Summer 2014 Makeup Favorites!


I'm so happy for summer to be here! I love when the weather gets nicer. In Oregon that means less rain! I have done other blog posts for favorite summer makeup looks if you want to find some more in addition to these looks, look under the tag summer or summer makeup. I might do more posts of this topic this year depending on the amount of looks I find that I can dupe and that I think look good. I always try the look out on myself, and see how I like it. If I like it I write it down for the blog. I love finding dupes to makeup other people use from my own collection of makeup. When I use alternative things I will list it beside what the makeup artist used. I also say at the end my overall thoughts on the look. I try to sum up what the end result is. I hope you enjoy these looks!

c. Bob's Red Mill Premium Quality Sea Salt All Natural, 1/2 teaspoon

e. Shake it up.
f. Jasmine Absolute, about 14 drops, shake it up before every use
g. Sparkle Coastal Scents Mirage Gold, 1/2 teaspoon: I don't have this, so I skipped this step.

The tutorial is in another language, but I still duped it! I love newapplearial's makeup looks. I wish they were in English or I would dupe more of them. It is hard for me to dupe when I don't know what is being said or the name of the product.

Fall Makeup Looks Part 2


I love the fall makeup looks because I think the looks of this season go best with my coloring. Have you ever heard of being color matched to a season? I was matched to fall. This was a thing that was popular in the 80's, and my mom did a workshop on it. She always dressed me in fall colors even though in the 80's those weren't popular colors. There were more pinks and purples. I don't know if everyone fits a certain season, but I think it works for me. I have been finding a lot of makeup looks to try out. I want to share them with you.

These are the products I've been using most often.

Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener (under eyes), Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover in Extra Fair (for blemishes)
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Benefit They're Real! (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Black Eye Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
Face Primer: Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory
Powder: Neutrogena Shine Control Powder
Bronzer: Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Matte Light
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Brown
Black/Brown Eye Liner: L'Oreal Colour Riche Eyeliner in Black/Brown

s. MAC Pure Zen Lipstick: Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle
t. MAC Wildly Lush Plush Glass: Wet 'n Wild Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Through the Looking Glass
u. Urban Decay Setting Spray: I used All Nighter by Urban Decay.
My Thoughts: This has fall colors all over the face. The eyes are coppery, the face is bronzed, and the lips are a glossy nude. The eyes really stand out. I think Cheryl is a good makeup artist. I just recently found her blog, and then saw that she made videos. I'm really loving her videos. She seems really humble and sweet. She is pregnant. She is absolutely gorgeous.

2. Smokey Fall Eye Look: Lorac Pro To-Go Palette! by ciaoobelllaxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQQZX6ceuM

n. Mascara
o. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, temples
p. Lorac Pro To-Go Palette Coral Blush: Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder in St. Lucia
q. NYX Nude Peach Fuzz
My Thoughts: The eyes are smoky. The cheeks and lips are peach. The eyes are the main focus.

3. Fall Smokey Eye Tutorial #2 Taupe by MakeupByCheryl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH1-Djwsji0
a. Moisturizer
b. Foundation
c. Eye Primer
d. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough As Taupe, eyelid
e. MAC Satin Taupe, eyelid: Covergirl Tapestry Taupe
f. MAC Soba, crease: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 2nd color
g. MAC Brun, outer v: L'Oreal Deep Mocha
h. MAC Carbon, outer v, top lash line: Wet 'n Wild Greed, 3rd color
i. MAC Vanilla, inner corner, under brow: Wet 'n Wild Lust, 4th color

r. The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer, top of cheekbones
s. MAC Subculture Lip Liner: Boots No.7 Nude Lip Liner
t. MAC Hue Lipstick: Maybelline Color Sensational Porcelains in Nude Nuances
u. Dior 001 Lip Gloss Maximizer: Wet 'n Wild Through The Looking Glass Lip Gloss
v. Urban Decay Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter
My Thoughts: This is a really pretty fall look. The eyes are a smoky taupe. The cheeks are a bronzed rose color, perfect for cold months. The lips are a glossy nude, so the eyes are the focus. I think I like it best when the eyes are the focus. When I'm not wearing much eye shadow I feel like I look tired, and also it is out of my comfort zone to wear bold lips.

4. Maybelline Fall 2013 Runway Collection: "Autumn Dream" Eyeshadow Palette, Swatches & Makeup Look by Beauty Gala http://www.beautygala.com/brands/maybelline-fall-2013-runway-collection-autumn-dream-eyeshadow-palette-swatches-makeup-look/
a. Using one side of a flat eyeshadow brush, apply the purple over entire lid.
b. Dip the other side of the brush in the blue, and pat on the outer half of lid.
c. Flip the brush over again and apply the purple where the two colors meet.
d. Keep flipping the brush back and forth with each color until you get a really nice blended gradient look.
e. She did the same effect to the lower lash line.
f. Apply the emerald green shade in the crease, and blend it out well with a fluffy blending brush.
g. Use the off white in the inner corners of eyes and browbone as a highlight.
h. Black Eye Liner to waterline
i. Mascara
My Thoughts: I like the colors in this quad because they are jewel tones and I heard that that is "in" this fall. It looks dramatic, but it is pretty. For blush I'm wearing Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso because I think the peach looks pretty with the purple eye makeup. For lips I'm wearing Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach to go with the blush, and it is a gloss so it doesn't take away from the dramatic eye look.

k. Brown Eye Liner, tightline, waterline
l. Same Palette, 4th color, waterline
m. Mascara
n. Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial
o. Wet 'n Wild Blush in Pearlescent Pink
My Thoughts: This is a pretty fall look. The eyes are fall inspired. The cheeks are a peachy pink. The lips are a mauve/pink. I like the tutorial because the person seems really down to earth and does a good job of showing what she is doing. I subscribed to her.

My Thoughts: I should have known better because this isn't the first time I used this eyeshadow, but when using w/w vanity 3rd color, be very careful because it is very pigmented. I put too much on. The eyes are pretty neutral. The blush is one of my favorite peachy pink colors. The lips are a beautiful color for the fall and winter time. The sugar plum lip butter is one of my favorite lip products.

Holiday Looks Part 3

Ok, I know the holidays have past, but there were so many great holiday looks I found in November and December! I don't want to stop trying these looks out. They are so pretty! And since I have been wearing them in January, I have found it doesn't matter that it is not the holidays, if the look is good, it will look good no matter when you wear it. So a lot of these looks have holiday in the title, but it doesn't have to be only for the holidays. I think these are pretty, winter looks in general. This is a continuation of the holiday looks I recorded in December.

Unless, I state in the look these are the products I wore with each look.

Face Primer: Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Illuminating Primer
Eye Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup SPF 10 in Shell
Concealer for under eyes: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory
Concealer for redness and pimples: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light
Powder: Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Bronzer/Contour: Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Medium Deep
Mascara for bottom lashes: Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black
Mascara for top lashes: The Balm What's Your Type? "The Body Builder" and when that was finished I've been using Covergirl Clump Crusher by Lashblast Waster Resistant in Very Black
Black Eye Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Black Gel Liner: Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Blackest Black
Red Lip Liner: Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Contouring Pencil in Red Dynamite

I first list what the makeup artist used, and if I used something different I listed what I used next to it. A lot of times I use products that are cheaper and are from the drugstore.

It's also a pin-up style look. I think this looks good even in January. The red and green are opposite colors on the color wheel, and they look really pretty together.

Office Look #5: Panacea81 Friday

This is the final office look of Panacea81: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjYfcz26diA I think this is pretty and natural. All of her looks for the office have turned out to be really wearable, easy, pretty, and natural looking. My face doesn't look like a mask at all.

1. Foundation
2. Bobbi Brown Stonewash palette in Nevajo from lashes to brow: I used Wet 'n Wild Palette in Vanity, top left color
3. Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Brumes, the dark brown color, half way across lash line wing it: I didn't have this eye shadow so I mixed a matte gray with a matte brown, L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eyeshadow in Sultry Smoke and Wet 'n Wild I Heart Matte Palette, the brown color.
4. Same color with a pencil brush on lower lash line
5. Black Eye Liner on waterline: I used a dark brown color instead.
6. Illamasqua Blush in Tremble: I used Maybelline Blush in Pinch O Pink.
7. Max Factor in Bewitching Coral Lipstick: I used Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Coral Reef

My Thoughts: I didn't do a wing because I just don't like the way a winged liner looks on me. Maybe I'm not doing it right for my eye shape.

Office Look #4: Panacea81 Thursday

Happy Mother's Day! Even though it's Sunday, I'm trying out my next office look. I really like this look. I think this one is my favorite so far. It's very easy and pretty. I got it from this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIgn19qO8Ec

1. Face Primer

2. Foundation

3. Eye Primer

4. Bare Minerals Cashmere: I used Mac Quarry.

5. L'Oreal HIP Duo in Energized, left side under brow bone: I feel like this color is too dark to wear under my brows, so I chose to wear Wet 'n Wild 8-Pan Palette in Comfort Zone, top left color.

6. Brown Liner on upper lash line with a tiny wing and lower lash line: I skipped the wing because I feel like the wings I do don't look good on me. Maybe if I had professional do it, they would know how to do it the best way for my eye shape.

7. Models Own Blush in pb003 into the temples: I used Milani's Baked Blush in Dolce Pink.

8. Mascara

9. Mac Mehr Lipstick: I used Bare Essentials Buxom Lip Gloss in Dolly

Office Look #3: Panacea81 Wednesday

This look was a little "crazy" for me. It involves purple liner wings and frosty pink lips. I'm not sure I like it. You can be the judge. In the mirror I thought it was a little cool toned for me, but in the photos it doesn't look that bad. This is where I found the tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B14kH1cWl1c

1. Foundation
2. Eye Primer
3. Stila Eyeshadow in Cloud on lid: I used Wet 'n Wild Palette in Sand Castle, the upper left corner shade.
4. Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Glitter Liner on the upper lash line: I used Jesse's Girl Kohl Eye Liner in Bourbon Street.
5. L'Oreal Glam Bronze Duo in Blonde outer corners of face: I used what I normally use to contour.
6. Mascara Primer
7. Mascara
8. Maybelline Dream Matte Blush No.7 on cheekbones: I used Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin
9. Natural Collection by Boots a light pink lipstick: I used Wet 'n Wild Mega Shield Lip Stick in Pink Champagne.
10. Rimmel Lip Gloss in 130 Take A Chance: I used Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Midnight Cowboy

Office Look #2: Panacea81 Tuesday

Hi! So this is my look I'm wearing today. I really like it. It is very simple to do and it looks natural. I copied it from Panacea81's Tuesday Office Look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCXl_P6rwLk

1. Foundation
2. Eye Primer
3. Bare Minerals Eye Shadow in Celeste on lid, blend it upward: I used L'Oreal HIP Studio Secrets Professional Metallic Shadow in Electrified, the left side
4. Benefit Eye Bright in the waterline: I used Pixi Eye Bright Liner in Nude
5. Mascara Primer
6. Mascara
7. Nars Copacabana on the cheekbones: I used Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral GLow Pearls in Translucent Pearl
8. L'Oreal Glam Bronze Duo Pink side on cheeks: I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural
9. L'Oreal Glam Shine Lip Gloss (She didn't know the color name. It was a pinky, pearly, peach color.) I used Revlon Colorburst in Peony


You can't see my eyes very well, but you can see how my cheeks have a nice natural blush to them and the lips have a pretty color.


You can better see the eyeshadow in this picture. It's just a sparkly taupe color.


My lips look so sad here. xD This is my serious face. Anyway, I think you can better see the lip gloss in this picture. It's just a really pretty, natural pinky/peach color. This is my favorite lip gloss I have.

I hope you like this look. Tell me what you wear to work.

Office Look #1: Panacea81 Monday

Panacea81 is another makeup guru that I love. She is from England, and has a really cute accent. She did a series of looks to wear for work. I got inspired and I'm duping her looks using my own cheap makeup. Most of it is inexpensive anyway. I also wanted to try other looks for work I found and liked on YouTube. I hope you like this series! The first look is Panacea81's Monday office look. She did a look for Monday through Friday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJelsT0rgAQ I will list what she used and then my dupe. If specifics aren't mentioned it's because I didn't take note of them. Just use what you would normally use, that's what I did.

1. She did concealer, powder, and then foundation. I did foundation, concealer, and then powder. I don't understand why she did it in the order she did it.

2. Eye Primer

3. Mac Vanilla Pigment on the lid: I used Wet 'n Wild Palette in Lust, top right color.

4. L'Oreal HIP in Charged on lower lash line: I used Wet 'n Wild Palette in Vanity, bottom, right color.

5. Black pencil on top lash line: I used a dark brown liner because I think black is too harsh on me.

6. Mascara

7. Mac Harmony contour the hollows of the cheeks and on the cheeks and temples: I used what I use to bronze. You can use whatever you normally would use. I use Mac Studio Careblend Pressed in Medium Deep. I got matched for a good contour shade at a Mac counter. The girl was really helpful and she used a powder rather than a bronzer because it was matte and she said it would work best with my ultra light skin.

8. Lumiere Cosmetics Bare Skin Radiance Powder on the forehead, temples, nose, chin, and cheeks: I used Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls in Translucent Pearls.

9. Maybelline lipgloss a pale biscuit colour with ivory and gold shimmer, She didn't know the name: I used Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Midnight Cowboy. Earlier in the morning I used my new Birchbox lip tint called fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, so I think that's why my lips look so rosy in the picture. It isn't from the lip gloss. The lip gloss is more of a sheer nude sparkly color.

My Thoughts: It's really easy. It looks natural and pretty. I found it weird how she put bronzer on her cheeks and temples and put the highlighter there too, but it ends up looking good.


As you can see the look is super natural. I think it looks pretty though. I don't look like I have a mask of makeup on. You can kind of see the dark brown color on my lower lash line. My lid color is nude. What do you think? What do you wear to work? I work at a school, so this look seems appropriate. I'm going to be at recess today and it will be hot, sunny weather. I think this will be good. I'm bringing my contour and lip gloss to touch up during the day.
