A Pop of Teal

Posted on by
Reply

This past week was horrible.My Mini and I were very sick but we’re feeling much better. We were literally stuck in the house for 6 days stuffy, congested and feverish. Audrey is practically all better now (yay!) & I’m on the mend. I took a trip to Ulta (Haul soon!!!) today and decided to snap a quick OOTD & FOTD.

You’ve been warned–I still look sick! I did something a bit new today–I did teal in the waterline & lash line & went neutral on my lids. I figured a pop of color would brighten up my sickly face *lol* Dark colors on the lid & waterlines would have only made me look sicker.

The pop of teal doesn’t look as vibrant in the pic but it looked better in person :)

Main products used to create the look:
Wet n’ Wild Walking on Eggshells Trio
Maybelline 24-7 color Tattoo e/s in Tenacious Teal
Urban Decay Flipside
Ulta Aqua Kohl Liner

The OOTD didn’t come out the way I wanted them to–you can’t get a good look at the outfit. It was SO cold and windy out that it made it impossible to get good, clear shots.

The Red Lips Series: MAC Runaway Red Dupe?

Posted on by

While at the drugstore today, I set out to find a dupe for my HG red lippy, Runaway Red by MAC. SO many of you have told me that Runaway Red is sold out in store and online and have asked me to find a dupe for this fabulous color.

I found something CLOSE but honestly, Runaway Red is so unique of a color, it’s been impossible to find it’s virtual twin. After lots swatching, I found something worth blogging about: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Everlasting (345).

Runaway Red is a deep red but takes on a bit of a berry appearance when swatched next to other red lipsticks. Maybelline’s Everlasting took on that same deep berry red shade but this lipstick has some shimmer to it where as Runaway Red is a satin with no shimmer.

Here are the swatches:

Left: Maybelline Everlasting            Right: Runaway Red

Top: Runaway Red        Bottom: Everlasting

Final Thoughts: As I’ve stated, they’re not exactly the same but they are pretty close. If you missed out on MAC’s Runaway Red (which a lot of my YouTube subbies say is sold out everywhere), then Maybelline’s Color Sensational lipstick in Everlasting may be a nice alternative.

My 5 Minute Summer Look

Posted on by

Hey Everyone!

So it’s been very hot out lately. I’m not a fan of wearing too much make up in the summer but I always like  to make my eyes looks fabulous!  I am loving my new Maybelline Line Stiletto liquid eyeliner. I find myself using it everyday. I feel that having the liquid liner on my top lids makes my look more polished and fancier.

In this pic (taken today), I am wearing Stila’s Kitten eye shadow, mascara & my Line Stiletto and NAR’s Cap Vert (on my cheeks) and  Pink Lemonade gloss (perfect lip gloss flavor for a hot, steamy day). It’s a fabulous look that literally took me about 5 minutes!!

This look is so classy and simple. It’s fancy enough to wear on an evening out or during the day!
