1-15-12 Elizabeth's Everyday Makeup Routine! (Elizabeth)

Hey Girls! Today I'm going to be telling you all about my everyday makeup routine! Before I start I would just like to make two quick notes! I just wanted to announce that I have downloaded the free Blogger app on my iPod! This means that I can blog on the go! Yay! The second thing is I know that I am young and a lot of you are going to think I shouldn't wear any makeup but this is what makes me comfortable. Now that I've said that, we cAn get started!

*So the first thing I do is sanitize my hands. This should be done before applying any makeup. The bacteria that is on your hands can get on your face and cause brake outs which we all know is never fun. But don't worry, if this does take place, pimples don't last forever. Just make sure you don't pick at them or else it will create acne scars. And we all know scars are forever!!!

*Next, I moisturize my face with my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer for sensitive skin. This is currently my favorite moisturizer and I will definitely be repurchasing it!

*After that I take my Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I put this all over my face to create a nice base for my concealer and powder to go on smoothly and stay on all day.

*I then take my Studio Gear Hidden Agenda Concealer in Light Medium. I put this under my eyes and on any blemishes that I may have. I also put it around my nose to get rid of the redness. I use a concealer brush to apply this.

*Next, I set my concealer with my NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder in 702 Naturally Beige. I put this all over my face focusing mainly under my eyes, around my nose, or any other places I applied my concealer. I use my Sonia Kashuk Powder Brush.

*After applying my powder, I apply my blush. The blush that I use is ELFs Blush in Tickled Pink. I apply this using an ELF blush brush from their professional line.

*Next, I move onto my eyes. I start off my priming my eyes. I use Urban Decay Primer Potion.

*Then I take my MAC Bare Study Paint Pot. I put this on my lid to brow bone.

*Next, I take my MAC eyeshadow in Brûlé and put this on my brow bone and inner corner as a highlight. I use a flat shader brush.

*After that my MAC eyeshadow in All That Glitters. I put this all over my lid using a flat shader brush.

*Then I take my MAC eyeshadow in Saddle and put this in my crease using a crease brush.

*Next, I take Brown Down by MAC and dust this light on my outer corner and work it into my crease. I do this using a crease brush.

*I then blend using my MAC 217 Blending Brush.

*Next, I curl my lashes using my ELF Eyelash Curler.

* I then use my Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara in Black.

*Then,I lightly line my waterline using Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in Coal Commander.

*Next, I Moisturize my lips using my Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Quenched.

*Then I apply my Creamcup Lipstick by MAC all over my lips.

*I then apply my MAC Cremesheen Glass in Richer,Lusher. I an currently out of town and left it at home so in the picture of all the lip products used you will see Maybelline Shine Sensational Lip Gloss in Freshly Cut.

So that is my everyday makeup routine! It only takes me about five to seven minutes each morning! I hope you girls enjoyed! Also, be sure you take our poll that is up now! Only six mote days to take it! Let your beauty shine!

5: I take my Jesse's girl eyeshadow primer all over the lid up to the brow bone (it isnt the best primer but it does the job- review coming soon)

2-27-11: JESSE'S GIRL MINERALIZED BAKED POWDER EYESHADOW(Plum Frost) REVIEW (Elizabeth)

Hey Girls! So yesterday, I was supposed to post a review but in the middle of typing it my computer went bonker and the internet stopped working. So I am just going to do it today but it will be a little late. Emma will also be posting something later on today.
Today, I am reviewing Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Powder Eyeshadow in Plum Frost. You can buy this eyeshadow and anything from Jesse's Girl at Rite Aid.
This color is by far one of my favorite eyeshadows. It is so pigmented and is a great dupe for Mac's Satin Taupe.

There are five six eyeshadows in this line. There is Plum Frost, Graphite Frost, Rosemary Frost, Ocean Breeze, Kiwi Shine, and Graphite Frost Esmeralda. Here are pictures:

Kiwi Shine

 

 Plum Frost

 Graphite Frost Esmeralda

 Rosemary Frost

 Ocean Breeze

Graphite Frost

I really love these eyeshadows and they are highly pigmented! They only cost about $3.99!

I hope you enjoyed this review! Remember to keep taking out poles! Only a few more days left to vote! Let your beauty shine!

Thanks for your support,

4-25-11: EASTER HAUL! (Elizabeth)

Hey girls! So, yesterday Emma did an Easter Haul and I thought that I would do one too!
First off, let's just say that I got A LOT of candy! I got GIANT Reese's Cups. Reese's are my favorite candy so I was very happy when I saw those in my Easter basket. I also got a lot of M&Ms and a giant Milk Chocolate Easter Bunny. I have only eaten his ears and so far, he is delicious!
I also got two tank tops from Faded Glory. One is greenish yellow and the other is just plain old white. I also got some pajamas that have a bunnies on them. It is just a tank top and shorts. The shorts are big so I will have to grow into them.
I also got some Little Fing'rs Girlie Nails. They are just these little artificial stick on nails. I wore them for about an hour before I decided that I didn't like them. Hehe. Here are a few pictures of the thing that I got!

I couldn't find the tank tops but I found as much as I could! And thank you guys sooo much for following us! We officially have six followers not including us which is AMAZING! It is so exciting and the main reason why we have so many followers is because of Blair and Elle's blog! People have checked out there's and got led to ours! So thank you guys so much! Keep checking for more posts coming soon! Also, please take our polls! We have to up now and you only have about four more days to take it! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed my Easter Haul! Let your beauty shine!

Thanks for your support,

3-24-11 Easter hual (Emma)

Hey girls, so today is Easter and we just did a Happy Easter post below this! Anyway, I wanted to tell you all what I got. I didn't get anything fancy just a couple of little goodies, so I got a few little Essie nail polishes which I am in love with here is a little picture of them all. Before that though I am just going to say these are perfect dupes for OPI nail polishes, and I was never a big fan of OPI's big brushes so if you are like me these have a cute little small brush perfect for short-mediam length nails!

So as you can already tell I just got three of them, but they are a little bit expensive so that is why! So the first one on top is called "Bachlorette bash" it is this super pretty purple-hot pink color it is a really pretty all year color! the second, middle color is a light baby blue color with little tiny under tone of velvet it reminds me a lot about winter like ice sickles, but also is a nice summery color because it looks like a nice natural pool themed color! next is my personal favorite which is called "Cute as a Button" I am in love with this color. You can pretty much wear it when ever it is perfect for summer but also it a chilled tone for winter and spring. I wouldn't say it would exactly be my "go to" color in the fall because when I think of fall I think that the color on top would be my best friend! Let your beauty shine! I am going to link the Essie website down below too!
