In my Comfort Zone

After hearing and seeing all of the chatter in the cyber beauty world about new Wet n Wild products, I finally broke down and purchased a Wet n Wild coloricon palette. Breaking the promise that I made to myself that I would hit pan on at least 30% of my eye shadows before I purchased anymore. (How I would determine 30% I don't know but the rule just made me feel good about myself) I really like this palette it is now my go to for a natural everyday look because all the colors I need are all in one place. Ok now lets get to what you really want to know.

Cost: $4.68 plus tax at Wal-Mart
Pigmentation: Wonderful! In fact I find myself having to be careful about not just digging into some colors with my brush because I could pick up way too much product.

Current Lust

Revlon Color Stay I had this for a while and when I first bought it I hated it with a passion! But after hearing so many good things about it and buying a new foundation brush I gave it a try again and I love it.

Milani eyeliner so smooooooooooth.

Looooooove these lashes bought them at a dollar store in the middle of Nowhere, USA.

Bought this standing in line at Walgreens they suckered me in with the .99 cent sign. But I'm loving it I mix it with my sunscreen and it doesn't leave me oily.

I've been mixing the Covergirl lash blast and Maybeline great lash. (I know I don't have to mix mascaras but I'm attached and I don't want to let them go *sigh*)

Snap Crackle Pop

I saw the crackle/shattered nail polish about a month ago and thought "oh that's cute" and politely kept it moving. Well this week I stopped and bought. I saw the China Glaze crackle set at Cosmo Prof and finally decided to give it a try but what I was originally looking for was the Katy Perry shatter polish from OPI but the rep told me that it has been really hard to find ever since it came out. Anyway I bought the entire China Glaze set for $8.99 and I have to say it was really easy to do and it turned out great!

Im learning

Today I did makeup on one of my classmates and I really learned a lot. Even though I can do makeup on myself and "make it POP" for lack of a better term, I am really self conscious about putting it on other people. I tend to just do a soft everyday natural look on most people. So at first that was the look I did and it looked nice but it wasn't exactly what she was looking for. I started over and with a little coaching from my classmates telling my I could do it (and not to cross contaminate *cough cough*) I did it and in the end everything turned out great I am now more confident and feel like I can step outside of the box more when it comes to doing work on others.

E.l.f brush review

Finally
Ok I purchased these brushes about 3 weeks ago from eyeslipsface.com and have gotten the chance to use them several times. Overall I can say that they are a decent quality. I washed them and got NO I repeat NO shedding at all (from the studio brushes, the regular brushes were shedding all over the place). I had one hair shed from the powder brush! These brushes are synthetic, made from taklon fibers. Very soft! I would most defiantly purchase them again. Did I mention they are only $3.00 for studio brushes and $1.00 for the regular brushes so they are great for someone just starting out or on a budget! My only problem is they are some what light I usually like to use a slightly heavier brush.

Powder Brush: I use this for liquid foundation/ buffing

Complexion Brush: Powder foundation

Angled Contour Brush: I like to use this brush to conceal under my eyes

Eyeshadow "C" brush: eyeshadow

Contour Brush: crease brush

Medium Eyeshadow Brush: Now this is the only regular brush that I use and generally have no problems with. I have a ton and am really happy with them. But the rest of the brushes from the regular line are not even worth your dollar.

Update...

Hello again...

I feel like I have been gone forever but it is so good to be back. I am so ready to put up new posts, unfortunatly FOTDs will be limited, can you believe I left some of my makeup behind when I came back from being of town. Imagine how hurt I was but it should be making its way back to me soon (lets hope all in one piece). Let's see I have a little video coming soon (hopefully) on a review for the e.l.f. brushes I ordered a few weeks ago. What else... *tapping chin* I'll try to do a couple of celebrity looks. As well as weekly esthetick class updates. So that's really all I had to say just wanted to let everyone know I'M BACK!
