Snow Day Glam


So today, we woke up to Snow. Not nasty ice, not sleet, actual fluffy snow!!! Well bust out the cashmere and smokey eye and let’s go! I used some new items in this look that I have picked up recently and found a new love. The Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks. Why haven’t I tried these before?! I got the color Native which is a pretty pinky nude and the formula of these blew me away. They are so creamy and moisturizing. Because it was hella cold today, moisture was definitely on the menu! I need more….like now! Anyway, here is the look I created with some new Inglot shadows I got at IMATS. I LOVE Inglot shadows but it’s too much of a hassle to pry them out of the pan to get the name of them. Plus, the names are just numbers and impossible to remember. If you are really interested in a color, let me know and I’ll pry it out of the pan. Just for you!
Brr!

Brr!


Eyes:
Essence I Heart Stage Shadow Base
Covergirl Bombshell Shine Shadow in Platinum Club
Inglot Shadows
Maybelline Color Tattoo Pigment in Barely Brazen
Mally Evercolor Liner in Onyx
Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara
Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Smokey Eye


I primed my eyes with Essence I **Heart** Stage eyeshadow base to give an even canvas to start with. To intensify the grey in the Inglot shadow I used on the lid I put down Covergirl Bombshell Shine Shadow in Platinum Club as a base color from lash line to the crease. I used a sparkly blueish-grey all over the lid and blended it out with a satin cornflower blue. Then I used a matte midtone brown from one of their trio pans to blend out the blue. As a browbone and inner corner highlight I wanted something sparkly so I used Maybelline Color Tattoo Pigment in Barely Brazen. I smudged out the Mally Evercolor Eyeliner in Onyx with more of the blue-grey shade for a smokey effect near the lash line.

Face:
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
Benefit Oh La Lift
ELF Mineral Concealer
The Balm Sexy Mama Translucent Powder
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
Becca Pressed Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone
Inglot Blush
NYX Push Up Bra for Eyes

For the Face, I wanted a fresh dewy look since it was SO cold and my skin has been quite dry. Not to mention my allergies and sinuses have been going nuts and the undereye circles needed some extra manpower. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation is a FAB dewy finish foundation. Rimmel: If you’re reading this, start selling this stuff in America! It’s one of my faves. Like I mentioned, the undereye area needed some extra attention with the Wake Me Up Concealer and the pink toned Benefit Oh La Lift for some extra oomph! I set it with the ELF Mineral Concealer. Since I like the finish and color match of the Rimmel foundation, I stuck with a light dusting of the Balm Sexy Mama powder just to make sure nothing moved. The Inglot blush I used is similar to MAC’s Well Dressed but slightly less pink, if you’re familiar. It gives a great, ‘I just came out of the snow’ look even when you’ve been sitting on the couch for 3 hours watching Law & Order: SVU….not that I do that or anything….Hoola Bronzer to warm up the face and the GORGEOUS Becca Highlight completed the face. Get you one of the Becca highlighters, y’all. I promise you won’t regret it!

So there you have it! My Snow Day Glam. I hope everyone is staying nice and warm!

Quit Trying to Make Fetch Happen


I just love this Pretty Rebel Palette by Too Faced. Let’s be serious, one of the main draws in me buying it was that there is a color called ‘Totally Fetch.’ Who doesn’t love a Mean Girls reference?!

I’m Back! (With a Naked 2 Fall Look)

Hello there all my Fierce Faced readers! I’ve been a little MIA lately with the holiday season starting up and travels. I apologize. But I’m back and excited to show some new looks and new favorite goodies!

Fall Naked 2

Fall Naked 2


I thought I’d come back with a look featuring one of the MOST popular palettes, like, EVER! The Naked 2. And yes ladies, I’m going to probably get the Naked 3. I’m a total sucker for a good pinky nude look and that palette can provide them in spades. Dang it Urban Decay and your knack for making amazing palettes!!! But I digress. The weather here in DFW had totally been on drugs so it’s been really hard to stay with the darker, fall looks when it’s 80 freaking degrees outside!! But I try. And here’s one that I came up with:
Fall Naked 2 Eyes

The Lost Summer Look

The Lost Summer Look


Because it has been unseasonably warm here in Texas, much to my dismay, I thought I would share with you a look that I wore back during the summer but never shared with y’all. It’s using one of the limited edition Wet n’ Wild Pop Art Trios so unfortunately it’s not available anymore. The colors are not all that uncommon or special so you should be able to duplicate it with other shadows if you want to. A matte peach, matte warm brown and matte sky blue and Ta Da!

After I finished my makeup for the day I realized that the majority of the products I put on my face were from Maybelline. I’m becoming more and more of a fan of Maybelline products as I’m getting more into the Drugstore makeup. Here’s my (Nearly) All Maybelline Look of the Day.

Nude’tude

Nude'tude Face

Nude’tude Face


The Balm is a brand that’s pretty new to me and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. The first item that I purchased from the brand was the Nude’tude eyeshadow palette. First, let me say, that they packaging is precious with the shadows being the ‘censors’ on the pin up girls. It includes 12 good neutral eyeshadows, but unlike the Naked palettes, includes some great neutral pinks and deep plums in addition to browns and blacks. Here’s the Nude’tude look that I created:
The 'Tude

I encourage you to try out some of the Balm products. Especially their eyeshadows and blushes! They are The Balm! **see that I did there**

Shades of Grey

Grey n' Pink

Grey n’ Pink


It’s technically Fall but is still sitting around 90 degrees here in the Metroplex. It makes it very hard to get into the Fall colors with that kind of weather going on. Grey is a big color for eyes this season, so I found a way to incorporate a Fall trend that didn’t seem SO Fall in the 90 degree heat. I used 3 Inglot Shadows to get this look and I wish I could tell you their numbers but I can’t get those suckers out of the palette! *Inglot shadows are AWESOME, BTW! Same or better quality than MAC, same awesome color selection and only $6 a piece.*

The Government is shut down….let’s talk about makeup. With the dark mood going on across the country, I’d thought I’d share a bright, clean look featuring Stila’s famous eyeshadow in Kitten. It really doesn’t get any better for a shimmery shade than Kitten. I highly suggest you try it out if you haven’t before. Here’s a happy look to brighten up your dark day! Meow!

BH California: San Francisco

The San Francisco Look

The San Francisco Look


At long last we have made it to San Francisco! When I think of San Fran, I think of very earthy tones, the Brownstones, and kind of a nature loving vibe. Apparently BH had the same idea because this is the most neutral palette of the bunch that includes a lot of nature based tones. I used the rich brown colors to create a pretty, toned down look and then threw some teal mascara on my bottom lashes. Because, why not?!
