♥︎ Shopping My Makeup ♥︎ || Epi. 3 || ♥︎ Valentine's Day Look Idea ♥︎

 

Ciao, beautiful people!

YAY! I finally have a new Shopping My Makeup post! I love doing these. I will be honest, I did not intend for this to be a Valentine's Day edition, I just though the look would be perfect of Valentine's Day. 

I think you might start seeing a "theme" with my makeup looks. I love, love rose-pinks. 

Here is the makeup I used:

**Links are to MY reviews, which go into more detail! Also, this blog post is not sponsored! 

**I noticed (thanks to the pictures) that the brow-product I'm using is too red for me. I won't be using it anymore! :( 

 In natural lighting!

 With flash!

This is Wet N Wild's The Comfort Zone Palette. It's my favorite palette, yes more than the Chocolate Bar. The colors are just my kind of colors. 

These shadows don't have individual names (I wish they did). The color I used as a blending color is quite unique. It's a red-brown with some aqua glitter thrown in, it's a beautiful dual-chrome. It also blends out in the crease (although it's not matte) perfectly. 

 You can really see the beauty of these colors in this picture! 

This is the elf Blush Palette in "light". I LOVE LOVE this guy! It gives me so many options and the colors are fabulous. Again, these don't have individual names. I used a mixture of the blushes with a blue-heart. It gave me a coral flush, which I LOVE!  

The first mascara is the HardCandy LashAHolic in black. I really like it. It seems to get better with use. It gives me full lashes and does not wear off easily.

The second one is LA Colors Bold Lash in black. I got this at the dollar tree. It's not amazing, but it does seem to comb the lashes without clumping.

This is the wand of the HardCandy mascara. It's in a swoop allowing for a really smooth application.

The LA Colors mascara is bigger and more traditional. By itself it's nothing to brag about.

This is NYX eyeliner in "black brown". NYX is now owned by L'Oreal and I longer buy from them. I've had this for a while. I've used in the tight-line.

I recently got the Milani Face Powder. I LOVE LOVE it! It gives me a matte look, which I always go for. It also gives more coverage. I LOVE the lace-y imprint it has! It's such a cute compact!

 It also lasts a good 4 hours. The color is okay for me now, but in Summer I know it will be too light. I'll just have to use a little bronzer. 

I used my favorite foundation, elf Flawless Finish in 'sand'. I used my LA Girl concealer in 'medium beige'. As a primer I used my Wet N' Wild Fergie primer. I LOVE these! They are great and so affordable! 

I hope you enjoyed this!!! I always have a blast writing these blog-posts! I have not spent money on anything because of these blog posts. I've only bought powders (which run out quickly) and foundation. Don't get me wrong I really want some of the new things out there, but I DON'T need them!

BTW, I didn't used a lip product. I had a cold-sore which was just healing and didn't want to put anything on them. (Sorry, if that's TMI). 

Hope you liked this look! I honestly didn't mean to make it Valentine's Day themed, but I think the colors work well for V-Day! Don't you agree?! I love Valentine's day, even though I don't have a bae. I love on my family and friends & my pups instead! Also, I bake! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Weekend! 

Lots of Love,

Camila

❤︎Shopping My Makeup || Epi. 2

 Hello guys!

I'm so excited so many of you liked my last blog post. It's been awesome for me to put my products to use and I hope to keep this series going.

The other day I could not get my eyeshadow to look right! I didn't like the eyeshadows I was using and gave up. I wanted something really easy and reached for my elf Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow in "soiree". I have not used this guy since the first week I hauled it. It's truly a shame because it's such a beautiful color. It's a truly glittery creamy eyeshadow. Be sure to use it with a primer or it will be crease city. 

 (Sorry about that random gap in the left).

AHHH! Just look at that color! I really love this eyeshadow!

I used elf's Eyebrow Kit in "medium" to fill in my brows. As you can tell I use it a lot. It is a bit on the warmer side but my hair is a little red so it works for me.

I used NYX's Eyeshadow Primer. (NYX is now owned by L'oreal and I do not buy from them anymore. I've had this primer before they were bought out). 

I used Physicians Organic wear mascara. I like this mascara but it is on the drier side. It has been my experience that it dries quickly. I do like it a lot and have repurchased it. 

For foundation I used elf's Flawless Finish Foundation in "sand" and elf's Acne Fighting Foundation in "sand". Weirdly enough the Acne Fighting Foundation in "sand" is wayyy too dark for me. I don't get it either! I used an equal ratio of both foundations to give myself a bit of a tan.

 I used my Wet N Wild Bronzer in "Ticket to Brazil" as a blush/bronzer. As you can see it looks like a peachy (more on the orange side) on me. I would NOT recommend this bronzer for contouring. It is too shimmery to go on the contour, like you can see. I really like it because it livens up my skin tone and makes me look more bronzed. I have used this bronzer almost to the brim and I will be repurchasing it once it runs out. Also it smells like summer and sunscreen which I really LOVE.

Finally I used elf's Matte Lip Color in "Tea Rose". As you can tell I used a lot of elf products, I really like elf and I have a lot of their products apparently, lol.

 I first put a bit of eos lip balm in "mint" because these matte lip colors are a bit on the dry side. The color is a lilac-pink. I used a sheer amount because if I apply it opaquely it almost looks like a concealer, at least on me. 

Top: Praline

Botton: Tea Rose

I hope you liked this post and the look I came up with. I want your opinion. I don't like listing the prices of the products because, mainly,  I'm lazy but also because it's not hard to find them. Meanwhile, I want to please you guys. If you would like me to put the prices please let me know. 

Lots of Love,

Camila

❤︎Shopping My Makeup Collection! ||

Hey guys!

I wanted to start a series on this blog all about putting to use the makeup I already have in my collection. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have a huge collection. Yet, it's big enough that I don't really need more makeup right now. I don't want my blushes/eyeshadows/liners to go to waste. See, it's so easy (especially when you're in the beauty community) to feel the need to buy-buy-buy. At least that's how I feel sometimes. I want to use the makeup I already have to come up with new and exciting looks. This is the look I have for you today. (Ironically, it's not really new and exciting). This is something I would wear on a daily basis. 

I hope you enjoy this new series! 

I had lots of fun coming up with it! 

Left to Right: elf Flawless Finish Foundation in "sand", LA Girl Pro. Conceal HD-"Pure Beige", & Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Primer

I have a review on this elf foundation. It's my favorite foundation! I have to be completely honest though. See, I shot the pictures of the products I planned to use the day before I actually used them. When I went to apply them, I forgot I had planned to use this elf foundation. In the picture I have an NYX foundation. (Which, I got before they were bought out!) 

I got the concealer a few weeks ago. I have to say I REALLY like it! I use it to cover discoloration and pimples. (LA Girl is on PETA's list).

The primer I've had forever! It's awesome! I don't think I've really talked about it, which is a shame. It will make everything last all day! You need the least bit and you need to blend it really well or it will dry and look like clay. Which then becomes almost impossible to remove without ruining your makeup.

&

EveryDay Minerals Blush in "All Smiles"

Left to right: "purple", "blush", "brown" & "black" 

The eyeliners you see are the elf Waterproof shadow liners. In "blush" and "purple".

I used "blush" as a cream eyeshadow and as a base for "marzipan". It really helps "marzipan" standout. 

I used "purple" as an eyeliner. 

I LOVE my Chocolate Bar palette! I use it a lot but I can definitely use it more. As you can see in the picture above I used "marzipan" All over the lid.

I used a bit of "candied violet" over that elf Waterproof eyeliner in "purple". 

I used a combination of "milk chocolate" & "cherry cordial" on the crease. 

I then used "white chocolate" on the brow bone. 

I used a combination of "triple fudge" and "semi-sweet: to fill in my eyebrows. "Triple fudge" is very cool toned where "semi-sweet" is a bit more reddish. My hair is a red-brown color so this combination works for me. 

I used my Pacifica Devocean... Lipstick in "tenderness". I also got this in a Petit Vour Box. It's really awesome. It's not too shinny but does not dry out my lips. Plus the color is a perfect pink-nude on me. I have really been enjoying it! 

Finally I used the EveryDay Minerals blush in "All Smiles". I talked more about this blush in my December Petit Vour  Box. 

Well, that's it! I hope you liked the look I came up with. I hope this inspires you to use what you already have. I don't like being wasteful with my money and so I'm so excited to start this series. I'm sure it will be lots of fun. 

Lots of Love,

Camila

elf Haul || New Products

Hey guys! 

I'm really excited to be back with a big elf Haul. I always find myself browsing the elf site, they have wonderful new products all the time. I usually wait until there is at least 10 products I want to try to order. The main reason is because it usually takes FOREVER for the products to arrive. Last time I placed an order it took like a month. This time I was pleasantly surprised to find my products at my door step 8-days after I placed my order. WHAT!?

Everything arrived in mint condition. The only problem I had was that they shipped me one wrong product. However, I emailed them and they apologized and have already shipped me the correct product. Their customer service is amazing!

1. elf Blush Palette in "Light":

Ahh, so excited to have my hands on this guy. I am a HUGE fan of elf's blushes and I knew these would be amazing. The texture is very smooth and fine. They are really wonderfully pigmented. There seems to be little to no fall-out. 

2. elf Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow

OH MY LANTA! These are soo great. I've actually already worn "toast" & golly! The texture is buttery and almost bouncy. So beautiful! If you like glittery shadows consider these next time you're at Target or on elf's site. "Toast" is the perfect Christmas gold! 

"toast"

"soiree"

toast, soiree

"in direct sunlight"

3. elf Waterproof Shadow Liner(s)

I've been looking for liners to replace my NYX liners. (NYX has been bought by L'oreal and I will no longer support them). These intrigued me as I think they might work as liners and bases for eyeshadow. I've loved them swatched but haven't actually worn them. Beautiful colors,  I'm so impressed! 

(left to right) Black, Brown, Blush, & Purple 

(left to right) Black, Brown, Blush, & Purple 

4. elf Matte Lip Color (s)

I have the shade "Rich Red" and it's my favorite red color. I got "tea rose" and "praline". I love love love love mattes lippies and these are one of my favorite formulas. 

"tea rose", "praline' 

Top: Praline

Bottom: Tea Rose 

Like I mentioned I ordered the e.l.f. Essential 18 Piece Eyeshadow Palette but it didn't arrive. I'm so excited to also share with you swatches of it once it arrives. 

Also, I'm going to film my thoughts of my October Petit Vour box and products I liked from my September box. So keep an eye out for that! 

Farewell for now lovelies. <3

Lots of Love,

Camila
