Golden Highlighted Eyes and Nude Lips!

So this post is gonna be my first ever “tutorial” here on my blog. Honestly I did this look a few weeks back and had no intention on it being a tutorial I was just having fun with my makeup,but I really liked how it turned out so why not share it. I don’t have that many photos in terms of a step by step process because as I stated I didn’t know that I would be posting this but I believe it can still be useful. Firstly:

1. I primed my face with the BH cosmetics foundation primer.

2. I then did my usual eyebrow routine that I have a post on here

3. I primed my eyes with a white creamy base to make the colors more vibrant the NYX Jumbo pencil in milk will be perfect.

4. For the eyes I used my Nubian 2 & Masquerade palette. I used The shade “Jezebel” and “Morrocco” as my transition color then I went into the shade “Zobo” in my inner and outer corners in the middle I popped on the lovely gold color that you see “Nairobi”. For the inner come I used a lavender shimmer shade from my BH 88 shimmer palette. I then lined my waterline with a black pencil eyeliner (anyone would do the trick). I used some mascara to top of the look and as for lashes I was already wearing individuals from Ardell which I will do a blog post about “how to apply them” pretty soon.

5. For foundation I used the Milani conceal + perfect 2-in-1 concealer and foundation in chestnut before applying foundation however I color corrected with the l.a girl orange corrector.

6. Concealer I used my l’oreal true match in medium/deep that I absolutely love, and to highlight my l.a. girl concealer in warm honey.

7. Powder I used my l’oreal infallible pro-matte powder in classic tan that matches my skin perfectly and to set my under eye highlight I lightly baked using the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.

8. To contour I used the BH cosmetics contour & blush 2 palette

9. I finished off the look using Sacha cosmetics Intense lipshine gloss in “Whatever”, that I also have a review on here

Hope you guys enjoyed this post/mini tutorial although its not as in depth as i would have liked it, I do promise to get better. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

Sacha Intense Lipshine Gloss Review & Swatches!

Good day lovelies, hope everyone’s week is starting off well. So jumping right into this post i picked these bad boys up a few weeks back so I had ample time to play around with them and see how they wear. Now like most of us I love liquid lipsticks so when I was in the Sacha cosmetics store I was looking at their Intense Matte Lip Velvet trying to see if there were any new colours that caught my eye. But low and behold I found an array of these lipshine glosses. I was super curious to see the pigmentation of them so i grabbed a few testers and swatched it on the back of my hand, and I must say i found it to be extremely creamy and highly pigmented. I was quite pleased and I grabbed three(3) colours that I know would have worked well with my skin-tone.(Was trying not to go too crazy)

The packaging is super sleek and cute as it is square and compact with a nice matte black cover. The applicator is your regular gloss applicator and it doesn’t really have a fragrance so I think people who are sensitive to fragrances can even pick it up.Here are the swatches:

Its super creamy with a nice shine, also it is not sticky at all in fact I would describe it as being buttery smooth. Did I mention they are quite inexpensive. It’s a nice way to take a break from the liquid lipsticks and the matte look. Hope you guys enjoyed reading and have a wonderful week.

Colourpop Liquid Matte Lipsticks Review and Swatches.

Liquid matte lipsticks well this definitely needs no introduction as everyone and their grandmother knows or even owns at least one liquid lippie. Some persons however are either in love with liquid lippies or some steer clear of liquid lipsticks claiming them to be too drying. Me personally am in love with liquid lipsticks and think that you just need to find the right one with a good formula.

Love their cute packaging.

 

The colourpop liquid matte lipsticks I feel are a definite win for most people. The formula is not too drying, it lasts a really long time and I’m even talking about through eating and drinking as well, and the colours are very opaque so you don’t have to apply many coats to get a good color pay off.

Honestly I feel like there is not much to say as it is really a good liquid matte lipstick and come on you can’t argue with the price ($6). Here are some swatches so you can see the color pay off.

As you can see from the swatches I have a thing for neutrals lol. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and until next time. I just realized that yesterday was National Lipstick Day lol 😂 talk about timing, and colourpop also has 20% off all their lippie stix for national lipstick day so you guys could check it out.
