Back to school makeup bag

Saturday, September 20, 2014

Hey there turtle doves! So its fairly obvious i have been MIA the last couple of weeks and thats because summer is gone and fall is upon us. My favorite time of year might i add. But with the coming of fall also means some daily structure changes as kids return to school and adults have to work around it all. But that change in my life of getting my son off to school and doing homework nightly have inspired me to do this post.

Back when i was in school i was that girl that wore makeup, a full face of it. But i know thats not for everyone. Also i know alot of schools internationally have very different rules on whats appropriate for school. So i compiled a little list of the basic things that can give you a fresh and flawless yet not overdone face.

List of must haves-

*BB or CC cream (The one pictured above is great for acne prone skin. But if you are blessed with clear skin something with less product or skipping this all together would be preferable)
*Concealer. For either blemishes or dark circles, whatever problems you might have and want to hide.
*A face powder, something to set any creams you use or help with oil control is a must especially when you need your makeup to last 8 whole hours of a school day.
*Little eye shadow trios/quads are great for on the run, and simple colors like Wet N Wild walking on eggshells (Pictured) work well on many complexions and help accentuate your eyes without over doing it.
*A solid liner, wet, pencil or gel is a must and ca be a way to play up your makeup without going overboard.
*Mascara for all beauties like me with not the longest lashes is a must, also colored Mascaras if your school allows could be a fun addition to your look.
*If you like a little color on your cheeks then simple little brushes of blush or bronzer can help to warm up and brighten your face.
*Lip care is key for long hours out. If your a no color kind of girl then a lip balm or butter is needed and you can apply without a mirror. If you prefer a little tint something glossy but with moisture is a must. Are their any products you are loving for this school year? Wonders the rest of the world should discover?

Go to summer lip looks

Thursday, July 17, 2014

I know the norm for makeup, or the typical expectations is follow the trends and the seasons. I dont do any of that! MAkeup is about having fun, expressing yourself, i like to think of it as a temporary tattoo, body art for the commitment phobic. You can do whatever, be whoever, look however you want. And that goes from movie makeup and prosthetics to everyday foundation and blush.

These have been my go to lip looks in the last month or so, and im so not tired of them yet. They all dont follow the 'seasonal trends' but they make me feel awesome and the combinations are amazing and long lasting.


Look One-
* Little Mix by Collection Lipstick in Perrie
* UrbanDecay 27/7 glide on lip liner in Midnight Cowboy
* Butter London Lippy in Tea with the Queen

Look Two-
* MUA Kiss You Lipstick in Moments
* NYX Retractable lip liner in Soft Pink
* NYX Butter gloss in Eclair


Look Three-
* MUA Kiss You Lipstick in Be Mine
* NYX Retractable lip liner in Red
* Button London Lippy in Fiddlesticks

Look Four-
* Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya * Too Faced Perfect lips Lip liner in Perfect Nude * NYX Lip butter in Apple Strudel

Now MUA and Collection arent something sold in the states (Thank you ebay) but for those of you in the UK and other areas where it is sold i will link the sites. And you can find Urban Decay, NYX, Butter London and Too Faced here in the states at the one stop shop of Ulta, who i will also link below.

I line and then fill in my lips with liner. Then slather on the lipstick of choice, and then top with gloss. How much or little of the gloss depends on how thick or sticky it is but then even with the gloss my lips are set and last for hours if i dont eat or drink anything, and even then sometimes just needing a touch up.

Do you guys have any special tips or tricks for keeping your lips in place all day long?
