Lippies Collection

Hello lovelies,

I swear I'm not a hoarder, but I never realized how many lip products I have and to be honest I hardly use half of them. With that being said I still don't think I could or would ever part with any of them. Who knows when an occasion or outfit may arise that you need that one specific lip colour. To some my collection may seem like a lot and to others, it may not. I don't have a huge makeup collection by any means, but my lip products for sure out weigh the rest. I am not bragging in this post by any means, I just thought that some may be interested in seeing what I have, as I rather enjoy reading and watching these types of blogs/videos.

So with out further adieu, here is my lippie collection....

Sephora 500 perk Review - Laura Mercier

Hello lovelies,

Last week I was at Sephora and I picked up my 500 perk gift. I had been waiting for something that I thought was worth the points and I saw this perk I had to grab it!!!

(sorry for the bad quality photos I was using my Ipod to take the pics :( )



The perk came in this little box and each piece was individually wrapped which I loved.



Looking at the size of the box and the size of each product, I was pretty impressed with what you get.
You get:
a sample size mascara, a sample size lip gloss, a mini sample of their foundation primer, a sample size eyeshadow (which is a really good size), and an almost full size eyeliner.



Lip gloss in sparkling; a dark pinky/peachy nude that smells and tastes like coffee beans mmmm...not at all as sticky as my MAC lip glosses


Kohl Eyeliner in black gold - the perfect dark gold colour and it glides on so smooth and light


mascara perfect for volume, has a wider wired brush and picks up just the right amount of product for a full eyelash look (no name on product)


Foundation primer in radiance. I'm not a big primer person but I have tried this and I just use it as a base where I use my concealer, under the eye and around my nose. So far so good, but it doesn't last no more than maybe 6 hours and I have found as normal(without the primer) I still need to touch up.


Baked eye colour wet/dry in Black karat - a light shimmery smokey gold colour, perfect for the crease. Glides on and stays on.



These are swatches of each product on my arm and my skin tone.
Left to right - the primer (has a light skin tone tint), eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipgloss
As you can see they are all super pigmented so I am very impressed with what I got.

If you have 500 beauty insider points with Sephora and this perk is available at your store grab it!!!! They are all amazing products that will actually last and they are pieces you will find yourself using everyday.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and please let me know if you want to see more reviews like this, because I personally love doing beauty/makeup reviews, but want to make sure its what you gals want too!!!

Outfit of the day - photoshoot

Hello lovelies,

So my boyfriend is really starting to get into photography and I am totally using this to my advantage. Whenever I have an outfit or makeup look that I want to blog about, he is now excited to shoot me!!! The only thing is he wants to edit them all, so it takes a tad bit longer for me to blog them. A side from that here is my outfit and makeup from the other day!!!














Outfit:
Dress/top: guess (from last year)
Jacket: dynamite (the same as in my last post, which I am so going to wear out this Fall because I LOVE it)
Earrings: a shop in NYC
Watch: aldo
Shoes(not shown): black genuine wedges

Makeup:
Urban decay naked 2 palette and Laura mercier black gold(from makeup kit I got at sephora for my 500 perk, which I will do a review on in my next blog)

How I achieved the look:
Foxy on lid
Half baked to middle of lid (inside out)
Chopper on top
Snakebite in crease
Laura mercier black gold in crease and outer corner
YDK over Laura mercier to add more shimmer
Bootycall as highlight on brow bone and inner corner
Chopper lightly dusted over Bootycall

Bare minerals black leather mineral shadow (wet) as an eyeliner
