Blogmas Day 14: Empties/Products I’ve Used Up

This is going up really late, by about two weeks actually. I was going to post this video a few weeks ago, but every time I would try to upload it either Vegas Pro would crash, or I would get busy and it just wouldn’t get done. But here it finally is, my Empties/ Products I’ve used up video

Bonus note: My skintone matches my wall.

Blogmas 2013: Stylish Sundays

I’m so excited to be doing Blogmas again this year. Since this the first day falls on Sunday, the first one is an outfit post. I don’t know if I’m going to continue only posting outfit’s on Sunday’s or if blogging everyday is going to change that.

This is what I wore to decorate my Tree with my family. I was inspired by a recent outfit that Love Meagan wore.

Dress: Unknown Shirt: The Limited Leggings: Hue Belt: Kate Spade Earrings: Kate Spade

On My Face: Nars Sheer Glow, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, Nars Deep Throat Blush, Lancome Eyeshadows, YSL Babydoll Mascara, Urban Decay Eyeliner, Lancome Lipgloss in Atomic Bomb

I thought this outfit was going to come out weird but I actually really loved it, honestly if I hadn’t seen LoveMeagan’s post recently then I never would have tried layering this blouse under this dress.

Howl is wearing a Disney Fleece Hoodie, with snowflakes and Mickey Heads on it. He really love the Christmas tree though. He’s a big fan of chewing it and all the ornaments. It’ll be interesting to see how putting the presents under it goes this year. My shoes are from Old Navy,

 

 

 

Daily Makeup Routine

I know that every time I have an outfit post I list my makeup. I also realize that what I’m wearing rarely changes, so I thought I’d show you what my typical daily makeup looks like.

I don’t lay my makeup out like this when I go to put it on, I just wanted to make it look pretty for blog  purposes. And yes that is a GlossyBox lid.

Benefit’s Girl Meets Pearl is one of my favorite highlighters, and it’s absolutely perfect for daily use. Since I have a yellow undertone to my skin, I like that this is pink toned because I feel like it adds a bit of a warmth to the glow it gives.

This is probably one of my all time favorite concealers. Nars Radiant Creamy concealer is hands down the best concealer for dark circles I’ve ever used. It’s okay for acne blemishes, but it’s not as good as the Tarte Amazonian Clay Concealer. I’m out of that one right now and since even though it’s not the best, the Nars does work I’m not worrying about repurchasing the Tarte one right now.

My Foundation is most days is the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse, usually I prefer the Nars Sheer Glow or the Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua, but lately I’ve been using the Rimmel Foundation on days where I’m not taking photos or filming. It’s a really good slap it on and go product for me.

The Mascara pictured is the Rimmel Glam Retro something or other. I’m not positive because I don’t use it anymore. I love how it looks, and that it’s a breeze to apply, but it makes my eyes water like crazy. So right now I’m currently using the YSL Babydoll that I got a sample of and seems to be lasting for ages. When that runs out I’ll be forced to decide which YSL Mascara to purchase since they’re the only brand that I’ve tried where my eyes don’t water like crazy.

My setting powder which I don’t use with the Nars foundation is the Makeup Forever Professional HD Setting Powder. I love this powder with every other foundation I’ve tried it with, but I don’t like what it does to the Nars foundation.

These are the Lancome Eyeshadows that I use on pretty much a daily bases. I have a NYX palette and a BH cosmetics 120 palette but I just don’t love them as much as I do these. The Lorac Pro Palette is on my Christmas list though.

And the last thing in my daily makeup routine is my blush which is the Nars Deep Throat Blush. It’s terrible but I only own one blush. I went through a big clearing out and use it up phase and somehow got to the point that for awhile I was actually out of blush. It was awful. I’m just so indecisive and rather than buy a few I ended up not buying any for the longest time. It was Maxwell that recommended this blush to me so of course I needed it instantly. I do plan on buying a blush palette soon, but I’m torn between Nars, Sleek and Inglot. I might go with two, but that just seems excessive to me.

There’s no lip product pictured because that changes constantly. Or I’m just not wearing one. Mostly it’s the latter, because I’m terribly forgetful.

If you wanna see me slap all this on then you can watch my Everyday Fall Makeup Routine below

Stylish Sundays: On Repeat

Remember last week when I said I had a uniform of sorts that I felt extremely happy and comfortable in? I’m kinda repeating it today. And I want to repeat it over and over, I just adore it.

Normally I’d be upset when my shoes started to get scuffed but I’m actually loving the way these are aging.

I hadn’t realized how long this shirt was before, so I’m actually really happy with it. I know it looks a bit short in this pictures but that’s just the way I’m twisted.

It’s starting to get really cold outside, so I’ll be taking most of my outfit photos inside now. Hope you like this door and it’s little glad air freshener that somehow got randomly hung there. Seriously I don’t even know how that happened. I’ll probably do photos in front of the tree after I put it up.
