Throwback Tutorial - Smokey Blue Eyeshadow



So I used to have a YouTube Channel a few years ago. I won 2nd place in a contest recreating a look from one of my favorite beautygurus, trinicandy223. She no longer makes videos. Nor do I. I deleted my old channel and created a new one for a little anonymity. I was overwhelmed by a lot of "freaks" reaching out to me. I feel like I can connect more with my supporters in the blogsphere. I think I've come a long way since 2009.
Have you ever looked back at your older "work" and seen improvement?

Who are some of your favorite YouTube beauty gurus?

May Favorites

HAIR
I have been sporting Short Human Hair Wigs.
They are no fuss, tangle free and give me the edgy looks that I prefer.
I gravitated more towards my Beshe HH Vega shorty do. Love it!
Beshe HH Vega 1b





















SKIN CARE
For my face, I have been using my Microfiber Washcloths daily. The Neutrogena Naturals line was my most used product for this Month. With the increase in temperatures, I am finding I do not need to moisturize overnight daily. Every other night works best for me. For my body, I have been using and loving the St. Ives Deep Restoring 24 Hr. Moisturizing Lotion. I am disappointed because when I read the ingredient list, I found parabens. My Holy Grail Moisturizer is Korres Body Butter! It's very pricey though. I am still on the hunt for a drugstore alternative.




















FACE
I have been working to perfect the application of the MAC MatchMaster. I don't like to be defeated by anything. I also hate wasting money. My investment just has to pay off. I have been experimenting with different application methods...fingers, damp brush, damp sponge, less product. I think I finally settled on mixing the 7.0 with the 7.5 for the best results. It does last all day, but I am concerned that the effect looks like foundation. That typically is not the result I'm looking for. Although I reached for this foundation most often, my favorite remains the NARS Sheer Glow in MACAO.

EYES
I have been wearing very little eyeshadow if any for this month.
It seems quicker to get out of the house in a hurry with just Wet N Wild H20 Liquid Liner
and Urban Decay 24/7 Zero.
If I wanted a pop of color, I opted for a L'Oreal HIP Crayon set with matching eyeshadow.

CHEEKS
I have been loving Orange and Coral Cheeks.
I reached for MAC Ripe Peach, Milani MAI TAI, NARS Exhibit A and Taj Mahal most of all.

















LIPS
I have been loving all things Orange, and Coral.
I sported
Revlon Siren, MUFE #40, and MAC So Chaud along with MAC Morange Lip Gloss.






































ACCESSORIES
My go to earrings this month have been from a seller on etsy named Angel.
Her store is called LoveliiYou
I purchased three pairs of her fabric stud earrings. I find them to be simple and classy. They have been the perfect accent to complete my outfits. I plan on making more purchases. Look for a full review as well as a collection post in June.













Did you have some of the same favorites in May as I did?

Look of the Day (LOTD) - EDGY EMERALD ENAMEL GREEN


direct sunlight with fill flash
 Regular followers of my blog know it's no secret that green is one of my favorite colors.
I decided to go matchy matchy and coordinate my eyeshadow with my ENAMEL GREEN tshirt.
I was on my way to work. Our dress code is casual.
Colored eyeshadow is acceptable.
I have been struggling to get my MAC MatchMaster foundation to work. At first, I loved it. I have been finding that the 7.5 alone is oxidizing on me after a few hours of wear.
This pic on the left is looking a little ashy because of the SPF in the foundation.

Collective Nail Polish Haul (With Swatches)

I've acquired several polishes over the past few weeks.
I work hard to catch them on sale.

Milani (Buy $10 worth, get $4 Bonus Bucks)

Techno Red (It looks more pink than red in real life. Gorgeous! Can't wait to put it on my toes Visible Nail Line still present after 3 coats)















Revlon (Rite Aid Buy 1 Get 1 50% off with $4 Up Rewards)

Gray Suede 705 (A interesting color, I thought to be sickly gray with the 1st coat, it improved with each additional coat. I ended up doing 3 to get it to look the way I wanted)
















Opulent Pink 904 Warm Baby Pink with subtle Gold Shimmer (Backup ...one of my faves)
















Posh Pink 912 (Slightly Frosty Bubble Gum Pink Visible Nail Line still present after 3 coats)

Which of these shades do you think would best compliment your skintone?

Look Of The Day (LOTD) Soft Canary Yellow Earrings

My goal was to wear coral lips and cheeks. I did not want to over power them with bold eyeshadow. I figured MAC RockIt Yellow would compliment the corals. However,
I was having a really hard time getting MAC RockIt Yellow to work. I ended up dabbing it off and applying NK HD eyeshadow in 3026. I had to apply that with my fingers. I think I may have used too much fix plus. Or maybe the brush I was using was not the right one.

Milani Powder Blush Collection

Indoor Lighthing With Flash




Indoor Lighting - No Flash

Makeup Boards tout Milani Blushes as dupes for high end Blushes

Milani Powder Blush LUMINOUS = NARS Orgasm
Milani Mineral Powder Blush MAI-TAI = MAC Hipness
Milani Mineral Powder Blush SUNSET BEACH = MAC Raizin
















On my MAC NC50 complexion, Luminous barely shows.
I think it makes a pretty highlight.
I prefer the matte mineral powder formulations.
They are highly pigmented. When I set them with transparent powder, and Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix, they last longer than if I used nothing. The general consensus is they last about three hours when worn alone. I need to play with the newer additions to my collection to get a true estimate of staying power. Generally I use a cream base first for all of my powders.
I have just one more color to add to my collection for it to be complete, Sweet Rose.

Do you own any of these blushes?
