MOTD - Chucky Doll

This makeup of the day I was going for modern glam. I love a good winged liner plus a bold lip. Give Me Glow Cosmetics is an awesome indie makeup brand that has tons of liquid lipstick colors. The formula is soft, smooth, and stays on forever! She carries dupes for higher end brand shades. I can't wait to purchase more colors in the future. This shade is called Chucky Doll! It's a fabulous muted orange red. It's a great shade for Summer. I can see myself wearing this color almost daily because it is so wearable.

I finished the look off with Stila's liquid eyeliner pen in navy, Anastasia's new Brow Definer in Ebony and last but not least, two coats of Physicians Formula's Eye Booster fiber mascara!

MOTD - Autumn Warmth

For this look I was inspired by Kathleen Lights' and Ofra Cosmetics' new matte lipstick in the shade Miami Fever. It's a gorgeous rust color that screams Autumn. I'm in love with it. The formula is also very comfortable to wear and long lasting. I plan on purchasing more shades from Ofra in the future.

For the eyes I used Melvet59's Exotic Lotus eyeshadow palette. Such a beauty!! If you love warm tones you will fall hard for this one. I topped the look off with Physicians Formula Eye Booster Lash Extension mascara (still my favorite!) and Anastasia Beverly Hills Ebony Brow Pomade. Voila!

Kardashian Beauty Ombre Blush - Sunlit

It's still a little too early for Spring makeup in my eyes. Maybe because of the mounds of snow still on the ground in New Jersey. But even though it is still winter I couldn't help but share this find with you guys!

As they start releasing the brighter and lighters colors I'm drawn to revisit my love affair with anything tangerine, orange, or peach colored. I find the colors uplifting and happy, fresh and new. Who doesn't love a fresh look after the greys of winter? Think of this blush as the sunrise that awakens your skin this season.

Kardasian Beauty has a collection of 6 ombre blushes that are bright and cheerful, perfect for the Spring season. I instantly fell in love with the shade Sunlit - an iridescent tangerine color. It's the perfect highlight to my daytime looks. The price point also makes it appealing at $10.

Find it here or at your local Ulta store!

Starting from the left, individual shades. Last swatch, all shades blended.

90's

Lime Crime Venus The Grunge Palette

Besides The Birth of Venus being one of my favorite paintings, I love me some warm red and brown eyeshadow (and 90's grunge which also inspired this beauty)! When I first saw the swatches of this palette on Instagram I was instantly hooked. Each color is highly pigmented to perfection. They are butter and I was not disappointed at all.

This palette includes 8 shadows which include a fabulous range from golden ivory to a burgundy matte. She even threw in a matte taupe that is stunning and the perfect blending shade for this collection of colors. You have everything you need in one spot. This is a variety that will be great year round.

It retails for $42 and can be found on Lime Crime's website here.

Here is the description of the shadows from their website:

VENUS: The color of bruised fruit (velvet matte)
SHELL: Opalescent shell-pink (glow)
AURA: Golden ivory (glow)
CREATION: Rust brown (matte)
ICON: Dirt brown (matte)
REBIRTH: The color of an over-ripe nectarine (matte)
DIVINE: Dusty stone (matte)
MUSE: Deep burgundy red (matte)

Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow - Bella Taupe & Bella Mandarin

I've been hearing some really great things lately about Milani's new gel powder eyeshadow. So the last time I was in CVS I decided to pick two up to test. I mean a great drugstore eyeshadow? Who would pass that up? I chose Bella Taupe and Bella Mandarin.

Taupe is a medium taupe. I always find myself drawn to the color taupe for some reason. I just think it is a the color to have on hand. I actually also really like this shade for my eyebrows. The texture is really nice and it builds great to even out your brows without feeling like you put a ton of products on them. Looking for a new brow powder? Definitely check this out! It's a great neutral color.

Mandarin is a glowing orange. I really like this for a crease blending color and I think it will be really nice in the summer, maybe even as a blush!

So overall I do like these and I think I might pick up one or two more colors. They retails for about $4 and can be found at your local drugstore. I don't know if I really see the gel in the texture but they are softer then the usual drugstore shadow.

Find them here. With a range of 30 shades, you are bound to find one you love!

Josie Maran - Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée

A new found love of mine is Josie Maran's Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée. It is so gorgeous and definitely something different that I've never tried before. If you like cream blushes I think you will like this. But I also think if you haven't tried cream blushes but like a nice wash of color for any season then you will love it as well.

I apply it with my Real Techniques stippling brush and leave it light but it is totally build able to a more dramatic look. It can also be used on your lips which is an added bonus. The cooling sensation is so refreshing that this will be fabulous for summertime and the beach!

The Shades:
Coral Oasis - tangerine orange
Poppy Paradise - warm toned hot pink
Pink Escape - cool toned pink
Getaway Red - true red
Berry Bliss - deep wine
Honeymoon Honey - neutral brown

I have it in Coral Oasis and Honeymoon Honey. They are just gorgeous! Coral Oasis gives the most energizing glow to my cheeks. It's so happy to look at too. Honeymoon Honey is almost like a bronzer. I have to play with this one still but I think it would work really nice as a contour. I love brown makeup for cheeks and lips. I am always very drawn to it. I guess it's my 90's child inside.

It claims to have up to 14 hours of color... I don't know if I believe that but other than that I think these are fabulous.

Beat the Monday blues - pop of orange!

"Orange is a colour located between red and yellow on the spectrum of light, and in the traditional colour wheel used by painters. Its name is derived from the orange fruit.

In Europe and America, orange is commonly associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, fire, activity, danger, taste and aroma, the autumn season, and Protestantism." - ( Wikipedia )

Anastasia's Lavish palette has been out for a few months now and it was really popular in the Fall of 2013. The colors are rich and pigmented. I decided that my Monday needed some orange to spice it up this week!

In this look I used the Cream shade over my entire primed lid (primed with Mac's Paintery Paint Pot). Then I loosely blended Orange Soda into my crease for a transition color. Sienna was my choice to deepen that crease. I added Rum Cake lightly over my lid and blended into the crease on top of Sienna to accentuate the reddish orange tones and add a little shimmer. :)

No eyeliner was used but I think a deep brown liner would have been lovely. I finished the eye look off with a black mascara by Lancome called Hypnose Drama Instand Full Body Volume Mascara (I don't recommend this because it flakes. It was a sample I was trying). My brows are done with Benefit's Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep (very quickly).

This was a quick morning look, nothing crazy. I love the warm tones. They make me happy.
