FOTD: Smokey Navy + A Blast from the past !

That's my brother and me stylin' on Independence day of 1991 :)

And, here's my face today. My camera died out after taking a couple pics.. the other one came out blurry. :( And I don't have my charger.

I really liked the color combo. I applied NYX Black eyeshadow all over my lid all the way up to my crease, and applied MAC "Deep Truth" e/s over it to create sort of a navy color, and then I applied a little MAC "Plumage" e/s in my crease and blended a little MAC "Surreal" e/s into it at the edges. I used MAC "Gesso" e/s for my highlight and in the corner of my eyes. And I lined underneath my eyes with NYX black eyeshadow.

I'm LOVING my NYX black eyeshadow. It's the first eyeshadow I've purchased from NYX, and it's so smooth and pigmented. I like it even better than MAC Carbon!

Tutorial: Smokey eyes with a hint of pink!

First, I applied moisturizer to my face, applied concealer with my concealer brush and my foundation with my MAC 187 brush. Then, I set my foundation with powder. I use my blush brush for this, and sweep it all over my face. (I didn't take pictures of these steps because I didn't start my tutorial with a bare face.) Now on to the eyes..

STEP 1: I take my L'Oreal HIP Paint and apply it all over my lid with the brush it came with, and then blend it with my finger tip.

FOTD: Dramatic Black Liner

This was yesterdays FOTD. Very simple.. I did everything the same like I did on my tutorial, but I made it a little more dramatic by smudging MAC "Carbon" eye shadow under my eyes, lining my waterline with a black eye liner pencil and smudging the black on top as well all the way across my eye.

Well, I'm off to ULTA now to get some goodies! I'm going to pick up some NYX stuff with my coupon! And I'll try to do a night look tutorial today.

Forever 21 Outfit for under $100!

I put this little outfit together. Everything is from Forever 21. They are all available on the website. A cute dress perfect for the daytime. You can even take out the belt and put your own. The shield earrings have a light pink painted accent on them that match this dress perfectly. No need for a necklace, the earrings are large enough. You can accessorize this with a bunch of thin bangles, wooden bangles, or as shown, a few large bangles. Since the print on the dress is very busy, choose bracelets that have little to no design on them. The satchel is very cute and makes this outfit very chic. You can choose from caramel brown or cream (if you want the cream bag, you'll have to change your accessories to silver). My choice would be the brown because I love gold. Also we have some plain caramel brown sandals that match the satchel and have a few gold accents. And then to finish the look off, some gold framed aviators with a thin white accent across the top. The grand total is $74.50. I think this look would go perfect with some beach waves in your hair! It would also be cute with a a thin rope headband.. As this look is very boho. :) See my post for easy beach waves!
