What Makeup I Wore to Travel In (12+ Hours)

January 15, 2013 By StephanieLouise 566Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fwhat-makeup-i-wore-to-travel-in-12-hours.htmlWhat+Makeup+I+Wore+to+Travel+In+%2812%2B+Hours%292013-01-15+18%3A49%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fwhat-makeup-i-wore-to-travel-in-12-hours.html

So I had meant to take a photo yesterday but honestly I was so overwhelmed I just didn’t! I thought instead I’d list everything I wore & let you know how it held up at least!

Face:
L’Oreal True Match Foundation
Hard Candy Glamoflauge
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer for Darker Circles
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface
Skindinavia Skin Setting Spray (before foundation, after, & after all of my makeup)
Milania Multi Tasking Face Powder (not pictured sorry!)

Eyes:
ELF Eyebrow Kit (the powder)
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded (all over lid)
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold (crease)
Maybelline Colossal Waterproof Mascara

Lips:
Applying lip balm repeatedly like a mad woman.

Everything held up pretty well except my skin was pretty dehydrated. That is normal with flying though & there’s not much I can do about that! The mascara did make my under eyes faintly grey though so I’ll be trying another one next time. I tried to sleep through my first flight so I assume that’s why! I STILL had blush on…man I love the TARTE blushes! My eyeshadow also didn’t budge, props to Maybelline. The Color Tattoos are seriously an incredible creation for me!

Any suggestions on a mascara that won’t transfer for the flight back? What do you wear when you travel?

NEW Styli-Style Line & Seal 24 Hour Semi Permanent Eyeliner Swatches & Review!

January 11, 2013 By StephanieLouise 569Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fnew-styli-style-line-seal-24-hour-semi.htmlNEW+Styli-Style+Line+%26+Seal+24+Hour+Semi+Permanent+Eyeliner+Swatches+%26+Review%212013-01-11+12%3A56%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fnew-styli-style-line-seal-24-hour-semi-permanent-eyeliner-swatches-review.html

Photobucket

Flashback time! Who remembers Styli-Style? I loved them oh so much & was absolutely time warped with excitement when I heard they were coming back into stores near you! What’s different about the brand? They are definitely more cutting edge! Today I’m showing you a good example of that by swatching two of their Styli-Style Line & Seal 24 Hour Semi Permanent Eyeliner shades…& they’re really something!

From Styli-Style: Gel-like formula glides smoothly onto the skin and will remain there all day long – no reapplication needed! Available in 16 fun and wearable shades, this product is a basic necessity for everyone.

Photobucket

First of all, let’s look at packaging. They really though things out & went the logical route by letting you see on the outside exactly what you’ll be getting inside. If there’s glitter, you’ll see glitter. If it is orange, it will be orange. This is way handy for when you have a lot of eyeliners (don’t judge me) & are looking to snap one up fast. It is also awesome when you’re doing the actual shopping because if you don’t want something with glitter, you don’t have to guess!

Photobucket

The formula on these is great! They are super soft & apply like a kohl then set into a long wearing shade. This gives you time to smudge it out if you like! This also doesn’t flake on me which some long wear liners do after about 8 hours. Fading was minimal because once they set, they REALLY set!

Photobucket

The two shades I have are Tangerine & Black Glitter. Both shades are really nicely pigmented (check out how black that black is!) but they’re also a bit more special. Tangerine is a gorgeous shimmery orange with a flash of light pale gold. I don’t think I’ve ever had an orange eyeliner that was long wearing…where was this last fall! Black Glitter is an amazing shade because it is so pigmented yet you can still see the silver glitter! I don’t know if I’ve ever had a long wearing sparkling glitter eyeliner in black that was truly black! They’re usually that disappointing faded black shade.

I highly recommend checking Styli-Style out as it hits stores near you! I love these liners & was totally impressed on both lasting power & pigmentation. 2 big thumbs up! These retail for $5.99 each.

Do you remember Styli-Style? I’ve been hard at work putting their new products to the test & I have to say I’m really impressed! I have more to show you including some jumbo eyeshadow sticks, blush sticks, & glitter lip stains!

OFRA 3D Loose Shadow in Diamond Glitz + My December 2012 BB5 Box

January 8, 2013 By StephanieLouise 575Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fofra-3d-loose-shadow-in-diamond-glitz.htmlOFRA+3D+Loose+Shadow+in+Diamond+Glitz+%2B+My+December+2012+BB5+Box2013-01-08+00%3A04%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fofra-3d-loose-shadow-in-diamond-glitz-my-december-2012-bb5-box.html

Photobucket

 So for some reason I got my Beauty Box 5 Box really late this month & because it is decently into January I decided to combine it with an eyeshadow look in case you have seen lots of these. Trying to keep things entertaining! This box was ah-ma-zing & absolutely worth the wait!

Photobucket

What I got in my December 2012 Beauty Box 5 Box:

Photobucket

Jean Pierre Cosmetics Exfoliating Facial Cleansing Pads (Full Size): These are $1.99 for 16 pads which is a great deal. I haven’t used these yet but they look like they will be great for travel!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Everyday Minerals Flat Top Kabuki Brush (Full Size): Absolutely amazing. I love Everyday Minerals & I never get tired of them popping up in my BB5 boxes. This brush retails for $12.99 & is worth every penny! I used it to apply my Maybelline Dream Lumi Foundation here & amazing coverage! It isn’t too dense or too much like a stippling brush…this is the perfect in between!

Photobucket

MaskerAide Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask (Full Size): At $4.99 this is a reasonably priced one-time mask & has about the cutest packaging ever. With the beer can curls (yes!) to the pink boa…this image is full of awesome! I like that this is called “Party Prep” which can be used before going out. I haven’t seen anything like that specifically!

Photobucket

OFRA Cosmetics 3D Eyeshadow in Diamond Glitz (Full Size): Whaaat! Hello gorgeous! First of all, 4 grams of products…that’s a lot! For $19.90 I’m willing to dish out the cash. For reference, Bare Minerals loose shadows contain .57 grams of product. Now this color is absolutely gorgeous & is a brown/green duochrome. Love. This is one of my favorite combos ever & pictures really can’t do it justice. Perfection.

Photobucket

Demeter Roll On Perfume Oil in Cherry Blossom (Full Size): Let me just say I would have never ever even picked this shade up. I very rarely go for Asian scents they just don’t appeal to me. I would have been missing out! This has the cleanest, juciest scent & although it is definitely a delicate floral the fruit shines through on my body chemistry & smells amazing! Um, I now need a full size.This rollerball is only $10.00 & I can see it lasting a very long time!

Photobucket
Photobucket

So for this eyeshadow look I used Too Faced Show Insurance, Covergirl Lashblast 24 Hour in Black, Jordana FabuLiner in Black, Milani Liquid Eye Pencil in Black, & of course OFRA Cosmetics 3D Eyeshadow in Diamond Glitz.Swoon swoon swoon!

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty subscription service & man did it impress me! Check it out & snag your own! I can’t get over this eyeshadow, seriously, swoon.

NEW Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliners in Black, Brown, & Sparkling Black Review & Swatches

January 4, 2013 By StephanieLouise 581Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fnew-rimmel-scandal-eyes-waterproof-kohl.htmlNEW+Rimmel+Scandal+Eyes+Waterproof+Kohl+Kajal+Eyeliners+in+Black%2C+Brown%2C+%26+Sparkling+Black+Review+%26+Swatches2013-01-04+16%3A55%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fnew-rimmel-scandal-eyes-waterproof-kohl-kajal-eyeliners-in-black-brown-sparkling-black-review-swatches.html

Photobucket

This may shock you guys (NOT!) but I find myself way impressed with Rimmel lately. I have been anticipating these new releases because I watch quite a few international youtubers & they tend to get things first! FleurDeForce, who is pretty much gorgeously amazing, has been recommending these handy liners & comparing them to NARS. I quickly jotted down their names & impatiently waiting…& now they’re here!

Photobucket 

I found these on a display along with the eyeshadow jumbo sticks & snapped up all 3 available shades. Packaging wise these are pretty standard but I’m digging the clear caps that actually stay on. These have silver metallic writing on them so excuse the difficulty to photograph them! These will need to be sharpened.

Photobucket

Left to right Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliners in Black, Sparkling Black, & Brown

Guys I am SO impressed. First of all, let us talk about this black shade. So soft, so creamy so smudgeable, SO waterproof! This is also so black! I think this rivals some of my blackest blackest & I feel like maybe it is time to compare my blackest liners after this! Obviously when I think waterproof, I think waterline. & this actually works for me! I am so impressed! After about 4 hours it still looks nice & after 6 I could see wear. For me, that is wonderful & I do currently have allergy eyes so I’m excited to see how this works when my eyes are dryer! If I apply it to my eyes (not the waterline) it lasts all day.

Sparkling Black & Brown are both big hits for me as well! I personally don’t wear dark brown eyeliner because I feel like I prefer black but I do love a good medium brown shade! This is a gorgeous cool toned medium brown with some barely there bronze shimmer. I’ll have to see if this dupes any of my high end medium browns.

This Sparkling Black is a unique & lovely surprise. Normally, blacks with shimmer or glitter just look off to me. After I apply them I always think “That would look better just black.” While I still prefer black, this is a gorgeous shade of graphite PACKED with silver glitter.  want to call them flecks…but they are super fine but a tad larger. This is the first sparkling black where the glitter doesn’t irritate me, transfers well, &actually lasts! This has real pigment to me instead of just a skipping glitter liner. I think this will be amazing with a pretty smoky eye!

I felt the need to post about these ASAP because they’re new to the US Rimmel line & I honestly haven’t seen much coverage! Have you checked these out? What shades look good to you? Would you guys be interested in a post or video about my black eyeliner favs & fails?

New Years Eyeshadow: Think Pink in the New Year!

December 31, 2012 By StephanieLouise 588Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F12%2Fnew-years-eyeshadow-think-pink-in-new.htmlNew+Years+Eyeshadow%3A+Think+Pink+in+the+New+Year%212012-12-31+21%3A25%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F12%2Fnew-years-eyeshadow-think-pink-in-the-new-year.html

Photobucket

So for this New Year’s eyeshadow look, I thought I’d go pink! I have seen lots & lots of purple looks (my go to shade!) so I thought I’d go with a bright pink instead of glitter. I used a palette I don’t use much but really love as well! For everything I’ve used, just keep reading!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Eyeliners: Jesse’s Girl Kohl White Eyeliner in my lower rim, Covergirl Liquiline Blast in black on my upper waterline, & Jordana Fabu Liner Liquid felt tip liner in black on the lashline.

Eyeshadow: Coastal Scents Think Pink Palette ( I used the shades HP-ME20, HP-ME07, M08, & ME23 in case you want to purchase the Coastal Scents Hot Pots.) If you want to use your own shades I used a frosty white highlight, fuchsia pink base shade, frosty mauve pink inner corner, & black with fine pink glitter in my crease.

Mascara: L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

What do you think? What color are you bringing in the new year with? How do you wear your pink eyeshadow? PS the nails in the top photo are my New Years manicure which I posted earlier!

NEW Maybelline Color Tattoos Metal Collection Review & Swatches!

If you have been following me for awhile, then this post will come as no surprise. I’m obsessed with Maybelline Color Tattoos. Their price point is great & these shades have been a total hit. I’m found a few shades I’m not a huge fan of but you can always find a way to use them. From gel liners to eyeshadow bases to a fab eyeshadow on its own, I consider these must haves.

Original Maybelline Color Tattoo Swatches & Review

This post has been a long time coming & is probably crazy detailed. I’ve been wanting to review these for some time but when I do a review I was to be CERTAIN about my convictions. I wanted to use each of these numerous times in different ways so I could fully answer any questions & explain my experiences. Basically, I like to not be full of…well full of it in general.

So earlier today I raved about my December Starlooks Starbox & promised to show you a look using the awesome palette inside! I loved this look so much, definitely a fun Christmas look! It was just my hubby & I this year so I didn’t play it safe! That white gold I adore so much was oh so lightly dusted on as a highlight.

Photobucket
 
I didn’t take lots of pictures of this look, but I adore the picture before! I think it came out really well even though I just did some quick photos!

Photobucket
This definitely made me think of a holiday season rainbow! What do you think? If you get a Starlooks Starbox, I’d love to see what kind of looks you have created!

Eyes: Dramatic Wet n Wild Shimmer ‘Til Morning Look + Tutorial

December 18, 2012 By StephanieLouise 604Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F12%2Feyes-dramatic-wet-n-wild-shimmer-til.htmlEyes%3A+Dramatic+Wet+n+Wild+Shimmer+%27Til+Morning+Look+%2B+Tutorial2012-12-18+17%3A39%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F12%2Feyes-dramatic-wet-n-wild-shimmer-til-morning-look-tutorial.html

Photobucket

I’m pretty excited to bring you guys a requested eye look today! I reviewed the Wet n Wild Sparkle ‘Til Morning Limited Edition Palette awhile back & got a few requests to do a tutorial for the left side of the palette as well. When I asked if you guys wanted to see something wearable (I consider the tutorial in that post to be pretty wearable) or something more dramatic the consensus was dramatic. Check out my tutorial below!

I used all 4 shades in the palette on the left side for this eye look…& it is super easy. I honestly forgot to put on eyeshadow primer before beginning so this is straight fro the pan. I love it, it was so fun in person!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Re-Create It:  I applied the copper crease shade to well..my crease. I worked that shade under my eye about 1/3 of the way as well connecting it to my crease. I then took that awesome definer shade & took that from my inner corner to about 1/4 of the way onto my lid. I then used a small crease brush to sweep it right above my socket bone to make a reverse cut crease. I also took that shade about halfway along my lower lash line. The brown eyelid shade was then lightly pressed onto the center of my eyelid & then blended at the edges on both sides & into the crease a bit. It should bend into the copper shade pretty seamlessly. I then popped just a touch of that between the two shades on my lower lashline to blend. I took the browbone shade with a fluffy brush very lightly below my brows.

Photobucket
Photobucket

On my cheeks I’m using one of my favorite blush shades of all time which is Heather Silk from Wet n Wild. On my lips is Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Peachy Keen.

I really hope you guys liked this look! I can’t wait to work with this side of the palette more in the spring/summer! This one is limited edition from Wet n Wild from the Holiday/Winter 2012 Collection but you might still be able to snag it? I’ve seen a few from this collection here & there! I found mine at Walgreens.

Wet n Wild Shimmer the Night Away 8 Pan Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches, + Eye Look!

Photobucket

So Tuesday I reviewed the Wet n Wild Sparkle ‘Til Morning 8 Pan Eyeshadow Palette & did a tutorial.I liked the flow so I thought I’d do the same with the Shimmer the Night Away Palette. I did all of these swatches without primer.


I did film wearing this eye look so you can see my monthly favorites video with it below!


Photobucket

Left Side Swatches are from top to bottom in the palette: shimmery icy white, metallic medium silver, dark grey with silver shimmer, & matte black with silver glitter. All of these are lovely & apply nicely to the eye.

Photobucket

Right Side Swatches are from top to bottom in the palette: pink based lavender with golden shimmer, fuchsia with a purple/blue sheen, medium purple with silver shimmer, & a bright blue shimmer. The pigmentation on this side was just okay swatched but it looked much better on the eye!

Photobucket

On my eyes is the right side of the Shimmer the Night Away Palette. Blush is Heather Silk & lipstick is Within These Adobe Walls Mega Shield which are both from Wet n Wild. I love this bright look! I also where Within These Adobe Walls so often. Love it. I really liked this palette but I feel like the pigmentation wasn’t as good as Sparkle ‘Till Morning.

What do you think of this palette? I like both sides quite a lot. I’ll also have a look coming up that was requested using the left side of the Sparkle ‘Till Morning Palette which I reviewed & such a few days ago. I love when you guys request things, it lets me know what you want to see!
