FOTD

What i am wearing:

 F ace: revlon photoready in 005 natural beige, nyc bronzer in sunny, maybelline age rewind dark circles eraser ( laura gellar spackle in bronze under it all)

Cheeks: tarte- loreal sultry raven's blush, mac's soft and gentle as highlight

Eyes:  covergirl's white eyeshadow  on lid  in inner corner and under brow, mac's quarry all over the lid, wet n wild's comfort zone (grey color) in crease and corner,  falsies for the mascara and NYX super skinny marker liner in carbon black

Lips- maybelline's hooked on pink lipstick (rimmel epic for the liner)

I did take this picture later in the day and I did retouch up with a different lipstick (nyx soft matte lip cream in milan). 

I love nyx's matte lip creams. I really just love a matte pink lip in general lol

Here's a swap of the 2 I currently have-

from left to right: Tokyo and  Milan

FOTD and OOTD-, grey and white causual look with bright pink lips

FOTD today includes a bright pink lip. I know it's fall so many times we stick to the fall makeup colors, but i was organizing today and came across my very favorite lipstick...(yes the YSL rouge volupte in fetish pink) and i had to put it on :). I paired it with urban decay's  naked palatte. I love the fact that the ysl lipsticks have a mirror at the end of it.

FOTD:

what i used-
face: revlon photoready in 005 natural beige, nyc bronzer in sunny
cheeks: tarte- exposed, mac soft and gentle as highlight
eyes: urban decay naked palatte (virgin mixed with covergirl's white eyeshadow  on lid  in inner corner and under brow, sidecar on lid toasted as a crease color and naked to blend up in the crease and hustle in the outer corner) falsies for the mascara and NYX super skinny marker liner in carbon black
lips-ysl rouge volupte- fetish pink (rimmel epic for the liner)

i also wanted to give you guys and update on some of the birchbox products i have been trying out:             
         The first one i wanted to comment on was the clark's botanicals intense radiance mask. I have to say i have noticed a difference since using it, it gives my skin more of a glow.  I usually dont buy any facial masks or creams because when i put it on my face no matter what it is, the next day,  I break out. So when i tried this yet again...i broke out. I have pretty good skin so i try not to add stuff to my face if I don't need to.  I think it works well but i'm not into those products as much so i probably wont ever buy it in the future. It was a nice sample to try though.
      The second product the amika hair treatment is nice. It has given my hair more of a shine and does control my hair's crazy tendency to frizz. It's not amazing so I probably would not ever spend the original $34 on the full size because I'm not great with hair products and styling ( I try lol but it does not come easy to me).  A good trial though :)

OOTD: white tank and cardigan- forever21, jeans- abercrombie, earrings and necklace- the loft, rings are from jewelmint. If you have not signed up for jewelmint to get your monthly jewelry, don't lol hahaha it's reeealllly addicting!

Revlon- carbonite dupe for chanel's graphite

So i was reading Stephs closet's blog and found something very interesting that many of my nail polish loving friends may find interesting. Revlon has in the past sold a dupe for  the famous chanel's graphite. I haven't seen this in any stores but i heard from some blogs that it may be on sale at certain places because it is older. If you guys know where to find this give me the heads up. I mean an exact dupe ($5) for chanel ( $25) is pretty sweet.  Here's a link to a review meganheartsmakeup did on some chanel nail dupes  if you want a better idea   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDx7-W7w68c.

here's some pictures of swatches from stephs closet:
