Golden Swag

I have this habit where i play with different eyeshadows and experiment with collaborating colors to create a smokey eye for fun. I've played with multiple colors, but was just too lazy to take pictures of it. 

Now since i've started a blog, i will try my best to take pictures of the looks and post them.

For starters i was inspired by one of TiffanyD's eye makeup tutorials on YouTube, where she used a navy Stila Kajal Eyeliner as a smudge liner for a base color so i decided to give the eyeliner a try. (Yes, this look was mainly to experiment with the Stila Kajal Liner) I chose to stick to my neutrals and used gold/brown/bronze.

Color in "Tiger"

Eye Products used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance to prime my eyes

Stila Kajal Eyeiner in Tiger to smudge out on the outer corner & use as a base color

MAC Satin Taupe on the outer half of the eye

Loreal HIP Duo in Shady836- Gold side for my inner half of the eye & bottom inner 1/3 of my lashline

Shady836 (again)- Dark Brown side for a touch of noticeable color on top of the Satin Taupe, on the outer corner

Lancome Artliner to line my upper lashline

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline to line the outer 3/4 of my lower lashline

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara for my bottom lashes (i did not curl nor apply mascara on my upper lashes for this look)

Brushes used:

Sephora I.T. Smudge Shadow Brush to smudge out the Stila Kajal Eyeliner

ELF Professional Blending Eye Brush to apply Satin Taupe

ELF Professional Eyeshadow Brush to apply the HIP Gold

ELF Professional Defining Eye Brush to apply HIP Brown

Sephora Professional Rounded Crease Brush in #13 to blend out harsh edges

Toki Doki Eyeliner Brush to apply Blacktrack Fluidline

Other:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brown Pencil in Medium Brown for of course, my eyebrows

YSL Anti-Cernes Multi-action Concealer in #3 Pink Beige with the Sephora I.T. Concealer Brush to hide my eye bags (ha ha!)

Carmex Chapstick to moisturize my lippies

FINITO!

**This is my first post for eye makeup so i didnt take any photos for a step by step picture tutorial, but my next post relating to eye makeup, will show the procedure.

Product Review: YSL FARD À LÈVRES ROUGE PUR SPF 8


I honestly much prefer the ysl fard a lèvres over their infamous rouge volupté lipstick. Fact being that the rouge volupté is more of a creamy texture which when applied, feels more sticky and easily smudgable. As for the fard a lèvres, the stay power seems to last longer, which means i don't have to constantly check myself in the mirror for smudges and mess ups. I mean c'mon who wants a lipstick that bleeds all over your mouth like you just made out with somebody.


One thing about this lipstick that i wish they had done better in is the packaging. Not like the rouge volupté, where it's heavy duty and very well constructed, the packaging of this lipstick is made of plastic, painted gold. It's super lightweight and just doesn't give that luxurious feeling as what the rouge volupté gives when you hold it. But that's just my opinion.


These retail for $30.00 at Sephora. A bit pricey for a lipstick though, especially since the packaging suck. But overall, worth the price for the texture and stay power, plus the fact that it stays true to color when applied.
