Cotton Candy Inspired Look

Spring has Finally sprung and I'm trying my best to play around with more colors. I've also been craving something sweet and saw a picture of a cupcake topped with cotton candy and so I used this picture as inspiration.

 I don't have a bunch of crazy colors but I busted out my 88 palette that I got a few years ago that's been sitting in my makeup drawer, collecting dust. I also used 2 colors from the Wet 'n' Wild Lust Palette for this look. I hope you all like it!

The first picture above was taken with my iPhone 4s and I posted it to instagram. I'll try to post there first before I would post on my blog since it's easier. Do any of you guys have instagram? If so, you can follow me and vice versa.  My user name is Krystyles

Btw, I was thinking of getting one of the 120 palettes but considering there are  5 versions, I'd love to hear your opinions on which to get.

Anyways, I hope you all have a  great week!

Subtle St. Patrick's Day Makeup

I've been in such a neutral rut with makeup lately and since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, why not paint my face green! Well, a small portion that is. This is something easy to wear without looking tacky especially if you plan on wearing a lot of green clothing. I didn't want to make it complicated so I just used some colors from my Shady Lady Palettes. I threw this look on real quick because I have a cold so please excuse the lack of pictures and sloppiness! Hope you like it!

A Naked 2 FOTD

The other day I decided to play with my Naked 2 palette. Most of the colors I used were on the right side of the palette which are cool toned shades. I just used UD primer potion underneath, although I should have added A paint pot or other base to make it more vibrant as UDPP alone doesn't hold up to my super oily lids. I couldn't get my liner as straight and precise as I used to because my fingers were starting to cramp up got more numb due to my peripheral neuropathy. It's a challenge every time I apply makeup but I try my best.

Anyways, here's what I came up with...

Products used 

Face: 

Urban Decay Urban Defense tinted moisturizer in Bulletproof 

Revlon Age Defying Moisturizing concealer (under the eyes) 

MAC Studio fix powder in NC35 

MAC Accentuate/Sculpt Duo ( to contour my chubby cheeks =P ) 

Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed 

Eyes:

MUFE Brow corrector in shade #3 

UDPP

All shadows from the Naked 2 palette 

Verve (lid, inner corner and lower lash line) 

Pistol (middle of lid, lower lash line) 

Busted (outer corner) 

Blackout (to deepen the outer corner and crease and lower lash line) 

Tease (crease transition) 

Foxy (brow bone highlight) 

Essence Midnight in Paris gel eyeliner 

Miss Adoro lashes 747m 

Lips:

  MAC Viva Glam II l/s 

NYX Mega shine l/g in Sugar Pie 

I also changed tried this with a bold lip using Cover Girl lip perfection in Spellbound. This such a BAM! in your face color and I'm so used to wearing nude or MLBB shades so I'm not as comfortable wearing any bold lip colors cause I feel like I look like a clown since my lips are already big. I heard this shade is a dupe for MACs Girl About Town, which I've been wanting to try but I figure I'd ease my way into wearing bold lips by trying out drugstore lippies first so that I don't waste my money on the more expensive brands.

What do you think? Did any of you get the Naked 2 palette?

FAILED SUNSET LOOK

Hey Lovelies! I just wanted to post a quick FOTD that I wasn't really satisfied with. I haven't been wearing much makeup for the last week since I was sick & there have been some serious things going on in my life so I didn't want to hassle with putting on a whole face, except for when I had to go to school but kept it very minimal. 

Yesterday I felt the need to put on some makeup to make myself feel better. Since it was hot, has been the past few days, I wanted to do a sunset inspired eye look but I couldn't get it down the way I wanted to yesterday. Do you ever have one of those days where you're in a makeup rut? 

I used NYX & the original 88 palette to create the look. The 88 palette is alright but I think I need  better orange and yellow eyeshadows to make it better. I also left my hair with its natural wave cause I was lazy, but it kind of matched with the look I guess. Anyways,  I only took a few pictures cause my camera died on me. Hope you enjoy my fail lol !

FOTD: Quick Bronze look

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with you my quick FOTD using mostly drugstore products. I'm not all about labels so I usually mix high/low end stuff together as long as it's good quality.
Anyways,  the weather today sucked! It was so cloudy, totally different from yesterday. It has me feeling so BLAH, so that's why I went with a simple bronze look plus

I was in a rush to go to class. It's not one of my best looks when it comes to eyeshadow but it's something that's a no fuss kind of look that will go with anything.
