Duping Nars Kauai | Makeup Tutorial

I'm on a role making Youtube videos! Probably a lot of people aren't going to see them, but that's ok. It is just a fun thing for me to do. If you want to see me doing this tutorial you can go here: Part 1: Duping Nars Kauai | Makeup Tutorial and Part 2: Duping Nars Kauai | Makeup Tutorial.

If you are wondering the reason why I keep wearing the same shirt, it is because I am in my pajamas! lol! I always put on my makeup before I get dressed in the morning. My hair isn't done either! I am keeping it real!

June Favorites!

This was a good month for me. It is nice to have vacation now. I like how the weather has been mostly sunny here. I hate how the weather has such an effect on me, but I know that I am happier since the sun has been out. I hope you enjoy my June favorites. What were your favorites this month?

1. Equate Walmart Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Ultra Protection Sunscreen Lotion: The sunscreen I was using before was making my skin peel! I thought it was because I had a sunburn, but it didn't make sense. I decided to try a different sunblock, and I asked a lady I work with for a recommendation. She says she uses the Walmart brand, and that it was recommended by Consumer Reports as being one of the best sunblocks! I didn't believe her so I looked up Consumer Reports, and she was right! After using this my skin has not peeled, and I have not got a sunburn! It is inexpensive too!

2. Hawaiian Tropics Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen in Ultra Radiance SPF 30: I didn't really need this, but I heard this gives a glow to the skin and I thought that would be cool to try out. Also, it has the most beautiful scent! So when I put the Equate on, I will put this on top of it for the glow and the nice smell.

3. Essie Nail Lacquer in I'm Addicted: Essie's Summer Collection has about five neon colors. Everywhere I went most of them were sold out! I really wanted the green one, but the blue one looked pretty to me too. I had a picture of this on my hands, but I accidentally deleted it from my computer. I think this is the perfect summer color.

4. Rimmel Stay Matte Primer: I heard people talking about this on Youtube, so I finally caved in and bought it to see what all the hype was about. But this stuff really does keep my face matte! I was really impressed. I have tried a lot of primers, and this is a good one.

5. NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation in Ivory: I heard about this from macshadowcombos on Youtube. She said this goes on lighter than her skin, but then it blends in and it is a really great foundation. Even though I didn't need it, I was curious to try it. I usually don't have good luck with foundation. But this one is really good! It does look lighter than my skin, but blends in somehow. It helps make the skin matte, but it never looks cakey. This looks good applied with a wet sponge. The only bad thing, is it is very small. I don't know how long this stuff will last me.

6. Maybelline Dream Pure BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Clearing Perfector: I tried the BB cream by Maybelline before and I didn't like it because I felt like it made my skin look too oily. This formula doesn't do that. It has 2% Salicylic Acid in it to help fight breakouts. This is what my dermatologist recommends for me, so I know this does work. If you are curious what the 8 things are this is what they are: 1. Clears acne. 2. Conceals imperfections. 3. Minimizes look of pores. 4. Reduces appearance of redness. 5. Adjusts to skin tone. 6. Hydrates and smoothes. 7. Enhances and clarifies. 8. 0% oils and lightweight feel. I think it does all that it claims to do. This makes a great primer if you want heavier coverage, just put a foundation over top. Sometimes a BB cream is nice when you want a lightweight foundation for the summertime.

7. L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes: I was using Maybelline The Rocket for a really long time, but I wasn't keeping track of how long I had been using it. I think it was past time and I needed to throw it out. This needs to be thrown out by September. I'm writing this down so I don't forget! I have extra mascaras that I wasn't using. I bought this mascara again because people on Youtube really raved about it. I didn't see what was so special about it. I used it like one time and then tossed it to the side. But this is actually a really great mascara! This might even be better than The Rocket! It gives a lot of volume to my lashes which is the most important thing to me. 

8. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: I have tried a lot of concealers. I am always on the hunt for the perfect one. Again, this is a purchase because of recommendations on Youtube. It is a light weight concealer, and it works perfectly under my eyes. I don't have really dark under eyes or bags, so I can get away with a light concealer. My Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealers are all done, so I'm using this one up now. I like the Dream Lumi Concealers better. But this one is good too. I don't think it has light reflecting particles in it. It is just a plain concealer.

9. Sephora Disney Storylook Palette in Cinderella: This was the first Storylook palette I got. It has really great quality eye shadows. I want to collect all three storybook palettes. The one I don't have is Jasmine from the Disney movie Alladin. There are a lot of dupes in these palettes for other high end makeup. I love the packaging. 

10. Jordana Easyliner Retractable Pencil for Lips in Tawny: I heard about this through Youtube. Smlx0 uses it a lot. It matches my lips when they are blushing, so this is the perfect color for me. It is a neutral/natural mauve with very little pink or brown undertones. I got this at Walgreens. It is inexpensive.

11. Rimmel London Lasting Finish Blendable Powder Blush in 002 Mauve Cool: This is one of my favorite blushes! It looks very natural on the skin. It is a dupe for NARS Madly. This is a nude glowing blush. It is pinky-beige. I don't have any other blushes like this.

12. Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream in St. Lucia: This is the cream version of the popular powder duo. It is a copy of NARS Orgasm and Laguna. I already mentioned that in a monthly favorites. The thing I love about this is the cream bronzer. It is a dupe for the Chanel Bronze Universal. You put it on before you put on a powder bronzer, and it will last for a long time. It is a little dark for my skin tone, so I use a light hand. The cream blush is very pretty too.

I had a lot of favorite songs this month! I didn't realize it until I wrote them all down! Phew! I also enjoyed the music at Vacation Bible School "Wild Animals." I found some of the songs on Youtube. I am sore from doing all the dance moves that went along with it! I like the one where "your love spins me round and round."

And Field Day at the school I work with was so much fun for the kids! They blasted music that was kind of like exercise music. The PE teacher plays music when the kids are in the gym. He has great taste in music. I tried to note down all the songs on his cd, but I didn't get them all.

I hope you liked my June favorites! 

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 #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.

Spring Look #1: Olive Green & Bright Coral

Just like how I made lists of pretty makeup looks I like, I wanted to do the same thing with Spring looks. I decided to break it up into a blog for each look, and show how I dupe the look. I follow the tutorial as best as I can, but I use makeup that I already have. Most of the time it is cheaper makeup, but it still makes a good look. I wanted to share with you what I did today. I copied a look by pixi2woo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z_BHonXEBQ. I will list what she used and then show what I used instead. For certain products I left it blank because you can use whatever product you wish for those.

1. Foundation
2. Concealer
3. Nars Paramaribo: The Nars eyeshadow duo has a light green and a dark green color in it. For the light green I used Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone 8-Pan Palette, the 2nd shade on the right. For the dark green, I used the olive shade in Maybelline's Enchanted Forest.
4. Pixiglow Fairy Dust: I used NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Champagne
5. Mascara
6. Powder
7. Bronzer
8. Mac Something Special Cream Blend Blush: I used Elf Candid Coral Blush.
9. Mac Costa Chic Lipstick: I used Wet 'n Wild Within These Adobe Walls.

My Thoughts: This is really pretty. I think the colors look good on me. It's great for a nice sunny Spring time day. Most of today was sunny. I think the coral and green go really well together.

1. Sweep Heaven from lashes to brow.

My Thoughts: I like it.

Classic
1. Blend Silk Teddy from crease to brow.
2. Press Push-Up onto lid.
3. Blend Erotica into the crease and lower lashes.
My Thoughts: This is very dramatic. The crease is kind of out of control.

Fashion
1. Sweep Nude Beach from crease to brow.
2. Press Honey Pot onto the inner lid and around tear duct.
3. Blend Cocoa Puff into the outer lid, crease, upper and lower lashes.
My Thoughts: This is very dramatic. The crease color is out of control.

After writing out all the dupes I could see that this palette is a lot like the Urban Decay Naked Palette because it had a lot of dupes from the e.l.f. Neutral Palette which is very much like Urban Decay's Naked Palette.
