FOTD- Beachy with a touch of Mysterious

(heehehe my hair is uncontrollable ^__^)

I was bored/being unproductive today so I decide to play with my new ELF mineral eye shadows. Of course the first one I reached for was Beachy =) I decide to do a blue smoky eye.

Products used:

Eyes: WetnWild Color Icon palette in Greed (the ones used are outlined)

Physician's Formula Gel Liner for Brown Eyes (the black one)

ELF Mineral eye shadows in Beachy, Mysterious, and Socialite

NYX eye pencil in Milk (not pictured, sorry!)

Estee Lauder Double Wear mascara

Lips: Revlon lip stick in Soft Nude

ELF Luscious Lipstick in Nude Pink

On cheeks: Physician's Formula Mineral Wear blush in Blushing Glow (not pictured, sorry!)

Face: Revlon Photoready in Nude

Maybelline Fit Me powder in 120

Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Light

(I forgot to take pictures of all my face products! Typical me!)

I only took a picture of my right eye because my left eye is being weird.

I first used Milk as a base on my eyelid so the mineral eyeshadows can adhere to my eye better and be more pigmented. I then used Mysterious all over my lid. Then I used Beachy starting on the outer 1/4 of my lid and blended it inwards to 3/4 of the way with a fluffy blending brush. I layered Beachy until it's to my desired pigmentation. I use the black in the Greed palette in my crease and blended it outwards. The matte cream shade in the palette is used on my brow bone and blended it down. I then used Socialite on my lower lid. Then I used the matte black in Greed to line the waterline. Next Milk was used on the inner corners of my eye as a highlight. I lined my top lid with the Physician's Formula gel liner. Finally I curled and applied mascara. Whewwww!!!

For my lips, I put on Revlon Soft Nude the I layered ELF Nude Pink on top of it for shine. (Nude Pink is a prettyyyyyyyy color! Be on the look out for it in my ELF Haul Part 2)

Happy Chinese New Year FOTD+Tutorial

Happy Chinese New Year!!! Xinnian Kuaile!!! It's the year of the Rabbit. This is a golden look because that's the color that comes to mind when I think of Chinese New Year. Gold symbolizes wealth.

Products used (L to R):

Giovi eyeshadow palette

WetnWild Color Icon palette in Lust

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stain in Touch of Toffee

Rimmel Eyeful crayon in Flaunt

NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Mauvin' Uptown

1. Use cream eyeshadow as a base on the entire eyelid. This will help make the color pop and stay on longer.

2. Use the yellow color in the Giovi palette on 3/4 of the lid.

3. Use the pink color in the Giovi palette on the rest of the lid. Blend! Blend! Blend!

4. Use the WetnWild eyeshadow single Nutty on the crease. Blend! Blend! Blend!

5. Use the Rimmel eyeliner to line the top and bottom lid.

6. Use the L'Oreal eyeliner on the outer parts of the upper and lower eyelids

7. Use the color in the WetnWild Lust palette on the brow bone. Blend it into the eyeshadows.

8. Curl eyelashes and use your favorite mascara.

Ta Da!

I used NYC blushable creme stick on my cheeks and the Maybelline lip stain on the lips. You can use a darker lip color to make the look more dramatic. I did this in the day and my relatives are over, so I opted for a more natural look.

FOTD- Purple

I have Asian dark brown eyes and usually it's hard for me to make them bigger and stand out. I read that browns and purples are good for brown eyes so those are the colors I gravitate to more when choosing eye shadows. So...here's my first look of the day. It suitable in the daytime and the purple eye liner makes the look more interesting.

Here are the products I used: (clockwise form left to right)
