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

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean Hallobean Palette | Makeup

Where to begin with this palette? Could it be the best of this season? Possibly so! This second round of Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean is everything I could dream up for a fall palette. Sure, I love the past Its Freakin' Bats palette. It is still a favorite with its spooky vibes. What the Hallobean Palette gives is not only a spooky vibe but a fall lovers' essentials in the shade range. With 5 mattes and 4 metallics, you have a good balance in formulas that are some of the best. The mattes are pigmented but are some of the easiest shadows to blend out. The metallics are a buttery dream with the prettiest payoff. These stunning shades that are named after such iconic Halloween movies/characters are everything and new favorites.   BattyBean did an incredible job on another gorgeous color story and Shroud really does deserve all the love/hype they are getting! xx Shades left to right: Ghastly, Afterlife, Crypt, Woodsboro, It's Showtime, Black Flame, Losers Club, Ghoulish...

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...
