Biweekly Basket February 20th – March 5th

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! I am back with another makeup basket. I am sorry I was not able to post a look this past week, but I was actually under the weather. This next basket will be two weeks long as I will be once again using my Lorac Mega Pro 3, which is technically like 2 Lorac Pros. So, for further details, here are the products I will be focusing on.


For face, I will continue using my UD Gwen Stefani palette (stay tuned for a post regarding by Project 10 pan as I definitely have some progress on this baby!). I will be focusing on the bronzer, Lo-Fi, the blush Cherry, and the highlight.


For eyes, I will be focusing on the Lorac Mega Pro 3 (sorry, I could not find a better picture and lighting is not great as it is night time :-( )


For lips, I will be focusing on Revlon Black Cherry and MAC Snob.

That is it! I will obviously be pulling some other products from my collection but these are the ones I have chosen to get some "extra loving". I hope to be feeling better this weekend and will try to post one look and a bonus!

Stay tuned!

Thank you all for reading!

Weekly Basket: February 13th – 19th

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! I wanted to come on here really quickly and type up a weekly basket. Sorry I was not able to blog a look this week with my Urban Decay Naked Smoky, but I do have a couple looks posted on my instagram if you want to head over there and check it out.

The following are products I will be focusing on this week:

For face, I will continue wearing my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette. For blush, I will be using Cherry, and for bronzer/contour I will be using Lo-Fi.

For eyes, I will be focusing on my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eye palette. I absolutely loooove this palette! It is the perfect balance of every day and dramatic/pops of color.


For lips, I will try to focus on NYX Snow White, Revlon Black Cherry, and MAC Snob.

I will hopefully have a look with these products over the coming week/weekend.

Thanks for reading, I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Smoky Eye with Burgundy Lips



Hello all, today I created this smoky look with my Lorac Pro palette. If you want to know how I achieved it, keep on reading!


I started off by concealing my under eyes using my Tarte Under eye corrector in light medium. I used a damp beauty blender to blend that out.

For foundation, I used a combination of my L'oreal Pro-glow in 201, and my Tarte Rainforest of the Sea in Fair Beige. I blended that out with a beauty blender.

I set the makeup with my Laura Mercier translucent powder. I like this for setting but it does not have the brightening effect in the under eyes like the Besame powder does. I used a big fan brush from Shany cosmetics. 

For brows, I filled them in with my NYX dark brown brow pencil, and set it with the clear gel from essence.

I primed my lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and set that with the shade "cream" from the Lorac Pro palette.

With a flat shader brush, I applied the shade Slate all over the lid and up to the crease.

I then used the shade Taupe and applied that to the crease as a transition shade.

I then took that same brush and the shade Garnet and applied that to the crease to warm up the look.

I smudged a bit of Slate in the lower lash line

I took the shade Black and smudged it into the upper lash line.

I took the shade Nude (a shimmery milky pink) and applied that as the brow bone highlight.

I used the iSOCiETY COSMETICS cream shadow in oh baby and applied to the inner corner.

I then applied the iSOCiETY COSMETICS pigment in metalico on top of that oh baby cream shadow for extra "oomph".

For mascara, I used Benefit they're real primer and mascara.

For bronzer, Urban Decay Gwen face palette in the shade Lo-Fi.

For blush, I got a bit creative and used the shade "Mauve" from the Lorac Pro palette and applied it as blush.

For highlight, I used the shade Angel from UD Gwen Palette.

For added drama, I applied the Ardell Double Up falsies.

For lips, I used Revlon's Black Cherry, a creamy vampy burgundy shade.

I forgot to take a picture but I set the whole thing with my Mario Badescu rose water spray.

I hope you enjoyed this look, I certainly did! 

As usual, thanks so much for reading!
