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

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
