Makeup Mondays!!

 

Welcome back Beauties!!  I L-O-V-E Makeup Mondays!!  And today I'm sharing with you some of my favorite eyeshadows...if you, like me, like glitter, then these babies are a MUST HAVE!

 

These eyeshadows are classified as "Glitter Eye Top Coat" and that just makes them sound even more beautiful, right?!?  These are the Ulta Glitter Eye Top Coat Glitter Eye Shadows...WHEWWW!!!  A mouthful, I know, but they are totes worth it!!

Price point is $8.00 a piece OR 2 for $8.00 - there are 8 different shades to choose from and I believe I have all but one...maybe?  Haha ;)) The shadow shades shown above are:  Deep End (teal shade), Bronze Bombshell (bronze shade), Fairy Princess (light beige shade).

 

My opinions on this product:  These are extremely pigmented shadows, that are best applied using your finger.  I will pat these shadows on my lid to give it glittery gorgeousness!!  There IS fallout, however I do not mind with glitter :))

 

I absolutely LOVE these shadows and I feel they are a MUST in your makeup collection - especially if you are a glitter lover, like myself!  They are affordable and extremely gorgeous.  I cannot say enough good things about them!!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and stay tuned for more beauties I can't wait to share!

 

Remember to always leave a trail of glitter ;))

 

Until next time, take care!

TGIF FOTD!! Featuring TooFaced Cosmetics and L'Oreal

Welcome back Beauties!!  I'm excited to share today's details b/c I have been waiting to play with this TooFaced palette what seems like FOREVER now!!  The look I created today is something I like to call...a "Mossy" look.  How's that sound??

This palette offers deep earthy tones, most with shimmer or glitter and a few mattes, which I used the cream matte shade as a blending shade.  The colors I used to create today's look were Nightcap (a toasted khaki color with shimmer), After Hours (a glittery taupe color), Eclipse (an irridescent brown) and Night Fever (a forest green with gold specs).

This palette is definitely in the neutral family however, these are DEEP tones, and some I'd favor to jewel tones?  If there is ever such a thing??  Neutral jewel tones??  Any who, I LOVE the shimmer and glitter payoff, however some I know do not like that so much, so if that's YOU, you may want to take a look at the matte palette that TooFaced offers.  This palette I used today only offers 2 matte shades, the rest have an irridescent, shimmer or glitter finish to them.

Another little gem I used today was the L'Oreal Golden Emerald infallible eye shadow and this is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!  I found this at Ulta and I am SO glad I purchased this beauty!!  It also has gold glitter specs in it, which makes this another fall staple you MUST invest in!!

I usually like to pair my makeup with what I'm wearing - yes, I'm THAT dork!!  But today I didn't care b/c I have been wanting to use this TooFaced palette so I just came up with a lil sumthin-sumthin ;))

Another NEW Fall staple I now have and can't wait to come up with some more gorgeous eye looks!! 

I hope you enjoyed today's FOTD and remember to shop my custom glitter tumblers at www.etsy.com/shop/TheeGlitterBee

FOTD featuring L'Oreal and Milani blush

Happy Thursday Beauties!  Today's look is including my NEW drugstore beauty products L'Oreal CupaJoe palette and Milani Fantastico Mauve blush.

I've seen BOTH these products featured in several YouTube videos and on Instagram, and if you can, I suggest grabbing both of these as they will easily become staples in your beauty routine, ESP for the fall!! 

I absolutely LOVE this blush - I'm a sucker for anything shimmery and glittery and this blush DEF has it's share of shimmer.  So, if you do NOT like a shimmery blush, then I would steer clear of this one.  It's gorgeous though, and I don't feel the shimmer is overkill on my face.  But I'm indoors, so it's not like I can really tell??

This eyeshadow palette is nothing but matte, neutral shadows, so if this is more your "cup-o-tea" (or CUPA-JOE haha) then I recommend this little beauty!!  You can usually find L'Oreal products on sale at your local CVS, or Walgreens and that would be the best time to get it!

I did add a little extra "pizz-azz" and put glitter liner along my bottom lash line.  I used NYX glitter liner in CRYSTAL SILK.  It's a champagne colored glitter and is gawwjusss ;)) but I'm a glitter addict so I'm partial ;))

I hope you enjoyed this look and don't forget to check out my online store of GLITTER TUMBLERS!!  www.etsy.com/shop/TheeGlitterBee

NEW L'Oreal and Maybelline Product Displays

I went out on my lunch break today and did a little investigating.  I let the journalist/photographer/reporter in me come out and have a little fun.  Below I have for you some new products that I found in my local Walgreens - there is A LOT to go over here!!  These items are from L'Oreal and Maybelline and it seems to be a lot of interesting items - at least interesting to the makeup "whore" in me!!  Sorry, but SO true! 

Feast your eyes on the new makeup items I place before you - FYI I have NOT seen these items anywhere else as of today.  However I have read elsewhere that these are new items for summer and should hopefully be popping up in more of your retail chains.

First things first:  L'Oreal items...please notice they have 2 BB creams to choose between...

Now for the Maybelline items...

You'll notice they have lipsticks, which I thought was an odd choice of shades for summer?  Plums??  And the eyeshadow palettes were definitely gorgeous just nothing that really stood out to me and in my mind I'm thinking "I HAVE TO HAVE THAT!!"

With that said, all items still fabulous, please don't get me wrong.

I hope this sparkes your interest as much as it does mine!!  NOW...to decide WHICH BB cream to try...I'm a sucker for Maybelline's products, but this is getting to be TOO HARD!!

Thanks Lovlies and until next time, Take Care!!

EOTD Green winged liner using SHADOW

Hello my Lovlies!!  Welcome back...today I was feeling rather green, but in a good way!!  I have done this look another time using another color and I loved the way it turned out.  Rather than having SO much color on the lid, this is a taste of the color.  I used just a neutral base all over the lid all the way to my brow-bone.

I used a small, firm angled brush to place the color OVER the liquid liner I had already placed.  I always "wing" out my liner b/c I personally love the look.  For my lower lash-line I put brown pencil liner in my waterline and then placed the green eyeshadow right at my where my lashes start.  I feel the closer you place the shadow when doing this look, the cleaner it seems?  That's my opinion...

I will include pictures down below along with listings of the products I used!

FOTD in natural lighting...LOVING THE BOW!!

*The eyeshadow I used all over the lid was WetNWild the light beige color from the VANITY palette. 
*The liquid liner is my ELF brown liner (which I LOVE). 
*The green eyeshadow I used to line my eyes is the green shadow in the WetNWild I LOVE MATTEs palette.
*The brown pencil liner I used in my waterline is my NYX slide-on, glide-on pencil in Brown
*Mascaras I used were Maybelline's Great Lash Lots of Lashes and the new PLUSH mascara

I absolutely LOVE all of these products and they are all inexpensive and can be picked up at your nearest drugstores or Ulta.

Hope you enjoyed!!  Until next time, take care and *shinee* on...
