eotd...the first brown fall.

So today is my day off and what better to do then do some updating. this is my look from last night. I was inspired by the nice cool temperature and wanted something soft and elegant.

half smile...

no flash.

This is just a soft neutral look i decided to do on a lovely early fall day. I used mineralface fx and darling girl cosmetics shadows.
mineralface fx i used jedi which is a soft brownish color with a slight blue tint. This was used as my all over lid color. In my crease i decided to go with darling girl cosmetics in valiant. Its a gorgeous deep taupe-y shimmer. Its lovely. I also used darling girl cosmetics in dr pepper cake which to me looks like shimmery watered down dr pepper with gold/purple sparklies. This was used as my under eye liner. I also tend to use a shadow since pencil liner always smudges.

I topped this look off with 2 different black liners on my waterline: rimmel soft kohl liner in black and covergirls liquiline blast in black also. curled my lashes and and applied to coats of maybelline falsies in blackest black. I know its bad but the other way i can make this particular mascara look good is by pumping the wand. i hate doing it but i also hate having to waste mascara. oh well, live and learn.


I also used hard candy sheer envy primer, udpp, elf concealer in light, mineralface fx powder in medium light, elf bronzer in golden, and hard candy baked blush in pin up. On my lips i acutally just used some vaseline and a dollop of darling girl cosmetics holo-gloss in zombie. Its a pretty cranberry with blueish shimmer.

Thats all. I really liked this look and hope you do also.

Garnier Fructis Herbashine Hair Color with Bamboo Extract - Review!!

So awhile back on facebook i saw a status update from Garnier USA for a free box of their Herbashine Hair Color with Bamboo Extract and decided to jump on a great offer. It was time to dye my hair anyways...i was tired of the copperness and wanted something different.

I got my coupon in the mail and went to town.

dontcha just love free stuff?

The color I decided on was  415 Soft Mahogany Dark Brown. Its a vibrant dark brown with the softest mahogany highlight in the sun. Its really pretty.

supplies: plastic bag, hair color, petroleum jelly.

ive read numerous articles that say to use the petroleum jelly around your hairline and on ears so that if you get haircolor on yourself, it swipes off with the jelly. This is the first time i have ever used this method and i cant believe i hadnt discovered it sooner. Ive been dying my hair since i was 16!! The bag was for helping the color soak in. Also never tried that before and i must say, it was very helpful. The bag also helped by giving my kids something to laugh at and keep the hair dye smell away.

The color ended up being a lot darker then i thought it was going to be but that could of had something to do with the color my hair was BEFORE dying it. My hair was a weird red, orange and brown color and since it is fall I wanted to go darker.

after color.

before color.

Review: Overall I really enjoyed my experience with this product. I have been using garnier products for about 2 yrs and have had nothing but great experiences. The hair color its self was simply to use and wasnt as strong smelling as other hair dyes are known to be. It took about 10 minutes for the color to develop. I usually leave it on a minute or two longer then the normal time. For me it seems this helps the color to last longer and have great results.
I well definately recommend this product for friends and will be purchasing again when that times comes (ill be going back to red).

Thanks for checking my review out. comments or suggestions are welcomed.

.......

so i have taken the last two weeks off from blogging and am making a comeback. I really want to stick with this beauty thing. My boyfriend has his music and while he is doing that, i can blog and whatnot. So i will be making this blog from here on out focused on beauty. I will also have other *random* posts about me/my life so you can get to know me also.

If you are still following me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I think at 50 subscribers, i will be doing a giveaway so look forward to that. Im also working on a schedule and finding things on line. Its a work in progress but i will get it up and going.

thanks again for sticking with me.

making some changes.

So although I do love makeup and all things beauty I am going to be incorporating more of 'me' into my blog posts. Im just not able to keep up with trends and reviews and things of that nature so im turning the tables on this blog. Dont worry though, I will still posts looks and reviews when I have time.



Thanks for sticking with me in this time of change!!

things and stuff.

2nd post this week, im on a roll! I figured since I did swatches(here) on my darling girl goodies I would do a look…so here it is!

Used darling girl Chimera: Pale peach with gold shimmer (over white base) or pale silvery lavender with gold shimmer (over regular primer) over UDPP and it showed up as a light peach with gold shimmer. I know it says over primer it should be silvery lavender….maybe its just me but im not seeing it. I will defiantly try to use this with a different primer next time.

I also used Belle: Warm baby pink with subtle violet shift and gold shimmer in the crease. You can tell there is a difference but I also used a lighter hand today so it isnt as noticeable.

Liner is rimmel kohl liner in black with covergirl liquiline blast also in black over it and smudged out. For some reason one eye is always not symmetrical with my lining….I usually don’t line the top so I need some practice.

Curled my lashes and used covergirl lashblast volume, which I love…its my HG mascara. Used Hard Candy baked blush in pinup and just a smidge of darling girl zombie holo gloss.

 

 

I also found this on Loreals website: Loreal Gold Rewards found here. If you use Loreal Paris hair color (feria, preference, etc.) This is a good thing going on. For every box you purchase, you receive a number on the bottle (they have a number placement for every box…its on the site), you put it in and it counts as one credit. for every 5 boxes you purchase, you receive your 6th box for FREE!!!!! I definitely recommend this if you’re an at home hair color chameleon.

Thanks for checking out my blog, either for the first or 10th time, and keep checking in for more looks and things.

Have a great weekend(whats left of it)

darling girl…swatches/review.

hello all!! welcome back to my blogs, thanks for checking it out!!

I have been super busy with life, but since school has started hopefully ill jump back on the blogging wagon…so here is my first post in a while.

I found out about Darling Girl from Mandy who I follow on blogger. Her looks are wonderful.

this is a review pack they have on the website. I decided to get this just to try it out, but I also placed an order for some other shadows.

The colors I received (plus website description)

Chimera: Pale peach with gold shimmer (over white base) or pale silvery lavender with gold shimmer (over regular primer)

Belle: Warm baby pink with subtle violet shift and gold shimmer.

Texas Tea: deep charcoal grey with green shift and loads of multicolored eye safe glitter.

Enchanted: Lilac-y pink with blue duo chrome glitter.

Zombie: which is a Holo-gloss lip gloss. Cranberry base with blue and copper holo shimmers.

These colors are all very wonderful. full of shimmer and great color payoff. I applied all of these over my too faced shadow insurance.

colors are bottom left(clockwise): Enchanted, Texas Tea, Zombie, Belle and Chimera.

I am really looking forward to purchasing more from darling girl…im getting my list compiled now!! another thing I love about this company is the fact you have 3 different sizes to choose from. Sample size is $0.70 and is approximately 1/8 of a teaspoon. Petit is $2.25 and holds approximately 1/4 teaspoon. Full Size is $5.50 and holds approximately 3/4 of a teaspoon. (prices and sizes from the website: here.

Thanks for checking out my blog. stay tuned for more things to come.
