Tutorial :: Quick & Easy Blue Smokey Eye with Wet 'N' Wild Color Icon Palette in Pride

So this was really spontaneous (The quality isn't that great because I decided to film on my laptop instead).. but I wanted to quickly do a tutorial using the Wet N Wild Color Icon Palette in Pride. When I was recording I originally recorded everything from putting on my foundation, then the eyes, then the eyeliner, curling my eyelashes, mascara, the blush etc etc! lol.. but then realized it'd be not so quick anymore LoL! so i'll actually save that for another day.

Yes i'm aware it's not perfect! (well obviously cause i was in a hurry and was real pressed with time).. but it's decent and it works (for me at least lol).. so yea! if you want to watch the video, please do! 

The video is longer than i expected  because i was doing both eyes (instead of just doing one on the video)

So hope you like the video - i know i'm such a dork haha! anywho, here are the products that I used in the look:

FACE:
Stila One Step Foundation in 'Tone'
MAC Well Dressed for Blush


EYES:
NARS Smudgeproof Primer
Wet N Wild Palette in "Pride"
Covergirl Liquiline eyeliner in "Blackfire"
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

LIPS:
MAC Easy Lounger Lipglass

**FYI** My old youtube channel (youtube.com/randomnesswithkhris), will now be moving all my videos etc to my new channel to match my new blog etc (youtube.com/MyFitBeauty) so please, please, subscribe to my new channel!

And now on to the Tutorial:

And the final Product ;)

Let me know what ya think! And if you haven't yet - please subscribe to my channel! it's FREE!

FOTD :: Coral Delight

Sorry for the cheesy title LoL! but today was just that, mainly coral colors.. thought i'd add the lovely pop of color on the waterline for some fun! I'm not used to, not wearing black eyeliner all around.. but thought it was a great change! Let me know what you think!

FACE:

Korres Face Primer

Stila One Step Foundation in Tone

MAC MSFN in Medium

CHEEKS:

MAC Light Over Dark Mineralized Duo Blush

MAC By Candlelight to highlight only

EYES:

MAC Blanc Type eyeshadow to highlight

MAC Coral Eyeshadow all over lid

MAC Handwritten on outer corner/crease area (very, very lightly)

Flirt! Lash-a-delic Mascara in Black

FLirt! Look of love eye pencil in Bluephoria (on lowerlashline/waterline area)

LIPS:

Maybelline color sensational "The Pearls" collection lipstick in Coral Gleam

Application Steps:

Eyes:

(Totally forgot to wear any primer/base - as i originally thought i was not going to wear eyeshadow today)

I Took a regular fluffy eyeshadow brush, picked up some Coral e/s and placed it all over the lid just a little bit above the crease. I then took a blending brush and applied very lightly handwritten e/s on the crease and outer corner and blended it out very well.

I then took a Fluffy brush and applied MAC Blanc Type e/s to my highlight/browbone area and blended any harsh edges.

I then applied my eyeliner only to the lower lashline. II then Curled my eyelashes and applied the mascara.

FACE:
I used a MAC 109 Brush to pick up some Stila One Step Foundation and buffed it into the skin (a little goes a long way). I then Applied MAC MSFN with a MAC 134 brush.

CHEEKS:
For Blush I used the ELF Studio Blush brush and applied MAC Light Over Dark on the apples of my cheeks and then just continued from the cheeks upwards to the temples. I then applied with that same brush (on the other side) MAC By Candlelight MSF just to the cheekbones

LIPS:
Just applied Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Coral Gleam

Hope you all liked it!

FOTD : Love my Purples

So by now, you all probably know i tend to favor wearing purple! :) today monday, i decided to wear my Hello Kitty Scrub top and black dickies pants.. :) so comfy! because I know today is going to be a rough day (monday's usually are)..

so this is the quick look i did for today & products used:

FACE:
MAC Studio Finish Concealer NW25 (under eyes)
MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer in NC20 (redness around nose/ red spots)
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium

Cheeks:
MAC Goddess Blush on apples of cheeks
MAC Stereo Rose MSF on cheeks
MAC Emote (contour)

Lips:
MAC Easy Lounger Lipglass

Eyes:
MAC Fresco Rose Paint Pot (as a base)
MAC Dame's Desire e/s on lid
MAC Hepcat e/s on crease
MAC Nocturnelle e/s outter corner/slightly on crease
MAC Beauty Marked e/s Outter corner
MAC Next to nothing e/s for highlight
Bobbi Brown Ink Gel eyeliner in black

EYES:
First I started off with MAC Fresco Rose Paint pot and applied that all over the lid with my ring finger. and just a teeny tiny bit above the crease. I then took a Studio Tools Medium eyeshadow brush and put on MAC Dame's Desire on top of Fresco Rose. I then took a MAC 226 Brush and applied MAC Hepcat e/s all over the crease and blended with windshield wiper motions and also upwards to blend any harsh edges. I then took that same MAC 226 brush and took MAC Nocturnelle e/s and applied it to the outter corner and bringing/sweeping it lightly towards the crease blending it. I then took MAC Beauty Marked (with same brush) and put it only on the outter corners.. (to make a "V" shape).. then i took a fluffy eyeshadow brush and took MAC Next to nothing e/s and applied as my highlight on the brow bone and also blended out any harsh edges.

FACE:
So I used MAC Studio Finish concealer in NW 25 and applied it to my dark circles (using my ring finger). I then took MAC Select Cover up in NC20 with a MAC 130 brush and applied/blended on the corners of my nose and redness on my cheek (acne). I then Applied MAC MSFN with a MAC 134 brush.

CHEEKS:
For Blush I used the ELF Studio Blush brush and applied MAC Goddess Blush on the apples of my cheeks. I then took MAC Stereo Rose MSF and lightly went over MAC Goddess Blush. I then contoured with a MAC 109 brush and used MAC Emote to contour.

LIPS:
Just applied MAC Easy Lounger to the lips.

Review :: Glam'Eyes Single Eyeshadows By Rimmel

So I was browsing the aisle of Target the other day, and Saw these eyeshadows in the Rimmel section. The colors were quite appealing and i didn't really having anything quite like it, and for the price $2.99, I couldn't pass it up!

I only got two colors: Posh Peacock, Spicy Bronze

It has really cute font on it's packaging (i'm a sucker for cutesie font) and the colors itself are really gorgeous!

Here are some swatches:

Posh Peacock

Spicy Bronze

they had some other colors, and for $2.99, i think i'd get them all. only because for days I do not want to use my MAC/high end shadows.. i think this is perfect.. especially how they are singles, and you can bring them with you for touch ups if you wanted to. Plus it's only $2.99 - so what do you have to lose? the colors are rather gorgeous and there is no fall-out! (for me at least - on these two shadows in particular) they have a sort of velvety/satin feel when applied to the skin (when i had swatched them on my arm)..

I cannot wait to actually use them for a fotd/look etc.. :) but so far - so good! I think if you're on a budget and don't have a lot to spend and want to have some colors, these eyeshadow singles are perfect!

Packaging: 3/5
Product: 4/5
Value: 5/5 ($2.99 at my local Target)
Ease of Use: 5/5
Overall: 4/5

Recommend?: Absolutely! like I mentioned - it's great if your starting out with make-up/eyeshadows, are on a budget, or just want some eyeshadows to play around with.. these are perfect for the price!

**Disclaimer: this product was purchased by me, I was NOT paid to review this product. this was all on my own behalf**
