I WORK THE BRUSH!

Hey guys!! I'm back!! I know it has been a while but I have returned and ready to get busy with my beauty blog. I have alot of new things and tips to share with you. Now you all may be wondering why I have not YouTubed any of my work. Well first off to I would to say that whatever I am passionate about I like to do well. Being that I don't have the proper tools to give you guys the best of me- I have not started my video blogging. That is not to say that I wont do it or that I dont want to. But when I do start video blogging, trust ME that you all will be the first to know so that you may have front row seats as to how I work the brush. I want to share so many things with you!!! I can't wait! All in due timing! But for now Blogger.com is my way of putting myself and my work out there. And for that I'm grateful.=)

Puerto Rico..Mi Orgullo!

Proud to be Puerto Rican!! Today I decided to show some of that pride through my passion which is Make-up. Im very passionate about who I am and where I came from..Puerto Rico you will always have a place in my heart!

WILD THANG LOOK

 

 

COSMIC RUNWAY

RAINBOW BRIGHT

I USED MYBEAUTYMARK 120 PRO COLOR PALETTE 1ST EDITION..RAINBOW BRITE WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS LOOK..I USED NYX JUMBO PENCIL IN MILK AS A BASE..THEN I USED THE BLUE ON MY EYELID , LAYERED WITH THE HOT PINK AND THEN WITH THE YELLOW..THE INNER CORNER I USED THE GREEN- AS  SEEN ABOVE AS WELL AS THE ORANGE FROM THE SAME PALETTE. I ASLO USED GLAMAMOUR COSMETIC *JUICY* PIGMENT TO GIVE THAT MATTE ORANGE A NICE GLITTERY TOUCH. I ALSO USED A FAIRLY FLAT ANGLED BRUSH TO MAKE THE COLORS WING OUT IN UNISON & NEATLY. FOR THE BOTTOM LID I USED A PURPLE EYESHADOW WITH A FLAT BRUSH TO USE UNDERNEATH & ALSO TO ACHEIVE THAT WINGED LOOK. FOR THE EYELINER I USED LOREAL'S TELESCOPIC WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER IN BLACK. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS EYELINER IS THAT IT HELPS ME ACHIEVE PRECISION. SO IF YOU WANT TO DO A PERFECT WINGED EYELINER LOOK , LOREAL'S TELESCOPIC EYELINER IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT FOR THIS. HOPE  YOU LIKED THIS LOOK!  IT WAS FUN & REALLY EASY..I WOULDNT WEAR THIS TO BE OUT AND ABOUT..BUT IT IS DEFENITELY FUN TO PLAY WITH THOSE COLORS. TILL NEXT TIME MY MAKEUP JUNKIES!

BEAUTY IN THE COSMOS PRESENTS PHOENIX!

THIS PICTURE INSPIRED THIS LOOK. I WAS JUST BROWSING THROUGH SOME X-MEN PHOTOS BECAUSE I LOOOVVE X-MEN..LOL..& I STUMBLED UPON THIS PICTURE. AS SOON AS I SEEN IT I KNEW I HAD TO BREW SOMETHING UP & WORK THE BRUSH..& SO I DID. HOPE YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE LOOK. I DON'T HAVE ANY YOUTUBE TUTORIALS YET..SORRY :( BUT BELOW I WILL BE GIVING THE DESCRIPTIONS AS TO WHAT WAS USED TO CREATE THIS LOOK.

PRODUCTS USED:

                            1. BASE: NYX JUMBO PENCIL IN MILK(put this all over your lid) This base will pull in the pigment from your shadow, enhancing colors & making your shadow last!

                           

                         2. LID- LANCOME SHIMMER CENTER STAGE SHADOW(You will put this on your lid until you reach the point underneath the arch of your brow. Reason for this is because you dont want the gold to take away from the brown that you will be adding to your outer lid. You want the brown to be true to its color.)

                         

                          3.OUTER LID/CREASE- URBAN DECAYS DEEPER SHADOW FROM THEIR 15YR ANNIVERSARY PALETTE( You little by little add the brown on the outer lid and while you doing this you softly want to create this kind of shape < . Do not go too high. Make sure you stay under your brow bone because you will be adding a couple other colors. As you work your way in the lid you want to BLEND. Remember you want your outer lid to be a little dark & as you work your way in, it should start to look lighter. You always want to add little by little by starting off with a small amount. It's always easier to keep adding on than to add too much to then start all over. DON'T RUSH..Take your time doll;)

                       

                       4. OUTER CREASE ABOVE BROWN- MYBEAUTYMARK 1ST EDITION PALETTE-I used a RED and BURNT ORANGE color they had in their palette and softly & lightly blended the color on. I made sure I used my hands really light with barely any pressure so that it layed on smoothly and beautifully blended. REMEMBER BLEND, BLEND BLEND!! If you can see harsh lines you have NOT blended enough!

5. MID CREASE ABOVE BROWN-GLAMAMOUR COSMETICS PIGMENT CALLED JUICY(ORANGE COLOR)- This color I very very lightly dabbed some on the brush and lightly blended in in the mid section of my upper lid . As i did that i lightly blended it in with the brown. All these colors should look like they are fading into one another.

6. BROW BONE HIGHLIGHT- URBAN DECAYS VANILLA SHADOW FROM THEIR 15YR ANNIVERSARY PALETTE.( You want to take this color and put it on your brow bone and blend in!!)

7. INNER CORNER- TOO FACED *PINK FIRE* GLAMOUR SHIMMER DUST( You want to just take a little bit and dab some in your inner corner and VERY lightly work it in ..just so they wont be any streaking of dust. VUALA!  
YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THIS PHOENIX LOOK!! NOW THAT WASNT SO BAD! 

IF YOU WERE HAVING A HARD TIME DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED I TOO HAD MY MOMENTS WERE I JUST WANTED GIVE UP- BUT PRACTICE IN THIS KIND OF WORK DOES MAKE PERFECT! BELIEVE ME! I STARTED OUT JUST LIKE YOU!! YOU CAN DO IT! I BELIEVE IN YOU DOLL! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR CHECKING ME OUT! I APPRECIATE THE VIEWS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!! LOVE YOU ALL! ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS FEEL FREE!

SKINDINAVIA HAUL!!!

I BOUGHT SKINDINAVIAS NO MORE SHINE SETTING SPRAY 16HR HOLD AND I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND HALF. NOW SOME PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE WEREN'T TOO CRAZY ABOUT IT AND SAID THAT IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THEM BUT BEING THE STUBBORN PERSON THAT I AM I CHOSE EXPERIENCE IT  FOR MYSELF.  TO MY PLEASANT SURPRISE IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FOR ME. MY SKIN THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN FAIRLY OILY, ESPECIALLY IN THE T-ZONE AREAS. SUPER ANNOYING WHEN YOU HAVE TO TOUCH UP SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT SLAPPED WITH GREASY BACON STRIPS. NOT COOL! SO OF COURSE I HAD TO SWITCH UP ALL MY SKINCARE AND REALLY TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OVER THIS OIL INVASION THAT WAS TAKING PLACE ON MY FACE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO USE NOW IS THIS PRODUCT RIGHT HERE. THE SHINE FOR ME HAS MINIMIZED TREMENDOUSLY. I AM NOT SURE HOW WELL IT WOULD WORK FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEVERE CASES OF SEBUM OIL PRODUCTION SO I CAN NOT SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF. I DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE A REALLY BAD CASE OF OILY SKIN  BUT COMPARED TO HOW MY FACE WAS A YEAR AGO IT HAS INCREASED IN OIL PRODUCTION. SO FOR ME THIS PRODUCT HAS HELPED ME A BUNCH. NOW THAT I HAVE STARTED TO USE THIS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ALL THE EXTRA STUFF OUT MY PURSE AND MINIMIZE IT DOWN TO JUST LIPSTICK, LIP GLOSS, EYELINER AND MY SPRAY IF I KNOW ITS GONNA BE A LONG DAY JUST TO REFRESH MY FACE. YOU SPRAY IT ON BEFORE APPLICATION AND AFTER & IT LEAVES A BEAUTIFUL FINISH AND IT SMELLS REALLY NICE.IT CLAIMS TO GIVE YOUR MAKEUP HOLD A 16HR LIFESPAN. NOW MY MAKE-UP HAS LASTED WAYYY MORE THAN BEFORE..I WOULDN'T KNOW IF IT WORKS UP TO 16 HOURS BECAUSE I NEVER HAD MY MAKE-UP ON THAT LONG. BUT IT DOES GIVE YOUR MAKEUP A NICE LIFESPAN ON YOUR FACE. SKINDINIVIA ALSO MAKES SETTING SPRAYS FOR URBAN DECAY. 

*TO EACH ITS OWN..SOME PEOPLE WERE HAPPY WITH IT AND SOME PEOPLE WERE NOT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT WORKS FOR YOU INSTEAD OF TAKING SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION TO HEART. AFTER ALL  THEY ARE >OPINIONS< NOT FACTS. SO GO TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM AND DANCE TO YOUR RHYTHM. IF YOU ARE SKEPTICAL AND WANT TO TRY IT OUT YOU CAN GET THE SMALLER BOTTLE AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU LIKE IT WORKED FOR ME.
