Green In Makeup?

Last night when trying to add some of my school colors into my makeup I realized so many people find ways to incorporate blues and purples into their makeup, yet I see little to none trying to incorporate greens or even pinks.

I found that using a subtle mossy green in my crease really did the same job as a neutral brown would.  I do suggest however you don't go crazy with the green because the wrong shade can make you look like you have a black eye!

Here are some high-end and drugstore shadows I recommend.

This is Mary Kay Lemongrass eye shadow.. the picture doesn't show the yellowy tone to it but it's a great all over lid color that isn't too green!

 This is Mary Kay Emerald eye shadow.  I recommend you try a emerald tone green eye shadow verses the mossy green I talked about earlier. Chances are the pigmentation will be better and it will be closer to a green you are looking for.

 This is the Maybelline eye shadow set in Green, the colors here are perfect for defining the crease and creating a light lid for a perfect subtle look:)

This is a Maybelline quad in Green with Envy.  The champagne is perfect for the lid and the green is ideal for an outerhalf of the lid or crease defining shade!

I hope you guys try to add some green into your makeup looks! It's a really simple and easy way to switch up your makeup without looking unnatural:)

Voice Over Dillema?

So I was talking to a friend today who said she really enjoys my voiceovers when I do tutorials on my youtube channel MySmiles4miles.  I was wondering what you guys thought too? You can check out my latest tutorials to see non- voice overs and check my back to school tutorial to see how my voice overs are! Comment on any video and say that you can from the blog post!

Example:

Revlon Kissable Balm Stain Review

For those who have been reading my blog lately (within the past year i've been gone!) I am happy to give you a new review!

This review is on the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains.

Here is a picture of one in the shade I own (I didn't take the picture)

As you can see its a very bright magenty hot pink color.  This is the color sweetheart (hence the adorable sweet tarts in the background.) The basis of the products is to come off on your lips in a balm and then after the balm wears off the stain will remain.

I think the idea is really great especially since most lip stains are very drying!

Here's a pro/con list I created based off of MY product.

Pro

• Very smooth
• Intense pigmentation
• Twist bottom (no need for sharpening)
• Long lasting color

Con

• Too pigmented (hard to work with for a subtle look)
• Small amount of product
• High price ($8 where I live, pushing the boundaries of drugstore prices I think)
• Knockoff?

The last point I made on the con list is that it could possibly be a knockoff.  What leads me to think this is that for a much longer time the Clinique chubby sticks have been around in very very similar packaging posing to have the same affects on your lips.  Although this could make the Kissable Balm Stain appear to be                     a knockoff, I do think that for someone looking for a drugstore alternative to the Chubby Sticks would enjoy this product.

Overall I do think the product is nice, but you have to be careful with color selection!

Not that I regret my choice in color, its just unwearable except for when you want a bright lip.

My friend also had a similar problem with the color selection too, (she has a light skin tone, blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair) she picked out the color charm (known on Youtube to be an excellent color for nude lips)

but she said that it looked "straight up orange" on her lips.

This is where I think the Clinique Chubby Sticks are a better deal, because you can try them on at the counter therefore not risking purchasing a bad color.

So again overall the product feels and lasts amazzzzinnngggly but there are some cons to the price, color selection (not lack of selection just difficult to select color), and amount of product it contains.

Now I wrote this all out pretty fast so if you have any comments or questions just comment them below:)

Blooming Beauty Quick Tip!

You know that one-shade-too-light concealer you bought... one week ago? You tried it, you didn't like it, and you couldn't make it work? I have a fab trick for you! On days when you look more tired that you feel, dab a littl e bit of concealer (lighter than your skin tone, but only by a shade or two) under your eyes.  This will decrease the effect of bags under your eyes, while getting your moneys worth of the product! Thanks for reading! Add any comments in the comments and remember to subscribe!

Fall facial product!

during a trip to a local drugstore i found Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick. with tax its cost me about $8. its comes in a little bottle with a rolling ball on the top. inside is an oily looking herbal smelling liquid. after cleansing your face you roll on the product and it is to remove blemishes. so far the product works really well... i was not paid to do this but i would suggest this product to many people!
