Winter Frost Eyeshadow & NOTW & Blog Award

Hey Girls!

So I think winter is officially here! Well where I live anyways! For the past 3 days I have woke up to snow snow snow! I love the weather when you look outside and the snow has just fallen and it looks all fluffy and sparkly!

This is what I woke up to this morning! Looking outside make me want to get a nice mug of Hot Chocolate and lay in bed watching Christmas movies all day! Haha, but unfortunately I had to work all day today and wasn’t able to enjoy doing that.

However, today I was able to do a eyeshadow tutorial using my Sephora Eyeshadow that bought not to long ago. I really love this eyeshadow and the beautiful silver sparkles that are in it make me love it even more.

I used my Tickled Pink by Sephora and Chocolate by Joe Fresh. I also applied some glitter eyeliner on top of the shadows to make it even more sparkly! I did a post on it when I first purchased this eyeshadow and posted a few swatches here. Tickled Pink is a gorgeous frosty pink color with silver glitters, it isvery smooth in texture, has a shimmery finish, and blends so nicely. I absolutely love this shade paired with a darker chocolate brown color.

For my lips, I decided to go with bright red-pink lips to give the look a pop of color! I also added some shimmery gloss over to make the shadow and lips go perfectly together.

For my face

October Favs

It’s that time again. Wow October just flew by! I can't believe it’s already November. Really, this whole year has flown by. Right away it’s going to be Christmas! I hope all you girls had a wonderful October! Speaking of Christmas, today my city got snow! And not just a little snow, a lot of snow! It was definitely a surprise when I woke up to it, and I was a little disappointed that it snowed. I wish snow would come just a few days before Christmas so it would make the season exciting. 

Lol, enough babbling and onto my October favorites!

♡ Covergirl Clean Sensitive Skin Liguid Foundation; I have been using this brand of foundation for years now and I dont think I ever want to change it. It is smooth, breathable, light, and matches your skin very well! It also lasts all day, which is a must for my Schedule!

♡ Joe Fresh Eyeshadows in Ice and Chocolate; I have been loving these eyeshadows for about 3 months now, and I keep finding new shades to love. This month I have been using Ice for the shade on my lid and Chocolate for my crease and outer "V" It is a simple but cute look!

♡ Wet n' Wild Concealer; This concealer comes in second place to my liquid one, which sadly I have ran out of, so this month it has been working pretty well for me. It covers my dark circles pretty good and any other blemishes I may have at the time. All-in-all it a good concealer for a cheap price!

♡ E.L.F Total Powder Brush; This brush I have used for months, but have never mentioned it on my blog before. I really take this brush for granted. It is very soft and pickes up powder & bronzer really well. It is from E.L.F's Essential Line which means it was only $1...Super cheap and works great!!

♡ L.A. Colors Color Craze Polishes in Green Tea, Jewel Tone, and Sassy Sparkle; I have used these polishes a lot lately and love them more and more each time! I love using Sasy Sparkle as a top coat because it leaves my nails all sparkly. Jewel Tone is a purple/violet/blue sparkly polish that looks great over a black or purple painted nail. And Green Tea is a minty-turquoise color that is very unique!

♡ Avon Naturals Lip Balm; If your lips dry out, crust, and crack with the cold weather, this lip balm is for you! It is sooo moisturizing, and makes the cracks in your lips feel like they get "filled in". The grapefruit and mint flavor reminds me of the summer season while it heals the fall/winter problems of cracked lips!

♡ Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Base Coat in Nude; This is a great base coat that keeps my brittle nails from not chipping! I can say that once I have been using a good base coat, my nails have been feeling and looking stronger without chipping. It is a thicker polish which is what I look for in a base coat to really protect my nails!

Here are all my faves...what have you been loving this month!? I would love to hear them to see if we agree! :)

Love to hear from you girls!

Sephora Tender Pink Shadow ♡

Hi Ladies!Wow have I ever been busy, especially today! At school today, I had a oral presentation, a quiz, an exam, and a major project due, so I havnt has time to post anything new yet! But today I have a post about a wonderful shadow that I just recently bought from Sephora!

This past weekend, my friend came into town and we went shopping to Sephora, which just recently opened in my city. When I walked in I was literally like this is makeup Heaven! Haha, it was wonderful! While my friend bought a makeup palette, I purchased the most wonderful eyeshadow I have ever seen! I got one of the Colorful Mono Eyeshadows in the Sephora Collection in the color Tender Pink.

 

When describing this beautiful color, the best fit discription would be that it is a frosty light pink color with silver glitters. This is my first Sephora eyeshadow, but the Ladies working there told me that their Mono Eyeshadows have the perfect, combination of brilliant color, an easy-blending formula, and endless versatility that will give your eye-makeup a show-stopping effect! I was told that to create a dazzling look, after priming your lids, to apply the color dry for a natural vibe or dampen your brush and apply wet for a sophisticated look. I have tried using the wet formula and I know from expierence that this way really works to make your eyeshadows pop!

I took 2 different swatches of the shadow to see the beautiful color :)

This first picture was taken under darker light with no flash, and you can see the frosty color here.

This picture was taken under a brighter light with a flash on. Here you can really see the frosty light pink color and the silver glitters. I think I am in love! Haha.
This shadow was $16 CDN, and it was worth it!
I will hopefully do a review and tutorial with this color very soon! :)

What is your favorite eyeshadow brand and/or color?

Love to hear from you girls!
