FOTD 'Chromlit'

So my lovekins when I was getting ready to start this I was going to say that it was ONLY Thursday and then was like *blink blink* It's Thursday!!!!! We are almost there! Weekend woooooo!!!!!! But seriously it has been a long week for me.A loooong emotional week.I was 'relieved' of my job for making a phone call to Netflix from a company phone haha but they had been looking for a long time for me to make a mistake.I've come to the conclusion that I need to stop chasing deskjobs and find me a job where I can sparkle.....maybe massage so I can molest people or a make-up artist so I can smear paint all over people or a tattoo artist if ya know...People trust me with a needle v.v At any rate your massage theRAPIST artist tattooer decided to use her freetime to set some things up.Got my channel on! And made my first youtube video! Squee so excited!!!! Check it out...its so noob but hey lol I tried.At any rate proud of the things I have going on right now.I also have a Facebbok page now please check the links at the end of this posting to check them out and show some love.

I hate to start the rest of this on a depressing note BUT on that more sober note some close friends of mine had a tragedy happen to their newly developing family yesterday and whatever spiritualness you may have I'd appreciate a bit of it thrown in their direction.I know I'll be praying for them.Now on to the lighter stuff.




So for this look I did my normal face.Nicely washed.I skipped my Loreal Skin Genesis today...it was so super hot out and I wanted a lighter face the whole I'm meeeelting....meeeeelting thing just didn't feel like the appropriate direction to go for today.So washed face straight into my Perfecting Base then foundation and some face powder.Now the fun part! My eyes I primed with some Pixi Lustrous Eye Primer.I really should do a review on that stuff cause even by itself it gives you like a shimmery glow....Super love it! So ja eye primer and then I took a Wet n Wild White Kohl Liner and lined my lower lashline and filled in my upper lid to the crease just to give my shadow something to stick to.I made sure to kind smudge this in with a finger gently.( I like poking myself in the eye >.O)With my fav brush (it's a smudge brush but I use it for everything) I laid just a taupe pinky color on my brow bones as a highlighter blending above the white and blurring the line a tad.Next up with a slightly bigger brush I laid down just a bright white shadow to make the upcoming colors a bit brighter.

By the way any colors I use OTHER than my sample of Sugar Pill came out of my 120 Palette that I got for five bucks at Walgreens hahaha.Crayon licker on a budget v.v

I recently in the past month bought me some Sugar Pill and if you haven't tried her shadows yet you don't know what you're missing out on lol.I got Darling for my wedding cause my colors were kinda similiar but she also sent me a sample of Tipsy which is like a really cool lime green color.Super pigmented! So I used my little sample of Tipsy (I say little but honestly she sends you a little baggy and it'll probably last me a good while....*snorts* A baggy....with green stuff....eeeehehehe) and laid it into the corners of my eyes...from my tear ducts to just about the middle of my lid with a thin brush.I just laid the color until it was at the intensity I wanted it.Next up with my smudge brush I laid a bright carribean blue at the mid section of my lids blending slightly into the Tipsy.Outer corners I came in and pressed a bright violet into the corners blending in along the crease with long swoops of the brush.

I finished up with a dark turquoise color just pulled down at the corners of my lower lashline.My waterline I filled in with  Maybelline New York Unstoppable Liner in Onyx and tightlined as well with it.I curled my lashes and swooped on some Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto then curled AGAIN cause I really like the better swoop you get curling with wet mascara on it.A quick glide of some Plumper Wet N Wild Pink lip gloss and poof....Chromlit! I really enjoyed doing this and wearing it out.Got lots of compliments on how sparkly I was today haha! Did wonders for my self esteem...Booyaka!

FOTD!!!! Summery Look

I recently went to the beach...in jeans...Yeah epic fail v.v I mean ya know sometimes there is a lovely breeze and it's all beautiful tropical comfortable but this time it was just hot.The heat was rolling off the sand,the sun was glinting off the buildings and slapping me repeatedly in the face.I mean I am wondering if that day was like let's see if we can melt Digi day wouldn't that be fun?! Squee!!! >.< At any rate I ended up frolicking into one of those little shops on the boardwalk for some A/C and decided I just could not go on.I spent an astronomical amount on a beach dress supposedly made in India.Now while my general opinion on these types of dress is 'Blech! I look pregnant with triplets!' this one actually grew on me.It makes me feel breezy and summery and al that jazz and I put it on today and decided HEY! I think I'll do some summery make-up to rock this shit.So here ya go my Face Of The Day.

So here's my face with nothing on it.All I did was wash up with my St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. I love my scrub. I only use it three-four times a week like the bottle suggest but when I do I love how smooth it makes myself.I like starting with a nice washed face cause my pores tend to be smaller immediately after washing.

So! I started out prepping my face by first applying my Soap and Glory Super Eyes Instant-Action Moisturizing Eye Gel. I love Soap and Glory products but alas they are only available in the UK and you might get lucky to find some online.Also I don't think they make the Super Eyes anymore but I LOVE how it tightens up the whole area of my lids and under-eyes.Next up was my Loreal Paris Ideal Skin Genesis Pore Minimizer Serum .Now I bought this off of All Cosmetics Wholesale (Love this site).I mean it was a good price and I'll try anything once for my mammoth pores.I can't say I see a major difference but in my mind it says 'Pore Minimizer' on it so imma paint that stuff all OVER my face every chance I get haha.So at any rate I let that set on my face for a few minutes just so it had time to absorb and moved into applying my moisturizer.I personally use Clean & Clear Finishes Mattifying Moisturizer. It is pretty light oil free and leaves me with not alot of shine throughout the day.Again, I let it sit just so it can sink into my skin before applying anything else.I don't like to cake things.

Woot! So after all of that haha...I go in with my concealer brush and apply my magic in a jar Loreal Paris Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base.If you have huge pores or just pores that bug you this stuff is for you.Its like and fluffy and really just gives you a buffed look to start with.Once I have that on I went in with my concealer. I use a few but for this I used my Revlon Age Defying Concealer just to cover up any redness I had or spots.Blend blend blend! For foundation lately I've been loving Markwins Beauty Products  853 Cover Oil Free Liquid.It provides good coverage and feels cooling when I put it on my face.It's also really light weight and has lasting power for me.Once I'm nice and covered I finish up with some powder I use Maybelline new York Loose Powder Shine Free in Light.This is what I end up with after foundation and what not.

 

I really like how dewy my skin looks and with everything on my face it still feels like there is nothing there.One my eyes I went in and lined my water line and filled in my lid with Wet N Wild Kohl Eyeliner in White.Using one of my generic shadows compacts I picked up at Walgreens I went in with my smudge brush and brushed a lime green color all over my lid and blended it up into the crease.For the corners I smudged a carribean type blue and kept laying it in to darken it before pulling it in my crease and blending blending blending.The corners of my eyes I took a lighter turquoise color and pulled it towards the blue at my outer corners just making sure they all blended in with one another.I tight lined my eyes with Maybelline New York Unstoppable eyeliner in Onyx and finished off my eyes with some eye lash curling and Lash Stilleto mascara.i wanted to keep it light so my lips I used just a light pink gloss I had.Hope you like! I was really happy with how this turned out and I liek that it's not as dark and dramatic as I usually do my make-up.I felt like all I needed was a pool side an umbrella and one of those fruity drinks.Booyaka!

Took all these pictures in natural light.
