Summer Favorite Makeup Looks Part 2


Here is my favorite summer makeup looks part 2! I have a lot of looks to try out this summer. I'm so excited to be done with work and have a vacation. I look at that picture and I long to go to the beach. I should book a hotel pretty soon because before long places get booked up. I love the Oregon beach. I would live there if I could.

These are the products I used in most every look and/or if I didn't mentioned what I wore. I don't want to write the same thing for every look, that's why I just say it once. I include this list in case anyone wants recommendations on a product to try out.

Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant (under eyes), Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light (pimples), Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory (under eyes, and on eyes, as a highlighter)
Bronzer: MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Medium Deep
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof in Very Black (top lashes), Covergirl Lash Perfection in Very Black (on top of The Rocket), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Black Eye Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Face Primer: Pixi Flawless & Poreless Face Primer in Translucent, NYX Shine Killer, X Out Shine Control
Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup SPF 10 in Desert Beige, Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin in Ivory (my skin has been getting more oily)
Powder: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Light or Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent or Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder Foundation in Translucent Light (I keep this in my purse and use it with a sponge to touch up during the day if needed.)
Lip Balm: Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 in Quenched
Brown Gel Liner: Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Brown
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Brown
Blotting Papers: Hard Candy Blotting Papers
White Eye Liner: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
Nude Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude
Eyebrows: Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in Light

In my tutorial list I include what the makeup artist used, unless it is foundation or something that I feel like is personal preference. Then I say where they used it, unless it is personal preference. I like to say where they put highlighter and bronzer because sometimes I forget or I like different ideas. Then I list what I used to dupe the makeup. Sometimes I use what the makeup artist used, in that case I don't say anything. You will see I will usually use a cheaper product. Sometimes it's not an exact dupe, but it is a similar color. I try to use what is already in my makeup collection. You can have an idea of a cheaper alternative, if that is what you want or you can use what you have that is similar to the makeup artist or what I used.

1. Summer Rose Bridal Look by Lisa Eldridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbt-cxk6eag
a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Daniel Sandler Watercolor Blush in Cherub: NYX Stick Blush in Tulip
d. Powder
e. Rimmel London Color Mousse 005 Glitz, eyelid: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
f. Grey Eye Liner, upper lash line: Revlon Color Stay Eye Liner in Charcoal
g. Mascara
h. Lip Balm
i. L'Oreal Infallible Lip Liner 708 Always Toasted, fill in lips: Boots No.7 Lip Liner in Nude
j. Estee Lauder Double Wear Lipstick 03 Stay Pink Berry: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon
My Thoughts: I think it's good for a hot day because of the cream blush and eyeshadow. It is supposed to last longer that way. If I remember right, Lisa Eldridge used Revlon Pink in the Afternoon Lipstick when she did her Audrey Hepburn look. After seeing that tutorial I had to run out and buy it. It is now one of my favorite lipsticks. It is a pretty pink with yellow undertones.

2. Summer Full Face Tutorial by Melmphs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EBIQKDaXZI
a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Under Eye Corrector, she put this in a triangle under the eyes: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener
d. Powder
e. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, temples, hair line, sides of nose, chin, neck, jaw
f. Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Flushed, use with a stippling brush and pat it on
g. Elf Blush in Pink Passion
h. Wet 'n Wild Fergie in Center Stage Collection To Reflect Shimmer Palette in Rose Champagne Glow, top of cheekbones, down the nose, brow bone, cupid's bow
i. Revlon Color Stay Palette in Attitude, lightest shade, browbone
j. Same Palette, bottom left color and upper right color, crease
k. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded, eyelid, inner corner
l. NYX Roll On Shimmer Eye Shadow in Salmon, eyelid, take an eye shadow brush and pat it in
m. Revlon Attitude Palette, bottom right color, outer v (may need to watch video)
n. Same Palette, bottom left and top right, blend it out and up, see video
o. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horseradish, lower lash line: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald
p. Black Eye Liner, waterline, tightline
q. Wet 'n Wild Going in the Wild Palette, mint color, lower lash line
r. Brown Gel Liner, top lashes
s. Mascara
t. NYX Lip Liner in Sand Pink: NYX Lip Liner in Nude Pink
u. Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in Doll House Pink
v. Maybelline High Shine Lip Gloss in Punch of Pink: Wet 'n Wild Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Through the Looking Glass
My Thoughts: I like how this was drugstore makeup. I had most of what she used. I watched the video and used the same brushes as her, but I didn't do the outer v part correctly. It looks too dark, and I am having trouble blending it out. Maybe it's because I'm wearing an eye primer and she's not. Also, she has a darker skin complexion than me. It looks like a lot of makeup. I'm not sure I like it yet. I'm afraid my face will melt off during the hot day. It is pretty. It's just a lot more makeup than I'm used to wearing. The darkest color went outside of the invisible line between the end of the eye and the end of the eyebrow, so I got some tissue and makeup remover and cleaned it up. Then I took a fluffy brush and blended out the sharp edge of the dark shadow.

3. e Glow Makeup Collab with BeautyMoxie by rachelectric http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oBWdmcsqm4
a. Foundation
b. Concealer (Maybelline Dream Lumi in my skin color), see video, triangles under eyes, forehead, nose, cupid's bow, chin. Then she blends it out with a beauty blender.
c. Bare Minerals Well Rested, she sets concealer: I skipped this step.
d. Powder
e. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, temples, hair line, nose, jaw
f. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
g. Lorac Perfectly Lit Powder in Spotlight, top of cheekbones, down the nose, cupid's bow, forehead: Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana
h. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eye Shadow Stick in Bad Girl Bronze, eyelids, blend it out with finger
i. L'Oreal Color Riche in Brazen Bolds What Happens in Vegas, 2nd color to the bottom, crease: Wet 'n Wild Eye Shadow Trio in Flora, orange color
j. L'Oreal Infallible Endless Pearl, underbrow: Wet 'n Wild I Heart Matte Palette, beige color (It is also called "Drinking a Glass of Shine.")
k. L'Oreal What Happens in Vegas Palette, bottom color, outer crease: Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals, 5th color
l. Same Palette, 2nd to bottom color, add more to the crease: Wet 'n Wild Flora, orange color
m. Same Palette, 2nd color from top, tear ducts: Sephora Cinderella Palette in A Wish
n. Brown Eye Liner, top and bottom lash lines
o. L'Oreal What Happens in Vegas Palette, bottom color, with a q-tip she blends out the bottom lash line: Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals, 5th color
p. Mascara
q. Maybelline Color Whisper (I don't know the name of what she used.) It looks like a peachy pink color. I used Maybelline Color Whisper in Pinup Peach. This looks like the color she used.
My Thoughts: I really like this look. Peach lips and cheeks, and a brown eye. The orange in the crease makes it look summery. Her routine for the face really made my face look nice. I first used NYX Shine Killer to help with shine during the hot day. I have combination skin.

4. Drugstore Waterproof Makeup by Macbarbie07 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm2tGpCkHQk
a. BB Cream
b. Waterproof Concealer
c. Powder
d. Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Not Just Nudes, 2nd color, eyelid
e. Same Palette, 3rd color, crease
f. Same Palette, 4th color, outer lid close to upper lash line
g. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple, lower lash line
h. Mascara, only top lashes
i. NYX Cream Blush in Tickled: NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Plaza Pink
j. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in Rendezvous
My Thoughts: I love how this is waterproof and I like the colors. I have almost all the products too. I used foundation instead of bb cream because it lasts longer and doesn't look shiny on me. The Maybelline Color Tattoo stayed and so did the Revlon Lip Stain, but not the Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows.

5. Too Faced Loves Sephora 15 Years of Beauty Palette Makeup Tutorial by gottalovemel105 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR08bm9C2kU
a. Eye Primer
b. MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, all over eye: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Not Just Nudes, 1st color
c. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Cool Crush, eyelid, blend it out
d. Too Faced Loves Sephora 15 Years of Beauty Palette, David and Marg, eyelid, blend it out: Maybelline Eye Studio in Sea Sprite, 3rd color
e. Same Palette, Behind the Counter, crease: The Balm Nude'tude Palette in Sophisticated
f. Same Palette, Piano Keys, browbone, tearduct: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 1st color

j. Brown Eye Liner, lower lash line
k. Urban Decay Hustle, lower lash line: Elf Day to Night, 2nd color
l. Mascara
m. Same Palette, Who's Your Poppy? Blush: Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
n. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, jaw, nose, temples
o. Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki, top of cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow
p. MAC Lipstick in Peachstock: Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight
My Thoughts: The white in the waterline with the dark brown on the lower lash line is dramatic. It draws attention to the eyes, and makes them look bigger. I like the color of the blush with the color from Sea Sprite on the eyelid. I like the overall look. I hope it lasts in the heat. I touch up on break with blotting paper, powder, lip balm, and lipstick. The Rimmel Lipstick in Nude Delight is very pretty. It's the perfect nude lipstick for me.

6. Summer/Vacation Neutral Party Makeup! Complete Look by LoveMelisaMichelle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtcLqnOfze4
a. Lip Balm
b. Concealer, forehead, chin to highlight
c. Powder
d. Laura Geller Balance and Brighten in Tan (like a foundation for her)
e. Curl Lashes
f. Eye Primer
g. Concealer on Eyelid
h. NYX Matte Eye Shadow in Maybe Later, crease: Wet 'n Wild Nude Awakenings, 3rd color
i. Lorac Pro Palette in Sable, outer half of crease: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 6th color
j. Same Palette, Espresso, outer corner, outer v, pencil brush: Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals, 5th color
k. L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Strawberry Blonde, eyelid
l. Urban Decay Bootycall, inner corner: Wet 'n Wild Lust, 4th color
m. Black Liquid Liner, top lashes
n. Mascara
o. Lorac Pro Palette in Sable, lower lash line: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 6th color
p. Same Palette, Nude and Champagne, inner corner, highlight again: Wet 'n Wild Trio in Fauna, browbone color, and Hard Candy Baked Eye Shadow in High Maintenance, lighter color
q. Nude Liner, waterline
r. NYX Blush in Peach: Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed
s. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, forehead, jaw, sides of nose
t. Laura Geller Balance and Brighten in Portofino, top of cheekbones, nose: Wet 'n Wild Fergie Center Stage Collection in Rose Champagne Glow Shimmer Palette
u. Urban Decay, Virgin, under brow: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 1st color
v. Maybelline Color Whisper in Petal Rebel: Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake
w. NYX Butter Gloss in Merengue: Elf Shimmer Gloss in Very Berry
My Thoughts: There are a lot of steps, but it is all easy to do. Don't be overwhelmed! It's a lot of products in the inner corner! My favorite highlight for the inner corner was Hard Candy's High Maintenance. I prefer to put just one shadow in the inner corner. This is my first time using the Elf Shimmer Gloss. I love it! It smells so good, like fruit. It is also very beautiful. I got it in a pack of four at either Walgreens or Big Lots (I don't remember). I remember it was a good deal. It came with Very Berry, Pink Princess, Citrus Chic, and Ruby Red. I really like this look. It is the perfect summer face. The pink eye shadow is beautiful. I didn't know how I would like it, but it goes really nicely with the brown shadows. I didn't know if the look would be good on me because Melissa Michelle (the girl making the video) has completely different coloring than me. She is very tan with black hair and brown eyes. But the look looks good on me too, so I'm really pleased.

7. Pink Lemonade: Summer Makeup Tutorial MakeupMAYhem Day 12 by AllThatGlitters21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BavbyCE00JA
a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Powder
d. Bronzer, cheekbones, temples
e. Estee Lauder Jelly Blush in Tease Illuminating Powder Gelee Blush: NYC Color Wheel in Pink Cheek Glow
f. MAC Painterly Paint Pot: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow in Not Just Nudes
g. Stila in the Light Palette, Kitten, eyelid: L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eyeshadow in Iced Latte
h. Same Palette, Bliss, outer corner, crease: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 2nd color
i. Same Palette, Sunset, outer corner, just a little bit: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 2nd color
j. Same Palette, Bare, highlight under brows: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 1st color
k. Same Palette, Bubbly, lower lash line: Elf Beauty Book Bright Eye Edition, 3rd row, 1st shade
l. Same Palette, 2 dark brown colors to the left of the blue color, upper lash line: Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals, top row, 3rd color with Wet 'n Wild Shimmer the Night Away, 3rd color
m. Mascara
n. MAC Lip Pencil in Silly, line and fill in lips: Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Pure
o. MAC Dazzleglass Creme in If It's Pink: Myglam Glam Gloss in 02
My Thoughts: When I did the upper lash line colors, I first took a deep gray color and lined my top lash line, then I tried to take a gold color and go over the line, but it didn't show up that well. It still looks good with just the dark gray. I didn't have a dark gray with gold in it. This look is really pretty. It looks like a summery look to me. The lips are bold, but I think it looks ok on me. I used the Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in Light for the first time. I used a light hand because I didn't want to make a mistake on my brows. I tried to make it look natural. I used the angled brush that comes in the kit.

8. Dreamy Summer by bubzbeauty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=323Y7dAo9bQ
a. Concealer
b. CC Cream
c. Powder
d. Eye Primer
e. Reddish Brown, Max Factor Trio Eye Shadow 02, eyelid: Sephora Cinderella Palette in Chateau
f. Urban Decay Virgin, under brow: Wet 'n Wild Lust, 4th color
g. Black Eye Liner, make dots along upper lash line, smudge it out
h. Black Eye Liner, tight line, waterline
i. Brown Eye Liner, lower lash line, smudge it out
j. Gold Eyeshadow in tearducts, lower lash line part: Maybelline Enchanted Forest, gold color
k. Mascara
l. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks up and backward to hair line, jawline, temples
m. Line and Fill in lips with a natural shade lip liner: Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses in Spice
n. Dior Addict Lipstick in Tokyo: Maybelline Color Whisper in Pinup Peach
My Thoughts: I like the look, except she doesn't say what blush she uses or maybe she didn't wear any blush. I'm going to wear Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso.

9. Too Faced Cosmetics Purple Makeup Tutorial by gottalovemel105 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h837nPCT7Cw
a. Eye Primer, and put it on the lower lash line too
b. MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot, lashes to brow: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Not Just Nudes, 1st color
c. Too Faced Loves Sephora 15 Years of Beauty Palette, Soho, inner half of eyelid: Elf 100 Eye Shadows Palette, 6th row, 8th column color
d. Same Palette, 1998, outer half of lid: Wet 'n Wild Shimmer the Night Away, 6th and 7th color mixed
e. Blend it out in the crease
f. Same Palette, Envy, crease: Wet 'n Wild Petal Pusher, 4th color
g. Same Palette, Behind the Counter, to blend out harsh purple line in the crease: The Balm Nude'tude in Sophisticated (I recommend skipping this step.)
h. Same Palette, Piano Keys, highlight on brow bone: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 1st color
i. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line
j. Nude Eye Liner, waterline
k. Maybelline Khaki Eye Pencil, lower lash line, smudge it out: Pixiglow Straight On Til Morning Liner in 2nd Star Twinkle
l. Urban Decay Darkhorse, lower lash line: L'Oreal HIP Duo in Dynamic, right color
m. Mascara
n. Same Palette, Piano Keys, tear duct: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 1st color
o. Bronzer, hair line, hollows of cheeks, jaw, nose
p. Same Palette, Who's Your Poppy? (blush that comes in palette): Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
q. Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki, sides of eyes, top of cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow
r. Maybelline Porcelain Pink Lipstick: Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Frosting (I don't recommend this lip butter. It looks like a lip balm.)
My Thoughts: I would skip the Nude'tude Sophisticated in the crease. I feel like I ruined the look by doing this. It looks better with just purples. Blend out the purple in the crease with just a clean brush. Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Frosting looks like lip balm on my lips. It's not a good dupe for her lipstick. Overall, I think this look is so pretty. I love the purple on the eyes and peach on the cheek. The eyes really stand out. Since the days are hotter, my face has gotten more oily, so I am having to switch foundations. My foundation I'm using now is Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin in Ivory. It is weird because not too long ago I was using Revlon Colorstay for Normal/Dry Skin because my skin couldn't even tolerate the other foundation on. My skin is definitely a combination. It needs to make up it's mind!

10. Fresh Summer Makeup Tutorial by amarixe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7c6gHRVjMI
a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Powder
d. Dior Nude Tan Paradise Duo in Coral Glow, contour, temples, jaw: I used my bronzer.
e. Same Palette, mix together as a blush: Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Hot Flash mixed with Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Sunset (use a stippling brush!)
f. Dior Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond, eyelid: L'Oreal 24 HR Infallible Eye Shadow in Amber Rush
g. Same Palette, light iridescent white, tearduct, brow bone: Elf Brightening Eye Color in Ethereal, 1st color
h. Mascara
i. Dior Amber Diamond highlight top of cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow: Elf Golden Bronzer, lightest box
j. Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
My Thoughts: If I could do it over again, I would have used a stippling brush for the blush. I put way too much on. This look has orange tones for the eyes, cheeks, and lips. It looks really summery. I think it is pretty for a redhead. I'm loving it. I feel like a beautiful peach! xD

 If you try out a look, please leave a comment below! I would love to get some feedback on what you think of the looks I like. Did you like them? Did they look good on you? What is your favorite summer look? I love getting comments! I hope you are having a great summer!

Cute and Cheap Midi Rings!

I heard about midi rings from watching some haul videos from England. I don't remember who said it, but she said she would get toe rings and use them as midi rings. I think this is such a cute trend. I found a bunch at Walmart the other day. I had trouble picking which ones I wanted, so I ended up getting a bunch.




This one is hard to see, but they are gold rings. The top ring has a heart, which I think is so cute. And one of the middle ones has a bell dangling off the ring.



This picture doesn't show them well, but these have little bows on them.


I like the bottom ring because they look like studs on your fingers.



I wish the pictures came out better. I think this is a cute trend. Some of the rings have colored gems in them, it's hard to see in my pictures. But they are only $3.88 at Walmart. They have flower designs, butterflies, and stars. I just wanted to share with you. Hope you have a nice, sunny day!

Summer Perfume

I have done a summer perfume post before: http://beautydiversion.blogspot.com/search/label/summer%20perfume. It was September of last year. I still have those perfumes, but throughout the year I've added to my collection. Some are little samples I've gotten, some are body sprays, and some are lotions. I wanted to show you my "new" summer fragrances. I found out last year there were different fragrance notes that go with each season. That is why some people say they want their perfume to go with the season. I thought that was interesting, so I researched and I came up with the notes that supposedly go with Summer. I added Rio Berry because it was with the Spring/Summer collection of Bath and Body Works, and Peaches and Cream because peaches are ripe in the Summer. Also, Love Spell has peach as one of it's notes. Based on the notes is how I figured out which of my fragrances are "summer scents."

These are the notes of Summer:
1. Rose
2. Orange Blossoms
3. Raspberry
4. Peach
5. Honeysuckle
6. Island Flowers
7. Sea Salt

Also, last year I learned the different places to place perfume. One of the places was to spray it in the hair. Well, I just learned this year that you actually shouldn't do that. It's not good for your hair, unless it is a product made for the hair. So I have been not doing the hair trick anymore.

These are the best places to put your fragrance:
1. Behind knees
2. Wrists (don't rub them together)
3. Chest
4. Behind ears
5. Insides of elbows
6. Spritz in the air and walk through
7. Between breasts
8. Neck


1. Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea (was a Christmas present)
2. Viva La Juicy La Fleur
3. Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline
4. MCMC Phoenix
5. Coach Poppy (red)
6. Joie Folle de Joie eau de parfum
7. Juicy Couture Couture
8. Sage + Fasten Common Sense
9. Bath and Body Works Country Chic (was a Christmas present)
10. Bath and Body Works Body Spray in Bali Mango
11. Bath and Body Works Body Spray in Twilight
12. Bath and Body Works Body Spray in Rio Rumberry
13. Philosophy Lotion in Peaches and Cream
14. Victoria Secret Body Lotion in Love Spell

What is your favorite perfume/body spray/lotion to wear in the Summer?

Summer Favorite Makeup Looks Part 1



This year I've been looking at older tutorials and duping them. I found a lot of beautiful looking summer tutorials that I noted down to try out for the summer time. As I'm writing this it is still May, and where I live it is pretty rainy and cold. It doesn't feel like summer yet, but I'm so ready for it! I work at a school, so I get the summer off. I can't wait for no work and sunshine! I'm going to start wearing my summer makeup looks already! These looks may be older, but they still look pretty. I only post the looks that I think look good. If I try a look that I don't like I don't bother to mention it on my blog. I hope you like the looks I picked out! I'm doing this ten at a time, so there will be several summer time posts. I found a lot of looks!

This is what I use for each look, if I don't mention it in the tutorial:
Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant (under my eyes), Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light (pimples)
Bronzer: MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Medium Deep
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof in Very Black (top lashes), Covergirl Lash Perfection in Very Black (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
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Face Primer: Pixi Flawless & Poreless Face Primer in Translucent
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory, Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup SPF 10 in Desert Beige
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent

1. Summer Holiday Makeup by PixiwooMadness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv2D8iJ3eAM
a. BB Cream
b. Concealer
c. Avon Glimmer Stick Chrome in Mocha Flash, eyelid, buff over it so it blends into the eye: Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Cafe Gold
d. MAC Reflects Antique Gold on top of lid: Milani Drenched in Gold
e. Avon Glimmer Chrome, under the eye and waterline, buff it underneath
f. Mascara
g. Powder
h. Ben Nye Cream Blush in Guava: NYX Cream Blush in Glow
i. Illamasqua Lies on top of cheekbones, brow bone: Boots No.7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion
j. MAC Lip Pencil Lasting Sensation Color fill in lip: L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lip Liner in Coral
k. Collection 2000 Passion Fruit 05: Wet 'n Wild Lip Stick in Salsa Lessons

2. Los Cabos Coral - Summer Makeup by AllThatGlitters21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRyp3ZOXmyg
a. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Gold, eyelid: Maybelline Tattoo in Bold Gold
b. MAC Melon Pigment, eyelid: 2nd shade in Wet 'n Wild Greed
c. Coastal Scents pink/coral inner half of lid: Bare Minerals Blush in Joyous Jennifer
d. Coastal Scents orange, outer half, blending two colors together: Wet 'n Wild Fergie Photo Op Eye Shadow Palette in Desert Festival, upper right color
e. Coastal Scents hot pink, outer crease, outer corner: Maybelline Expert Wear Blush in Pinch O Pink
f. MAC Rule, crease: Wet 'n Wild Flora
g. MAC Motif, tearduct: Sephora Cinderella Palette in Gus Gus with Wet 'n Wild Lust 1st color
h. MAC Rice Paper, under brow: 4th shade in Wet 'n Wild Vanity
i. Coastal Scents brown with black in crease very lightly, blend it out: Wet 'n Wild Baked Not Fried, top left color
j. MAC Raven Eye Pencil, waterline, upper lash line: Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Deep Plum
k. NARS Multiple Orgasm Blush: Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin
l. MAC Prrr Lip Gloss: Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Peony
My Thoughts: The eyes were hard for me. I kept having to get eye makeup remover and start over. I messed up with the black brown color in the crease. I put too much on, so I had to redo the crease. When I put the eyeliner on, I messed up with that so I had to get eye makeup remover to make the line more clean. This erased the eye shadow on the lid, so I had to redo that. Now that I am finished I can see it looks good, but I'm not going to pretend like it was easy. Hopefully, if you do this look you will have better luck! Don't forget mascara! The colors actually look pretty with my red hair.

3. Summer Makeup Look Under $25 - Drugstore by AllThatGlitters21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ru6g6hBEDs
a. Covergirl Shimmering Sands, middle color all over the lid
b. Same Palette, lightest color, inner corner
c. Same Palette, darkest color, crease
d. Styli Twilight, top lashes and waterline: Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Eye Liner in Deep Blue
e. Mascara
f. Almay Smart Shade Blush in Berry: Elf Maleficent Beauty Book Night Time Cheek and Lip Pencil
g. Jordana Squeeze 'n Shine in Strawberry Icing: Elf Super Glossy Lip Gloss in Cherry
My Thoughts: Be careful with the cheek and lip pencil. That thing is pigmented! I like this look. It's really easy. And I like that it is drugstore.

4. August Neutrals by AllThatGlitters21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwjc4UcOJ70
a. MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot, from lashes to brows: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow in Not Just Nudes, 2nd color (I just put it on the eyelid and crease.)
b. MAC Motif, all over lid: Sephora Cinderella Palette in Gus Gus with Wet 'n Wild Lust, 1st color
c. MAC Rice Paper, over lid: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 4th shade
d. MAC Soft Brown and MAC Saddle, crease: Wet 'n Wild Vanity 3rd color, and Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals 2nd color
e. MAC Espresso, crease just a little bit: 5th shade in Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals
f. Blend it all out.
g. MAC Brulee under brows: Wet 'n Wild Brûlée
h. MAC Antiqued, underneath the eye: 5th shade in Wet 'n Wild Sand Castle (red color)
i. Black Pencil Liner upper lash line, smudge it out, waterline
j. Mascara
k. MAC Smooth Merge Mineralized Skin Finish: Laura Geller Blush-n-Brighten in Berry
l. MAC Spring Bean Lip Gloss: Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy
My Thoughts: This is a pretty natural look. Wet 'n Wild need to bring back Sand Castle. It's an old palette they used to have. It comes with 8 shadows. It is so beautiful. They also need to make the palettes with 6 eyeshadows permanent, like Lust, Vanity, Greed, and Pride. I use those all the time. I'm so glad I got them when they were for sale. I had no idea how much I would use them to copy looks.

My Thoughts: The Barely Beige I don't think goes on very well over the Milani Eye Primer. It looks patchy. Maybe my skin is too dry. I think I look better with eyeshadow, but it looks ok because my eyelashes look good. I have two different mascaras on my top lashes today. I have The Rocket on first and then Covergirl Lash Perfection on top. I saw someone do this in a video and it really made the lashes pop. It did for me too. I forgot how much I love the Plaza Pink Cheek color. It is such a pretty peachy pink. This look is really simple and pretty for the summer.

May Favorites

This month was so long! I'm excited to get to write about my May favorites!

Favorite Movie: The Great Gatsby


I have been wanting to see this movie ever since I first saw the trailer in the movie theater back in 2012. I love Leonardo Dicaprio. I think he is an amazing actor. I have had a crush on him since I was in high school and he played Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. I have heard some people complain the movie is not like the book, but I have read the book three times and I think they did an excellent job bringing the book to life. The director is amazing. He did Moulin Rouge. It is visually stunning. I also liked the music. I saw a trailer for The Lone Ranger and I'm excited for when that movie comes out.

Favorite Book: Crossed by Ally Condie


This is the second book in the Matched Trilogy. In this book the main character from the first book, Cassia runs away to find the boy she loves. The book alternates between her telling the story and the boy. So it is interesting to see the different points of view. This book is more like an adventure than the first book. It is also sadder than the first book. It ends so you want to read the third book. I really have been enjoying this trilogy.

Favorite Nail Polishes: I had a lot of favorites this month!


1. Elf Nail Polish in Coral Dream: This came in a set of 4 nail polishes. This color is so pretty. I also like cap because it makes it easy to hold the brush when you are applying the nail polish.


2. Essie Nail Lacquer in First Timer: I heard a lot about this nail polish on Youtube. People were raving about it. I normally don't wear green nail polish, but this has a mint color to it. I really like it.


3. OPI Nail Lacquer in You're Such a Budapest: I heard a lot about this on Youtube, too. I decided to wear this on my toes. It looked good with blue jeans. OPI has a great formula.


4. Essie Nail Lacquer in Under Wear? This is also from the Resort Collection 2013, just like First Timer. These are limited edition for the summer. I absolutely love this nail polish! It reminds me when I first got a manicure and I asked the lady doing my nails to pick the color that would be best for me, and she picked a color like this. I haven't been able to find that color again until now. It is very flattering with my coloring, I think.


5. Jordana Glitters Nail Polish in Cosmic and Wet 'n Wild Fergie Nail Color in Mermaid Curves: It is hard to see this polish. It is a bunch of different size teal glitters. I put the Jordana one on first and the glitters are really big, so there were spaces on the nails that had no glitter. I had the Wet 'n Wild one which has teal glitters but they were small, so I just put that on top. Teal is my favorite color. It matched my flip flops. I'm sorry the picture doesn't show the glitters that well.


6. Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Celeb City: I have this on my ring finger. It has lasted for so long! The rest of my nails are in a turquoise color. I repainted them because they looked too light. I saw someone on Youtube with their nails in turquoise and their ring fingers in a foil with glitter top coat. She had an expensive foil nail polish. I found this one by Sally Hansen and it worked so nicely. I really recommend it. It isn't limited edition.


7. Milani Nail Lacquer in Silver: I put this on top of my ring fingers. This is a chunky, silver glitter. It is so pretty! I feel very posh with this on my nails.

Other Beauty Favorites:


1. Milani Eye Shadow Primer: I heard about this on Youtube, and I felt like everyone was sent this and so I wasn't really happy about this. When everyone is sent something and they all like it, it makes me feel like it is just getting a lot of hype, but it's not necessarily a good product. You know? I don't know why I finally decided to get it. Maybe I was just curious. Oh my gosh! This product really does work! And I have oily eyelids! My shadows don't crease with this! This works better than Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion! I'm so glad I found this because it is cheaper and at the drugstore.


2. Pixi Flawless & Poreless Face Primer in Translucent: I saw this on someone's monthly favorites blog post. I like to try different primers. This I got at Target. It works really nicely. Pixi is expensive though, so that is the only down side.


3. Tresemme Tres Two Hair Spray Ultra Fine Mist: I ran out of my usual hair spray, so I went on Makeup Alley to see the reviews for the best hair spray. This got a lot of ratings and a lot of good reviews, so I decided to get it. This makes your head like a helmet! Your hair is not going to move at all! I love it.


4. Victoria Secret Body Wash in Such A Flirt: I heard about this through someone's Youtube monthly favorite video. She said she couldn't wait to take showers because she loved this body wash so much! For some reason that made me very curious. I had seen other people with Victoria Secret body washes, and I had never tried it before. I have a lotion, which smells so good and I love the formula. So I guessed it would smell good and be good quality. This is in the scent starfruit and white orchid. It has aloe vera and the antioxidant Vitamin E. This is a great body wash. I don't feel like rushing to take a shower or anything! I would get a Victoria Secret Body Wash again. The only problem is it is expensive. I feel like you can get just as good of body washes at the drugstore.


5. Physicians Formula BB Cream in light/medium: I heard people talk about this and again I was curious. I have never found a bb cream that I liked. This got good reviews from people. I do like this, but I think my face has turned more oily now that it is getting warmer. So I have to go back to wearing my Estee Lauder foundation. This had good coverage for me though. I just didn't like to have to keep on putting on powder.


6. One 'n Only Argan Oil: I got a new hair straightener. It came with this little bottle of argan oil. Wow! This stuff really works! It makes my hair smooth and straight. It eliminates the frizz. I put it on when my hair is wet. It smells really good too. You can get this at Sally's Beauty Supply Store.




7. Urban Decay Mariposa Palette: I did a blog post about this palette. http://beautydiversion.blogspot.com/2013/05/urban-decay-mariposa-palette-looks.html
I love the Urban Decay eye shadows! These are my favorite shadows I own. They are so pigmented and they come in a beautiful selection of colors. I'm so happy to finally have my hands on them.




8. The Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette: I just realized Matt looks like my psychologist! lol! xD How weird! I love that these are neutral colors and that they are matte. This is a good palette to have in your makeup collection. I will be using this palette often, I think. I did a blog post on this: http://beautydiversion.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-balm-meet-matte-nude-eyeshadow.html


9. Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo in Fall Fight: This is supposed to help damaged hair, so you don't have falling, breaking hair. It has energizing caffeine, fortifying biotin, and fruit vitamins. I also have been using the conditioner, which I mentioned in another monthly favorites. You massage this into your scalp. My hair still breaks and falls out, so I don't know if this is working. But maybe I have less hair falling out and breaking. It smells really good and my hair looks good when I use this. If this doesn't work, I will have to start using Rogaine for Women, I think. I don't want to go bald! My dad is bald and sometimes I'm afraid that is what will happen to me, but my mom has beautiful hair, so hopefully I will have more of her genes. I just need to take care of my hair.


10. Vaseline Lip Therapy: This is such a cute tiny container compared to the large tub of Vaseline I am used to. I use this on chapped lips and it works really good.


11. Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Single in Brûlée: This is a dupe for MAC's Brûlée. It is a matte, cream shade that matches my skin color. I like to use it as a brow highlight or in my tear duct.

Favorite Songs: It's really hard for me to list my favorite songs because I love music, and every day I hear songs that I like. I tried to keep a list this month of all the songs I was loving on the radio. Whenever I heard one I liked I wrote it down in a little notebook I keep in my car. This is the list of songs I came up with. They are all different genres of music. Some are old, some are new. If you haven't heard of one, you should look it up and listen to it. You might find a new song you like!

1. Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees

Colors of the Rainbow TAG


I saw the most beautiful rainbow yesterday on my drive home. The sky had dark blue clouds, and the rainbow was bright against the sky. For some reason I don't notice rainbows very often. When I saw this it made me so happy!

There is this rainbow tag going on in Youtube land, and I have been watching some of the videos and it looked like a fun tag to do. I think you are supposed to pick one item for each color of the rainbow. I couldn't pick just one color. I put things into groups based on the color. These are some of my favorite things.

Here are some links to some Youtube videos of the tag:

Urban Decay Mariposa Palette Looks

This is the last palette I got in the Hautelook.com sale. It is the Urban Decay Mariposa Palette. Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish. Originally it costs $39, but I got it for only $19! Here's what it looks like:




It has the most beautiful eye shadows I own. Also, it comes with a little brush that is the perfect size for putting eyeshadow in the tearduct. I found only a few looks on Youtube using this palette. One of the people I subscribe to (and she subscribes to my blog), got this palette and asked her subbies what colors they wanted her to use in a look. I commented my choice, and I didn't think anything would come from it. But she did a look and said it was for me! I was so excited! So one of these looks was created just for me! It is by Gottalovemel105. So that was very sweet. I can't wait to try out the look.

These are the products I used for each look:
BB Cream: Physicians Formula Super BB Cream in light/medium
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent
Eye Primer: Milani Eye Shadow Primer
Mascara: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof in Very Black (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)

p. MAC Costa Chic Lipstick: Wet 'n Wild Lipstick in Within These Adobe Walls
q. MAC Tour De Fabulous: Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Bellini
My Thoughts: I don't normally wear grays on my eyes, so I wasn't sure about this look at first, but I think it does bring out my eyes and it looks good. I thought the cheeks were too dark, but I put powder over them, so be careful about that. The lips are my favorite peachy pink color. I don't know why she put liquid liner over gel liner. I skipped that step.

This is a great palette. It has a lot of dark colors. I think my favorite palette out of all the ones I got is the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette. I'm so happy to finally own Urban Decay shadows. I will probably use them to dupe future looks. If I do I will include a dupe of the Urban Decay shadow that is less expensive, if I know of one.
