It's a red lipstick and fur kind of day

Hey guys!

I thought I would do a quick post for you guys today on a quick look that I threw together for going to class.

The Maybelline Color Tattoos are so simple to slap on my lids with a little eyeliner and mascara to go to class. I like adding some red lipstick to go with that and make the look even more polished if I want to look extra cute.

So I put this together: (These pictures were taken five hours after I actually put on my makeup)

Products Used:

Neutrogena Shine Control primer

Neutrogena Shine Control foundation in Ivory

Neutrogena Shine Control translucent setting powder

ELF Mineral eye primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold (all over the lid)

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe (in the crease)

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze (along the lower lash line)

ELF liquid liner 

WetnWild Coloricon black eyeliner pencil (along the waterline)

L'Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

NYX Bronzer in When Leopard Gets a Tan

Clinique blusher in Sunset Glow

NYX Round Lipstick in Pure Red

And last but not least... my OOTD:

Black leggings are my new staple. They were against the dress code at my high school and now in college they're all I wear!

The black leggings I'm wearing are ones I got at Forever 21.

I'm also wearing:

Pewter colored lace cami from American Eagle Outfitters

Boyfriend button down from H&M

Rabbit fur scarf my bubbe bought me in Paris

Nine West American Vintage Collection shearling boots

"Autumn Again" inspired LOTD & OOTD

Hey guys! It's starting to get chilly out here in the Midwest and fall is definitely here!

Michelle Phan posted a new tutorial the other day called Autumn Again which you can view here. Mind you, I am not her biggest fan by any means. I just liked this look and thought that I could recreate it with the Sleek Oh So Special palette, which I have been loving lately.

I was able to take these pictures right before the sun went down, which means that I had had my makeup on for six hours at the time I took these pictures. Not bad!

I really really love this look and actually got compliments in one of my classes! This girl told me my makeup always looked so perfect and that she was jealous. It's the little things in life that count :) hahaha

Products Used:

Neutrogena Shine Control Primer

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation in Ivory

NYX Concealer in a Jar in Fair

Neutrogena Shine Control Translucent Powder

ELF Mineral eyeshadow primer

Sleek Oh So Special palette (Gift Basket on outer portion of lid and along lower lash line, Boxed in the crease and along the lower lash line, Organza in the inner portion of the lid and around the tear duct, Noir in the outer-v and crease, Bow as a highlight under the brow)

WetnWild Coloricon black eyeliner pencil

ELF liquid liner

Lorac Multiplex 3D Lashes mascara

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

ELF Essentials Blush in Bronzed (actually a bronzer - used to contour)

L'Oréal True Match Super-Blendable blush in Innocent Flush (matte peach)

WetnWild Coloricon lipliner in Brandy Wine

WetnWild Megalast lipstick in Bare It All

Last but not least... my OOTD

It was actually the first time I've worn jeans this season!

I'm wearing:

Striped top from H&M (I actually bought this shirt back in May with intentions of wearing it once I got to college)

Skinny jeans from Forever 21

Ohm scarf from World Market

Mary Janes from Urban Outfitters

Birthday Makeup!

I realize that I have finally been legal for almost two weeks now.

Here's a recap of my past two weeks: I turned 18, I moved into my dorm, my grandfather died, I flew alone for the first time, and I officially started college.

This might explain the lack of posts lately.

But I did want to share everything about my big day :)

I spent the first part of the day with my dad. He went to take me to get my hair cut. Then we had lunch and went to visit his dad (the one who just passed away). Then we went to the mall for a bit of shopping and a fancy Italian dinner. My best friend from high school joined us. OH, and how could I forget dessert and coffee at my favorite Parisian café in town?

Without further ado, on to the makeup...

I like this look as a basic neutral look that can be played up in the cheek and lip category. Later after taking these pictures, I added Lorac liquid lipstick in Trendsetter and a little more highlighter. 

At night, I wore MUFE red lipstick and added some Dior kohl eyeliner to my waterline.

Products Used:

MUFE HD Microperfecting Primer

Diorskin Forever Teint Haute Perfection Tenue Extrême foundation

Revlon Colorstay foundation in Buff

MUFE Lift Concealer in shade 3

Chanel Double Perfection Natural Matte Powder Makeup in Ivory Beige 

Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Linen

ELF eyeshadow quad in Brownstone

Lorac Front of the Line Pro liquid eyeliner

Revlon Eyeglide shimmer shadow in Pearl

L'Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

Revlon Eyeglide shimmer shadow in Pearl

Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Color Stuck in Champagne Flush

NYC bronzer in Sunny

Clinique Beyond Blusher in Peaches

Revlon Super Lustrous  lipstick in Ginger Rose

Lancôme Color Design lipstick in B-List

And since I've never shown an OOTD... I bought this for college a while back when I was at H&M but decided to wear this for the first time on my birthday. I think it was only $13 or around that price, so it was an amazing deal. It's soft and hugs me in all the right places.

Stay tuned for a birthday haul post :)

Again, thank you guys for reading and a special thank you to my newest followers!
