FOTD - Fall Look

Two of these products, I just bought.  The eye palette and the lip duo.  This was my first time using them.  I have been looking for this eye palette for months, and had given up on finding it.  My mom found it, and didn't even know I was looking for it.  It was on a bottom shelf for half off.  I believe this lip duo is new to the line.  This is the first I have seen or heard of it. I was highly impressed with both products!

Wet N Wild Coloricon 8 Pan Palette - Nude Awakening (Limited Edition)

Jordana 12 Hour Made To Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil - 02 Espresso Last

Cover Girl Lash Blast Luxe Mascara - Black

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara- Black

First, I applied the color tattoo all over my lids for a base.  This will keep your color lasting and not creasing.  It also makes the color more vibrant.  Next, I applied the first eyelid color (2nd down on left side) to my lid, using a flat shadow brush.  This brush allows you to pack on the color.  Using more of a tapping motion, as opposed to a swiping motion.  I used the 1st crease color (3rd down on left side) as  my crease color.  I used a crease brush, starting at the outer corner, and blending towards the inner corner.  Then, I used the 2nd eyelid color (2nd down on the right side) on the outer third of the crease.  I used a tapered crease brush to apply, and then used a blending brush to blend it all out.  I spent a lot of time blending the lines of this color.  When blending, blend out and up toward the browbone.  Lastly, I used the first browbone color, under the brow from the arch to the end, and in the inner corner.   I applied the eyeliner to my top and bottom lash line, as well as my waterline.  I used 3 coats of the cover girl mascara and 1 coat of the maybelline on the top lashes.  I also used 1 coat of the maybelline on the bottom.

Face Of The Day - Soft Eye & Pink Lip

I was meeting my husband for a midweek lunch date.  He likes my "light makeup," as he calls it.  That means my pinks and/or purples.  He hates anything darker than a medium pink lip, so this is what I came up with.  I prefer a more dramatic look, but sometimes you gotta make your guy happy.  I had at least 30 minutes less than usual to get ready, so I didn't do all the things I usually do.  No contour or highlight.  I didn't curl my lashes either.  I only used one blush, when I typically use two.  I even left with damp hair, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do :)

This is everything I used.  I love this palette, but if you don't have it, I put the colors of the shadows in parenthesis, so you can use whatever you already have.  This is a soft day look, and these colors will flatter most.  If you do this look for yourself, please send me a photo on fb or twitter.  I would love to see it!  Hope you are having a great week!!

My Top Ten Products Under $10

Cover Girl Clean Whipped Creme Foundation

I bought this foundation last month, and I have wore it every day since.  Light weight, medium to full, coverage, natural finish.  Good for all skin types.

Maybelline Dark Spot Eraser - Brightener 

My favorite brightener, EVER!  Light weight, and long wearing.  

Brightens up those under eyes quickly and effortlessly.  Love the glow it gives!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

I have oily skin.  It was super oily this summer, so I am always looking for something to keep the shine down.  This one does a great job without looking cakey, like many powders can.  I've been using it for a long time.

Milani Color Statement Lipstick

I have talked about these before, but they are great.  Nice selection, opaque color,  six finishes, and paraben free.  Can't go wrong!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Another one I have talked about.  I own several, and I just recently started purchasing these.  They are so creamy and smooth.  Very comfortable and moisturizing on the lips.  Available in 84 shades, and 4 finishes.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I listed this as my September favorite.  I use it every single week.  It is super volumizing, and controls oily scalp.  It leaves hair with a nice smell as well.  They have several different varieties.  I love the one for brunettes, because it doesn't leave that white residue that so many dry shampoos leave.  I have only seen this at my Walgreens, and occasionally TJ Maxx.

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash

I have sensitive skin, to put it mildly.  So, it was nice to find something that is super gentle, can easily be found, and has a great price.  I have tried everything from the Simple line, and I have liked them all.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow

I haven't tried a lot of brow pencils, because I really like this one.  I see no reason to change, unless it is for a review.  These work well, are easy to apply, and can be found at pretty much any drug or discount store.  Great price, as well!

Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10

Other than a  long time ago, when I was on a new medication, I have never really had an acne problem.  Just an occasional pimple here and there.  If I do feel something coming, I immediately apply this after my nightly routine.  By the next mooring, the pimple will be close to gone.  I love this stuff!!

Live Love Dew Lip Dew

I just posted a review on these, and enjoyed them so much, that I had to include them!  These are a great year round tinted lip balm, that is all natural.  They offer 4 colors, and one shea that is clear.  I wear the colors with a bare face or makeup.  I love the shea dew before bed, and before I apply my lipstick.  Your lips will stay hydrated and glossy.  One of a kind product!

Review - Live Love Dew Lip Dew & Lip Scrub

I was happy to try these lip dews and lip scrub, because I have always suffered from chapped or dry lips, especially in the winter months.  I have tried many products over the years, and these are fabulous!  

First of all, these are natural products with no chemicals.  There are four colors available, Sundewed, Dew Love Pink, Black Cherry, and Plum Wine.  These are tinted moisturizers.  The color in the tube appears darker than it does once applied. You will get a natural looking, wash of color, that is extremely moisturizing and comfortable, but has the shine of a gloss.  Unlike chapsticks, this isn't waxy at all.  There is also a Natural Shea Lip Dew, which provides the same benefits, with shine only.  The Lip Dews that I tested were flavor free, but you can choose a flavor.  Available choices are, all natural peppermint essential oil, coconut and vanilla icing flavoring.  All flavorings are alcohol free, phthalate free, gluten free, and formaldehyde free.  

Natural Shea Lip Dew

No color, just moisture.

Sundewed Tinted Lip Dew

Light Bronze Color

Dew Love Pink Tinted Lip Dew

Light Pink Color

Black Cherry Tinted Lip Dew

Medium Pink Color

Plum Wine Tinted Lip Dew

Plum Color

These Lip Dews look great with a full face of makeup or no makeup at all.  If you want the bolder look of a lipstick, I would apply the Natural Shea underneath.  I also wear this one to bed, after my nightly skin care routine.  

Before applying these Lip Dews, I used the Black Cherry Lip Sugar Scrub.  Your lips will be exfoliated and immediately softer.  Ingredients include shea, jojoba oil, palm oil, pomegranate, and organic sugar.  The black cherry flavoring is also organic, and it smells like a fresh bowl of cherries!

If you have any questions, or would like to place an order, go to www.livelovedew.com.  You will find an online catalog of all their products.
