Would you rather beauty tag!

 I saw this tag done by Beauty Broadcast. As she is one of my favorite youtubers I thought I would give it a go. Hope you like it!!

 Would You Rather Beauty Tag


1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
I would rather lose my palettes and eye shadows because I am a big mascara and lip stick junkie. I never walk out of the house without mascara on and very seldom do I go sans lip stick.

 2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
 I have never been big on hair. I have had just about every cut you can imagine so it doesn't bother me either way. At the moment I'm growing my hair out so I guess for right now never being able to cut it sounds good. No temptation, right?

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral all the way!

 4. If you had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Makeup! I am a big drugstore makeup fan so if I had $1000 to spend on makeup MAC, and Sephora here I come.

 5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Eyeliner as a lipstick.

 6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora, it has so many brands and I don't own any MAC products anyways.

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
One eyeshadow color. I'm a neutral girl so hustle from the naked palette by urban decay would do me just fine.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer or summer clothes in the winter?
Winter clothes in the summer.

  9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Brights. I love bright neon polishes and it doesn't bother me to be out of season one bit.

 10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Eye product because there are so many good ones out there that could compare.

 11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Messy bun so many ways you can do a messy bun.

 12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?
Never use lip gloss. I don't wear it anyways can't stand the feel on my lips.

 13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or Sharpie them in everyday?
Sharpie!! Sounds harsh I know but I cant pull off the no eye brow look and with as many colors as Sharpies come in I could find one color that would work.

 14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
Nail polish. Its not a must my nails are seldomly painted anyways but I rarely go without some kind of make up product even if its just mascara.

Quick easy sunday lunch makeup

Today I juat wanted a quick easy and put together face. Light but enough to make me feel good enough to go out in. My skin has been super sensitive lately and my acne breakouts have been awful.
For my face i used Garnier bb cream the original one they came out with in light/medium. I like this bb cream because its just enough tint to even me out and also  sunscreen. Which is needed in this hot Oklahoma summer. One thing i dont care for in this bb cream is the dewiness. I am slightly oily in the t zone area and dewy is not my friend. So after my corrector by covergirl and olay under my eyes and concealer the instant age rewind by maybelline.  I apply a mattifying powder, i love the rimmel stay matte. Then i contour, blush and highlight. Using nyc sunny bronzer, elf blush in candid coral, and wet n wild reserve your cabana just on the top of my cheekbones.

Now on to eyes. I recently fell in love with makeup geek eyeshadows. For this look i used creme brulee as my transition color, and beaches and cream for my highlight. To deepen the crease i used matt batali by the balm. I also applied the balm shadow and creme brulee under my lower lash line. I applied covergirl lash blast to the lashes. I dont care for this mascara i dont feel like it does much for me.

My lips are my go to rimmel airy fairy.

Classic Pin-Up style

 Its been a long time since I have done a post and that is because I became quite busy in life a promotion at my job and a very active two year old to keep me on my toes. I decided though I should try again at this because it makes me happy and relieves stress. So here it goes hope you like it and if you do comment and let me know. Always helps to know you have someone cheering you on.
 I did this makeup quite a while ago. I went for the basic soft brown eyes, big lashes, winged liner, and red lip.
Although I don't remember all the products I used I can tell you what I would do to recreate this now.
For a flawless foundation I would use Revlon ColorStay Whipped (150 Buff) this foundation creates a beautiful matte finish to my skin and wears forever and is almost full coverage for me. I do need concealer under the eyes still so I would use my Covergirl and Olay Corrector then go over the top with Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser in Light. I would then use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent  to set the under eyes and in my t-zone. My favorites for checks are NYC Sunny Bronzer for contouring and Elf Candid Coral Blush. For highlighted glowy skin I use Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana on the tops of the cheekbones and down the nose.
 For my eyes I do this look a lot minus liner and lashes. The Naked Palette by Urban Decay is perfect for this look. Prime your eyes with Milani shadow eyes in almond cream. Then apply sin all over the lid and on the brow bone. Define your crease with buck then blend out with naked. On lower lash line take buck and naked again and blend together. Use a jet black eye liner pen like Jordana Fabu Pen to create the perfect wing. Then apply your favorite lashes, I'm pretty sure these are Demi Wispies for Walmart.Then add Jordana Best Lash Extreme in black to bond lashes together and also add to bottom lashes
For lip any blue based red will work but I used Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. Which is my favorite at the moment.

Nude lippies

Last but not least nudies!! These are my everyday colors that I rotate throughout the week.
(1st swatch from left) L'Oréal infallible  lipstick in unending kiss
love this color because it lasts and doesn't dry out my lips. 
(2nd swatch from left)Wet n wild in just peachy (matte)
This color is amazing but its super drying. I find I like to pair this with a clear gloss. 
(3rd and final swatch) Rimmel lasting finish in airy fairy
This is my all time favorite throw in your purse without a mirror lipstick. Love this so much. Literally wore this two months straight when I first got it.
I love theses nudes because they don't look like concealer they are your lips but neutral.

Red lippies

Next are my red lipsticks! I love red lipsticks to death. I would wear it every day if only I could.
(1st Swatch from right) Nars velvet matte lip pencil  in Cruella. This is a dark blue based red. I love this because of the staying power and the fact that it doesn't feather outside your lips. For being a matte it isn't terribly drying either.
(2nd Swatch from right) L'Oréal infallible lipcolor in Beyonces red. This is a bright blue based red. I love the staying power on this but application is tricky and practically not fixable if you go outside the lines. It is horribly drying to the lips and cracks off in uneven patches. The balm is just a pain because you have to reapply so much.
(3rd Swatch from right) Wet n wild stoplight red (matte). This is a bright orange based red. It's a beautiful color but like all wet n wild matte lipsticks its really drying on the lips.
(4th Swatch from right) L'Oréal  infallible in refined ruby. This is deep blue based red with a semi shiny finish. I love this color. It's Judy time is the reason I own this color and I have to say I know why she loves it. It's got beautiful staying power and not at all drying to the lips.
(5th Swatch from right) Rimmel lasting finish  lipstick in temptation. This is another blue based red that is very deep and vampy. (Can we see a trend?) I love this formula it is long wearing and not drying. It also has a bit of gold sparkle they it but nearly undetectable on the lips.

Overall I love blue based red lipstick. L'Oréal hit it out of the park with this one I love love love it. 

Pink lippies

Next are the pink lippies.
(Top Swatch) Covergirl jumbo gloss balm  in 215 watermelon trust.
This is a new purchase and I haven't gotten to try it out much. It is a beautiful pink though.
(2nd Swatch from top) Maybelline vivids lipstick in vivid rose
This is a beautiful, bright, vibrant color. The pigmentation is amazing! Love love love it.
(3rd Swatch) L'Oréal shine stain in coral tattoo this is also a new purchase. I wore it once already but it is kinda odd. It's sticky and feels weird on the lips. 
(4th Swatch) Mirenesse lip bomb in 4
This is a rich pigmented lip color and I love it. It's thick and stays put for a while. I got the in an ipsy bag and I love it.
Overall my favorites are the maybelline and mirenesse lippies. They are super pigmented and fun to wear.

Revlon lippies

Hey today I just wanted to share my Revlon lippies with yall.
(1st from left) Revlon colorburst lipstick in soft nude- This color is a very pale nude. It almost borders the concealer looking lips which I don't care for personally. This was an impulse YouTube buy and I regret it sadly. 
(2nd Swatch)Revlon lip butters in creme brulee This color is a sheer light nude and with it being so sheer I find it easy to wear, just don't over do it. This lip butter feels very hydrating to my very dry lips. Love this nude! 
(3rd Swatch)Wild watermelon (le) -This is pinky color leaning towards the red family when built up. I love this color unlike the other lip butters I find this lasts a long time because it almost stains your lips. It also is very build able.
(4th Swatch) Berry smoothie- This is a pinky berry toned color. I love this for everyday I find it extremely easy to wear. I do find this one just doesn't hydrate as well. 
(5th Swatch) Sweettart- This is a baby pink when built up. I love this im usually not a baby pink wearer but this when sheer is wearable for . 
(Across bottom) Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in precious-This is a pale pinky nude. This is my only balm stain for a reason I just cannot get into them. It accentuates my dry lips and has a horrible smell. I don't find this stains my lips either.
Overall I love Revlon lip butters!! With so many shades to choose from you can't go wrong.
