Christmas Eve OOTD & MOTD

 

 

 

 

My OOTD Christmas Eve. Working half day so black and white it was. Bought this cute blouse at Old Navy for $3. They have adorable clothing that are on sale this holiday... so run to your closest ON and start shopping till your bag is FULL. Like literally...my bag was full when I had to stop shopping.

 

So I got this cute Military jacket I got at Old Navy for $10. The only size they had was Large, but I wasn't going to give up a sale like this.

 

 

 

Leggings from ROSS. It's super comfortable and gives me curves that I don't have. The sides are stretchy and super soft and it's thick enough so you don't have to worry about your undies showing like other leggings. Retailed for $13

 

 

 

My Christmas nails.. It's silver with tiny blue specks. It's a cute wintery look and effect. I didn't feel like painting my whole nail because it's always so hard for me to take off the sparkles so I just painted the tips and overall it looks very classy.

 

So I finally used the colors from my NAKED 3 and overall I love the colors, but I think the colors are a bit too cool tone for me. Even though people with whiter faces tend to look much better with cool tones, I don't feel like the colors really gives a effect that says WOW, so to help AMP it up I just used some colors from my LORAC. The NAKED 3 is great to create looks for weddings or for people who prefer to not have a lot of makeup on, but it's a great palette overall and I love the packaging presentation.

EM Contour and Highlight Stick Review

EM Contour and Highlight Stick Review

 

 

 

 

BEFORE Contouring

(I only have foundation, highlighting, and eye brows)

 

 

 

Contouring my cheeks and forehead

 

 

Blending and final look with EM contouring

 

Using my regular bronzing, I used it over the EM because it wasn't as dark as I wanted.

 

Finished look with make-up

 

 

 

EYE LOOK

 

Gold eyes with Nude Lips

 

 

 

 

Overall with the EM Contour stick it glides on my cheeks very smoothly, but once I started blending it in, it begins to fade away and not be as dark as it looks when you first contour it. It was $16 online, for first time buyers you get 25% off ... I don't remember the exact percentage. I would recommend this EM product for people who don't want as dark contouring and it's great for traveling or on the go.

 

MOTD & OOTD December 18, 2013

 

MOTD December 18, 2013

 

Simple look using my LORAC Palette.

(USE EYE PRIMER IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A  LONG LASTING LOOK)

Step 1: Define the crease using MAUVE

Step 2: apply PEWTER all over the lid

Step 3: Dab GOLD on the middle of eye lids.

Step 4: Using MAUVE again, blend it into the crease again to get rid of the harsh lines.

Step 5: Apply your favorite eyeliner (I'm using ELF Liquid Liner)

Step 5: Mascara

Cute studs from H&M for $3

 

So I went thrift-ting today and bought a cute hand bag. What I liked about it was that it looks like Hmong and Thai designs, but definitely because of the Gold chain. Was only $4.99 

New lipsticks I got from TARGET and actually I think target recently just started selling NYX products. I bought each for around $4-5 each. It's very pigmented & Matte, but rubs off to anything your lips touch. Overall, I LOVE it!!!

My OOTD. A vintage kind of look; black and white stripe dress with a little flare on to it on the bottom. It's very comfortable and not too tight on the body and I just paired it with a white cardigan. I believe I bought it at MACY's for $30. It's cute for church, birthday parties, and  great for just out and about on a stroll in the park. 

This eye look looks very natural, but it was meant to be a little dramatic...but that didn't work out. I used the browns and a tint of gold from my LORAC palette. Also, used ELF liquid eye liner for the eyes and Maybelline ROCKET Volume mascara. 

For jewelry I paired it with a gold chained necklace that I got from H&M. I actually used the WRAPP app free $12 to buy this, so it as basically FREE. I love FREE stuff!!!!
