WNW: Knock on Wood

Hey lovelies,

I hope you all had a great weekend!  Every weekend, I spend my days at the horse ranch.  I love it there!!  Anywho,  the other day I decided to try out another WNW product.  This time I used the Knock on Wood trio palette.  I work in a law firm and my makeup is usually very simple and natural looking so I knew this palette would be great for the office environment. 

Again, WNW eyeshadow palette does not disappoint.  These shadows are so soft, pigmented, easy to blend, and long-lasting.  The eyelid color is such a pretty cranberry shadow, the crease color is a chocolate brown color and the browbone color is a light pinkish color.  Overall, very warm colors for everyday wear. 

Swatches top to bottom: Browbone color, Crease color, Eyelid color

And here is a simple look I did using this palette. 

I used the browbone color right above my crease to blend out any harsh lines. 

I am very happy with these eyeshadow palettes and check out my blog for more looks using them. 

TOOTLES!

Wet N Wild - Comfort Zone

One of the items Jess sent me was the Wet-N-Wild Comfort Zone (738) palette.  I don't own any of these and never tried them but I've heard really great reviews on them so I was super excited to try this baby out myself.  And let me just say, it was love at first sight. 

Details on the back of the package:
"A stunning collection of 8 silky, ultra-pigmented day-to-night colors.  Mix-and-match for a variety of looks from sweet to wild!  All day crease-resistant color!"

The description says it all!  These shadows are very pigmented, so easy to blend and long-lasting.  They are definitely great for every day wear.  I like how the shadows are labeled with "Browbone, Eyelid, Crease and Definer."  Also, the price for the palettes is super affordable.  I think they range from $4-$6 each and can be purchased at any drugstore such as CVS, Walgreens or Target.

 A simple look I did today using the first section of the palette.

I love this palette and I can't wait to create more looks with this palette.  I'm definitely going to be purchasing all of them!  If you haven't tried these out yet, I recommend you do.  :)

MOTD - Deep Truth and All

Hello lovelies,

It's been a very, very long time since I uploaded a makeup video on my YouTube account.  However, over the weekend I was playing around with makeup and had received a few compliments from friends and fam that I decided to share with you all the products I used to achieve the look.

Check out my video below.

Russian Red

Born and raised in SF, of course I was rocking' the red to support my Niners on Sunday. What better way to show some 49er spirit than by rocking' them bright red lips!

The Niners lost against the NY Giants but I'm proud of them for making it this far. 49er Faithful baby!

On to the lips:

Lip liner: MAC Liner in Brick

Lipstick: MAC's Russian Red

Are you blushing??

It's been MONTHS since I've last posted something on here. I thought I'd start up again and share with you all my current favorite blush...

elf Blush in Candid Coral

 

I love this blush and for only $3... I love it even more!!

It reminds me a little of NARS Orgasm and MAC's Spaced Out (Neo Sci-Fi collection).

In my opinion, it's a great shade for any skin tone.

What is your current favorite blush?

Smokey Eye

I did this look a while back ago and forgot to post it.  But if you follow me on twitter then you've already seen it.

A Dash of Purple Dressing

So I finally decided to put some color on my eye lids. I've been doing the "no-makeup face" for awhile because I work out during lunch hour and hate it when my makeup is smearing down my face and dripping onto my neck. *gross but true*

I snapped a pic using my iPhone4 but it doesn't give the eye shadows any justice on their true colors.

Here's what I used:

MAC Jest on the inner corner

MAC Sketch on the lid and lower lashline

MAC Plum Dressing on the crease
