Best of 2012!

Hey guys! So, since 2012 is over, I figured I'd do a best of 2012 post! I couldn't choose just 12 products of course... Anyways; this was my first year of blogging and I'm so happy to have another year to connect with more beauty lovers and discover new products! I wonder what will happen by the time I'm writing my Best of 2013 post! Exciting things to think about. Anyways, on to the post!

Dupes: Urban Decay vs. Wet n Wild

Hey guys! Today I have my first ever post about dupes. These are two dupes of urban decay eyeshadows that I found in Wet n Wild's shadows. I don't really know if any of these are like well known, but I figured I'd post them,

Top: Wet n Wild's Definer Shade from Comfort Zone Palette

Bottom: Urban Decay's Darkhorse

First up is Urban Decay's Darkhorse. This picture is from my feminine palette but it's also in the Naked Palette. I found my dupe in a wet n wild palette.

Differences: Darkhorse goes on smoother and is easier to work with, and is slightly cooler.

Top: Wet n Wild's Eyelid Shade from Walking On Eggshells Trio

Bottom: Urban Decay's Sin

The next dupe is Urban Decay's Sin. I found it in the Walking On Eggshells Wet n Wild trio. Although the wet n wild shade is a bit more peachy, they're still very similar.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Also, filmed a full face holiday tutorial for my channel :) I would love feedback, so check it out if you have time! Click here to see it :)

Bold Gold: Eye Look & Review

Hey guys! So today I have a review as well as a look for it. This is on Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Bold Gold. As you can see, I created gold eyeliner with the cream. I then topped it with Urban Decay's Half Baked for shimmer and shine. Then I used two mascaras: Covergirl Lashblast and Mabelline's MegaPlush Volume. It was really simple and only used 4 products!

Now, onto the review. This is the third color tattoo I've tried. The first two being Tough as Taupe and Barely Beige. As it says, this is a gold shimmery color with great pigmentation and it stays on forever! No primer necessary. Sometimes if I forget to take my makeup off there will be remnants of this left when I wake up! These Maybelline Color Tattoo's are the best things ever. I love them! Now if only they'd come out with a nude matte one...

Fall Eyeshadow Picks ♥

Hey guys! So out of my eyeshadow, these are my favorites to use in the fall time! I'm still working on my makeup collection and buying more and everything, so I had a limited amount to choose from, but these are the top dogs! I'm hoping soon I'll be going to buy some makeup when I get my allowance because I really want to do some hauls and reviews! Anyways, on to the post!

First, the naked  palette. Of course this is in here! It has the perfect range of light to dark colors, so you can go smokey for fall or keep it natural! Next is the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette. This has amazing pigmentation and is only $5, a definite must have! It has greens and browns so it's perfect for fall!Last is this quad by covergirl in "Pure Romance" It has nice pink and taupe colors which I think is a nice change for fall rather than just smokey browns!

First I applied NYX Eyeshadow Base

Next, I applied Sidecar with my elf eyeshadow brush to my inner half.

After that I took Smog on the outer half. 

Then, I used buck in the crease with my crease brush.

To add a little more darkness, I used the crease brush and patted some of Darkhorse onto my outer third.

I used Urban Decay's 24/7 Zero Eyeliner and Covergirl Lashblast Mascara.

New Found Love: Naked

Oh my goodness, this is the most amazing thing I've ever tried EVER. I'm in love.

I'm sure most of you guys have heard of the Urban Decay Naked Palette, and I have been wanting to buy it for MONTHS. I know, I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but the Naked Palette was already out when I first discovered the beauty community on youtube. I actually returned a pair of shoes for this palette. 

As you probably know, it has 12 eyeshadows, a brush, and a mini UDPP, and costs $50. 

 If you don't already have the Naked palette, GO BUY IT! This palette is so amazing and perfect for everyday. You can get natural looks, smokey looks, dark looks, light looks, golden looks, brown looks, what ever you want! It's totally worth the $50. Now my new question is, should I buy the Naked 2 Palette?

Eyeshadow Look: Smokey Green

 Hey guys! So today I have an eyeshadow look that's a bit out of the ordinary for me. Usually I stick to natural eyelooks that have absolutely no darkness to them, but I wanted to experiment with my Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette (shown at the bottom), and this is the look I got!

I used the left browbone shade on the inner 1/3, the left eyelid shade on the outer 2/3, the crease shade in the crease, the left eyelid shade to blend that out, and a little bit of the left definer in the outer corner.

Then I used my urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero on my waterline and upper lashline, and used my mega plush mascara.

Urban Decay Feminine Palette

So on Urban Decay's website, I noticed that these palettes were on sale from $32 to $16,  there were 3 options originally but the Feminine palette was the only one left. Urban Decay is having major sales, you should definitely check out their website. This palette is still on sale. It came with 3 samples: the primer potion, two face primers, and 3 tinted moisturizers. Also they sent a $5 off coupon for the next time I place an order. The palette came in super cute packaging. It came with a mini eyeshadow primer potion in Eden, a matte nude color. 

Inside the palette is one of their 24/7 eyeliners in zero, which is black. Then it came with 6 eyeshadows.

Top: stray dog, swf, midnight cowboy, 

Bottom: aquarius, darkhorse, ecstacy 

I love how it has half neutral colors and half colorful. It's a really small palette so it will be great for travel and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it. This is actually my first purchase from Urban Decay!

So I would go check out their website for some awesome sales!
