Today's look: miss manga mascara and mac's chatterbox

I have to say I was really excited to try out loreal's new miss manga mascara. It definitely opens up the eye.  Too faced better than sex mascara is still my number 1 go for all mascara products, but I think for a natural look this one is at the top of the list :) I paired it with Mac's lipstick in chatterbox with baby sparks dazzleglass on top. The nail polish I used today was Essie's turquoise and caicos.

Using too faced better than sex mascara was the last step for this eye look.

Makeup haul and fotd

I am so excited that I actually had a chance to do a look with some of my new makeup products today. For the eyes I used the Too faced chocolate palette (which I am in love with btw). And yes, when you open it up it does smell like chocolate which is amazing. To first try it out I ended up using their directions to get the "milk chocolate"eye look. For the lips I used Mac's liner in "kiss me quick" and lipstick in "true love'

s kiss" ( Maleficent collection). I am usually a pink lip kind of girl but I love this red. For the cheeks I used a little bit of Mac's desert rose blush.

 I have not tried out my second lip product yet but I did swatch it. Urban Decay's lipstick in melted peony is a beautiful light pink color.I swatched all 3 lip products so you could get a better idea of what they look like.

Mac's nail polish in flaming rose has been my new go to nail polish since the release

New lip gloss - Dose of Color

I decided to blog about this new lip gloss I got in the mail a few weeks ago. I had heard over and over from bloggers that the lip gloss in undressed (by dose of color) was amazing. So I decided to try it out myself. To be honest, when I first opened it and tried it on I thought oh no what have I done... wasted money. But today when doing my fotd I realized just how perfect this lip color can be when done right. I chose to do a brighter cheek neutral eyes and the neutral lip and I am loving it. That says a lot coming from the girl that is obsessed with the bright lip look. So anyone who is curious about this lip gloss I say it is worth a try :)

It's been a while... Fotd :)

So I decided to post another FOTD from last night. Here are the products I used:

Foundation: pur 4 in 1 liquid foundation in light clair, with pur 4 in 1 pressed mineralized makeup over top

Under the eyes: Mac's prep and prime highlighter in radiant rose

Eyes: NYX eyeshadow base with UD primer potion over top

          Wet and Wild eye shadow in walking on eggshells ( lightest color) mixed with Mac's all that 

           glitters eyeshadow as the base color

           Mac's texture eyeshadow with ELF's mocha eyeshadow in the crease ( blend, blend, blend)

           Mac's swiss chocolate eyeshadow in the corner

           Urban Decay's eyeliner in whiskey

           Maybelline's falsies mascara

Eyebrows: NYX eyebrow kit

Cheeks: Benefit bronzer and highlighter 

             Benefit blush in hervana

             Mac's mineralized skin finish in soft and gentle

Lips: Cover girl's lip gloss in turn up the heat

Lush Ma Bar and Mr Punch Review

I decided to use another one of my bubble baths tonight after my workout and what better than the amazing Ma Bar. I say amazing mostly because of the fact that it is made of half cocoa and half toffee with a brown sugar cube in the middle. It smells really good :). The only downsides are: it does not change the water color like some of the others and you have to use bigger chunks of it each time to get the right amount of bubbles ( but that's not a big deal to me). I would still recommend it even though it is smaller than some of the others and goes a little quicker. For all the chocolate lovers out there you will like it. I also tried my little sample of Mr Punch fruity soap tonight which I have to say is amazing as well. Normally the samples I get from Lush arent ones I would ever buy but I love this one. Might have to order the bigger size in the future.

Casual Makeup of the Day for a Casual Day

Looking through all my makeup and nail polishes this morning reminded me how long it's been since I've posted on  this blog. So I figured since it's a casual day I would do a casual makeup look with my favorite nail polish (mod about you). This look was inspired by a makeup look i saw Jaclyn Hill make so i thought i would try to recreate it. If you want the link to her actual video here it is :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMNZiaky5U The only big changes I made included using the mac lipstick angel and a lip gloss by bare essentials in katie ( perfect pink). I think this may be my new go to look. Never would have thought I would have loved the tempting eyeshadow by mac so much but it is really pretty.

glam bag for march:

I have to say the past 2 months I have pretty disappointed in the glam bag products but I guess thats how it works... first month you get really nice stuff and after that just fillers....
I'm still deciding if I am going to cancel my glam bag for next month....

what i got this month:

1. Derm store care package- eh... that stuff really doesn't excite me too much
2. foundation elements- another ehh...
3. kera color enhancing leave  in treatment-this might be useful but we will see i guess
4. glam eyeshadow brush and case- the one product i did like this month, the brush works well but still disappointed that this is the only thing i really liked

Small Haul

Lately I have become obsessed with Mac's eyeliner in undercurrent. I had heard of this eyeliner before on youtube makeup videos but never actually tried it out. Now that I see how well it brings out hazel eyes it has become one of my top makeup products. The liner glides on really smooth and lasts throughout the day.
Because spring is on its way I also wanted to create a light blue pastel eye look. I have used light blue eyeshadows in the past but have realized that I really needed a blue base in order to make the eyeshadow stand out more and last longer. Nyx's jumbo eye pencil  in pacific looks promising so we will see....

( Would look better with a green eye, however I originally did a neutral eye and just couldn't wait another day to try this eyeliner out)

For the past 2 months, Dj and I have been trying to use up whats left of our holiday candles. The other day I decided  I had had  enough of those smells and it was time for a least one spring scented candle.
Bath and Body Works new scent in flower shop is very strong but smells amazing. I think we made a good choice.
