Aquamarine | Gemstone Series

Aquamarine | Gemstone Series


I am so excited to start this series! If you are an OG of my blog posts then you probably remember this used to be the place where I posted all my looks and how-to tutorials. I loved (and still do) creating art of makeup and photos. Last week I had a couple of bad anxiety days back to back and decided to do something fun for myself that I felt like doing. That thing that I happened to do was a blog look. Sitting in front of a window of natural light, in the floor, with makeup all around me, and music playing. It was relaxing and for the first time in so long I just got to play with makeup at my own speed with no extra strings of filming and editing. 
It'll still be some work getting these blogs and photos together, but when I go at my own speed with makeup I fall in love with the results so I want to share it with you. 
The last blog looks I did was a Floral series, so I wanted to stick to series here (for now that is) and I was inspired to start gemstones. So expect a lot of gemstone looks for the next countless Fridays. I also want to use these series to utilize my collection so I will be sticking to one palette each series (hopefully) to really get use of them. Of course the most perfect palette for this series was Kathleen Lights x ColourPop So Jaded. Today I was inspired by my Sea Foam Marmalade nails to do aquamarine. 

✖️Brows: 
It Cosmetics Universal Brow Pencil
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel



✖️Eyes:
Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop x Kathleen Lights So Jaded Palette (My Precious, Rose Quartz, Aquamarine, & Opal) It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara ColourPop BFF Volumizing Mascara (Kiss 'N Teal)

I first primed my eyes with Mac Paint Pot and then took the My Precious shade in my crease.



The next shade Rose Quartz, I took in my crease too but the main focus with this shade is on the outer corner. 



I, of course, had to use the Aquamarine shade so I placed that over my lid with my finger since it is a metallic. I get the best pay off that way. 



And the last shade Opal I did the exact same thing just a little more lightly since this is a straight up glitter shade. I wanted to add some over Aquamarine to make the look pop more. 



I finished off the look (after the base parts that I share next) with mascara, but not just one, but two mascaras. I used black on top lash and blue teal on bottom. 


✖️Face: Dr. Brandt Luminizer Primer L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation (201 Classic Ivory) & Infallible Full Wear Concealer (Porcelain) Ciate London Extraordinary Setting Powder Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Lite Bronzer Realher Be Limitless Be Fearless Blush Kit (Fearless & Unstoppable) Kylie Cosmetics Highlighter (Snow Angel) Smashbox So Chill Coconut Setting Spray



The rest I kind of lost track of time and zoomed through without taking progress photos. If you see my process in YouTube videos then you already know, but I went into some bronzer. I chose Hoola Lite because I wanted a light bronze moment. I used the Realher blush kit that is in my stop my stash but since the shades are so vibrant I decided to mix Fearless and Unstoppable shades. I used Snow Angel highlight from Kylie Cosmetics because it is stunning but also because it has a light pink tint to this highlight that I thought would be perfect with this aquamarine look. And one of my most favorite steps in my makeup... Melting everything together with setting spray. In this case I used Smashbox So Chill Coconut Spray which is actually a primer water, but makes for a beautiful dewy face mist!



✖️Lips: Appeal Cosmetics Gel Liner (Naked) Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick (Mannequin)



I finished the look with a nude pink and love this super simple aquamarine look. I can't wait to do the next gemstone look! XO

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I was so skeptical about this product. I mean it is a super fine powder that is suppose to exfoliate my skin. It is a super fine powder, but it still does the trick! While being extremely gentle to the skin the natural starch and silk powder exfoliates your skin removing dead skin build up and surface build up in pores. On top of that it will leave your skin glowing with the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid from all the fruit extracts in this. It has not only pineapple, but also kiwi and papaya! What's even better (that I have absolutely loved!) is that this is made without microbeads, nuts, or anything that will be too harsh and could potentially scratch the surface of your skin.  While being super gentle it will also leave your skin soothed and calm with the calamine powder and allantoin that is in it too.  Sorry I sound like an infomercial in these blogs. I just want all the info out there for you w...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...
