How I Fill In My Brows :)

(posted on May 11, 2011)

Okay, so I have so many people ask how I get my eyebrows to look like this...

 
And well...it's not that difficult for me. :P I have just become accustom to how my brows are and what I need to do everyday to make them look good. Everyone's brows are different so my way might not work for everyone. If you want to see how I do them check out my youtube channel, I posted a video. :)

products I use:
-Wet n' Wild Kohl eyeliner: taupe (fill them in & get the shape)
-NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder: blonde (set the pencil with the powder, darker powder to define edges, and lighter one to fill)
-Anastasia clear brow gel (used to set them entirely)
-concealer (I use some concealer and a concealer brush to define the edges and fix any mistakes)

My Foundation Routine

(posted on May 11, 2011)

Here is my everyday foundation routine...what I normally do every single day :)




 
Products:
-Olay SPF 15 daily moisturizer
-15 concealer palette from EBay (green & yellow corrector colors)
-Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation: Shell
-Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer: Ivoire
-elf High Definition Powder
- elf Stipple Brush 
 
Process:
1. Wash and moisturize my face & neck.
2. Using the green concealer from the palette, I place it on any red areas of my face along with acne spots and scars. Then taking the yellow concealer, I place a small amount under my eyes over my dark circles. I blend the two, but not entirely since I place foundation over them.
3. Using a plastic lid, I combine a dime size amount of foundation along with 3 drops of moisturizer. I mix the two with stipple foundation brush then place the product on my face starting on one cheek. I stipple on the foundation then swirl it to blend. I repeat the process over my entire face, blending down onto my jaw and neck area.
4. Next, I use my Lancome concealer to cover any remaining areas that need extra coverage, acne scars, dark circles, etc. 
5. Then I use a powder brush and lightly dust over my face with the high definition powder. I start under my eyes, over my forehead and nose, then whatever is left on the brush I dust over my cheeks, neck, etc.


 Then I am finished and ready to move on to the rest of my makeup :) for full tutorial check out my youtube channel!

Review: Garnierre Nutrisse Hair Dye + mini nail polish haul mention

 Okay, so I do like the color of this hair dye, and the hair dye isn't too bad itself. The color came out brighter than it shows in pictures (a bright cherry orange red color, which is what I wanted) It smells really good, and it didn't stain my skin like other dyes have. Overall, it's an okay dye but I won't be re-purchasing: reason being is because I'm switching to dye from Sally's Beauty supply so I get less damage. :) It lasted for about 2 weeks, and that's with only washing my hair maybe 3 times each week. So it does fade fairly quickly and I am noticing it fading more, so I will have to re-dye with something different very soon to brighten the color. 

Haul:

I purchased some new nail polishes at Walgreens and Rite Aid, a new brand that I had never heard of. I love the color selection and the overall formula is pretty good as well. The brand is SINFUL COLORS
Colors I purchased:
-24/7 (barbie bubblegum pink color)
-Dream On (bright purple/fuchsia color)
-Innocent (lime green color)
-Frenzy (blue and purple glitter)
-All About You (gold glitter with orange sparkle)
