Today was not a great day for me makeup-wise. This look took me much longer than it should of. That's the cost of taking two months off, I guess. For some reason after I messed up real good the third time, I decided to just go with it and this is what happened. I debated whether or not to post this because it's not my best work, but I really love the how well the oranges and copper go together. Maybe I'll do a "remixed" version in the future and use all of the same products to do a different look. I don't know, maybe Cleopatra would have liked this. Haha.

I don't think I've ever (in my life) done an orange eye look. The Venus shade from BH's Galaxy Chic palette was just too gorgeous to ignore! Plus, I know a ton of you really liked it!

Have you ever had an "off" day and then ended up rolling with it?

I think I'm going to start doing more of these (while still posting FOTDs as well) so let me know what you think! It's a little more convenient right now since my husband is still on nights. My desk/vanity is currently in our room and I'm too blind to apply makeup in front of the bathroom mirror. I feel bad cos the lights normally wake him up and I make a ridiculous amount of noise when I put on makeup; shuffling products around, opening and closing drawers, and I am also super good at dropping everything. These eye of the day looks take significantly less time to do, so I won't bother Ryan for too long while I'm applying my makeup. That and apparently I have a skin tag (we think?) located right under one of my eyes. I don't know where it came from and hope it goes away soon because it is less than cute.

Also, I'm sorry that my eye isn't in focus! I took at least 20 pictures and in all of the pictures with my eyes open, the camera decided to say "Oh yeah? Well, I'mma take a picture of your eyebrow now!" instead of focusing on my pupil like I wanted it to. Oh well. At least I learned that if I have time, I should look at my pictures before taking off my makeup so I can retake them if need be. Hooray for learning!

Anywhooo, let me know whatcha think and feel free to suggest any of the products that I've swatched for me to use in a look!

P.S. Holy HD, Batman! You can see every pore and little freckle on my face!

I recently got three different colors of Rimmel Apocalips (aka Rimmel Show Offs) and I finally tried one out. As far as I can tell, I'm really liking them. How do you feel about them?

July Favorites 2013

paula's choice, revlon, just bitten kissable balm stain, colorstay, mary kay, gel eyeliner, lip liner, starlooks, mac cosmetics, naked palette, urban decay, cover girl, clump crusher mascara, milani, baked blush
These are the products that I’ve been loving throughout last month!
mac, mac cosmetics, electric eel, eyeshadow
Mac Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Electric Eel
This eyeshadow seems to be one that I’ve reached for over and over again in July. The color is a nice aqua with lots of shimmer. Electric Eel is perfect to use with a neutral look for a pop of color or with a bold look as well.

Mac Cosmetics – $15.00

revlon, revlon colorstay, colorstay foundation, liquid foundation, combo/oily, 200 nude
Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation in 200 Nude for Combination/Oily Skin
Whew! That’s a mouthful. This is a perfect match for my skin tone in the summer, plus it has SPF 6 (which isn’t a whole lot, but it’s something, yeah?) and it’s specifically made for people with combo/oily skin. It goes on well and has nice lasting power.

Paula’s Choice Shine Stopper
I know that I’ve mentioned this before in my I Heart Summer Tag and also on Kitsch Vixen’s Facebook page. This is my holy grail for the summer. I apply just a little bit over my makeup in the areas that normally get super oily and seriously, it lasts pretty much all day. The shine stopper is perfect for keeping you matte and, well, stopping shine!
Paula’s Choice – $21.95

clump crusher mascara, covergirl, covergirl lashblast
Covergirl LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara in Very Black
I’ve noticed that when I use this mascara, it separates my lashes nicely and adds a bit of volume and length. I mean, what else can you ask for in a mascara?

Ulta – $8.99

StarLooks Lip Pencil in Tickle Me Pink
Spoiler alert: I totally got this in my June Ipsy Glam Bag, so act surprised when I post about it in the upcoming blog post! I’ve beenloving this lip liner. It’s a rich cool-toned matte pink, has a super creamy formula, and you can build up the color if you want to. I’ve worn this under lipsticks and also with just some sheer gloss over it. Sooo good!

Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore
This blush is awesome. It’s a really pretty rose berry with gold shimmer. I was honestly not expecting to like any of Milani’s Baked Blushes because any kind of face shimmer scares me for the most part. I knew that I wanted to try some new things though and I am so glad that I did. I’ve been wearing this blush a whole lot during July and it just give this nice shimmery flushed effect.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey
I was super late on the bandwagon with these and I am so mad. These balm stains are comparable to Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tints, but at a drugstore price. Honey was the first color that I tried, thanks toLeighannSays, and it’s become one of my favorite lip products for the summer.

mary kay, gel eyeliner, teal eyeliner
Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner in Tempting Teal
You guys, this is going to blow your mind. This is my first (and currently only) gel liner. Whaaaaat?! I know. I’ve been obsessed with neutral looks with a pop of color and I use this on my bottom waterline. It looks amazing and stays on all day.

This product was sent to me for consideration.

Urban Decay Naked Palette
This palette seems to be a go-to for many beauty bloggers/vloggers, and for good reason. As I said above, I’ve been loving neutral eye looks with a pop of color and I grabbed this palette the most in July. Virgin, Sin, Sidecar, Half Baked, and Darkhorse are my favorites for everyday wear.

I call this my “Cat Butt Wallet”
Last and certainly not least is my wallet, that I purchased fromVillage/Vanguard which is inside of one of my local Aeons. This is probably my favorite wallet ever. Cat print in pink with a fish bone zipper?! Yes, please! Plus the inside is huge. There are so many different sections.

After scouring the internet, I found this online here for ¥2,940. (Keep in mind that I’ve never used this website, so I don’t know how good/reputable it is.)

I Heart Summer Tag

bblogger, beauty blogger, ps blogger, pink hair, blue hair, occ, obsessive compulsive cosmetics, mac cosmetics, milani

I feel like it's been ages since my last blog post because I've been under the weather recently (vertigo! what?!). I'm still not better, but I figured that I could do a tag blog post just to give you guys something! Feel free to answer these on your blog and link it below or tell me your answers in the comment section! Let's get to know each other. :)

1. Favorite bronzer for summer?

Honestly, the only reason I use bronzer is to contour. I'm pretty light skinned and personally I don't like being tan, but I do use Milani's Bronzer XL for my contouring.

2. Favorite summer drink?

I want to say Piña Colada, but let's be honest, I haven't had one in two years. I really like Snapple's Noni Berry juice!  I noticed it at the commissary because of its color (pink) and my husband said that he liked it, so we bought a few and I've been drinking it ever since.

3. Favorite summer lip product?

As much as I love me some lipsticks, recently I've been really loving Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. I find the formula to be really lightweight and moisturizing, which is perfect for summer!

4. Pool or Beach?

I've never been one for the beach because I don't really enjoy hot sand or laying out in the sun. I feel like it's a messier, less fun version of a pool. So I'll have to say pool for this one. The chlorine smell reminds me of being a kid cos of the swimming lessons I took and when I hung out at the pool with my friends in high school.

5. What's your must-have styling product for summer?

A brush. No, seriously! I don't use anything in my hair other than shampoo and conditioner (and hair dye,) and a brush comes in handy when it's ridiculously windy out, which it is pretty regularly here in Sasebo.

6. Sun bathing or fake tan?

As mentioned in answer number one, I don't like being tan. Working at the kennel out here has made me the tannest I've ever been in my life! Being out in the sun makes me feel sick and there's been times where I break out into hives (gross, right?) if I'm in the sun for too long. If I had to choose, it would definitely be fake tan. The lotion/spray tan though, not the tanning booth.

7. Favorite summer nail polish?

I haven't painted my nails all summer! Man, this should be the I'm Bad At Summer tag. However, I am really excited to try out the Zoya nail polish from my May Ipsy Glam Bag.

8. Any summer traditions?

Does my birthday count? I feel like it does. Bonfires, maybe, depending on which friends I live near during the summer. (And The BBQ Club's BBQ!!)

9. Favorite summer scent?

Vanilla! I got a sample of LAVANILA's Healthy Fragrance in Pure Vanilla from my Little Black Bag order in June. I'm surprised how much my husband likes it as well! He said I smelled like cinnamon buns. Yum!

10. Favorite BBQ food?

Cheeseburgers. Give me all the cheeseburgers. Oh man, every year my extended family throws this awesomely amazing BBQ at one of their local parks. It always has a super creative theme and delicious food. I'm a big fan of the chocolate covered strawberries as well as the cheeseburgers. Just sayin'.

11. What's your favorite summer-proof product?

Paula's Choice's Shine Stopper, hands down. I have super oily skin and I use this product every time I wear makeup.

12. Any summer vacation plans this year?

Nah. Ryan is thinking about taking some time off for a staycation though! Maybe we'll explore the surrounding areas. I'd love to go back to Nagasaki.

So, that's my I Heart Summer Tag! I hope you all enjoyed it!
