Fall Palette Look 3 (Sonia Kashuk)

Here is the third look from the Sonia Kashuk fall palette. I added Demi Wispies false eye lashes to try out the glue I have in preparation of Halloween. :)
I also bought a different color of foundation and combined the two. Ivory and Nude from Revlon Whipped Creme foundation. I think it matches my skin tone better than just Ivory.
Another addition is make up setting spray by Urban Decay. :) I like it a lot.








I did the same nude lip as before; however, I put the kissable Lip Balm in Honey by Revlon underneath to not look too sickly. So tell me, is the nude lip a look for me?

Fall Collection Look 2

There is an exclusive line at target by Sonia Kashuk. I have not really ever looked at their line figuring it was a bit pricy for "drugstore" products. But a favorite vlogger mentioned their newest fall eye shadow palette. ;) it has so many pretty colors that looked similar to Urban Decay's Smoke palette. As I have mentioned before, I do not feel comfortable going out with my smokey eye application. Wanting to expand my makeup application skills, so I decided to try the Sonia Kashuk palette before taking the plunge and buying into the Smoked palette. The Sonia Kashuk palette has three different looks and instructions on how-to; this is nice for those of us who skills are not natural. :) Here is the swatches of palette.




At first I thought the colors were extremely light for their color; however, when I put the eye shadow on my eye lids, they were darker than on my arm which is good. And the glitter colors are beautiful and do not look like glitter on your eye lid, but sparkle. :) The instructions are easy to follow, too.




Of course the color does not look as dark in the pictures, but I liked the effect. The hubby said it make me look mischievous! :) I did try do add a nude lip so the eyes are the focal point.




Here's the products I used.




The lip butter is by Revlon called Creme Brulee.
The only critique I have of the eye shadows is they crease without any primer. So if you do not have any, I would suggest purchasing some with your palette. :) I wore another look today and used Urban Decay primer potion, and the shadow did not crease. :)

Darkhorse

I tweeted my eyebrows today... I know. It's slightly scary! ;) WHen I got my new Sigma brushes in the mail, they included an eye brow powder with it. Of course it is a new product they are featuring on their website. :) To be honest I just do not mess with my eye brows; they are naturally shaped pretty well, and I get really nervous that they will not be even once I get done. However, after watching several, eh... many, YouTube videos, I figured out eyebrows should get a little more attention. :) Tell me what you think? I just used the powder to darken them a little bit. And no, I have no idea how they knew which shade to send me. :)
The eyes are mainly Virgin and Darkhorse from the Naked palette by Urban Decay. I am trying to branch out what I put on my eyes. After I started using two shadows, I had a thought. Maybe to see how the color would look with my face, I should do only one toned eyes the first time... Maybe... ;) I also tried to use liquid eye liner. My hands are still a tad unsteady. :/ But practice makes perfect!
The lips are the dusty rose lip gloss from Revlon; it was featured in a "fall" makeup suggestion video. :) I do like it.








Also yes, I am tired. And my hair calmed down (the pictures are taken two different times. :> )




Also I cleaned by brushes afterwards, so you can see my new brushes!!

Elf Beauty Book 1

Don't you love the little displays Target and Walgreens have? I love to see what is new and a "limited edition"! I picked up the little beauty book by E.l.f cool edition the other day. I am unsure if it is a special thing for fall, but they had tons of reptile skin stuff along with it. The book has a ton of colors, but after getting over the overwhelmed feeling, I tried to mix and match a few colors. :). Here is the products I used and the completed face. :) (I'm thinking I tried to go a little nude.)










You can see I put the white end of the eye liner in my waterline. I have heard this helps one look more awake. Not doing that again! My eyes got very dry rather quickly. Like false eyelashes and high heels, this will be saved for special occasions and short time periods. :)
