My Skin Care Routine

My apologies–this video is a lot longer than I had originally expected but I wanted to be as thorough as possible. I adore all of these products and I’m so happy that I’ve found a routine that works for me. I hope you find this video helpful and are able to incorporate some of my “must haves” into your own skin care routine.

Twenty-Two Days of Taupe: Day 8 & OOTD

Today’s taupe look is a bit more on the warmer side. Most of the colors used were from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Believe it or not, this is my first time doing a taupe look with my Naked palette and I’ve owned this palette since July 2010!!!! Shame on me!

On a side note, I can’t tell you how much I’ve been diggin’ my berets! I only own three–very typical neural colors (to go with everything) but I think I may venture into different color ones–they are simply fabulous. Ugh–I can’t get enough!

And here is a breakdown of the look:

EYES-
-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-UD Sidecar
-UD Virgin
-MAC Carbon
-UD Creep
-UD Sin
-MAC Wedge (You could use UD Naked)
-Urban Decay Zero Eye Liner
-MUFE Smoky Lash
-L’Oreal Carbon Black Mascara

FACE-
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-MAC Cream Colour Base in Luna
-MAC Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish
-Finishing Powder

LIPS-
-NYX Strawberry Milk
-MAC Fashion Scoop

Quick outfit of the day–I’ve been into rockin’ a sweater and jeans lately–my comfy glam look-lol! It’s been so cold–who feels like dressing to the nines in this weather? Spring, where are you? O_o

The beret is from Forever 21, sweater is from Old Navy, jeans are from Forever 21.

My necklaces are from Charlotte Russe & my boots are from eBay. (*insert cheesy pose & smile in*) *lol* I LOVE these boots and need to get a new heel since I’ve worn these heels out.

Twenty-Two Days of Taupe: Day 6

Today’s look is more on the “khaki taupe” side. Here is a breakdown of the eye makeup:

-Essence Eye Shadow in Back to Khaki
-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-MAC Concrete Eye Shadow
-Cover Girl Champagne Eye Shadow
-MAC Feline Kohl Power
-MAC Coffee Eyeliner

-Cover Girl Lash Blast

I totally didn’t plan to rock a big oversized bun but my hair was totally uncooperative!  Hated it at first but now I totally dig it <33

Smokey Brown Bedroom Eyes

Don’t take the name of this post too seriously–when I finished up the look, it seemed like the best title! I created this look using ALL brown eyeshadows and bases and I didn’t think it would come out as good as it did. I even got a compliment from the sales lady at Ulta!

Here is a breakdown of the look-

-UDPP
-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-L’Oreal HIP Cream Eye Shadow in Brown
-NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil in Iced Mocha
-MAC All That Glitters
