Lavender Smoke

Hey everyone! I have some fun looks planned and I plan on doing a makeup series too that I'm hoping to upload at least once a month.
So today's look is a random look that I did. It's a fun look that's also great for going out as it has some color but is still smokey and dark. The lavender in the look will be amazing on green eyes but it will look good on anyone.
Here's the look:




For the lips I went for a light pink shade. You could go for a nude or a muted pink lip to help keep the focus on the eyes. I chose the light pink to add some more color.

Here's a list of the products I used:
Face: E.L.F Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain
         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15
         E.L.F HD Powder in Translucent
         Benefit Dallas Bronzer

Everyday Makeup

Hey Everyone! Today's post is my first look of 2014! So when I come up with a look I usually get inspired by the time of year that it is or the month, for instance, February is Valentine's Day so pinks and reds, March would be St. Patrick's Day so that's greens and Christmas is usually glitter. But for January it was pretty hard to come up with something for it. But I pushed through the creative block and came up with a couple looks.

For today's look  I thought it would be good so do an everyday look that I would wear. Now I don't have an everyday go to look because I get bored pretty easily and like to switch it up a bit but I would wear this every now and again.
Here's the look:




Its a pretty and flirty look and the colors are nice and soft. These rosy tones look great on pale cool skin tones like myself and if you have the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay you will be able to achieve this look for sure.


I went for a soft pink nude lip which is really flattering with this makeup look. If you're feeling more bold try a brighter pink or a peach shade, they might also work.


Here's a list of the products I used:
Face: E.L.F Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain 
         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15
         E.L.F HD Powder Translucent
         Benefit Dallas Bronzer
         Benefit Bella Bamba Blush
Eyes: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
         Inglot Matte 358 (Brows)
         Essence Lash and Brow Gel
         Inglot Matte 341
         Inglot Matte 360
         Inglot Pearl 397
         Inglot Pearl 399
         Inglot D.S 459
         Inglot Matte 354
         Inglot Matte 373
         Inglot AMC Shine 46
         Inglot AMC 63
         Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on eye Pencil in Crave
         Benefit They're Real Mascara
