A look using my Lorac Unzipped pallet and review!!

I LOVE THIS PALLET!  I can't get enough of this thing.  The shadows are amazing quality and blend beautifully.  I love the rose tones for fall and am planning on using this a ton.  I used the color undercover all over the lid and up to the brow bone, unconditional in the crease, and unbelievable on the lid. 
The Behind the Scenes Eye Primer that comes with this pallet is also one of the best I have ever used.  I did my makeup at 2pm and it lasted until I washed my face the next morning at 7am. (I work nights)
The rest of the face: Revlon photo ready foundation/Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, Benefit Hoola Bronzer, L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara, Wet N Wild Eye Brow Kit, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Pallet.

Maybelline Face Studio Master Hi-Light

I have two the these Maybelline blushes and I think they are amazing.  I love the colors because not only do they give you a great blush color but they hi-light at the same time.  They are not sparkly or glittery.  They have an amazingly sophisticated glow. 


The first color that I have is Pink Rose.  The particular blush is highly pigmented and I have to use a light hand with it.  If I don't go overboard it gives my cheeks a beautiful youthful flush with a luminosity that looks like it's coming from within.



The second color I have is Nude.  This shade is my favorite of the two.  I love it because it is such a natural blush color.  I don't have to be as careful with this once even though it is just as pigmented.  This color is just easier to work with and I feel it would be amazing on any skin tone.  It also gives that lit from within look.



Overall I think these are great and highly recommend them!!!
















You can pick these blushes up at Ulta and here is the link:

My June 2014 Beauty Favorites!!

These are my June beauty favorites!  Please let me know what you think and comment below with any questions.  I would love you hear you thoughts on these products and any suggestions for products that I should try.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer

This is a great bronzer.  It is a light brown bronzer with little to no orange tint.  It is completely matt.  It is packaged in an adorable box and comes with a natural bristle brush.  I don't use this brush but it would be nice for travel if you don't bring anything else.  I just use a contour brush or a powder brush depending on what kind of a look I want.  This is a great bronzer for contouring the face.  It has the perfect tone to create a nice shadow and never looks orange.  I have fair skin and this works amazing for me.  I also use it for an all over bronzy glow and to warm up my complexion.  I never have a problem with it looking cakey and it blends like a dream.  The pigmentation is amazing.  I work 12 hour nights and I usually apply makeup even earlier than that; it lasts all night long.  I would say at least 16 hours without breaking up and looking splotchy. 


Overall I think this is a great bronzer because it is versatile.  I would highly recommend checking it out.


I bought mine at Ulta.  Here is a link:

Makeup Haul May 2014!

Hey guys!!  This is a haul.  I made the hour trip to my Sephora and to Target and did some damage.  I wanted to share with you what I got.  Please let me know if you have any of these products and how much you like them.  I will also do a review video if you are interested on any or all of the makeup products.

Get Ready With Me

Watch while I get ready with minimal makeup for work.  I don't wear much makeup for work but I like to at least look awake while I'm there.  Just enough to cover my uneven skin and brighten my eye area.  Please check out my video and subscribe to my youtube channel while you are there.

What's in my travel makeup bag

Here are all things makeup that I took on a recent trip.  We went out of town to visit family for a week.  We were mostly sight seeing and spending time with family.  No need to any high glam makeup but I like to be prepared just in case something comes up...having your options open is a great feeling.  I also knew that there would be a lot of pictures taken since I was meeting my boyfriends family for the first time.  I didn't want to look bad in the photos.  To me there is nothing worse then being unprepared. 

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Pressed Bronzer

I have this bronzer in the Medium to Dark shade.  So far I have really enjoyed using this bronzer.  It does seem a bit dark for right now.  It comes off a little bit orange as a contour but blends out nicely.  It will be an amazing bronze color for summer months after a bit of tanning and self-tanning.  The packaging is a bit bulky because it allows extra room under the powder for the brush that is comes with.  I am not a fan of this brush.  The bristles seem to be very course and rough.  This bronzer is supposed to be infused with vitamins and moisturizers.  I do not notice any difference between this and other bronzers I have used as far as moisture goes.  It is also fragrance free. 

I hope you find this helpful.  I think I would like to try the Light to Medium shade for winter months.  I will definitely get a lot of use out of this bronzer!

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Nars Bronzing Powder is a true brown-based bronzer.  I find no orange effects with this bronzer.  It does have a slight gold shimmer but nothing too noticable.  This works as a contour for me because I have pale skin.  I also like it for an all over glow with a light hand.

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Milk Chocolate Review

This is a light matte bronzer.  It has real cocoa powder in it so it smells (and tastes, although I don't recommend eating it) like chocolate!

This is a lighter version of their bestselling Chocolate Soleil original matte bronzer. I like this one because it is really suited for pale to medium skin tones.  I use it all year round for a summer glow and because it is matte I also contour with it.  I work 12 hour shifts and this bronzer stays on all day.  It stays even though I don't set with a powder because I don't want a lot of products on my skin for such a long time.  Overall this is one of my all time favorite bronzers!

This bronzer is free of the following:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
