MOTD: L.A. Girl Cosmetics

I love incorporating brighter colors to my makeup looks especially for summer and I am so happy how this one turned out.  I actually used the L.A. Girl Cosmetic Glide On Gel Liners as an eye shadow.  I basically just scribbled Goldmine all over my lid, let it set and I was good to go.  So easy but the results are long lasting color.   I did have to use a makeup remover (my go-to remover is MAC Cleanse Off Oil) to break down the liner but at least I know that It stays on!

MOTD: Colorful look for summer

Quick MOTD post for you today using L.A. Girl Cosmetics. I am head over heals with the Gel Glide Eyeliner Pencils.  They are soft, creamy, come in a variety of colours but most importantly stays on once set (give it about 15 seconds). I am serious, this liner does not move!  I even used makeup remover to remove the Royal Blue color and it was still on until I washed my face.  If you are looking for an eyeliner that will stay in the water line and will not budge this is for you.  I've tried so many eyeliners but I really have to say this eyeliner is the best! Did I mention the eyeliner is only $5?!?! YAHOOOOO now you can collect all the colors. =)  You can thank me later. P.S. I will have swatches of the liners that I have so you can start your shopping.

Back to the look..

• Shadows: MAC Swish (lid), Quarry (overall crease), Shadowy Lady (outside corner), Blanc Type (highlight), White Frost (inner tear duct for highlight).  To create the sharp clean edge use masking tape before eye shadow application.
• Brow: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Ebony
• Liner: L.A.Girl Gel Glide Eyeliner Very Black (top) and Royal Blue (bottom)
• Lashes: Elegant Lashes Mystic
• Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC40
• Blush: MAC Harmony and Margin Powder Blush
• Lips: L.A. Girl Semi-Permanent Auto Lip Liner Pink Parfait and L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint Bombshell. **Swatches of these Lip Paints will be up soon!

Have a great day!

MOTD: Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette blue/purple eye

Over the weekend I was able to play with my friend's Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette and this was the result! I've never tried Sugarpill I was very impressed with the intense pigment of the shadows  LOVE!  Can't wait to try some of their other products.  What are your favorites?

I also used Violet Voss glitter in Fairy Dust for added touch of glitter to the lower lash line and Alter Ego Lashes Stop & Stare and Final Touch stacked.

MOTD: Holiday Inspired Makeup with NYX Cosmetics

I'm a little late figuring out the settings on my camera (1 year later) but I am so happy that I did! Pictures are clear and the colors are vibrant. I have been getting a lot of people asking me why I have a glowing ring in my eyeballs.  That is the reflection from my new lighting! Gotta have good lighting for makeup pictures/videos especially when you do everything at night around 11pm.

Anyways here's today's festive look!

 1. Prime lid with

NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Green

.  This is how I achieved the vibrant green on the lid.  The green is gorgeous even used on it's own.

2.

3.
