Too Faced Pretty Rebel Palette-Limited Edition (PICS Only)

Birthday Haul!!!!!!!!

My birthday is today, so over the weekend I ordered a couple of things for me (from me and my mom :)).  They were delivered this week! Here are some pics below! I will review the makeup in separate posts following this one.  Check out the pics below!

Items:  Amazon-Real Techniques Brushes, MAC-couple of items from the Nudes and Metallics Collection, and Sephora-OCC Lip Tar. 

Too Faced Fall 2013 Collection

Hey Guys! So here's my first Fall 2013 post.  Too Faced will release, for their fall collection, a new eyeshadow palette, Pretty Rebel, Lip Injection Color Bombs, and Glitter Glaze.  I know for a fact that the eyeshadow palette is limited edition, but I'm not 100% certain whether the lip bombs and the glitter glaze are limited edition as well.  I will look into that and update.  These are available online now at Sephora. 

Pretty Rebel Eyeshadow Palette-Limited Edition-$46

Pretty Rebel is a ten shadow palette, and I won't get into details about it BECAUSE I ACTUALLY JUST GOT IT IN THE MAIL TODAY AND WILL DO AN ENTIRE REVIEW!  Lol...sorry for the caps!  

Lip Injection Color Bombs-$21

Too Faced's Lip Injection Color Bombs are lip pencils that claim to be super moisturizing plump lip tints.  They come in 6 shades: Never Enough Nude, Coral Pop, Plump It Up Pink, Eastwood Red, Bigger Berry and Candy Burst.  These have vitamins A, C, E and mango butter.  I'm sure these will live up to the promise of providing moisture. Pigment? I'd have to check them out first. 

Too Faced Glitter Glaze Transforming Shadow Topcoat-$21

Now these look super interesting to me! I haven't seen anything like it.  These shadow topcoats are available in 2 shades, Goldie Rocks and Silver Spark.  These can be worn alone for nice shimmer, or you can put them on top of your eyeshadow for a"metallic" look. I'm not normally a fan of super sparkle, but I might pick one of these up just to see how it transforms eyeshadow.

It also seems that they are promoting the Better Than S** Mascara with this collection too.

Time for Fall 2013 Makeup!!!!

I know it's July, almost August, but Fall 2013 collection information is being released left and right for all brands of makeup.  Some collections are even available for sale now, or will be available in August for sure.  I personally tend to love fall makeup, because it's warm and cozy and works for my skin.  I'm super excited, and will try and write a new post for a company's Fall 2013 makeup line.

Did I mention that my birthday is Friday? Woot Woot! The big 30 lol!!

MAC's So Supreme Lip Collection

MAC released, online a new collection last week, "So Supreme".  This collection is a lip only collection.  It's available now online at MAC and Nordstrom.  I'll have to check and see if it is going to be in stores or not. The collection features six lipsticks and eight lipglass tints.  Some of the colors are permanent and some are limited edition.  These lipsticks promise to give you the color of regular lipsticks, plus the shine sheen of lipglass.  The lipglass tints promise high shine with a creamy formula that leaves long lasting color and features pigments that work with the body's temperature for fresh, custom color. The lipsticks retail at $16 and the lipglass tints at $20, a bit different from MAC's regular pricing, but the packaging is a bit different, especially for the lipglass tints.

The Sheen Supreme Lipsticks are:

1. Candy Apple (midtonal warm plum-LE)
2. Gotta Dash! (pale clean coral-permanent)
3. Playtime (bright coral pink-LE)
4. Pleasurefruit (bright warm pink-LE)
5. Sweet Grenadine (bright orange-LE)
6. Pret-A-Pretty (soft warm pink-LE)

The Sheen Supreme Lipglass Tints are:

1. K-Wow (soft cool pink-LE)
2. Bubble Gum (soft warm pink-LE)
3. Simply Wow (midtonal cool mauve-LE)
4.  Heart & Soul (warm peach-LE)
5. Kiss, Kiss (cool peach cream-LE)
6. Gyi-Yo-Mi (midtonal raspberry-LE)
7. Blushing Berry (midtonal cool red-LE)
8. Glorious Intent (warm plum-LE)

Thick or Winged Eyeliner (Updated w/pics)

**Updated with pics.  Clearly, I forgot to attach them, as I should have probably been in bed asleep not on blogger! LOL. Also, I found my stash of liquid eyeliners, I knew I had some.  They were in a box mixed in with eye pencils (not with my mascaras as I originally thought.**

Hey guys. Super quick post here. I had a friend ask me if she could do a super thick winged eye with a regular pencil eyeliner (as opposed to liquid eyeliner). In my personal opinion, I'm going to say no. First, if you're doing a thick eyeliner you're going to want to use a creamier pencil not a hard one, because that would be pretty painful to color in. The problem with using a creamier pencil is that you won't be able to get the best precision (likely) and it will very likely smudge, move, or smear. 

I personally am the worst at using liquid eyeliner, but I keep saying I'm going to practice more. I'm not a fan of those felt tip pen like liquid liners because I've found that for me they don't apply with even consistency, causing awkward application and streaky lines. I actually went to try it out with a pencil liner and realized that I don't have any liquid liner at all lol!  I've got to fix that problem. Instead I used my Mac fluid line, which is a gel eyeliner. It's kind of the best of both worlds. It's super creamy and even and dark. But it's also easy to apply since you use a brush, leaving less room for error (ideally). Anywho, it worked fine for me with the blacktrack, but with the pencil it looked horrid. Lol. The pencil smeared and I couldn't get the line or wing I wanted. So I'd def recommend liquid eye liner or at least a gel eyeliner. 

Also, don't judge my wing on the pics below I'm working on learning how to draw them. Especially since I think a neutral eye and heavy winged liner go great with a nice bold lip. It's late and I was just playing around. I will post more tutorials after I get my brows done this week. Nothing worse than pretty makeup and bad brows!


First pic: using MAC Fluidline.  Second pic: UD Perversion Eyeliner Pencil.  This was right after I applied both, and clearly the pencil smudged immediately and didn't really let me do a "wing". 

 

Ben Nye Powders

I found these babies at a local costume and makeup store here in Cleveland! I'm so excited that I watched a few YouTube videos and heard a a couple bloggers say that instead of ordering online (and paying high shipping fees), you could call up a local costume store and they might have it in stock.  Low and behold it's true! Apparently Ben Nye is a theater makeup, and that's why it performs so well for people using it in the regular making world who love it for its super matte qualities and long lasting formula.  These cost me a dollar or two more than they would have online, but again no shipping and I got to get them from the store and see them prior to purchase.  I got the world famous banana powder and neutral set (which is completely colorless--as long as you use it in moderation, lol).  The nice lady at the store is going to order me the two colors I also wanted to try out, which I will have in a couple of weeks. Anywho, check out the pics below.  Can't wait to try these out soon (for a full review)!!

HAVE I MENTIONED HOW EXCITED I AM TO TRY THESE OUT???
