Face Of The Day (FOTD)

My bangs are a result of a twist out. I wore my hair in a french twist on this day.

Highlight much? (LOL)





































I was inspired by a beautiful scarf I bought from JcPenney's for $4 to create this look


I love paisley!
This scarf is light weight.
It is HUGE! I can wrap my entire body in it.
It could be used as a wrap, or a sarong, a headwrap or a neck scarf.

Springtime Orange (FOTD) Face Of The Day and Natural Hairstyle TOP KNOT

e.l.f. 100 Eyeshadow Palette

I picked up this palette for my teenaged daughter from Sears. It was on sale for $9.98! I believe that is the cheapest I've ever seen it. I have used e.l.f. eyeshadows in the past. I think they are ok. They work so long as I have a good primer and a secondary base. Not a bad price, right?




Do you own this palette?

Face Of The Day (FOTD) - Brrrr It's Cold!

Temperatures really dropped on the East Coast of the United States last week.
I was excited to do a full face of makeup, as the hectic holiday season previously left me tired an uninspired.
The warmth of my deep red lips seemed to warm things up for me. I love how they bring out the rich burgundy of my scarf and the oxblood cardigan.

Three e.l.f. Studio Brushes You NEED Now! - REVIEW

More often than not when there are items out of stock on the e.l.f. website, it means they are really good products. Fortunately, elf will notify you when the products are back in stock via email if you request it.
Such was the case when my curiosity was piqued about three new Studio brushes.
They retail for $3 each. This is a very affordable price point.

The shining star of the group has to be the
Flawless Concealer Brush.

Photo Credit: eyelipsface.com








The website states, "Create an airbrush effect with the Flawless Concealer Brush using any liquid or powder concealer. The unique rounded shape allows you to contour and cover areas easily. Create buildable coverage from light to heavy for a customizable look that is smooth and flawless."

Prior to purchasing this item, I had been using my MAC 224 brush to apply my concealer. The problem was, that brush is made from natural bristles. This means that it is pourous and absorbs more product. It also sheds like CRAZY.
Such is NOT the case with the elf brush. The head is larger. It is synthetic. I have not experienced any shedding. I picked up two of these babies.


Next up is the Angled Blush Brush.


Photo Credit: eyeslipsface.com








The website says, "The slanted shape of the Angled Blush Brush offers precision application for a sculpted look. The soft dense bristles contours facial features easily. Use with cream, liquid or powder blush, bronzers or highlighters for a professional result."

Prior to purchasing this, I had been using the elf Blushing, Blending and Bronzing Brush from their $1 line. It got the job done, but I had to work harder because it's bristles are not densely packed. I used that brush because my MAC 168SE is made from natural bristles. The MAC brush tends to pick up too much product. It also stains easily. The elf Studio brush is DENSE.
This is a bonus for me, because I do not have to continue to go back into the product again and again. I pack the brush & easily blend my contour lines. I still use the $1 brush only to apply and blend Bronzer for a gradient effect. I would love to buy 2 more of the studio brush!

Finally, the Small Stipple Brush is a welcome addition to my tool arsenal.


Photo Credit: eyeslipsface.com








The website says
"Use the Small Stipple Brush to create soft layers by adding texture for a natural airbrushed result. The two layers of bristles create ultimate control from sheer to heavy coverage for small and hard to reach places. Ideal with liquid, cream or powder products, foundation, concealer, and cream blush."
I purchased this to apply my highlight. It is perfect for this task! It grabs a tiny bit of product and helps to blend it with an airbrushed finish

I would love a couple more of each of the brushes.


Do you own any of these brushes?
Do you think you need to buy them?

Feeling Copper - Face Of The Day (FOTD)

Blackberry Pic
Although I have really been enjoying wearing bold dark lips, I felt like playing around with my copper lippies! I went for a monochromatic look.
I'm making a more concious effort to not present the mean mug/blank stare. I'm not a model. Beauty bloggers know you have to take a bijillion pics to get the perfect one. Over time you get to know your best angles. Light is critical.

Off Topic
I will probably be upgrading to an android phone next year, albeit reluctantly. As soon as I get to know one phone, I upgrade when hubby does. One advantage of that would be the ability to do Instagram.

Nail Polish Collection/Organization

I purchased two acrylic racks from Premier Nail Source.
They each hold up to 90 bottles of polish.
The shipping was pretty fast. The standard fee was $7.95.  I had to pay $5 extra for each because of the size of the shelf units. I also had to pay an additional $2.95 for residential delivery. This was the most affordably priced option for me. I am excited about my new storage because I can see everything that I have.
I can also see what is running low and needs replacing more readily.
I am planning to store these in a cool dark place.












I would like to buy two more units for future use.
Don't judge me. *smiles*

Look Of The Day - Cobalt Blue

I wanted to take the time to thank all of my loyal followers for continuing to stick with me despite my lack of consistent posts. Sometimes it is easy to get into a funk and not document what one is wearing.
My schedule has changed and I have not been able to post as frequently. I am working to remember to at least photograph Looks of the Day. I appreciate your support. I have missed you guys!

I finally got around to wearing my blue mock wrap dress which I purchased from metrostyle.com
I paired it with a black shell from Ashley Stewart for modesty.
I also wore my coordinating Peruvian Earring jewelry.

I love this dress!






























I really wanted to make good use of my NK HD eyeshadows.

My collection is nearly complete.

Look Of The Day (LOTD) Soft Canary Yellow Earrings

My goal was to wear coral lips and cheeks. I did not want to over power them with bold eyeshadow. I figured MAC RockIt Yellow would compliment the corals. However,
I was having a really hard time getting MAC RockIt Yellow to work. I ended up dabbing it off and applying NK HD eyeshadow in 3026. I had to apply that with my fingers. I think I may have used too much fix plus. Or maybe the brush I was using was not the right one.
