Mummy Makeup!

Are you guys prepared to see something truly creepy?! LOL my almost bare face...ha ha ha, NO really this is my costume reveal for this year and a pictorial of the steps I took to create my MUMMY look!

This is my final look! I love the way it turned out and practice makes perfect so hopefully by Halloween it will be even better.☺

What I used to complete this look:
Revlon Photo Ready: In a color lighter then my own (unfortunately I can't tell you the shade)
Maybelline Dream Pure BB: Medium Sheer also lighter then my own complexion.
bhcosmetics: Contour and Blush Palette (for white shade)
2 Coastal Scents Shadows: Vibrant Red and Antique Lilac
2 Morphe Shadows: In Coal ES28 and Velveteen ES72
MAC  Painterly and MAC Blacktrack fluidline gel liner
Jesse's Girl: liquid liner black
WetnWild:Fantasy Makers black

So go ahead and apply your very pale foundation, set everything with that stark white highlighting color in the palette. Then I used the red eye shadow and focused it on the bottom of the eyes, the corners and a little on the top. I used the black as the all over eyelid shade and used the gray to blend it all. As you can see I also shaded in my eyebrows ha ha ha. Who says a mummy can't have eyebrows on fleek?!

Whiteout your lips with the MAC painterly and use the gray eyeshadow to shade in your face, like you would normally contour but with gray.

Then comes a favorite part of mine. Make a kiss face and use your liquid liner to fill in your lines, kind of like a dramatic smoker mouth or smoker lips. Then I used the WetnWild lipstick in the center of my mouth leaving the rest white.

Here you want to use the gray, black and purple shadows to intensify the cheek bones and contours of the face. Deepen everything up until you are happy with the results.

I finished up by adding mascara, making more lines and adding black to my waterline and tightline.
Then you end up with a fabulous Mummy face and all you have left to do is add your bandages.

I really love the end result. Let me know what you will be this Halloween, I'd love to check it out.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a Spooktacular day!

 

August 2015 Monthly Favorites!

Hello lovelies how are you all doing today? I can't believe it's already Monthly favorites time. Today is the last day of August, like my goodness, this year is going by so quickly it's insane!
Anywho here are my monthly favorites, yep and one repeat from last month. I've been wearing it so much that it had to make another appearance.

Let's start with what I think is my new favorite all time candle from Bath and Body Works COCONUT LEAVES...OMG its AMAZING! This sent is delish!
It says that it's A Tantalixingly tropical mix of coconut milk, macademia nuts and fresh grren sugarcane.

Next up is the Makeup Forever Pro Finish Powder in  the shade 120

This is such a beautiful powder. I get extra oily in the summer months, and I love that I can throw this into my purse and touch up whenever I feel I need it without looking like a cake face. It is so soft and smooth, it's a must have product.

Next up we have Maybelline Dream Bronze BB

Next up is the Lorac Heartbreaker palette. Click here to see a full review. This is the perfect summer palette. It's been fun.

Another must have summer item is this Maybelline the Falsies Flared waterproof mascara.
I have some pretty stubborn lashes that always point straight down. I use waterproof mascara year round to get them to stay up and pretty. I like this mascara a lot.

I try not to do repeats but somehow this one snuck in. I just love this color so much! It's the NYX butter lipstick in BLS17 POPS EXPLOSIF. The formula is so creamy and soft it's such a beautiful lipstick.
Next up is the Wet n Wild Contouring Palette in Caramel Toffee

This is such an inexpensive beautiful product, I plan on doing a full review very soon on this so please stay tuned. Just a heads up, it's SO worth checking it out!

Ok the last favorite for this month is the REVO lip balm in Strawberry!

I honestly think this is my new favorite lip balm of life. If it wasn't for me owning a ton of lip balms I would buy more of these. I completely plan on buying more when I get done with the rest I have. If you haven't tried them, do it! They do not disappoint!

Ok my loves, I am SO excited for September as it brings with it the fall season, my absolute favorite time of the year!

Maybelline Dream Bronze BB Review

Hey loves it's another drug store makeup review. I purchased this about a month ago and wanted to really test it out to give you all a full review.

What it claims to do:

BB cream with 8 great skin benefits for a sunkissed glow with a good skin twist.
For all skin types. Sheer coverage.

Why You'll Love It

BB creams combine skincare + makeup in 1 simple step. 8-in-1 sunkissed glow perfector:

• Illuminates skin
• Warms skin tone
• Evens
• Veils imperfections
• Protects with SPF 25
• Hydrates thirsty skin
• Refreshes
• Smooths

For Best Results

Apply a thin layer of Dream Bronze BB cream on skin. Can be used with or without a moisturizer.

My overall rating:

Price: I paid $7.99 at Walmart for this product, but the price will depend on where you buy it. It can vary but it's less than $10.
Packaging: I love the squeeze bottle. It makes it easy to control the amount you want to apply.
Longevity:  So if you mix this with another BB cream or foundation it will last just as long as the foundation does. If you wear it on it's own however it seemed to not last very long at all. Maybe 1-2 hours max. This is a product that does transfer, so just be aware and be careful.
Quality: This definitely gives you sheer coverage on it's own. I personally would not recommend wearing it alone as it does not provide enough coverage. It will not even out your skin or provide any form of coverage. It does provide a gorgeous healthy glow. On it's own I think that the glow is a little orange however mixed with another BB cream OR foundation it gives a beautiful natural glow.
Overall rating: a solid A This product has extremely fine glitter/shimmer. You do not feel any grittiness or texture at all. It is very smooth and it applies like a liquid highlighter. I love that it provides and SPF 25 and it doesn't have the strong scent of SPF It actually has no scent. This is a lovely product that I would recommend and would repurchase myself.

There you have it lovelies. I really do like this product. I am looking forward to continue using it in the cooler months to give me that sun glow. Other than the claims that it veils imperfections (which I didn't really think it would do by itself), all other claims seem to be true. I love to wear mine with either my regular Maybelline Dream Pure BB or the Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid Touch Foundation all of which I love.

Maybelline is one of my favorite drug store products and this one does not dissapoint.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Much Love,
