Cocoa depending on your skin tone. Do not apply a black color to your lips.
