Matte eye tutorial with a nude pink lip!

Hey loves!
Want a toned down look that still looks amazing?
This matte eye and nude pink lip look is perfect for that!
If you want this look, just keep on reading:)

First step: Prime those lids!
I used the NYX eye shadow base in skin tone. I love NYX products because they have amazing quality and an amazing price!


Second step: Apply matte light tanish-brown shadow starting from the crease of your lid and extend the color up towards your brow. I used the dramatic matte eye shadow in the color refined from Victoria's Secret.



Third step: Apply matte light pink all over the lid and into your tear duct. I used an eye shadow from Mary Kay in the color sweet pink.



Fourth step: Apply matte purple-maroon color to your crease, I used the color raisin from Mary Kay. Start at the outer edge of your lid, extend into a mild peak toward your brow, then follow along your crease! (Tip: going around your eye ball with a thin tipped brush will create the perfect line) Follow with a matte dark brown color and go over the crease to create a darker, more pigmented look! The color I used is called espresso, and that is also from Mary Kay. Using a clean blending brush, blend the product up and outward to get a faded look!



Fifth step: Apply your favorite black gel liner along your lid as close to your lash line as possible, I personally love the maybelline eyestudio gel liner! Of course for my mascara, I used the hypnose drama mascara from Lancome! After you have applied your mascara, line your water line with a white eyeliner. I used the Revlon photo ready liner! (white eyeliner on your water line is a great way to make your eyes appear larger)



The final step: Line your lips with a pink or neutral lip liner, and follow with a nude pink lipstick! For my lipstick, I used the Sonia Kashuk lipstick in the color nude pink! I am really loving the products from Sonia Kashuk also! They are available at target and super high quality with a great, affordable price!


Id love to see pictures of your creations of the look! As always, please leave comments of any products you would like me to try or review as well as anything else you would like to see:)<3

Review: Lancome hypnose drama mascara and the Too Faced tinted Beauty Balm

Hello beauties!
I figured as my first post, I would share two of my favorite products and tell you why!
At this time. the two products that i am totally loving right now are the hypnose drama mascara from lancome and the tinted beauty balm from Too Faced

Hypnose Drama mascara
Out of all of the mascaras i have tried throughout the years, this is hands down the best mascara i have tried. It does EXACTLY what it is supposed to! If you are anything like me, you want long voluminous lashes that aren't clumped together-almost false looking. If you are looking for that, this is definitely the mascara for you! the brush is s-shaped which allows the mascara to be applied evenly to your lashes while building volume WITHOUT THE CLUMPING! It is a bit on the pricier side running around $27.00 but it is well worth it if you ask me! 



Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm
I think it is every girls dream to have flawless looking skin without looking cakey or applying a lot of product. The tinted beauty balm from Too Faced gets pretty close to that in my opinion. This is good for all skin types and tones- they have so many colors available. Not only does this give you a pretty full of a coverage for a BB cream, but it is super beneficial to your skin. The beauty balm has SPF 20 in it while moisturizing without oils, and providing anti-aging effects! I used this during the summer a lot and noticed that even as i was sweating or working out, it pretty much delivered amazing coverage! Its great to have that kind of coverage without all of the negative effects on your skin. This product runs at about $34 but you get 1.5 fl oz which is a pretty good deal in my opinion!

Please leave any comments or suggestions if you have anything you would like to see or new products for me to try! <3
