GRWM: Blue Smokey Eye

And we're back with another Get Ready With Me.  I have to say, I've really been enjoying trying out new look combinations and seeing what I come up with.  This look today is one using some shadows that I have had for a long time, but had always been too intimidated to use.  They are super blue and dark.  I loved the shades and decided it was time to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit.  I must say I really like the look I got!!

GRWM: Matte Eye

 

Hi lovelies!!

This part of a double post, one here and then a video on my YouTube channel!! 

I posted a video that was a get ready with me, a complete matte eye! Woot Woot!

If you want to check out the video, head over here (link)

This is a list of all the products used in the video!

Face:

• Primer - Mary Kay Face Primer
• Primer - Benefit The Pore Fessional
• Foundation - Kat Von D Lock-It in Light 46 Cool
• Concealer - Maybelline Master Conceal in Fair
• Powder - Mary Kay Sheer Mineral Pressed Powder in Ivory 1
• Bronzer - NYX Matte Bronzer in Light and Medium
• Blush - Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush in Dollface
• Blush - Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino (only on the apples of the cheeks)
• Highlight - Becca Champagne Pop

Eyes

• Primer - Mary Kay Eye Primer
• Shadows (numbers correlating to the picture)
• Ulta - Au Naturel, all over the eye, and used to blend out the finished look
• Morphe in Caramelized (#1) in the crease and blended up)
• Morphe in Nuts (#2), mixed with Morphe in Vixen (#3) and Caramelized to darken the crease.
• Lorac Pro pallet Espresso (#4) blended into the outer V of the eye
• Morphe in Crystal (#6) in the inner corner as highlight
• Morphe in Trouble (#5) to set my eye liner
• Eye Liner - Revlon Color Stay in black/brown

• Mascara - Almay Get Up and Grow in black/brown

Brows

• Mary Kay Clear Brow Gel

Lips

• NYX Mega Gloss in Beige

And there you have it folks!! It's a pretty simple look and should be easy to re-create with any shadows you have.  The reason I mixed so many shadows together was because Caramelized was a bit more orange/warm tone than I had intended, so I used some of the other shadows to cool it down and darken it up!!

If you haven't, please make sure to jump over to my YouTube page and watch the video!!

Until next time,

xoxo,

Mikal-Anne

Products I've Used Up

Hi Lovelies!  As I was packing up my house recently to move, I decided it was time to do a Products I've Used Up Blog.  Because, lets face it, it makes absolutely no sense to pack up what is essentially garbage and move it to a new house!

I don't know how long this has been collecting, and we all know that I probably haven't kept everything I've used since my last post, but here's what I've got!

Ok - This looks a bit insane... But what can I say, I like eye products.  All of the ones listed are in black brown.

• L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof
• Almay Get Up & Grow
• Revlon Lash Potion by Grow Luscious
• L'Oreal Extra Volume Hydra Collagen Plumping Mascara
• L'Oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24 Hour Mascara

Now, this is a whole lotta Mary Kay, but there are somethings that I constantly keep going back to.

• Oil Free Eye Make Up Remover (I'm actually missing 2 more that I threw away without thinking)
• TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer in Combination to Oily. (This was my go to moisturizer until I recently started trying out something new)
• TimeWise Day solution
• ClearProof Toner 
• Foundation Primer
• Age-Fighting Eye Cream

• Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Treatment
• MAC concealer - The details have rubbed off :-|
• NYX HD Concealer in CW01 and CW04
• Maybelline Master Conceal by Facestudio in 10 Fair
• Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation in 120 Classic Ivory
• NYX Matte Bronzer in Light
• Revlon Color Stay Eyeliner in Blackened Brown

• Garnier Fructis Volume Extend Instant Bodifier Dry Shampoo (I used up one more of these between the pictures and writing this blog.  This is by far my favorite dry shampoo!!)

So there it is ... You just got a glimps of my garbage!! Ha!

Until next time!!... xoxo,

Mikal-Anne
