February Favorites!

My Favorite Book: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater: I read this book very, very slowly, during my breaks at work. It is a sweet love story about a girl and a boy that turns into a wolf when it is cold. They are star crossed lovers. It is the first book in a trilogy.

Beauty Favorites

1. Neutrogena Shine Control Primer

After using Benefit Porefessional, I had this primer. I didn't like it in the Summertime because it didn't help with my oil. Now that it is Winter my skin is drier, and it works a lot better. So I recommend this.

2. Lush The Kiss Lip Balm

I got this for Valentine's Day from Lush. It is a nice smelling, nice feeling lip balm. I wore it when my lips felt chapped. It was limited edition just for the holiday.

3. Lush Prince Charming Shower Gel

Oh, I just love this stuff! It smells so good. It smells the most like grapefruit. It is a citrusy smell. It helps to wake you up and energize you. It leaves the skin so soft, I didn't need to put lotion on afterwards. It was also limited edition for Valentine's Day.

4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach

This is a beautiful, pigmented, peach lip gloss from the drugstore. It feels so good on the lips. I think it looks good with my coloring.

5. Stila In the Moment Palette

This is one of my favorite palettes. It has purples and neutrals, which I love. I did a blog post about it this month, so I was using it a lot. I really recommend these Stila palettes. They are great quality.

6. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray

I got this off of Hautelook.com. I got the All Nighter Setting Spray too. I can't tell the difference between the two. They both help make my makeup last. I heard of a trick by LolaMarie on Youtube. You spray your face first, then dot on foundation, then you spray your brush and blend in the foundation. This makes your face look really natural and the makeup lasts. That is what I did with this.

7. Crown Brush Palette 36 Color Leopard Print Neutral

This month I was obsessed with duping the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I got the Crown Brush Palette off of Ebay. The third row, 5th color in is a dupe for Limit, which I used a lot this month. I found out about it from Diva Makeup Queen on Youtube. I did a blog post on the dupes for the Naked 3 palette this month. It is a light dusty rose, matte shadow.

8. Lorac Pro Palette

This is a very beautiful palette. The top row is matte and the bottom row is shimmery. I have heard so many talk about this palette on Youtube. Everyone is in love with it. I just wanted it to dupe one of the shadows for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. It is Mauve. It is the top row, 5th color in. It is a duper for Nooner, which is a medium pinky-brown mauve that is matte. It has great pigmentation. I need to use this palette more because there are so many looks I could create with it. I may do a blog post devoted to this palette alone.

9. Thayers Alcohol-Free Toner in Rose Petal Witch Hazel

I think I heard about this from pinksofoxy on Youtube. I just started using it this month. It is a good toner. It smells like roses. I think it does a good job of getting off any residue or makeup left over from cleansing. It is gentle on the face too.

10. Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Parfait

I heard this was a dupe for NARS Turkish Delight Lip Gloss. It took me forever to find it. Finally, I found a kit of four different Bonnebell Lip Glosses, with this inside. It smells like strawberries. It is the perfect pink lip gloss. I love it!

Favorite Songs

Where the Blacktop Ends by Keith Urban
Highway Don't Care feat. Taylor Swift & Keith Urban by Tim McGraw
Sweet Annie by Zac Brown Band
Come Back Song by Darius Rucker

Lots of Shania Twain songs: I used to listen to her in high school. I knew all her songs by heart. One of my friends just heard her for the first time! And I had to go get out my old CD's and listen to them. I still know the words!

I hoped you enjoyed my favorites of the month! What were your favorites this month?

Drugstore Haul!

I am really excited about the new makeup I got. I haven't done a haul in awhile, so I wanted to share with you some new things at the drugstore.

1. Wet 'n Wild Walking the Red Carpet: left palette This is limited edition for the Spring. This was the last one left in my Walgreens. It has pretty neutrals and a beautiful sparkly gold.

2. Wet 'n Wild Flirting at the After Party: right palette. This is also limited edition for the Spring. It has pretty shimmery and matte purple and orchid colors.

3. Revlon Nail Art Sun Candy in Celestial Shine: It looks yellow in the picture, but it is more of a nude shade. It has pretty gold glitter on one side. I thought these were pretty nail polishes for the Spring. I'm going to paint all my nails with the solid color, and do one or two nails with a glitter top coat.

4. Revlon Nail Art Sun Candy in Sun Shower: It looks green in the picture, but it is more of a blue green color. It has beautiful blue and green glitter on the other side.

5. Revlon Nail Art Sun Candy in Solar Flare: It looks orange in the picture, but it is more of a peach. It has similar glitter to Celestial Shine.

6. Revlon Nail Art Sun Candy in Pink Dawn: It is pink on one side, and pink and gold glitter on the other side.

I don't know if the nail polish is limited edition. I found these in the regular nail polish section of Revlon at my local Walgreens.

Stila In the Moment Palette Looks

I'm really excited to have this palette! I already had Stila's In the Light palette, and I really fell in love with it. I don't know why people don't talk about it so much. I started finding out about the other palettes, and they were getting good reviews. For Christmas I got a gift certificate to Sephora, so I decided to get Stila's In the Moment palette because I really like these palettes, and I saw swatches of the palette. I love purples, and it comes with beautiful neutrals. I read somewhere that this was a good palette for someone with green or hazel eyes. I also like the names of the eye shadows. You will see what they are soon enough. On the palettes it is so cute because for example, In the Light palette has little stars, In the Garden has little flowers, and In the Moment has little hearts. I love little details like that.

First, I'm going to tell you what looks were in the look book that came with the palette, and tell you what I thought about the looks. Then I will tell you looks I liked that I found on Youtube. I'll try to describe everything for you.

These are the other products I used.

Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant, Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener, Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover in Extra Fair
Eyeshadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional Primer, Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent, Elf High Definition Powder in Corrective Yellow
Lip Balm: Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched, Lush The Kiss
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Brown
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Spray, Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray
Black Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black

These are the looks from the look book.

1. Wide Eyed Wonder
a. Apply Wonder from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Wonder to lid. I used Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray. You can use MAC Fix Plus, Elf Setting Spray, or water.
c. Apply Whim to the crease and outside corner.
d. Apply Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to the upper and lower lash lines. (This liner came with the palette.)
My Thoughts: Since this look is mainly brown on the eye, I wanted to use pink on the cheeks and lips. For blush I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink. On the lips I used Revlon Pink in the Afternoon lipstick, and Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Head Turner. Wonder is a peachy brown shade. Whim is a beautiful warm golden brown. The eye liner, Tetra, is a deep shimmery purple, but it looks almost black to me. This is an every day, wearable type of look.

2. Purple Dream
a. Apply Instinct from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Impulse to lid.
c. Apply Glance along the crease and blend.
d. Wet brush and apply Glance to the lower lash line.
My Thoughts: The purple eye shadows aren't that pigmented. That is ok because it still looks pretty on the lid, and it is easy to blend out. To wet the brush I used Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. You could use water, MAC Fix Plus, or Elf's Setting Spray. Since the eyes are cool, I wanted to use a peach blush and lip gloss. For blush I used Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. For lip gloss I used Buxom Creamsicle. I like this look.

3. Sophisticated Stare
a. Apply Desire from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Captivate to lid.
c. Apply Catalyst on the upper lash line to crease and blend.
d. Apply Catalyst to the lower lash line.
My Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was to dark on the eyes.

4. Midnight Magic
a. Apply Impulse from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Glance to lid and lower lash line.
c. Apply Improvise to crease.
d. Apply a thin layer of Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to the upper lash line.
My Thoughts: This is a pretty purple look. I think purple goes well with peach, so I wore Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, The Balm Cindy Lou Manizer as a highlight, and Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach.

5. Captivating Eye
a. Apply Spontaneous from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Whim to lid.
c. Apply Captivate to the outside corner of the eye creating a "v" shape.
d. Wet brush and apply Catalyst to the upper and lower lash line creating a smoky finish.
My Thoughts: This does make your eyes look captivating! It is very flattering. To wet brush you can use water, Elf Setting Spray, or an Urban Decay Setting Spray. Some people lick their brush! Since the eyes were warm, I decided to use a cool toned blush and lip gloss. For blush I used Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed, a pretty pink. For lip gloss I used Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Shortcake. This is a light, barely there pink lip gloss. I thought that was good because it didn't take attention away from the eyes. For highlight I used The Balm Cindy Lou Manizer because I'm currently obsessed with it.

6. Smoky Stare
a. Apply Instinct from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Improvise to the lid and crease.
c. Apply Catalyst to the upper and lower lash lines and layer for a smoky effect.
d. Apply Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to lash line carefully extending the line up a bit past the eye.
My Thoughts: The eye liner is weird. At first I thought it wouldn't twist up, but today I got it to twist up. I guess you have to keep on twisting it until it works. This is a dark purple smoky eye. Catalyst I think is a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 3 Blackheart. It looks black with red shimmer. I wore Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed and Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Shortcake.

These are looks on Youtube I found that I liked using Stila's In the Moment Palette.

Girly Questions TAG

I just discovered this tag, and I thought it was so entertaining and hilarious to watch the videos I found. I thought it would be a fun tag to do. You are all tagged!

Go and see these Youtube videos doing the tag. They're hilarious! LolaMarie7 and juicytuesday.

1. Is it cute when a guy kisses you on the forehead? I wouldn't mind it.

6. Are diamonds a girl's best friend? I just had a conversation about this with my friend. She doesn't even like diamonds! And diamonds are not even rare, there is a monopoly on them and so they price them as high as they can. It is just in the previous century, that it became normal for a girl to get an engagement ring! And there are horrible things that go on for a diamond to be mined. I personally am boycotting the diamond industry. I think for some girls, they love diamonds, but I am not impressed.

Favorite Makeup Looks by LolaMarie7

I love this girl's makeup looks! She also has really great hair tutorials, but I'm not into my hair as much as makeup. Her channel is: https://www.youtube.com/user/LolaMarie7. She does a lot of natural looks using drugstore products. I've been wanting to wear more natural looks lately, so I've been going to her videos for ideas. She doesn't bring out a video very often, but you can go back and see all the old videos she has done. I'm including all the looks I've found that I liked from her channel. If there is something she uses that I don't have, I will tell you what I used from my own makeup collection. I've learned a lot about doing my makeup from her. I really enjoy her personality. She's funny and she seems very true to herself. She doesn't seem like she's being fake.

These are the products I used for most looks:

Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener, Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant, Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover in Extra Fair
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black, Wet 'n Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional Primer, Pixi Flawless & Poreless Face Primer, Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
Powder: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Light, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent
Black Gel Liner: Maybelline Eye Studio in Blackest Black
Bronzer: Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Matte Light
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Brown

Here are some looks she did that I recreated and I thought they looked pretty.

1. Quick and Simple Drugstore Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiye1Y1qgH0
a. L'Oreal Hip Eye Shadow Paint in Secretive: Milani Shadow Eyez in Almond Crush, from lashes to brow
b. Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 2nd color, crease
c. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, crease color, on the eyelid
d. Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 1st color, browbone
e. Blend under the highlight shade.
f. Black Liquid Liner, top lash line, wing
g. Mascara top lashes
h. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, crease color, lower lash line
i. Same Palette, eyelid color, inner corner highlight, inner 1/3 of lower lash line
j. Mascara lower lashes
My Thoughts: I haven't been doing the wing. I think I look better without it. I've never used the crease shade from Walking on Eggshells on my lids before. It looks so pretty! Also, I normally don't blend my browbone color underneath, so I learned something new. I heard that Milani Shadow Eyez in Almond Cream is a dupe for MAC's Painterly Paint Pot, and so is L'Oreal Hip Eye Shadow Paint in Secretive, but I think that has been discontinued. For my cheeks I wore Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink Blush. It's a really pretty one. For lips I wore NYX Butter Gloss in Maple Blondie. This is a peachy pink color. It smells like a vanilla cupcake! I love it.

2. Drugstore Smokey Eye https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPgKWP5n7wk
a. Eye Primer
b. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe, outer half of lid into the crease slightly
c. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 1st color, inner half of lid, under brow
d. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 6th color, over color tattoo, angled it in
e. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 2nd color, blend it out in the crease

h. Black Gel Liner, top lash line, thin line inner corner, thicker as you go out, no wing
i. Mascara
j. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 1st color, under brow
k. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 1st color and 5th color, inner corner
l. Tough as Taupe, lower lash line
m. Bronzer, she says she contoured
n. Benefit Bella Bamba Blush: Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural
o. Brightener under eye
p. Looks like she's wearing peach lip gloss: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach
My Thoughts: I put just mascara on the top lashes, and wait until I was finished putting makeup on the lower lash line before putting on mascara on the lower lash line. I love this tutorial! I learned a lot about blending. A lot of the time people skip the blending process on videos, so you don't realize how long it takes to actually blend something out.

3. Drugstore Neutral Eyes *Perfect for Blue Eyes* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn5bvU09qas
a. L'Oreal Hip Eye Shadow Paint in Secretive: Milani Shadow Eyez in Almond Cream, from lashes to brow, inner corner

j. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, brow bone, inner corner
k. Brown Eye Liner, outer corner of lower lash line
l. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, crease color, smudge the brown liner on lower lashes
My Thoughts: I love this look. It is using all drugstore products that I own. I also copied the brushes she used because I have either the same ones or similar ones that she had. I learn a lot from watching her. She has a "Valley Girl" sort of accent, which sort of bothered me at first, but you get used to it. I used Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink for blush. I wore Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach.

4. Quick "Naked" Eyes *Current Loves Look* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeYOvwaKRns
a. Eye Primer
b. Urban Decay Sidecar, eyelid, lower lash line 3/4 of the way in: last shade in Elf Day to Night
c. Urban Decay Naked, crease: 2nd shade in Wet 'n Wild Vanity
d. MAC Brûlée, under brows: Wet 'n Wild Brûlée
e. Black Gel Liner, top lash line, wing
f. Mascara
g. Urban Decay Virgin, inner corner: 4th shade in Wet 'n Wild Lust
h. Blend out the inner corner up in to the inner crease
My Thoughts: This look is really easy. Again, it's a neutral eye look. I have been wanting to wear neutral eye looks lately. I used the same blush and lip gloss I wore in the other tutorials: Pearlescent Pink and Pango Peach. The look is natural and pretty.

5. Matte Smokey Eye "Profile Picture Makeup"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8vvKZNVFDM

m. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 3rd color, outer 1/2 of lower lash line
n. Mascara
o. Wet 'n Wild Greed, 1st color, under brow
p. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, lightest color, inner corner, little bit underneath
q. Benefit Hoola Bronzer
r. Nude Lip Gloss
My Thoughts: This is the makeup she wore in the picture I put of her up top. It was hard for me to blend out the black. I don't know if I have the right brushes. It's a black, smokey look. I wore bronzer on my cheekbones and forehead. For lips I wore Bonnebell Lip Lites in Cappuccino.

6. Everyday Neutral Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxCGEIjqNaE
a. Eye Primer

o. MAC Cream Cup Lipstick: Maybelline Color Sensational Born With It 015
p. MAC Underage Lip Glass: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal
q. MAC Baby Sparks Dazzleglass: Elf Hypershine Lip Gloss in Fairy
My Thoughts: She obviously loves this palette: Walking on Eggshells, and I do too. This is a permanent palette from Wet 'n Wild. You should pick it up if you like these kind of looks. The NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in Rosey is a pretty, natural, rose color. It gives a flush to the skin. The lips are nude, but the gloss gives the lips some life. Again, this is a really pretty, natural look. Lola Marie is an expert at the natural look. I also appreciate how she says what blush and lip products she uses in this video.

My Thoughts: It might be cheaper to get the Hard Candy Duo. I don't have that, so I used colors that were similar. This is an easy, bronze look to do. It looks really natural. You could wear whatever blush and lipstick you want with this. I'm going to wear my favorite Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink and Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach.

I hope you guys check her out! She is lots of fun.

Valentine's Day Looks!

Happy Valentine's Day! I found some looks on Youtube that I liked, and thought I would share them with you. I'm picky when it comes to Valentine's Day looks because I don't really like too much pink on the eyes. I think it looks good on some people, but not me. Here are a few I thought you might like.

1. Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial 2014 by MakeupByCheryl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw_I8hcG_l4
a. MAC Prep and Prime Face Primer in Natural Radiance: L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer
b. Foundation
c. Eyebrows
d. Lush Lip Scrub in Bubble Gum
e. Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia
f. Eye Primer
g. MAC Malt, crease: Wet 'n Wild Lust, 1st color
h. MAC Nocturnals Collection Holiday 2013, pigment set, Kitchmas, eyelid: Wet 'n Wild 8-Pan in Medley, 5th color
i. MAC Brun, outer corner, outer crease: L'Oreal Deep Mocha
j. Blend it out
k. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line, wing
l. Mascara, top lashes
m. Concealer
n. Powder
o. Anastasia Matte Highlighter in Camille, under brow, inner corner, waterline: Milani Shadow Eyez in Almond Cream
p. Brow product, lower lash line: Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in 01 Light, Brow 1 Color
q. MAC Pink Glitter, inner 1/3 of lower lash line: Wet 'n Wild 8-Pan in Medley, 2nd color
r. MAC Phloof! inner corner highlight: Maybelline Quad in Natural Shock, 1st color
s. Mascara bottom lashes
t. Powder
u. Contour, hollows of cheeks, temples, forehead, hair line, under lower lip, jawline, sides of nose, tip of nose: NYC Sunny Bronzer
v. MAC Cream Blush in Lady: NYX Cream Blush in Natural
w. MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush, top of cheekbones, sides of eyes, down nose, cupid's bow: Bare Minerals Clear Radiance (this is not a cream)
x. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey
y. Dior Lip Maximizer: Wet 'n Wild Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Through the Looking Glass
z. Urban Decay Chill Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
My Thoughts: Be careful with the NYX Cream Blush. It is very pigmented! The Wet 'n Wild Lip Gel doesn't plump the lips, it is just a clear lip gloss. I think this look is really romantic and almost fairy like because of the glitter and winged liner. It helps to watch the video to see how she did the winged liner. There are a lot of steps, but it wasn't hard.

2. Valentine's Day Makeup Naked 3 Palette by macshadowcombos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yWxijL_b2k
a. Eye Primer
b. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, Blackheart, outer 1/3 and inner 1/3 of lid, lower lash line, not all the way in next to lashes: Wet 'n Wild Lust, 6th color

d. MAC Blanc Type, blend out the edges of Buzz: Cream shade in Almay Trio for Hazels
e. Limit, crease: Crown Brushes 36 Color Leopard Print Neutral Palette, 3rd row, 5th one in
f. Blend it out

o. MAC Blooming Blush: Covergirl Cheekers in Natural Twinkle
p. MAC Cream Cup Lipstick: Maybelline Color Sensational 015 Born With It
q. MAC Angel Lipstick: Revlon Pink Pout
r. Dust, middle of bottom lip and top lip: Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, eyelid color
My Thoughts: It looks weird at first on the eyes. But then they turn purple, and it looks pretty. The lips are pretty with Walking on Eggshells eyelid color in the center. I've never tried that before. It is a romantic look. Sometimes I think purple and pink look bad on me, but this doesn't look bad. Perhaps it is because macshadowcombos is a red head.

I hope you like these looks, too! I hope you have a really great Valentine's Day!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Dupes and Looks!

Ever since the Naked 3 palette came out, there has been a lot of talk about it. I have seen a lot of tutorials using it on Youtube. Immediately, since I first heard about it I was thinking about duping it. For some reason, it is more fun for me to find the dupes than to purchase the palette. I already have dupes for the first 2 Naked palettes. This was hard for me to find the dupes in my collection. I have given up a couple of times, to be honest. But I really wanted to dupe the palette, and be able to create the beautiful looks I've been seeing. I heard that this is a good palette for hazel eyes because pink and purple contrast well with the color.

To find the dupes I used websites with swatches, descriptions, and people's own dupes. These are my sources: Allura Beauty's Urban Decay Naked 3 Blog Post, Vampy Varnish's Urban Decay Naked 3 Blog Post, Temptalia's Urban Decay Naked 3 Blog Post, and Diva Makeup Queen's Youtube Video. You can find Mac dupes for this palette on this blog: My Eye Shadow Consultant.

Some of my dupes are the same as others, so I will say if I copied them. Sometimes Temptalia said a color was close, but not a dupe, yet I say they are a dupe. They are close enough for me.

1. Strange: Wet 'n Wild Lust, top left color (my dupe)

2. Dust: Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, bottom color (Diva Makeup Queen's dupe)

3. Burnout: Wet 'n Wild Sweet as Candy, pink shade (Diva Makeup Queen dupe)

4. Limit: Crown Brushes 36 Color Leopard Print Neutral Palette, 3rd row, 5th color in (Diva Makeup Queen dupe)

5. Buzz: Maybelline Designer Chocolate, crease color (Diva Makeup Queen)

6. Trick: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 2nd color (Diva Makeup Queen's dupe)

7. Nooner: Lorac Pro Palette, Mauve. (Temptalia says it is more purple. Diva Makeup Queen says it's a dupe. I think it looks the same too.)

8. Liar: Disney Sephora Cinderella Palette in Chateau (Temptalia says it is similar, I say it's a dupe)

9. Factory: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 3rd color (my dupe)

10. Mugshot: Wet 'n Wild Nutty (Diva Makeup Queen's dupe)

11. Darkside: NYX Butt Naked Palette, middle row, far right color mixed with Maybelline Eye Studio in Taupe Temptress, 2nd color (my dupe). It is a dark taupe mixed with a mauve.

12. Blackheart: Wet 'n Wild Lust, bottom right color (my dupe). This is a dark color with dark pink glitter.

The thing I find is good about the dupes is that none of my dupes are powdery or have fall out. I have heard that Dust and Trick are very glittery and have tons of fall out in the Naked 3 palette. If you don't have my dupes or want to see more inexpensive dupes I highly suggest checking out Diva Makeup Queen's video. She compares her dupes with swatches of the Naked 3, side by side. It's a very good video.

These are the products I used for a lot of the looks.

Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer, Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Black Gel Liner: Essence Gel Liner in Midnight in Paris
Brown Gel Liner: Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Brown
Black Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Brown
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional Primer, Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory
Powder: Elf High Definition Powder in Corrective Yellow, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent
Bronzer/Contour: Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Matte Light
Nude Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Nude

These are the looks I found on blogs and mainly on Youtube that I wanted to recreate. Since this palette came out around the holidays, a lot of these looks are called "Holiday" somewhere in the title, but I don't think they only look good during the holidays. I think if it is a good look, it will look good any time.

1. 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Naked 3 Holiday Tutorial! by lisettesbeaute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWiAElOU178
a. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Sand Glow: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded
b. Trick, lid
c. Factory, crease
d. Strange, browbone
e. Trick, lower lash line
f. Black Eye Liner, waterline, tightline
g. Black Gel Liner, upper lash line, wing
h. Mascara
i. Milani Lipstick in Best Red: Revlon Lip Butter in Cherry Tart
j. Illamasqua Blush in Katie: NYX Blush in Peach
My Thoughts: I like how she doesn't use all the eye shadows in the palette. She keeps it simple, and it looks really elegant. The cheeks look naturally flushed. I love this lip butter because it is a wearable red. I don't feel like a crazy red lipped clown. I feel like Snow White. Does that make sense? xD

2. Urban Decay Naked 3 Tutorial + GIVEAWAY! by Amber Cherie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MybPmZxS6sE
a. Eye Primer
b. Trick, inner 1/3 of lid

g. Factory, outer v

j. Em Michelle Phan Waterliner in Ro's Gold, waterline

m. Blackheart, top lash line
n. Mascara
o. MAC Prep & Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast, under eyes: Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer in Radiant
p. L'Oreal True Match Blush in Bare Honey
q. Dust, top of cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow, chin
r. Factory, lower lash line
s. Jordana Lip Liner in Tawny
t. 2 options for lips plum or nude: Maybelline Lip Elixir in Caviar or Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brûlée, I used the Revlon Lip Butter.
My Thoughts: I bought the $20 eye liner by Em Michelle Phan in Ro's Gold, and it does not go on my waterline. I'm very disappointed. Even if it did the black liner on the tight line would still smudge on top of the lower waterline. It doesn't look bad though. I heard that NYX just came out with a rose gold eye pencil, and that should be good. And a lot cheaper! I feel stupid for spending $20 for an eye liner! Overall, this is a good look. The cheeks and lips are nude, and the eyes are rose gold with black liner.

y. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Rush: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose
z. Buxom Gloss in White Russian: NYX Lip Gloss in Frosted Beige
My Thoughts: The eye looks the same to me as the look before. I like the lips, a rosy nude.

4. Naked 3 Mauve and Grey Eye Tutorial by candicemagen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viGxPNUC3wI
a. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Pink: I used my eye primer.
b. Nooner, eyelid

j. Mascara
k. Brown Gel Liner, tightline, waterline
l. Blackheart, set the liner
m. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
n. L'Oreal Color Riche Balm in Caring Coral: Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
My Thoughts: I think this makes my hazel eyes look green. I has mauve on the lid and dark grey on the crease. The eyes are heavily lined. It's a dark, smoky look. I like how she uses a peach blush, rather than a pink blush. It is too much pink if you wear pink on the eye and on the cheeks and lips. I have all of the Revlon Lip Butters! I love the way they feel on the lips. I sprayed Elf Makeup Mist & Set because I thought I looked like I put too much powder on.

5. Soft & Smokey - Naked 3 Makeup Tutorial by MakeupByTiffanyD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAckkx5HhyY
a. Eye Primer

j. Mascara

m. Chanel Lipstick in Radieuse: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Pout
n. MAC Lusterglass in Instant Gold: Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Crowd Pleaser
My Thoughts: After doing the eyeshadow, I used makeup remover to clean up the sides of the eyes and the inner corners because I felt like I had too much shadow there. I think I use brushes that are too big for my eyes sometimes. The eyes look golden brown. The cheeks have no blush, but bronzer instead. The lips are pink with a golden sparkle. It does look like a soft, smokey eye.

6. Naked 3 Tutorial: Soft Smokey Eye by Dana Marie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mQ38Cb1lW8

p. NARS Blush in Sin: The Balm Blush in Cabana Boy
q. Elf Golden Bronzer, top of cheekbones
r. MAC Lipstick in Angel: Revlon Lipstick in Pink Pout
s. Buxom Lip Gloss in Dolly
My Thoughts: This is a dramatic, purple smokey eye. The cheeks are a warm plum. The lipstick is pink and the lip gloss is a mauvey-plummy pink. I think the mauve colors bring out the green in my hazel eyes. I did do the wing. Practice makes perfect.

r. NYX Nude Truffle Lip Liner: Rimmerl Exaggerate Lip Liner in Addiction
s. Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette: Revlon Lipstick in Pink Pout
t. Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Gloss in White Russian: NYX Lip Gloss in Frosted Beige
My Thoughts: This has pink on the lids, and mauve in the crease. I didn't put bronzer on because I've been thinking that it looks a little weird on me, when I contour with it. The cheeks are peach, and the lips are a glossy pink. The pink makes the look romantic.

u. Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight Highlighter, top of cheekbones: The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer
v. Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob
w. MAC Angel Lipstick: Revlon Pink Pout
x. NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair: Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Lasting Moisture Lip Gloss in Delicate Mauve
My Thoughts: I did the wing, and I think the liner makes the eyes look glamorous. The lids are pink and the crease is a taupe brown. This look really brings out the green in my eyes. I've just noticed for a lot of these looks I've been using Revlon Pink Pout. It is a blue-toned pink. The lip gloss makes the lips mauve. The blush is rosy. This looks like a good Valentine's Day look.

9. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Look: Daytime Rose Gold by Beauty Gala http://www.beautygala.com/brands/urban-decay-naked-3-palette-look-daytime-rose-gold/
a. Buzz and Trick on eyelid, blend two together for rose gold
b. Nooner, crease, blending upward
c. Buzz, lower lash line
d. Strange, browbone
e. Nude Eye Liner, waterline
f. Black Eye Liner, small amount upper lash line
My Thoughts: I love rose gold. For bluest I wore Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink. For lips I wore Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach. It's an easy and pretty look.

10. Soft & Pretty - Naked3 Tutorial by lisettesbeaute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVq9w57-_Yg
a. MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Not Just Nudes, 1st color

i. Blackheart, over liner upper lash line
j. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line
k. Mascara
l. YSL Lip Gloss in 202 Rose Jersey: Bonnebell Lip Lites in Grapefruit
My Thoughts: There is pink on the lid, and purple eye liner. There is a mauve color in the crease. I think this is good for hazel eyes. She didn't say what blush, so I chose a peachy pink one: Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink. This would be a good Valentine's Day look too.

Easy Valentine's Day Decorations!

I wanted to share my Valentine's Day decorations with you. They are really easy and inexpensive. The most expensive thing were the lanterns from Target. You can find window stickers at the Dollar Tree, Rite Aid, the grocery store, and Target. If you want to decorate for a holiday it is a cute inexpensive thing to put on your windows. I got the heart frame and heart tree at Target.

I hope you all have a fun Valentine's Day!

Lush Valentine's Day Haul!

I was really happy with the Christmas Lush products I got in December. It was a fun way to celebrate the season. When I saw that Lush had Valentine's Day products coming out, I got really excited! This year I can't wait for Valentine's Day because my mom is getting a much needed surgery, and I know she is going to feel a lot better when she gets it done. Lush products arrive so quickly! I think it may be because we have a Lush shop near me. It might be made by people in that store, I'm not sure. I wanted to share with you each thing I got, and a little review.

1. Love Locket Bath Bomb: Isn't this the cutest thing?! This is what the Lush website says, "What's inside this locket? You'll need to break this heart-shaped bomb in half to find out! Use each half and the center for three separate baths (each piece is big enough to stand on its own), or sink in with the whole thing all at once. The outside layer is speckled with paper hearts that will float out to the surface of the pink water, and the hidden center releases a smattering of shiny red agar seaweed hearts to create a spectacular bath time display. The sensual blend of vanilla, jasmine and neroli essential oils top off the luxurious and indulgent experience. We use agar seaweed to create beautiful biodegradable hearts that dissolve right back into the ocean."

Review: I put the side with the yellow lock in the tub, and it is hot pink with yellow so that turned orange. It was very bubbly. And little pink hearts came out like confetti. It smells so good. It smells like other Lush products I've tried. I don't know how to explain.

I put the heart that was hidden inside in the tub today, and it had a bunch of red hearts on it that floated around in the tub. It has the same smell, and the water is light pink. It is very softening for the skin. I'm glad there are three parts to this. I really like this bath bomb!

I put the last 1/3 in today. It makes the bath water light pink, and pink hearts came out!

This is what it looks like when broken. There is a little heart inside! My dad used a large cutting knife.

2. The Kiss Tinted Lip Balm: This smells so good! I can't quite figure out what it smells like, but it smells really familiar like a berry or a candy I've had. This is what the website says, "The Kiss has it all: vegan, preservative-free, highly moisturizing and softening, subtle color and lots of shin. The whipped buttery base of Fair Trade shea and cupuacu melt on to soften and hydrate lips while almond and organic mandarin oils bring lip-smacking flavor. Organic agave syrup smoothes on for a high shine finish, boosted by PET-free sparkles. We top this gloss off with a dash of guarana seed powder, one of nature's boosters, to make your lips feel plump, soft and absolutely kissable." It feels really good on the lips. It's very moisturizing. There is a slight pink tint, but it looks natural. My lips didn't plump up, but that's ok. I don't like the stinging that normally happens with that. There is no stinging with this.

3. Prince Charming Shower Gel: I love the name of this, and when I found out the scent I wanted to get it. This comes in three different sizes. Since I've never had this before I got the smallest size. If I really like it I can get the bigger size next year. This is what the website says, "Lather up in our brand new, limited edition shower gel! Fresh pomegranate juice and grapefruit oil cleanse the skin while their bright energetic scents help wake you up on early mornings. Add to that a blend of Fair Trade vanilla pod infusion, skin-softening marshmallow root and almond oil, and you're in for royally soft, moisturized skin all over. The fragrance was made especially for this product and we think it's an instant classic. Prince Charming is bound to sweep you off your feet!"

Review: I love it! It smells very citrusy that must be the pomegranate and grapefruit. I took a shower in the morning, and I think it did help to wake me up. It feels so good on the skin. It is the perfect shower gel!

4. Close To You Massage Bar: I thought this looked really cute, and I like the ingredients in it. This is what the website says, "Made with luxurious butters and a delicious vanilla scent, this sweet massage bar is guaranteed to bring someone special close to you! This is one of our smooshable bars, which can be pressed between your palms, melted and used for one glorious all-over body massage. It's inspired by a British cookie called the Jammy Dodger, which is made of shortbread and raspberry jam in the middle. If you peek in the heart-shape on the top of the massage bar you'll see the scrumptious white fondant center. This yummy bar is made with the same sweet vanilla scent as Creamy Candy Buble Bar and Rock Star soap. Not only is this bar made with cupuacu and shea butters, it's also made with a dash of corn flour to leave skin silky smooth." How to use: "Glide the massage bar directly over dry skin; it will melt upon contact. Massage or rub the oils into the skin. As massage bars are made with natural butters and oils, take care to ensure they absorb completely before putting on you best pj's. Massage bars melt at body temperature, keep yours somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight." When I was taking pictures of this, it was already melting in my hands! I kept the plastic bag it came with to store it in. I've never tried a Lush massage bar, so this will be interesting. It seems like it will be like a lotion.

Review: I really don't like this! It turned my skin bright pink! I look like I got a sunburn. It is like a lotion that doesn't absorb into the skin. I feel like I should wash it off. It is so bizarre. I don't think I'm going to get a massage bar again. I would rather use a lotion. It took a long time, but it finally dissolved, and my skin feels very moisturized, so it does work. I don't know if I will use it again. The next day I took a shower, and I still had some parts of my skin that were stained pink! I really don't like that. I threw it away.

5. Sex Bomb Bath Bomb: This is not limited edition for Valentine's Day. I saw this was in one of the Valentine's Day packages, and I wanted to try this out too. I love the bath bombs! It has a rose on the top! This is what the website says, "What's in a name? When it comes to the Sex Bomb we take the moniker seriously. A must for any romantic bath, our world famous sphere of sex appeal contains all of Nature's most potent and seductive ingredients to get you in the mood for a good... bath. Scintillating jasmine, clary sage and ylang yang are powerful aphrodisiacs that are known to relax you as they warm your heart, and other body parts too. Soya milk makes the water milky, softening your entire body as you enjoy a luxurious soak with our best-selling Bath Bomb. Consider yourself warned."

Review: It is a dark pink bath. A full rose bud comes out and it floats in the bath. Then the rose bud breaks up and the petals float around the tub. It has good smells, like Lush stuff does. I can't pin point what I'm smelling. It feels like a luxurious soak.

6. Aqua Marina: This is a sample I got. I'm happy to try it out! It is a face wash. This is what the website says, "Do you remember putting calamine lotion on bug bites as a child? Aqua Marina was made with the same principle in mind; using the soothing pink extract to reduce redness and inflammation in sensitive skin. Those who have a tendency to react to citrus or strong herbal oils will find salvation in Aqua Marina's gentle aloe vera and moisturizing nori seaweed. Especially cooling on sun burnt faces, Aqua Marina is perfect for normal to dry skin types. Your cleanser will remain fresh for up to three months. Always check the expiration date on your product. It may look like it was pulled from the ocean, but that's only because it's wrapped in Nori seaweed! Nori seaweed is packed with vitamins and nutrients for soft skin." How to use: "Dampen your face with warm water. Place a pea-sized chunk in the palm of your hand and add water to create a paste. Apply to your face using small, circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. For best results follow with the LUSH toner and moisturizer that best suit your skin type."

Review: It is a clay texture, so you have to put some in your hand and water and mix it in your hand to put on the face. It stung when I put it on my nostrils, but that is the only place I had problems, so I just wont put it there the next time I use it. It didn't take away my redness unfortunately, but I think this was sensitive to my skin. Maybe if I keep using it, the redness will go away.
