Now that you’ve seen my review of the Urban Decay Wired Pressed Pigment Palette (see it here!) & the Urban Decay Wired 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Jolt, Amped, Shock, & Vivid (see it here!) – I wanted to share some eye looks! I also used all Urban Decay products to create them (from primer to brows) so I’ll be noting those items as well! If you haven’t checked out my reviews- please be sure to do that first so you know about the texture & opacity of each shade! [Read more…]
Urban Decay Wired Pressed Pigment Palette Review, Swatches, & Eye Looks
The Urban Decay Wired Pressed Pigment Palette made me gasp when I saw promo images. It’s here- the followup of the oh-so-beloved Urban Decay Electric Palette! I still have my original palette (nostalgia to the max) so I was practically jumping at the chance to love on Urban Decay brights in a new format. Inside you have six eyeshadows to the left & four pressed pigments to the right which are labeled “not for use around the eye” very boldly. Keep reading to check out my thoughts! [Read more…]
Make Up For Ever Star Lit Powder Pigments Swatches & Review
Pigments have always had a special place in my heart. I discovered really cheap formulas when I was in middle school but they were absolutely the best. Back in the day, the drugstore just didn’t have very many good eyeshadows. Discovering pigments opened up so many options. Granted…I probably should’ve have been allowed to rock baby blue metallics as much as I did…but that is in the past. Today I’m talking about the Make Up For Ever Star Lit Powder Pigments– they’re incredibly stunning & the formula is pretty flawless. Keep reading to see all my shades! [Read more…]

The Glossybox for December 2014 Will Blow Your Mind!
Glossybox has quickly become one of my favorite subscriptions & I definitely look forward to unwrapping it every month! While a bit more expensive- Glossybox tends to offer larger sizes, high end brands, & often many full sizes as well. It is a hit.
This Glossybox is way above & beyond. The packaging is completely different from my usual sleek, pink box. This month for their holiday edition you see a gorgeous red velvet etched box with gold detailing. I love this change up- very cold weather & holiday-esque. [Read more…]

NEW Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments Eyeshadow Swatches & Review
When it comes to eyeshadows from the drugstore, the Maybelline Color Tattoos are easily some of my favorites. I wear them as eyeshadow bases nearly day to day & also wear them on their own. When I heard they were coming out with pigments…I was ecstatic. I LOVE pigments! These are the first true mainstream/drugstore pigments I’ve tried that weren’t some form of sheer. After reading some reviews I picked up 7 shades. I have since picked up all but one! Keep reading to see my swatches & thoughts! [Read more…]

I have to say, I’ve been so excited about this post! It has been my favorite idea because all I used was easy to find drugstore makeup.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold & The Body Needs Aspen Gold
So I wore this look a few days ago & really loved it. I knew I wanted to use Maybelline’s 24 Hour Color Tattoo as my base because it had been…one of THOSE days! Humid, blah, meh. So Bold Gold it was & my goodness is it a stunning gold or what? Normally I use these as a base & cover them up, but not this time! I was feeling the gold so I pulled out a crease shade. I love gold & green so it was natural I would reach for The Body Needs eyeshadow in Aspen Gold for my crease shade. A light dust of my Become Beauty Bronzer/Highlight duo on the highlight side (this contest is still open guys, remember to enter!) & I was thrilled.
