Collective Drugstore Haul

 

I'm back! I figured out my camera issues, thank god. So I'm here to show you some stuff I've bought at the drugstore over the past couple weeks. Some hits and some misses in here! Click below to see :)

Easy Bright Blue Liner

 

Hi there! It's been so long since I've posted an actual eye look, and I've really been anxious to! I went to Sephora to exchange a product the other day and walked out with the same product and this new bright blue liner. It's Urban Decays 24/7 liner in Electric. It. Is. Beautiful! I know this look has been done so many times by so many people, but I'm really enjoying it and thought you might like to see how I did it! It includes a mini review on the liner too :) I didn't take pictures of the actual steps, but it's very simple. So here we go!

Products used: Urban Decay Naked Basics, 24/7 Pencil in Electric & Maybelline Great Lash in Teal Appeal.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with these liners, they're some of my favorites! I use Perversion everyday. Electric is a bright turquoise/teal color with a slight sheen to it. It glides on so easily. It stays put it my waterline, but regardless I always set it a powder on my lower or upper lashline.

 

Please excuse my brows, dear god.

- I started with a primed lid and blended Naked 2 above the crease.

- Next I took faint and blended it right over Naked 2.

- I applied crave all over my lid, then took a tiny bit on the tip of a blending brush and blended it into Faint.

- Highlighted with a matte white shadow. I could have blended this a bit more, meh.

- I heavily lined my lower lash line with Electric, bringing it into my inner corner also. I set it with a translucent powder.

- I applied falsies and black mascara to the top lashes, and Teal Appeal to the bottom lashes!

And that's it! easy but bold and fun! I really love this liner. I've only ever owned zero, perversion and whiskey 24/7 liners but now I think I'll venture out into the other colors! I picked mine up at Sephora for 19$.

I hope you all liked my post, and thank you so much for reading!!

Review: Maybelline "The Falsies Black Drama" Mascara

 

Hey lovelies! Today's post is a review on a new mascara, Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama. I am running low on my current favorite (L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions) and decided instead of repurchasing, I'd pick something new up.

Halloween FOTD

 

Hey ladies! Halloween was yesterday, and I didn't do anything. I rarely do on the actual day because I work. BUT, I always do some festive makeup look. This years is a little more tame than last years, I was really feeling the color purple. I've been posting a lot of face of the days lately, I just haven't had a ton of time to write up great posts. I'm hoping to have a couple reviews up in the next week! If you want to see the products I've used for this look, click below. :)

September Favorties!

I know September technically isn't over yet, but I decided I'd put up my September favorites now! I have lots of great, new products I've been loving this month. Much thanks to my horrible, horrible shopping addiction. I'm not even kidding, it got worse today! I can't be stopped. But I've been getting good hours at work and I got a tip today so I'm justifying it!

First up are the 3 lip products I've been reaching for the most. All Revlon products, didn't even realize that.. Anyway from left to right- Lilac Pastelle lipgloss, Pink Pout matte lipstick and Gumdrop lip butter.

I liked the layer the gloss over the lip butter for a really pretty lilac color. Pink Pout is a great color for everyone I believe. It give your lips a nice natural pink color and actually isn't too drying on the lips if you moisturizer beforehand.

Next I have Rimmels Stay Matte powder. I bought this a few years ago in the translucent shade and never really used it too.much. But after getting fed up with my oily skin decided to give it a try again, and I now love it!

Another face product is a Kat Von D blush in the shade Heartagram. I'm gonna be honest, the ONLY reason I bought this blush is because of the name. HIM is my favorite band, and the heartagram is their logo. It's a very dark dusty rose color. I'm very fair and I have to use it with a super light hand. But I've really been using it everyday and like the more dramatic blush look. I use to to contour a Little and am very happy with it. Plus, it will last forever..

Maybelline clear mascara, use it for my brows. It keeps them in place and looking tidy!

Next is L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara. I have a review about this here. This stuff is heaven in a mascara tube. I've never been more pleased with a mascara! No joke.

After that is Maybellines Great Last mascara in So Very Berry. I've been using this so much since I picked it up. Which is funny because when I bought it I was like lol Nicole you're never gonna use this! It really does look great layered over my regular mascara and along on the lower lashes. It just adds such a nice touch! Especially for this time of year when I'm using so many warm eye colors.

Finally, we have the Anastasia Brow Wiz. I really love this brow pencil. It looks really natural because it has such a fine point. I also love that it has a spoolie on one end, super helpful! I've been pairing this with the clear mascara and my brows look fab.

Ok ladies those are my favorites for this month. I look forward to October. It's one of my favorite months! I hope you enjoyed this post, and thanks so much for reading.

Toodles. .

L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions Review!

 

Hello there. I was going through my makeup collection yesterday and I realized.. I only own one mascara. I know this sounds absolutely insane coming from someone who is obsessed with makeup. A few months ago if you would have asked me I would have said 20. I came to my senses and purged a bunch of old makeup. I've been using Benefits They're Real and I was loving it, but I wanted to try something new. I like to have options. I almost picked this mascara up a few times but talked myself out of it everytime.

Nicole you do not need this mascara! You have a great one! Go buy more colorful eyeshadow!

Yeah, basically my inner dialogue every time I was at the store. I had been seriously neglecting my lashes by substituting with falsies. Anyway, something struck me today while I was in CVS (probably my 5 dollar off coupon) I had heard so many great things about this mascara and today was the day! So if you would like to see my review of this mascara, click below!
