Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eye palette Look

Winged liner with Shimmery Pink Lips

Hello everyone! I am back with a look that is perfect for summer. It is a basic eye look with winged liner paired with a bold lip (my usual go to!). This time, I paired the eye look with a shimmery/glittery pink lip.

I started by priming my lids with my NYX eye shadow base and setting that with the shade Cream from the Lorac Pro palette.

I then took a combination of the shades Anaheim and Zone (both midtone matte browns) and applied those to the crease as a transition.

I then took the shade Pop which is a shimmery peachy shade, and applied that to the entire lid. 

I concealed and corrected my under eyes using my benefit Boi-ing concealer and my Nars Radiant Creamy concealer.

For foundation, I mix a bit of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea in Fair light neutral with my Smashbox Studio Skin in 0.5. The Smashbox applies best with a damp beautyblender.

I set everything with my Laura Mercier translucent setting powder. 

To fill in my brows, I used the shade espresso from the Lorac Pro. I then set it using my essence brow gel.

For a brow bone highlight, I used the shade light pink from the Lorac Pro palette.

I used the shade Taupe from the Lorac Pro palette as a bronzer/contour shade.

I also used the shade Mauve as a blush.

I applied the shade Nude as a face highlight.

I set everything with the UD All Nighter setting spray.

I lined my upper lash line and created a wing using the Tarte Sex Kitten liner.

For mascara, I used my deluxe sample from It (Superhero) mascara. 

To finish off the look, I applied the UD lipstick in Big Bang. This shade is a cool pink with tons of shimmer in it. (I got this lipstick from my friend, Jackie! Hi Jackie, thanks for the lipstick! 😊).

I hope you liked this look! 

Thanks for reading!

Monthly Basket/Palette

June 2018 Monthly Basket/Palettes

Hello everyone! Welcome to another round of Monthly palette/basket! If you are new to my blog, welcome! Monthly basket/palette is literally just that, each month I pick a palette from my collection and use it for the entirety of the month. I typically post a few looks using the palette. 

For the month of June, I will be focusing on the following products:


For eyes, I will be using the UD Gwen Stefani palette. This was limited edition but the shades are soooo neutral, that you could typically find dupes of these colors in your collection.


I have really been trying to pan as many shades from the Lorac Pro palette as I can. This is the oldest palette I have and it is getting pretty gross. I am using some of these shades as face products. I will be focusing on the shades Nude (for highlight), Lt Pink for a brow bone highlight, the shade Mauve as a blush, and lastly, the shade Espresso to fill in my brows.

Lipsticks, I will play by ear but I am planning to use a lot of pinks, reds, and maybe purples in my collection. 

I look forward to posting some new looks using this palette!

Thanks for reading!

April and May Empties

Empties: April and May 2018

Hello everyone! Welcome to another round of empties! This post will cover items that I used up in April and May.

The first item is a sheet mask. This is from the Victoria's Secret Pink line. It is the Spa Sesh. This mask has sea minerals and claims to be inspired by K Beauty routines. I am not sure how much this was as it was a gift. I liked it was not too crazy about it but it worked to make my skin feel hydrated. The only problem I have with sheet masks is that they seem to be too big for my face so it doesn't match up quite as perfectly as I would like.

The other item is my usual makeup remover, the Neutrogena makeup removing wipes. If you have read my blog before, you know I love these and always repurchase them.

I also used up a body cream by Bath & Body works. This one is in the scent Japanese Cherry Blossom. This is probably one of my top winter scents. I don't typically buy too many of these because my husband and I  typically buy a huge body lotion and share it. But if I did purchase, I would repurchase this scent.

This is a lip mask from Sephora. It is a shea lip mask. It comes in a sheet mask form. Just like sheet masks, these don't tend to fit my lips quite as nicely. I did notice that my lips were pretty moisturized after using these.

I also used another sheet mask (can you tell the trend for the past couple months??). This one is the illuminate 5 minute flashmasque from Patchology. It came in a little set with several different types of masks. I actually did enjoy this mask, it smelled great and my skin felt pretty nice and soft afterwards. I am definitely interested in trying more of these.

I also used an eye mask by Klorane. I am actually not sure that these do much of anything for my skin. I got this in a FabFitFun box. I definitely need to try some more of these to decide if I like them. 

I finished off an eye balm wrinkle revenge from Dermadoctor. I honestly bought this when I saw CoffeeBreakwithDani on youtube recommend it. I typically like the things she recommends but I honestly did not see a difference when using this product so I don't think I will be repurchasing.

I also finished off an iSOCiETY COSMETICS eye shimmer in oh baby. I really did enjoy this and enjoyed wearing it as a face highlight. I would totally repurchase this but I will hold off as I have a few more highlights that I need to use up first.

I used up a beautyblender solid brush cleaner. I really enjoy this cleaner, it is gentle enough for my beautyblender and for my brushes. I always repurchase these. I prefer to purchase the solid vs the gel. 

I used up my phyisican's formula pressed setting powder. I won't be repurchasing this. I liked it ok but it did not do a great job at setting my foundation. I definitely encountered some transfer of product.

I also finished off my Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation in fair beige. I felt this shade was a bit light and pink for me, but overall, I really like the formula, particularly for the fall/winter/spring. I think I will try and find a better shade match and repurchase.

Finally, I finished off my YSL Black Opium perfume. I really enjoy this perfume! It is the perfect scent for fall/winter. The scent is strong enough for me to be long lasting. I will most definitely be repurchasing. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts on some of these products. Do you have any of these items? Sound off in the comments below!
