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.
My Thoughts: It makes my hair naturally curly. The way it looks when I'm at the beach. It is really easy.

I didn't know this but Pacifica is made in Portland, OR (where I live)!

But this can be good for the summer too. This is an example of a look using color, yet it is wearable. I love panacea's personality. She seems so sweet.

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.

Winter Looks 2014


I love pictures of snow. I hope it snows this year! I don't like to drive in the snow, but it is pretty to look at. A lot of the winter looks are inspired by snowy/cold weather. I think the autumn looks are more suited for my coloring, but it is fun to try something new and change your look with the season. I've noticed a lot of grey, blue, and white on the eyes. The lips are usually red. I hope you like the looks I picked out to dupe. I only mention the looks that I personally liked, and thought looked good on me. I know just because a look looks good on me, doesn't mean it will look good on you, but I consider myself the guinea pig to trying the looks. I only have myself to work with. Some of the looks I found are old, meaning they were created at least one year ago or more.


These are the products I used often. I didn't mention them in the looks themselves because I feel like these are things that you use what you have. You don't have to use what they used or what I use. If you want recommendations, you can look at what I like to use, that's why I include them here.


Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener

Bronzer: Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Matte Light
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
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional 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
Black Eye Liner: Benefit Bad Gal Waterproof Eye Liner in Black, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black
Nude Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Nude
White Eye Liner: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
Eyebrows: Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in Light
Black Gel Eye Liner: Essence Gel Liner in Midnight in Paris

These are 10 looks I found on Youtube that I recreated and wanted to share with you. I thought these were pretty, winter looks. I list first what they used, then where they put it on their face, and then I say what I used to duplicate the look. Often if they use high end, I will use an inexpensive alternative. I'm using what I already have in my makeup collection. You can use something similar in your collection. If there is nothing listed, it means I am using the same product the Youtuber is using or it means I've already said what I used to dupe the makeup, and I don't want to repeat myself. I hope it isn't confusing. At the end of the look I say my overall opinion of the look, I try to describe what it looks like, and my experience creating the look.

My Thoughts: This looks like a winter look because of the silver eyes and the red lips. I don't know why she took the video down. I was going to watch it to see how she did the outer v, but the video was unavailable. That is why I didn't include the link for the video.

3. Snow Bunny Makeup Series: Winterscape by pinksofoxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRre0P1R4eo

a. Eye Primer
b. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, eyelid and tearduct, blend it out

My Thoughts: The eyes look like a smokey dark purple, the cheeks and lips are pink. I think this looks like a pretty wintertime makeup. At first I didn't think it looked right on me, but I finished putting on the makeup, and the look came together in the end. It is very cool toned.

4. GRWM & OOTN: Natural at Winter Night by cosmeticcouturier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozgaw1ct0cc

a. Too Faced Natural at Night, Spotlight, lashes to brow: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 1st color
b. Same Palette, Night Cap, crease, outer corner: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 2nd color
c. Same Palette, Cocoa Star, outer lid, outer crease, blend it out: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 3rd color
d. White Eye Liner, waterline
e. Same Palette, After Hours, lower lash line: L'Oreal HIP Duo in Electrified, left side
f. Same Palette, Spotlight, inner corner
g. Same Palette, Nightlight, center of lid: Stila's Kitten
h. Foundation
i. Too Faced Aqua Bunny Bronzer, hollows of cheeks: Elf Contouring Cream Blush & Bronzer in St. Lucia
j. Tarte Maracuja Airbrush Blush in Shimmering Peach: Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Peach Satin
k. Illamasqua Lipstick in Climax: Revlon Colorburst in Soft Rose
My Thoughts: Don't forget mascara! If you missed out on the Wet 'n Wild Vanity, Too Faced Natural at Night could be a dupe for it. You would get 6 other colors besides the three in the Vanity palette, and a dupe for Stila's Kitten. I like this look because it suits my warm coloring. Some people say the Maybelline Dream Bouncy blushes aren't very pigmented, but the one I have works fine. Maybe it's because I'm so pale. The Soft Rose lipstick is perfect for my lips. It's a MLBB color (my lips but better). GRWM stands for get ready with me and OOTN stands for outfit of the night. She wore this for a night out, but I think it also works for daytime.

5. A WINTER'S DAY Get Ready With Me by beautycrush http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1sdexoV2Dc

a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Powder

g. Mascara
h. Bronzer, under cheekbones, chin, jaw
i. Benefit High Beam, nose, top of cheekbones: I got this in the Benefit Advent Calendar, but if you don't have it a good dupe is Elf Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal.
j. MAC Lipstick in Please Me: Revlon Pink Pout
k. Top Shop Lip Cream in Daze: Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Parfait
My Thoughts: She didn't say what blush she was wearing, if she was wearing blush. I'm going to match the cheeks to the lips with pink. I'm using Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink. I find I need to wear blush. I look too pale without it. The look is really elegant.

6. Everyday Winter Makeup Routine by SMLx0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE5sD0VwA-E
a. CC Cream
b. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer "Neutralizer", triangle under eyes, nose, chin, above nose on forehead: I don't have this. I have the Brightener one.

n. Cream Bronzer, hollows of cheeks: Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream in St. Lucia
o. Pumpkin & Poppy Lady of Light Cream Highlighter: I skipped because I'm putting on the Mary-Lou Manizer

q. Inglot Soft Precision Lip Liner in 68: Elf Feather Proof Moisturizing Lip Liner in Bark
r. Illamasqua Lipstick in Climax: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose
s. Too Faced Glamour Gloss in Pillow Talk: Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Rose Pearl
My Thoughts: The eyes are blue and smoky with glitter in the middle. The Balm Hot Mama is beautiful! It's my first time using this. It is a peachy pink with golden shimmer. I love the lip liner in Bark. It is a MLBB lip liner. I think the mauve lip gloss looks pretty next to the navy blue eyes. This is a different look for me to wear, but I like it.

p. NARS Turkish Delight Lip Gloss: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal
My Thoughts: The eyes are so pretty. If you want a look where your eyes will stand out, this is the look to go for. The cheek color is pretty too. The lips are really pale, but I think it's because the eyes are the focus. I wore this to a birthday party, and I got a lot of compliments on my eyes! It was really nice.

l. Elf Glitter Gloss in Dazzling Diamond: Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss in Designer Label
m. Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, highlight color, top of cheekbones
My Thoughts: I don't talk about the Elf Day to Night Quad enough. It has been on a monthly favorites post, but this quad is wonderful. I hear people say how they don't like the Elf eyeshadows, but this quad is really pigmented. Maybe they haven't tried this one before. It has beautiful shadows in it. The last shade is a dupe for Urban Decay's Sidecar. The second shade is a dupe for Urban Decay's Hustle. The highlighter is so pigmented. In this look the eyes are very dark. The cheeks and lips are plum. It looks good on my warm coloring, which I think is interesting. It looks good with my hazel eyes. It makes me wonder if I am a neutral skin tone, and not warm coloring like I have been thinking. The Walking on Eggshells highlight works good as a face highlighter.

b. Bare Minerals Queen Phillis, tearduct, front part of eye: Wet 'n Wild Sparkle Til Morning, 1st color
c. Bare Minerals True Gold, center of lid overlapping Queen Phillis, lower lash line outer portion blend over Queen Phillis: Elf Beauty Book Bright Eye Edition, 2nd row, 3rd shade
d. NARS Galapagos, barely touch product, outer v: Maybelline Eye Studio in Cozy Cashmere, 2nd color
e. Blend it out.
f. MAC Brûlée, under brow: Wet 'n Wild Brûlée
g. Urban Decay Naked, edge of Galapagos blend it out: 3rd color in L'Oreal Cupa Joe

i. Mascara
j. Concealer
k. Foundation
l. Chanel Universal Bronzer, hollows of cheeks: Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream in St. Lucia
m. Dior Amber Diamond, top of cheekbones, sides of eyes: Physicians Formula Vegas Strip
n. MAC Warmth of Coral Blush: Milani Baked Blush in Coralina
o. Chanel Beige Lip Liner: Boots No.7 Lip Liner in Nude
p. MAC Lipstick in Gel: Revlon Lipstick in Champagne on Ice
My Thoughts: This is my first time wearing the cream bronzer and I like it! It blends in nicely to my skin. I used tape on the sides of my eyes when doing this look, so I could get a good shape on the outer corner and the wing. The cheeks are corally and the lips are nude. The eyes are golden. It's a really pretty look.

5. "Changing Seasons" Makeup Look Gold + Green by MakeupByAlli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc71B_B72WM
a. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded, eyelid, tearduct
b. Urban Decay Half Baked, eyelid: left color in L'Oreal Hip Duo in Dynamic
c. Urban Decay Buck, crease, blend out: 3rd shade in Wet 'n Wild Vanity

e. Urban Decay Eye Liner in Stash, waterline, tightline: PixiGlow Straight On Til Morning Liner 2nd Star Twinkle
f. Sigma Resort Palette, Madori, outer v: Wet 'n Wild I'm Seeing Triples! green color
g. Madori, lower lash line
h. Black Liquid Liner upper lash line, wing: I skipped this.
i. Mascara
j. Bronzer, temples, hollows of cheeks
k. MAC Blush in Melba: Elf Candid Coral
l. Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust for Blush: Maybelline Color Sensational 015 Born With It
m. MAC Lipglass in Florabundance: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal
My Thoughts: This has coral cheeks, nude glossy lips, and a little bit of pop of color green on the eyes with gold. I didn't put liquid liner on the top lash line because I've been getting tired of overdoing the liner. Since my eyes already are lined in the waterline and tight line, I feel like I don't need liquid liner on the top lash line or a wing. Yesterday I did a look where I wore so much black liner, I think it looked really bad. I didn't include it in this post. I think black liner can look too harsh on me because I'm so fair. Maybe I should switch to brown liners.

k. Brown Eye Liner, outer lower lash line, blend it out with finger, outer upper lash line and blend it out

l. Diego Dalla Palma Liquid Lips in Rosetta: Wet 'n Wild Megashield Lip Color in Pink Champagne
m. Urban Decay Sin Cream Highlighter, top of cheekbones: Bare Minerals Flawless Radiance
My Thoughts: I like this look. It is a fall colors smokey eye. The face has no blush, just bronzer and the lips are a light pink frost. The focus is on the eyes. I got compliments on my eye makeup today.

p. Stila Highlighting Duo in Kitten, top of cheekbones: I used the eyeshadow Stila Kitten.
q. Urban Decay Chill Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
My Thoughts: The eyes have orange, there is no blush, so the face looks really natural. The lips are a nudey, glossy pink. The eyes look like fall, and the lips look like summer.

10. Fall Makeup Tutorial (Lorac Pro Palette) & OOTD! By MakeupByTiffanyD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2z79ZtxckU

p. Benefit The Rockateur Blush: Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'Oro
q. MAC Viva Glam 5 Lipstick: Rimmel Lipstick in Airy Fairy
My Thoughts: I like this look. The eyes are really beautiful. There are a lot of fall colors used. The eyes are the focus. The cheeks have a beautiful blush, Rose D'Oro. It is shimmery with a slight hint of peachy-coral and gold shimmers. It looks like a fall blush. The lips are a pretty nude, so the eyes can stand out.

I hope you like the Fall Looks I picked. They were really fun and I got a lot of compliments. One of my coworkers said how she can't believe how my eye makeup stays, even after I'm out on the playground with the kids. I think it's because of the Milani Eyeshadow Primer! I hope you give these looks a try, and I hope my lists aren't too confusing for you.

September Favorites

1. Benefit They're Real Mascara


I have heard this talked about for so long. I didn't want to buy it because I knew it was a high end mascara and I like to buy the mascaras from the drugstore. Well, this month was my birthday and I got a birthday present from Sephora. They gave me this little sample mascara and a sample benefit highlighter. I understand now what all the hype was about. This is a really good mascara. I'm not going to buy the full size, but I enjoy this little sample.

2. Hard Candy Blotting Papers


I keep this in my beauty bag and take it to work with me everyday. During my break I blot my face with a tissue and put powder on. I have combination skin. Sometimes it is oily, sometimes it is dry, and sometimes in areas it is both. These are handy papers to have and I don't think they were expensive. I got them at Walmart.

3. Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector


When I was on Sephora's website shopping for my birthday presents, they let me pick out some samples. I chose this deluxe size sample primer. It lasted almost the whole month. I used up all of it. It is a good primer. Again, I wouldn't purchase it because it more expensive then I like to spend. I have other primers I need to finish, and when I get a primer next I will get one from the drugstore.

4. Stila In The Light Palette



This is something I got for my birthday. I love this palette! The eyeshadows are so pigmented and good quality. I had heard people talk about it on Youtube, so I have been curious about it. It has the eyeshadow "Kitten" which is also very popular. It is a beautiful shadow. I did a blog post about this, this month with different looks I found that I liked. I'm happy I got this. I also got Stila's In The Garden Palette, which I plan on doing a blog post about too.

5. Argan Oil and Coconut Oil



I got this tip from pinksofoxy http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9f9knI31hrUYBN8ey0m6Q She is someone I subscribe to on Youtube. She uses natural oils on her face, body, and hair. For her hair she puts 3 drops of coconut oil in her hand and 5 drops of argan oil and rubs her hands together and puts it on her hair, avoiding the roots. I've been doing this, this month and I think it is a good treatment. It helps my hair not be so frizzy. It also smells good. With the coconut oil it comes in a solid form so I put some in the microwave for 20 seconds and let it melt, then I use a dropper to put on my hand.

6. Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner


This is another thing inspired by pinksofoxy. She uses this in the shower. It smells so good. I happened to see this in the organic section at my local Fred Meyers. I remember pinksofoxy talk about it, so I decided to get it. It isn't expensive. There are no sulfates. It makes my hair feel so good! I love this stuff! It also makes my hair smell good. The conditioner makes my hair really silky.

7. Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Perfecting Primer


I think I mentioned the original primer in a monthly favorites before. I like that one too. I wanted to try the other kinds of primer. There is a skin correcting one and a lumanizing one. This one is the skin correcting one. This is what the back of the tube says, "Perfecting primer evens out skin tone and creates a flawless, smooth finish to skin. Fills in fine lines, wrinkles, and pores." I used this after I finished with the Becca primer. I like this primer just as much as the Becca one. I don't see it even out my skin tone, but I do notice it makes a smooth finish on my skin for before I apply foundation. This reminds me of the original one. I can't really tell a difference. The lumanizing one I can tell is more shiny, so I have to be careful with that one so I don't make my skin look too oily.

8. Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink


I mentioned the Happy Booster Blush in Natural in another monthly favorites. I like this blush too. It is a cool pink, almost matte. I think I have warm coloring, and this looks good on me. When I want to wear a pink blush, I reach for this. It smells good too! I love the little hearts. Physicians Formula seems to always have the cutest packaging. It reminds me of Asian makeup because there are a lot of cute packaged makeup from Asia. I wish more companies had cute packaging in America. I have several blushes from this line. I think it's good quality.

9. Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Sunset


This blush is so beautiful! I have mentioned in another monthly favorites the Sonia Kashuk blush in flushed. It is more of a pink. This is a coral. It is one of my all time favorite blushes. It is a great formula too. Sonia Kashuk can be found at Target. It is more on the expensive side, but it is worth it. At least for the blush. I think the brand gets mixed reviews.

10. DIY Makeup Brush Spot Cleaner


I have been using this brush cleaner I got at Fred Meyers for awhile, but I always run out of it and I feel like I could save money if I made my own. I looked it up on Youtube and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5X27Yl1Oss. It is really easy to make you just need baby shampoo, a squirt bottle, and rubbing alcohol. Then the way I use it is I squirt some on a paper towel and clean my brushes with it after I'm done doing my makeup. This has come in handy for me, and it works really well. It disinfects and conditions the brushes.

11. ScentSationals Pumpkin Spice



Now that it is fall, I got some fall wax scents at Walmart. They are only $2! I fill my room with the pumpkin scent. Ohhhhhhh! It smells so wonderful! My mom wants to know what I'm baking. xD I actually don't like pie, but I love the smell of pumpkin pie. You only need a little piece of the wax and it will last for days!

August Favorites!

Favorite TV Show


The Real Housewives of Miami: The newest season started this month. I am so excited. I get so involved in these ladies lives. I like to watch these shows with my mom. It is about a bunch of wealthy women who get into fights with each other and have all kinds of drama in their lives. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are enemies. It is very intriguing and addicting! It's on Bravo.

Favorite Beauty Items


1. Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara in Black: This was really raved about on Youtube. Several of the people I subscribe to were loving this and it looked like it really made their lashes look lush. I couldn't find this in the stores. I thought there was going to be a display for it. I found it tucked away on the little Jordana shelf with the rest of the Jordana makeup. It was very inexpensive. It only costs $2.99! This mascara is so good! Normally, I switch around what mascara I use and try different kinds, but I think the next time I get mascara I will be sticking with this one. I love it!


2. Bath & Body Works Body Lotion in Warm Vanilla Sugar: I love this lotion! It smells so good and it is wonderful to use when you are finished taking a shower. My body is so dry it just drinks this stuff in. I got this as a Christmas present and I didn't really use it for some reason. I've been bad at moisturizing my body. But this month I've been exfoliating and moisturizing. I've used this almost all up! I have gotten compliments on the smell too. It is a very comforting smell.


3. DIY Mint Cacao Lip Scrub: My mom introduced me to pinksofoxy's youtube channel, and this month I've been watching her videos and trying out her DIY beauty products. You can find her video on how to make this scrub here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWEoJuG5a8I. It is so yummy and smells so good. This is the best lip scrub I've ever used. I like to use it when I take a shower, so it's ok if I make a mess. I've used almost the whole batch I made. I think I probably need to make a new one. There is something fun about making your own products. It's like a craft project or something. It's really easy to make. If I can make it, anybody can!


4. DIY Sugar Cookie Body Scrub: This is another DIY by pinksofoxy. You can find the tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktg4Bwb1aVo. I don't think I used the right kind of coconut oil because what she used was a liquid, and what I got was a solid, but I made it work. I used the whole bottle of Monoi Oil Vanilla! I ordered that, so it might be awhile before I make this again. It smells really good and works very well. When I got a pedicure this month and the lady doing my toes was putting stuff on my legs, she said my legs felt like baby legs! lol! I took it as a compliment. I think that is thanks to this scrub.


5. Gillette Venus & Olay Sugarberry Razor: I saw someone's blog and she was raving about this. I wanted to try a new razor and I decided to get this. It has moisture bars on it, so you don't need to use shaving cream. It works really well. It smells good too.


6. DIY Leave-In Conditioner Spray: This is another DIY by pinksofoxy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGFEemVRYnM. I dumped out my Frizz-Ease conditioner spray, so I could use the bottle. I didn't like it very much. I used the conditioner I have been using. I spray this on my hair when I get out of the shower and I think it works good. I do this once a week. It's a deeply moisturizing treatment for the hair.




7. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold: These are similar to MAC's paint pots. They are cream bases. If you put this on your eye and then a gold eye shadow, it will make the gold shadow even more pigmented. It also lasts a long time on the eye. This is a medium-dark gold. It is lighter on the skin and more gold than Maybelline Color Tattoo in Gold Shimmer. This is a true gold. It is shimmery. The shimmer doesn't really show on my swatch. It's a very beautiful color.



8. Elf Hypershine Gloss in Blossom: This is a light pink gloss with a hint of peach in it and very fine shimmers. It is inexpensive. It is only $1! It has lasted a long time, and I love this gloss. It is like a makeup staple. You know how people say something is wardrobe staple? That is what this is for your makeup collection.


9. Freeman Facial Anti-Stress Mask Dead Sea Minerals: This is actually a sample I got at Walmart. This is an amazing mask. I will buy the full size. It says it clarifies & renews skin. "This anti-stress mud mask, with Dead Sea Minerals, instantly absorbs excess oil while clarifying and purging clogged pores. Rinse away the mask to reveal smooth, radiant, healthy looking skin." It does what it claim to do. I heard ciaoobelllaxo talking about this as one of her favorite things. This was another product I had a hard time finding. At my Walmart there is a section at the end of one of the aisles that has a bunch of sample masks hanging. I was so excited to see this there. After that, I have since then seen a full size of this at Rite Aid. It looks funny when you have this on because it a bright turquoise color. (It's my favorite color, actually.) So you can scare people with it too, which is a bonus. xD


10. Boots No.7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion: I don't remember who was talking about this product. It might have been Lisa Eldridge. I just remember someone on Youtube turned me onto this product. I found it at Target. It is one of my all-time favorite highlighters. It is like a lotion and it has a pink tint. It gives a beautiful luminosity to the face. I use it to dupe a lot of highlighters.

Pretty Makeup Looks 2013 Part 3


I chose to put a picture of the ocean here because going to the beach is one of my favorite activities and I think you can get the prettiest pictures at the beach. This is a picture of a beach in Hawaii. I have never gone there, but it is one of the places I would like to visit. Since this is a list of some pretty looks, I wanted to include a pretty picture of course. I wish the summer would last forever. Pictures of beaches make me think of summer.

These are 10 looks I found on Youtube that inspired me and after doing my best to copy them on my face, I feel they have made me look pretty and get my stamp of approval. A lot of these looks are old because I have such a long list of looks! I can't keep up with them! I also have found people this summer who I like their makeup looks and have watched their older videos. So some of these people are new to me. Maybe they will be new to you.

These are the products I used a lot:

Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant (under eyes), Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory (blemishes), Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette
Eye Shadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara in Black (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Brown
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: Essence Midnight in Paris
Face Primer: L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base, L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Redness Primer
Foundation: Boots No.7 Beautifully Matte Foundation in Cool Ivory
Powder: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Light
Bronzer: Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Matte Light
Lip Balm: Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched

In these looks I list what the person used, where they put it, and then what I used to duplicate the look. Sometimes I have the same products they used, in those cases I just leave it blank. Like in the first look I used almost everything she used because I already had it. I try to use what I already have, instead of running out and buying what the video person uses. I like to use inexpensive products. So a lot of the times I will find a cheaper dupe to a high end product someone uses. I hope that people will be inspired to save their money and shop their stash of makeup that they already have to do a look or maybe it will be helpful to see an inexpensive dupe they could get if they don't want to spend a lot of money. Also, sometimes I like the looks done by people in other countries who use products that I don't have in the U.S. or they use products that were limited edition or discontinued. I hope this all make sense. I'm doing my best to explain my reasoning behind these blog posts. I hope someone found it helpful. If you are still confused, just click the link to the video and watch the person do the look and hopefully that will make more sense. Sometimes the people teach what they are doing as they do it, and you can learn a lot about how to apply your makeup. I have learned so much.

These are the 10 pretty looks:

1. Green & Taupe Drugstore Makeup Tutorial by MakeupByAlli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn82OtpK2eg
a. Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone Palette, top right color, eyelid
b. Same Palette, 3rd on the right, outer crease
c. Same Palette, 2nd on the right, crease, blend it out
d. Same Palette, 1st color on the left, under brow
e. Cover Girl Eye Liner in Green Glow, lower lash line: Pixiglow Straight On Till Morning Liner in 2nd Star Twinkle
f. Same Palette, 4th color on the right, line upper lash line bottom edge of outer v, lower lashes 2/3
g. Same Palette, 2nd color on the right, lower lash line, tear duct, brush all along the lower lashes
h. Same Palette, 1st color on the left, inner corner
i. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line, wing
j. Brown Eye Liner, waterline, tightline
k. Mascara
l. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
m. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Charm
n. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal, blend with finger
My Thoughts: I'm really proud of myself because this is the first time I've done the wing liner, and I think I did a good job! I think it's because I've been watching a lot of videos where people have done the wing, so I've learned or maybe I just got lucky today. The eyes are very green. I guess the taupe is on the eyelid. Everything else is green. It is really pretty.

2. Half Face Drugstore; other Half Highend Makeup by Melissa Raymond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1BSuLsir-E
a. Foundation
b. Concealer
c. Bronzer, hollows of cheeks, sides of nose, jaw, temples
d. MAC Pinch O Peach/NYX Bourgeois Pig: I used Covergirl Pretty Peach Blush.
e. NYX Aqua Marine, center color/ Urban Decay Peace, eyelid into the crease: I used Peace from the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box.
f. MAC Scene/Revlon Eyeshadow Quad in Goddess, gray color, crease: I used Revlon Goddess.
g. MAC Gesso/Revlon Eyeshadow Quad in Goddess, white color, under brow: I used Revlon Goddess.
h. Black Eye Liner, upper lash line, smudge it out, lower lash line, outer half, smudge it out
i. Urban Decay Peace, lower lash line
j. Mascara
k. NYX Lip Liner in Fuchsia: I used Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Indian Pink.
l. MAC Up the Amp/Maybelline Vivid in Brazen Berry: I used Wet 'n Wild Lipstick in 525d Retro Pink. (It is supposed to be a dupe for MAC Up the Amp.)
My Thoughts: I love it when people do half face high end, half face drugstore. You can really see how the makeup compares. The person has to find a very close dupe in order for the look to work. I love it when people find dupes. I hope it isn't too confusing for me to list the products because sometimes I used a third product that is a dupe of the dupe, or a different dupe of the highend product. I don't know if I like the blue eyes. I'm afraid I look like the woman on the Drew Carey show. I really like the color. I think if I'm going to wear the color, this is the way to wear it. The gray looks good in the crease, and I think the black liner makes the look more wearable.

u. Pumpkin & Poppy Cosmetics Lip Butter in Evenstar: Studio Gear Complete Color Lipstick in Mocha Berry
My Thoughts: I think this look is good for hazel eyes. The colors complement my eye color I think. The eye look reminds me of a fall look. Actually, the whole look has fall colors in it. It looks good if you have warm coloring. I also really like the names of things in this collection. The makeup collection was inspired by "The Lord of the Rings." I love those books and movies! It is a lot of makeup, but it is really beautiful. I definitely felt like a makeup artist, doing this look.

My Thoughts: My face was red today, so I used L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Redness Primer. Then I used Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer with the greenish color over any red spots. Then I put my foundation on. This is an old look, but I still think it's a pretty, everyday look.

6. (RQ) Too Faced Natural Eye Palette Makeup Tutorial by TheDailyCupcake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNIp9x8g8H4

m. NYX Blush in Pinky: Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink

o. NYX Lip Liner in Peony
p. Rimmel Lipstick in Nostalgia: Covergirl Lipstick in Rapture
q. NYX Eye Shadow in Barely There over the lips: Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells, 1st color
My Thoughts: In my dupe list I have found that Stila Kitten is a dupe for both Silk Teddy and Nude Beach, so whenever it says to use both colors I'm just going to use my dupe for Stila Kitten (which is Iced Latte). She doesn't say how she wears the two lip liners. It just lists that is what she is wearing. She doesn't show herself putting on the lip products. I have both lip liners, so what I did was I lined my lips and filled them in with East End Snob. Then with Peony I just lined my lips and blended it in. Make sure your lips are exfoliated really well or else it won't look good. I used the Elf Lip Exfoliator. Rimmel Nostalgia has been discontinued I think. I couldn't find it in the stores. I'm really not used to doing my eyes like she does them. I think my eye is shaped differently than her's, so it is difficult to do the outer v shape for me. Before I did my wing, I used a makeup wipe to clean up the edge of my eye shadow to make sure it was lined up with the end of my eye and my eyebrow. This is a really pretty look. It reminds me of the Spring or Summer. The Daily Cupcake is such a gem! I'm so glad I found her. She doesn't have very many videos. I guess she had an old channel. She is hilarious! I love her! She has such great fashion sense and she is so pretty. She seems very down to earth. I really recommend her.

7. Natural Bronze Makeup Tutorial by pinksofoxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=005pKlw2kx4
a. Eye Primer
b. Too Faced Summer Eye Palette, Peach Fuzz, inner half of lid, inner corner: Wet 'n Wild Silent Treatment, browbone color
c. Same Palette, Toasted Coconut, outer 1/3 up to the crease, crescent moon shape, see video: Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone, 3rd color
d. Same Palette, Chocolate Sun, outer lash line, outer v with a slight wing, up into the crease just slightly: Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals, 5th color
e. Blend it out.
f. Toasted Coconut, tip of blending brush, inside the outer v and drag it in a little in the crease
g. MAC Brûlée, browbone highlight: Wet 'n Wild Brûlée
h. MAC Dazzlelight, inner corner: lightest color in Maybelline Enchanted Forest
i. Toasted Coconut, outer 1/3 of lower lash line
j. Black Gel Liner, outer half of upper lash line, close to lashes, wing, see video
k. Mascara
l. Nude Eye Liner, waterline
m. Powder
n. Victoria's Secret Goddess Bronzer on cheeks, forehead, nose: Wet 'n Wild Bronzer in Everything Under the Sun
o. MAC Blush in Sunbasque: Hard Candy Blush Crush in Bombshell
p. Makeup Forever Lip Liner 1c: Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses in Spice
q. MAC Lipstick in Freckletone: Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brûlée
My Thoughts: Again, I'm having trouble following the eye shape she makes with the brown colors, so I'm afraid it looks kind of funny. I'm going to take my makeup wipe and make the angle go from the end of my eye to the end of my eyebrow in a clean diagonal. If you watch the video, you can see how perfectly she lines her gel liner. I totally botched it up. I'm going to take a q-tip and clean up my line. I'm going to go in and add more of the peach from Silent Treatment to my eyelid because I removed some of it with the makeup remover on the q-tip. Some people use tape to make their wings. I'm going to have to try that one of these days. The bronzer I used is different than my normal contour bronzer. This one isn't matte. It was also limited edition, but you could use any bronzer that has a shimmer in it. It is pretty simple to find a bronzer like that. The Bombshell blush is pretty dark for my skin color, but I used a light hand and I think it looks really pretty. I think it goes with my warm coloring. It almost looks like a sun burn turning into a tan, so it looks natural on my face. I hope I don't look too bronzed in the face compared to my neck and the rest of my body. The lip liner Spice looks so natural on my lips. It is a "my lips but better" lip liner. I love it! I really like this look. I feel like a bronzed goddess! xD

8. Rachel Weisz - Oz the Great and Powerful - Makeup Tutorial by pixiwoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZinsSmIGWE
a. Face Primer
b. Foundation
c. Sleek Au Naturale Divine Palette, looking at it with the black on the top left, she uses the third from the right all over the lid: Wet 'n Wild Vanity, 2nd color

e. Same color, outer part of lid at an angle (see video)
f. Same color, outer half of lower lash line
g. Black Liquid Liner, upper lash line, little flick
h. Mascara top lashes

k. MAC Blush in Buff, back of the cheekbones: Milani Blush in Warm Petals
l. Illamasqua Cream Blush in Ravish, used a stippling brush: The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
m. MAC Beet Lip Liner: Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Contouring Pencil in Red Dynamite
n. Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Smitten Red: Revlon Cherries in the Snow
o. Bourjois Lip Gloss 06: Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss in Hot Mess
My Thoughts: Again, I find it difficult to do the outer v part, I guess I'm a slow learner. I wish Sam would come over to my house and draw a diagram on my eye and say, "Here, color in this part this color." Whatever it is that I came up with still looks good, but I'm just a perfectionist I guess and I feel like I still didn't do it right. The look is very glamorous. For some reason I feel fancy when I have a red glossy lip on.

j. The Face Shop Illuminating Blush in Violet: Bare Minerals Blush in Kiss
k. Missha Lip Gloss + Lip Balm, nudey pink color: Elf Hypershine Lip Gloss in Blossom
My Thoughts: I wasn't sure how I would like Luminoso on my eye, but it looks really pretty. It also helps to have the brown in the crease. The Kiss blush is so pretty. This is a really pretty peachy-pink look. It's very cute and easy to do.
