Such a Boyfriend Stealer
I am definitely loving my neutrals!! I promise I will venture of for the spring/summer but I just find it much easier to pair my outfits with a neutral makeup look. I plan to actually plan my outfits ahead of time so that I can come up with some colorful looks.
With this look I used MACs Boyfriend Stealer on the lips.

Ben Nye Face Powder
There has been so much talk of the banana powder that Kim Kardashian uses. So much in fact that I decided to try it for myself.
For those of you that don't know what these face powders are, they are basically setting powders but in color.
I thought about getting the same one she uses but then I saw they came in other colors. I decided to try a shade darker and selected topaz to use as my concealer setting powder. I then purchased ebony to use as a contour color. Because it is a translucent powder, I'm not sure how it will stand alone. If it does not show up well then I will use it to set my cream contour.
I've done a lot of searching and reading of reviews that I feel confident that I will find a use for these powders. Depending on how well they hold up, I just might go back and purchase all of the colors for myself and future clients!
I purchased these face powders from makeupmania.com. The shipping was inexpensive and super quick. I ordered on jan 31st and received the products on feb 4th. I'd say that's better shipping than most places. Each powder cost $5.95 for 1.5 grams of product. The banana powder was a little more because it is more popular, but only a couple of dollars more.
Overall I am happy with my purchase and I will be posting a look soon using these products.

MAC Archie's Girls Collection
Recently the MAC Archie's Girls collection was released online. I thought about getting a ton of stuff but quickly reeled myself in before I could do major damage.
I ended up only getting one item; A Veronica lipstick called "Boyfriend Stealer". I'm so glad that out of all of the lipsticks I made this one mine! The color on my brown skin is perfect! I'm thinking I just may purchase the lip gloss as well. And maybe the Veronica blush. And the other two lipsticks. Lol.
Without further ado.. Here are pictures and swatches.

Being Naked
Today I decided to get naked. That is I used my Naked palette to beat my face a bit.
I tend to use my naked palette when I want to go neutral. I have the naked two palette but I have yet to use it. I might just put it in a blog sale... Maybe.
Any hoo I used black in the crease and to creat the rounded effect on my eye. In the center is sin. To blend the black out I used buck. For highlight I used a mix of naked and virgin. I used the zero pencil to line my top lash line and the corner of my bottom lash line.

Face Time
For a while I was in love with MACs Fix+ spray. That was until I found Evian. At first I was like, "Don't they make water?". Lol. Well yes they do but they also make a special version for beauty addicts like myself.
It works just like Fix+ but in my opinion because its made by a "water" company, it's much more refreshing for use in the summer time.
I like to purchase the smaller travel sizes for my purse during summertime. This big size is for use on my vanity.
I use it exactly like Fix+; as a setting spray and when I want to use a product wet. I just spray a little on my brush and viola!
If you've never tried it then you are missing out!!!

Disco Fever: New Years Edition
I've been wanting to do a glitter look for the longest. I searched high and low for the hard candy glitter glue. When I found it, I knew that new years would be it. On top of that one of my favorite youtubers, queenofblending, did a glitter look!
Ok so on to the steps:
1. Primmed eyes with urban decays Eden primer potion
2. Used NYX jumbo pencil in "milk"
3. Cut crease with a sparkly black from a wet n wild palette. I used an angled brush and 'flicked' the black out towards my brow.
4. I used a silver from wet n wild to fill in the lid portion of my eye
5. I used a light peachy color for my brow bone.
6. I went in with matte skin tone brown to blend the black and highlight color
7. Then I took the hard candy glitter glue and placed it on top of the silver. With the same brush I picked up NYX disco ball pigment and applied it to my lid.
8. I lined my eyes with milani eye tech pen.
9. For the bottom lid I took a black eyeliner pencil and went about halfway and took to the putter corner of my eye.
For the rest of my face I used a NYX cream blush in hot pink, and lips was Milani hot flash lip gloss.
Enjoy the pics!!!!
