FOTD: Naked 3 Palette

I wanted to do a quick post of the look that I did on Thursday.  While watching some videos on YouTube, I came across a tag called Getting the Most Use of Your Palettes.  I have been pretty much switching up the palettes that I use weekly, so I thought it was a great idea.

Anyhow, I snapped a few pictures after work, so I had my makeup on all day. 

Sorry this picture is so blurry.

Fourth of July FOTD

I know, I know, I'm late as usual, but since it is such a simple face of the day I figured why not.  There is no red, white and blue going on here.  I did however, decide to finally break out my MAC Petals & Peacocks lipstick which matched perfectly with my dress.  

 

 Here's what I used:

How did you spend your Fourth of July?  Did you wear any patriotic makeup looks?  Leave a comment and let me know??

Simple FOTD

I did this look on Friday.  It was going to snow, so I decided to opt for something quick and simple.  I bought the MUFE Mat Velvet + foundation, so that's what I have been using on my face.  So far so good, but I will do a full review in a couple of weeks.

Face

MUFE Mat Velvet + 70

Rock & Republic All Nighter Blush

Lips

EOS Summer Fruit lip balm

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi

So that's my very simple face of the day, I hope you enjoyed :)

New Year's Eve FOTD

I am extremely late with this post, but I was exhausted Friday night.  I hope that everyone is having a wonderful start to this new year.

On New Year's Eve, I went to dinner with four fabulous ladies, well three being that my little sister is only twelve, lol.  My mom, aunt, cousin, sis and I went to an Asian restaurant called Jade and we had an amazing time.

I decided to keep my makeup simple, because I was running low on time and I hadn't really decided on a makeup look beforehand. So I just popped on some gold liner on my upper lash line and black on the lower and I was ready to go.

    Excuse my brows, they desperately need to be threaded.

How was your New Year's Eve?  I would also like feedback on what kind of posts you would like to see.  I'm trying to cut back on my makeup purchases, and I'm pretty much at a lost of what to write about.  If you want me to write about something particular please leave a comment letting me know.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful and prosperous new year :)

Style Snob FOTD

I actually had to time to do a full face of makeup this morning.  By full face I mean applying eyeshadow.  I haven't used MAC Style Snob eyeshadow in a long while, I decided to pair it with Sketch in the crease.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick My Mahogany

Revlon Lipgloss Nude Lustre

I completely forgot how nice of a nude My Mahogany is and pairing it with the Revlon gloss gives it a little bit of shine.  I have a lot of lips products that I need to use up, so they might be repetitive for a few of my fotd's. 



Wet n Wild Snow Sprite FOTD

Hey ladies, I'm trying to get back into the groove of things with posting, but it's hard cause I'm completely exhausted most of the time.  The semester is almost done, so that should help a little.  Speaking of being tired, I'm sorry in advance for how tired I actually look in these photos.  Seeing is surely believing and I don't remember being that tired on this particular day, but a picture is worth a thousand words. 

So I finally found the courage to go out of my comfort zone, I don't usual post looks like this, because I'm in a neutral rut at the moment.  Let me know what you think.  Also I did my makeup before I actually got dressed, so this is not the shirt that I wore.

Maybelline Natural Smokes FOTD Take Two

As I stated in my last post I did two looks with my Maybelline Natural Smokes quad. 

I used pretty much the same items and placement as the last post, except I used Nars Dolce Vita on my cheeks and MAC Brave New Bronze lipstick, MAC Cork lip liner and Revlon Peach Petal lipgloss on my lips. I also have Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion on my top and bottom lashes.

I love Dolce Vita blush, it's a nice rosy color that I can wear everyday. 

Maybelline Natural Smokes FOTD

I must say that out of the four Maybelline Stylish Smokes quad the natural is by far my favorite.  As you all know, I am in love with neutrals colors for the moment.  Also, like most other palettes, it is nice to have all the colors that you need in one place. 

I used this palette twice last week, so I will post two separate face of the days.

Maybelline Natural Smokes quad(I used each shadow as it was labeled, except for the highlight.  I also used the outer corner color on my lower lashline.)

*I don't remember what I put on my lips this day*

 This is my first time using the MUFE HD blush and I must say that I really do not like it.  I received it as the 100 point perk at Sephora.  Perhaps I used too much, but to me it seemed to sit on top of my skin, that's why I put Bite of an Apple over it.  I blended it with my fingers and with a brush and I still did not like the outcome.  That's all for now, let me know what you think.

Wet n Wild Golden Goddess FOTD

So I was inspired by acomplicatedmelody on Youtube for this face of the day.  I have been feeling blah these last few weeks, so I have been doing a really simple look, which I will post very soon. 

Though the palette comes with six colors, I had no idea how I was going to put them together.  I never would have thought to use MAC's Coral Crepe paint pot if not for the video.  It really helps to bring out that coral-ish color on the top.

Lips

I'm glad I ended up picking up this palette because I was going to pass on it.  My only problem is that it is kind of a glitter bomb, especially the second color on the top, which  I used on my lid. I had a lot of fallout under my eyes, besides that it was worth the $4.99.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway.  You could be the winner of either the Night Elf or Snow Sprite palette.  You have until December 5, 2010, 11:59pm est. 

Wet n Wild Sugar Plum Fairy FOTD

Hey all.  So I couldn't wait to use my new Wet n Wild Pixie palettes.  I used the Sugar Plum Fairy palette last night when I was headed out for a Girl's Night Out.  I really like the outcome and I can't wait to use the other palettes.

I labeled the picture below so that you can see which colors I used and where I placed them on my eyes.  Sorry that the wording is so small.

Naked Sin FOTD

I have to say that I really love my Naked palette.  I know that I said it before, but I do really adore it.  It's very versatile and convenient to have all the shadows that you need in one place.

Natural Flare FOTD

Isn't everyone happy that the weekend is almost here?  So this is the look I did last weekend when I went to the CCO.  I used MAC's Natural Flare Mineralize eyeshadow.  Once again, I looked through the items that I owned and went with what has been neglected. 

I love Natural Flare, it is definitely a great set of shadows for the Fall season.  A deep brown and three different tones of gold, very Fall.

Emerald Smokes FOTD

Hey all, I'm back with another face of the day.  I did this face of the day back in September for my cousin's baby shower and I forgot to post it.  I have a very bad cold, so I doubt you will be seeing any new face of the days. 

For the baby shower I decided to use my Maybelline Stylish Smokes quad in Emerald Smokes.  I had it for a long while and never touched it.  I love greens, but for some reason I buy them and never use them.

That's it for this fotd. I have another one that I did this past Saturday when I went to the outlet.  I'm also going to post my small CCO and target shopping trip, so stay tuned for that. 

She Who Dares FOTD

Saturday night we went to pick the kiddies up from my mom's and I decided to spice my makeup up a little.  Keeping with the theme of loving what I have, I used She Who Dares mes and Wet n Wild's Envy single shadow.

I have to say that I love how this came out, even though I was kind of scared to actually wear it outside.  Yeah, I know that I am completely boring, but what can I say. 

I used MAC's Pearlglide pencil in Blackline as a base for this look along with my Urban Decay primer potion. Blending the mineralize eyeshadow was just a mess.  There was glitter everywhere,this one is nothing like My Dark Magic,which I had no problems with fall out.  Even though it's a glittery mess, I still love She Who Dares :)

My Dark Magic FOTD

This is my first time using my eyeshadows from the Venomous Villains collections.  I have been on a neutral kick lately so this look is definitely out of the box.  I was going shopping with the girls, so I figured why not.

I always forget to pick my lipstick/lipgloss on when I'm taking pictures, smh.  I guess because I feel the lip balm on my lips in my mind I have something on them.  Next time I will remember to put my lips products on before I take the pictures. 

Do you own My Dark Magic mes?  If so, how have you been using it?

Oh You Saucy Huh? FOTD

Lol, at my title.  I needed something catchy and cute.  So I wasn't going to post this face of the day because my skin was acting up something terrible.  This is from last week Tuesday, but I decided that I'm not perfect and we all get breakouts every now and then right?  So if pimples don't scare you, scroll down and check it out.

I haven't touched my L'Oreal Hip Duo in Saucy in years it feels like, it's only been months but none the less it feels that way.  I love, love, love this duo, it's my favorite one and it is perfect for Fall.  Saucy contains a burnt orange color and a dark brown, like I said perfect for Fall.
