Fall Pamper Night Routine

I figured this would be a good time to share my Pamper routine to give you some inspiration for Saturday. Friday night is going to be a long one for some of us and we might need to recharge the next day. This is what I will be doing after I get done laying on the couch for the majority of the day :)

I begin by removing any makeup I may be wearing with my boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil. This is a game changer. I used to remove my makeup with towelettes and decided to give cleansing oil a try. I love it and don't think I will be returning to towels anytime soon. It is so much more gentle on my skin. No more of the tugging from the towels. I highly recommend you try it. Next I go in with my Clarasonic Mia and my Clinique Liquid Facial Soap to really cleanse the face.

I like to take a bath and really relax on these nights. I will use a bath bomb or bubble bar from Lush to add a little something extra and plus its fun watching the bath bomb dissolve and change the color of the water. Before I get in, I will grab a big glass of water and put a face mask on. I just got the boscia Bright White Mask. I have only used it once, so I can't really say anything about it. Light a candle, watch some Youtube videos or read a book and just relax… Before I get out I will exfoliate with the Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish. 

After I am done soaking it is time to take off the mask and go in with a toner and face lotion from Clinique. After this, my skin is feeling amazing and I am refreshed

What do you use on these types of nights where you want to refresh your skin and just relax? I am always looking for new products to try out.

Halloween Eyes | Tutorial

Halloween is creeping up on us pretty fast now and I don't know about you, but I have been wearing spider earrings, skeleton bows and anything else I can associated with this scary day. That includes a little darker eye than usual. So, I've got a simple Halloween eyes tutorial for you today. I want to make it super clear that I am not a makeup artist, I have no training what so ever in this subject. I probably put the products on in the wrong order or didn't use the right technique. Im just showing something that I came up with while playing around. So, here we go!

Start by priming your eyes so your eyeshadow stays put. 

Place a bright orange shadow all over your lids. I used one from the Coastal Scents Shimmer Palette. Really pack it on, so a little pops through when you put the black on. 

Next I used Nars Night Breed in the outer corner of my eye and blended that into the crease. 

To brighten the inner corners, I used a lighter orange from the same Coastal Scents Palette and also placed that underneath my bottom lashes. 

I took some more of the black shadow and blended that underneath the outer half of my bottom lashes and made sure to really blend it with the lighter orange. Make sure to keep the black to the outer half of the lashes. 

To help soften the black in the crease and underneath the brow, I took a light cream color and blended it with the black. Blend. Blend. Blend. 

Next I used an Urban Decay black eyeliner in my waterline and a liquid eyeliner on my eyelids. I would have created a cat eye, but my eyelids don't allow me to do that :( 

Finish off with some mascara and you are done! 

If you don't like the typical Halloween colors, you could easily use purple or green or any other color you wanted with the black.

Let me know if you create this look! I would love to know how it goes! Do you want to see more tutorials? This was my first one and I kind of enjoyed it.

Fall Colors

One of the many, many reasons I love fall is the makeup colors that come with it. Berry toned everything please! These are the products I just dug out of my drawers and I can't wait to start using them again. I love dark colors on my nails and can really only get away with that fall and winter. So, come the beginning of fall my nails went brown with a subtle orange shimmer, Revlon Autumn Spice. Im excited to start doing darker eye looks too. I may just do some tutorials. Would you like that? And not to mention the lips. I just bought Revlon Wine with Everything and LOVE it! It is so perfect. I wore it in my previous post to the pumpkin patch.

Spring Lip Favorites

Hello! With spring arriving this week, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about my favorite spring lip products. As much as I love the deep reds and plums in the fall and winter, I am always happy to put those away and bring out the lighter colors for a fresh, clean look.

Maybelline Color Whisper in Pink Possibilities || I have been wearing this one the most this week. It is a bright pink that goes on sheer, giving you just enough color, without being too loud. I love this whole line by Maybelline. If I were to only recommend one product, this one would be it.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart || This is another light option, but it gives you much more color than the Color Whisper. So they are sort of like a lipstick but much, much more moisturizing and it doesn't feel heavy like lipsticks can. This color is a bright pink, perfect for spring.

Maybelline Elixir in Breathtaking Apricot || I would describe this as an opaque lipgloss. You've got tons of shine and tons of color in one product. And the best part, its not sticky!

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Starlet || This is another lipgloss (obviously) but not quite as opaque as the Elixir. I don't believe this one is available anymore, but it is pretty easy to find a light pink gloss with gold shimmer. It gives you tons of shine, without being too much.

MAC Lipstick in Hue || For those days when you want a clean, bare face. Its a pinky nude and is good to have on hand when you don't want color.

I really shouldn't ask you this, because I don't need anymore lip products, but what are your favorite lippies for spring? I would love to know!

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
