Colorful June Days 9 & 10


Hi everybody! Here are my pics for this weekend!

Yesterday I went sailing all day. I got a little sunburned despite using copious amounts of sunscreen oh well. I also swam quite a bit as we were frequently becalmed. The water was frigid but I'm a fish so it doesn't matter to me! My hair was pretty wavy and wind blown when we got back on land!

 

Aside from the obvious sunburn, I used the DuWop Green Eyes palette for my eye look and I used a Body Shop Delipcious lipstick on my lips. Some of the flush was also from drinking wine on the boat. If I have the tiniest bit of alcohol I turn bright red!

Today I worked all day, then got dinner with my boyfriend (it was our unofficial two year anniversary!), and then I hung out with my best friend, Rebecca. I didn't really feel like doing anything with my face because of my sunburn, so I went virtually make-up less except for my lips.

 

On my lips I put the Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop. It is a fun bright color that is perfect for summer! Holy freckles!

Hyped Products?

Hey guys! I was watching beauty videos on YouTube the other day (I do this every day pretty much) and I heard someone mention that she likes to buy products other than the ones hyped on YouTube. That got me thinking, is there a list of the most hyped products on YouTube? After Google yielded no results, I decided that the only thing to do would be for me to make my own list.

So here's where you come in. I'm compiling my own list and I have my friend Becca helping me out. I know that we will miss things though. I'm asking people to comment with products that they hear about on YouTube all the time. When I finish the list to my standards, I will post it and the maybe try to do some sort of series around it.

Now what I mean about hyped products, are products that it seems every beauty guru has and loves. Some examples? NARS Orgasm blush, NARS Laguna bronzer, Benefit They're Real Mascara... Anything you hear them rant and rave about, I want to know what it is!

Thanks guys! I look forward to see what you notice!

Colorful June days 5-8

I've been really bad about posting and I'm sorry. My only excuse is that I've been getting up early for work and kind of skimping on makeup, then forgetting to post later. Hopefully this will sort of make up for it.

Here are a few of the looks I have done the past couple days:


The color didn't show up perfectly with this picture, but I did this look with the Urban Decay 15th anniversary palette.

 

This look will be featured soon in a $20 make-up video. It's not my best, but I was only allowed to use $20 worth of stuff! All the products used were Wet N Wild. I also didn't use a proper mirror for most of application.

 

Finally this is what I wore today. It was a covergirl palette with neon green, pink, and white that my friend Becca and I found on sale for $1.29. The pigmentation is really bad and the amount of color shown is after layering the colors over and over. As a colorful look it's hardly noticeable!

Stay tuned for more tomorrow. I promise I will post something fun!

Colorful June Day 4

 

Hey everyone! Please excuse my cheek, am ultra red today! Today I was lazy so I didn't wear make up for most of the day. I put this on pretty much just for this post.

I used my stila smudge pot in cobalt clutch to line my eyes and then I added extra wings with urban decay shadow pencil in electric. I then used Matisse lipstick in Ecstasy. This look is really fun but can also be casual.

 

Let me know what you think!
