.supplies.

I got my supplies! <3 It really came in about 2 weeks ago, but I've been busy with work and an out-of-town friend visiting, I haven't had time to update about anything.  So here goes...today's update!

As I searched the Internet a few weeks ago, I came across the website Coastal Scents.  This website is super amazing. On top of a fairly large collection of eyeshadow ingredients (127 micas and pigments alone), they have ingredients for skin care (silicones and oils) and bath bombs.  On top of having different sizes of jars, they have an empty magnetic palette for make up you make at home.  How handy is that?!

So starting from the top left we have an ounce of Sericite, an ounce of Cosmetic Ultramarine Blue BC, an ounce of Magnesium Stearate Powder, an ounce of Brown Iron Oxide BC, an ounce of Sienna Oxide, an ounce of Kaolin Clay, an ounce of Plain Mica Powder, a sampler size of Orchid Shimmer Mica Powder [this was a free thank you gift] and a bubki brush and some containers (obviously not all the containers, I bought 25 in all so I could make lots of little samples).  All in all this only cost me $35.

This ingredients don't limit me to only eyeshadow either which is nice.  I can play around with nail polish and even try out face masks - that is due a lot to the Kaolin Clay which is a great natural additive (You can use it in almost anything...like soap making *ahem*)

Talk about a gorgeous blue!

All in all it should be a very interesting few weeks coming up =)

.easy make-up tutorial.

Yay for first entry! <3

So a friend of mine on Facebook [Ayu-chan <3] asked me how I did my makeup in one of my pictures.  I kind of misplaced my red eyeshadow so I did this tutorial using a green from Too-Faced Smokey Eye Collection.  Hopefully this makes sense and you like this! It's super easy and looks good on everyone <3 {please excuse my 'blah' look....today is one of my lazy days}

First, here is a picture of all the products I used in this tutorial, in the order they are used.

From left to right we have:  Maybelline New York Define-A-Line soft black eyeliner, NYC Sparkle Eye Dust, Too Faced Smoky Eyes, Almay Intense i-Color Mascara for hazel eyes, Prestige white eye liner, Almay Pink/Rose Smart Shade Blush, Hard Candy Button Your Lips lipgloss.  Whew!  Sometimes I use Kat Von D's Eye Primer, but I opted out this time due to being lazy xD









First this is first....eyeliner!  Pretttty basic

After I have my eyeliner on how I like it (sometimes I bring it out, sometimes I don't), I move on to the Sparkle Dust.  This goes on the inside part of my eye and I bring it to about halfway ish across.  I tend to kind of make an angle when doing this.

After I have the inside colour, I turn to the outside colour.  For this tutorial I chose to use the sparkly green from the Too Faced Smoky Eye Palette.  This is a nice palette to have by the way, it has three really great tutorials for smoky eyes. =)  So when I do the green (or whatever the outside colour is), I tend to bring it off my eyelid and towards that bone that's right there.

That really is all there is to it.  Like I said super easy!  All that is really left is mascara and (optional!) white eyeliner and a little of the sparkle eye dust on the bottom part of your eye.

I always add on blush and lipgloss.  So hopefully this was easy to understand and follow!  I hope to do more tutorials like this in the future so please comment with tips, advice, etc etc. <3 <3
