Tutorial: Fall/Cranberry/Plum smokey eye

Hello Beauties,

I decided to do a tutorial on my go to Fall eye look. I also switched up how im going to start doing my tutorials. Let me know your thoughts.

PRODUCTS USED:

● Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer - Medium Light

● Rimmel Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer & Highlighter - 430 Medium

● E.L.F. Eyelid Primer - Sheer

● NYC Sparkle Eye Dust - Champagne (893)

● Nyx Love in Paris Palette - LIP05 Parisian Chic

● E.L.F 32 Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

● E.L.F 144 Bright Eyeshadow Palette

● Wet N Wild Mega Impact Mascara

● L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

First i started off by priming my eyes mixing the hard candy and rimmel concealers and then adding my elf primer on top.

Next I take the light tan color out of the Love in Paris palette and apply it to my crease as my transition shade to help blending later.

Out of the the 144 bright palette I took the red and bright red pink together with a blending brush and put it messily into my crease. Keep applying till its as your desired brightness. 

Next out of the neutral palette I took a warm caramel color to blend out the red in the upper crease. If you use some pigmentation while blending go back in the red shades or the caramel color.

I took the dark brown shade with gold shimmers from the Love in Paris palette with a flat shader brush and applied to the outer third of my lid and up into the crease. Blending it in with a clean blending brush. I also took the cranberry/plum shimmer shade from the 144 bright palette and apply it over the red shade in the crease to help blend the dark brown in.

I then put the shimmer dust all over the lid making sure to blend the dark brown and champagne colors togetger in the outer third.

Next I applied the dark brown with gold sparkles on the lower lashline and blended out with the cranberry/plum shade. Next I took a light tan color and put it on my brow bone and inner tear duct for a highlight. Lastly I curled my lashes, and applied 2 coats of both Mega Impact and Volumious mascaras. Waited for them to dry then curled my lashes again.

I decided to keep the rest of my face pretty neutral so the eyes were the main focus of this look.

Acne Free Brush Review

Hello beauties,

Today im going to be reviewing the Acne Free Brush. A little background about my skin before using the acne free kit. Growing up at most i would get a break out every once in awhile or around my time of the month. I didn't start getting semi regular breakouts until i turned nineteen. I never really had a real problem with acne before... Earlier this year i saw i saw the kit at walmart for around 20.00. During that time i started using the MAC Cosmetics Prolongwear foundation. That foundation is hard to take off the way that i like to remove my makeup, so i thought this brush would be perfect to remove it, soften my skin and deep clean. The first couple of times i thought it was great and that i loved it. Now i figured this was a similar product to the clarisonic and i saw some reviews on the clarisonic. They all mostly had the same conclusion that your skin will get worse before better. I can testify to the getting worse part. After the inital week i started getting horrible acne on my cheeks, forehead and neck. At the time i didnt know anything about acne or skin care. I figured my skin just didnt like the combination of skincare i was using. I started switching it up using different face washes, masks and scrubs but nothing ever worked. At this point it was starting to affect my self esteem and confidence. Im 22 years old and i felt very uncomfortable leaving the house without my makeup on, unlike before where i didnt really care if i was wearing makeup or not. I finally decided enough was enough and i started to look into acne and maybe figure out what was going on with my skin. I started realizing that i wasnt having normal pimples that form a head on them. I was getting under the skin very red and painful acne. I started doing my research and realized i had cystic acne, which i had never had before. I also found that the brush were creating little cuts on my face that were allowing bacteria in and my natural oils were clogging my pores. I stopped using the acne free brush and face wash about a week ago. I took pictures at this time to show you my skin after using this product. I wish i would of known i was going to review this product so i could of taken before pictures to show you all my skin prior to using this product. To conclude i do not recommend this product.

I am currently trying out a new skincare regime. I was chosen by Influenster (voxbox) and Mary Kay to try out Mary Kay's Clear Proof skincare system. In a few weeks i will be trying it for 30 day. I will write a new review over it. If interested keep an eye out for it in the next few weeks.
