FOTD :: Vibrant Grape/Purple Day

I know you all are probably sick of purples on me lol.. but it just so happened that everyone at work wanted to wear purple to show support for our union.. and i wanted to wear purple.. nothing too crazy of course and decided to wear vibrant grape ;)

 Hope you all like it anyway! :)

FACE:

Stila One Step Foundation in Tone

MAC MSFN in Medium (to set foundation)

CHEEKS:

MAC Petticoat MSF (very, very lightly)

EYES:

MAC Vanilla e/s to highlight

MAC Plum e/s all over lid

MAC Vibrant Grape on outer corner/crease area

Flirt! Lash-a-delic Mascara in Black

Covergirl Liquiline Eyeliner in "Blackfire"

LIPS:

Flirt Lip Lacquer in "Paparazzi" 

Application Steps:

Eyes:

Applied UDPP with wand/applicator and then used ring finger to evenly apply all over lids

I Took a regular fluffy eyeshadow brush, picked up some Plum e/s and placed it all over the lid just a little bit above the crease. I then took a blending brush and applied Vibrant Grape e/s on the crease and outer corner and blended it out very well (winshield wiper motions & circular blending motions)

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

I then applied my eyeliner to both upper lashline and lowerlashline (partly stopping in the middle on the bottom). I 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 Sonia Kashuk Duo-Fibre brush and applied MAC Petticoat on the apples of my cheeks and then just continued from the cheeks upwards to the temples. 

LIPS:

Just applied Flirt Lip Lacquer

Teeny Tiny Sephora Haul

So i've been wanting to get the Stila Sumdgestick Eyeliner in Stingray (Jet Black) ever since a few days ago when i accompanied Karen to Ulta (her first time) and saw this eyeliner, swatched it and fell in love..but of course they ran out/sold out of both the pencil and the smudgepot in black (which i wanted to try out)..

and the lady told us they'd get the next shipment in Monday.. of course Monday came, I called, they didn't get it in.. and searched a few of the neighboring sephora's, ulta's.. with no luck! until TODAY! i called again and the lady at Sephora said they didn't carry that eyeliner (she'd never heard of it and that specific one they will not carry at Sephora) LOLOL.. well i asked her to look if they Had the Smudgepot in stock for Karen... and she placed me on hold.. low and behold 2 minutes afterwards, she came back saying, yes we actually do have that eyeliner and the smudgepot!

so i told her to put them both on hold for me.. Karen picked me up and we went to the mall (mind you it took us 30mins to get there cause i had to bring my oldest daughter Tianna who was kicking and screaming because she wanted to go with me).. we got there.. and this is a sephora inside JCPenny.. well omg i went in looking for the Stila section.. when omg omg i saw they had NARS! they didn't have it last time (well ig uess i was blind LOL).. but they had ONE left of the blush i've been lemming for! AMOUR! and yes I got the last one.. was only supposed to get the eyeliner.. but i called my hubby right away and said - i'm gettin the eyeliner... oh.. and.. this blush too! LOL ;) i'm so funny.. he laughed at me and said- duh go ahead!

So i left a happy camper.. I did want to buy brush cleaner lol, but i was so content with my purchase that well i didn't get anything else!

so here is me and my happiness with my newest additions ;)

Lol sorry i look tore up from the floor up.. this was at 10PM! a long days work LOL.. i cannot wait to try my newest products tomorrow! :) i'll try to do a FOTD! :)

Also - my hubby's chief/boss doctor gave him a sample for me to try out.. it's a small little set from a line called: Vivan MD Skincare.. i've personally never heard of them.. have any of you? But i checked out their website and saw their list of "clients" so to speak: http://vividmdskincare.com/clients.html

i don't know how true it really is - but i haven't came across any bad/negative reviews on this brand thus far.. well i'll try it out: the kit comes with the Satin Cleanser tub, Clear Skin Toner and Balancing Moisture Cream.. i'll try it out for a little and tell you all how i like it within the next few weeks.. ;)

I think that's it for now.. i gotta hit the hay.. and BIG announcement for you ALL to hear from me on Monday! :) tee hee so excited! I can't thank you all enough for everyone who's subscribed to my blog! :) i'm going to probably have a real mini giveaway to show my appreciation.. when i get some extra $$! :) 

stay tuned! till next time!!!
