Bath and Body Gradual Tanners!

I started using this product last Summer. Then I stopped when the Winter came. (I don't know why since you would think you would use it during Winter? Haha) I really enjoy using this product because it is basically like a lotion. Some self tanners have that nasty smell to it and my skin absorbs smells pretty well and it used to last on me all day! The Bath and Body Tanner smells fabulous and there are many different scents! The one I have been using recently is Honeysuckle. Its one of my favorites. The reason I use this self tanner is to not get tan by to make my tan last longer. I went to the lake for the three day weekend and I got pretty dark. So right away when I got home I applied the tanner lotion right after I got out of the shower. Its best to do it then because it locks in moisture from your shower. Also if you shower before bed like I do, it gives the tanner some time to work while your sleeping. The price is pretty affordable it costs around fifteen dollars! This product has helped my tan last longer through the Winter too!

My Favorite Drugstore Brand Make-Up.

I really don't use drugstore brand make-up anymore, not because I don't like them but that I don't trust them. What I mean by not trusting them is ones that I think that does not test on animals it ends up that it really does. This upsets me so I stop using the brand. The one brand I really trust is Urban Decay, now that can get a little pricey. So I picked out my favorite drugstore brand. My favorite drugstore brand is Physicians Formula, I really enjoy using their products because they don't test on animals, they are eco-friendly, and are for all types of skin (i.e. dry, oily, or sensitive!) Not once have I ever broken out because of their products. Another thing that I like is they have a large variety of face, eyes, and lip products! This brand is always coming out with something new! Their products are good quality too! The eye shadows are very pigmented, the face shimmer is just the right amount of shimmer, and the lip products give your face that extra omppff! I've never been dis-satisfied with Urban Decay. I really love them! You can find there products at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and many other places! Check out Physicians Formula here!

Look Of The Day!

Well, technically it was last weeks look but its all good (: I figured you guys would still like it anyway! Its a Smokey burgundy/pinkish eye.



What I used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Urban Decay Shadow in Sin
Urban Decay Shadow in Last Call
Urban Decay Shadow in Maui Wowie
Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Bourbon
Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Yeyo
Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara
Bare Minerals All Over Face Color in Bare Radiance
The Balm Hot Mama Blush


Here's a quick summery of what I did!

First, I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then, I added Sin as my base color. After Sin, I lightly dusted Last Call all over my lid until it was even coloring. Then I pulled up the shadow a bit to give it that harsh edge cat eye effect. (You can use tape for a guideline if you need too!) Once I did that I took Maui Wowie and started in the middle of my lid and blended left to right until it faded. (Don't use too much Maui Wowie) After all of that I took Yeyo and lined my upper lid and waterline to give the wide eye look to my eyes. Then I lined my lower lash line with Bourbon. Apply about two to three full coats of mascara. Then start on your face make-up. Lightly dust Bare Radiance all over your face to give you that healthy glow. Then apply Hot Mama Blush to the apples of your cheeks. Voila, your finished!
