My Favorite Liquid Eyeliner !

Here lately, I've been doing winged eyeliner daily. I also take selfies while wearing this look & get a lot of comments on Instagram telling me it looks really good and asking what kind I use. Welp, here it is:

 Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner

I've only tried out a handful of liquid liners to be honest, but out of the ones I've tried - I love this one. I actually just love this one in general that I keep repurchasing it! It's anywhere from $6-8 I believe depending on where you purchase it at. The cheapest probably being Wal-Mart. It has a felt tip which I love. I hate the liners that have the crappy brushes - they are terrible to use in my opinion. This one however is very easy to apply.

Yay selfies! :D Haha I wanted to show you some pictures of me wearing the actual product. I personally love this liner & would recommend it! If you have any favorite liners, let me know!

Yay for personal blog posts! :D

I've been MIA lately. I've actually had a lot of personal stuff going on. I'm currently single. My past relationship that lasted three years was a complete joke. My computer also got struck by lightning so that helped the downfall. I actually even closed down my shop for a few weeks. I was shipping orders out later than I should have been so therefore I thought it'd be best for me to take a break & focus on myself. Good news, I got a new car! Bad news, I'm always broke now. Haha. But I've been better the past month & ready to get back into doing what I love! I need to do more blog posts, videos, stuff with my shop, etc. I also should probably finish makeup school, haha. I've been getting back into graphic design lately as well! I'm going to start doing logos, business cards, etc. for people & also going to be designing my own prints. I'm currently focusing on myself & doing things that I want to do in life. I've made a lot of new friends in the midst of all of this that have been here for me. So this summer has been kinda sucky at first, but it's gotten way better towards the end. I've actually been going out more and socializing as well. Which is odd for me, I never go out. Hermit for life. But I've had fun going out with friends and drinking and what not. That's also another reason I haven't been posting anything! I'm getting back into wanting to do more posts though. So expect that. I know I always say that in previous blog entries, but I mean it this time dammit. I want to do game reviews, book reviews, makeup reviews, show pictures of stuff I have for sale, show pictures of things I make, all kinds of goodness to come! 

Blah, this was an extremely long and boring blog post, I know. Just felt like I had to post something to let everyone know where I was.

DUPLE ALERT! Mac Beauty Marked Dupe

Hello again lovies! Sorry long time no talk. To be honest I haven't been into makeup/beauty items lately so that's why I have not posted in a while. But I have recently done a swatch comparison for you all!

Mac's Beauty Marked compared against Ulta's After Hours ES.

They are very similar in color. Mac's Beauty Marked is just a tad darker(blacker) than Ulta's After Hours. Personally I like Ulta's After Hours swatch better than Beauty Marked.

 

Mac's Beauty Marked = $15

Ulta's After Hours = $6

Also the Ulta brand eyeshadows are $2 each this month! So you can pick up this shade as well as others for super cheap! 

Sorry for not posting more for you guys. I am hopefully going to post more often. Just let me know what you guys are interested in seeing/reading about! :)

Platinum Blonde and Ombre Turquoise Hair

I dyed my hair about.. hmm 5-6 weeks ago? And I forgot to post pictures on here. I couldn't decide whether to dye my hair bright red (Ariel style) or very blonde with turquoise. Obviously (hence the title) I went with the blonde and blue. I got the stuff to do it myself and my friend DeOnna did it for me. I just thought I'd share with you what I used for my hair.

I got the following from Sallys:

Loreal Quick Blue Bleach (I got the HUGE tub of it)

Ion Sensitive Scalp 30 Developer 

and Beyond the Zone Turquoise dye (I forgot the name of it)

I really like the blonde in it -- but the turquoise I used didn't work the way I had planned. I wanted a bright turquoise color & it turned that uggie green color :P It still didn't look terrible -- I liked it -- just wasn't as bright and crazy as I wanted. It looked like I had went swimming in chlorinated water and only got half of my head wet :P lol

I tried to dye it turquoise a second time maybe 5 days later and it didn't really do anything. So I wouldn't recommend the Beyond The Zone brand if you want a bright color.

 Now the green has faded and it's just like a light brighter blonde on top & a sandy blonde on the bottom. I like it. I'm not sure if I want to leave it alone or if I want to do ombre bright red hair?! :D I kind of want to do the bottoms red. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know yet.

Oh I also wanted to share -- my hair isn't fried!! I was scared to bleach my hair because everyone complains that it fries their hair & blah blah blah. But my hair isn't dry to the touch or anything! Maybe because I don't use heat on my hair at all? I don't dry my hair & I couldn't tell you the last time I straightened it or curled it. I've also been using some great products! Maybe I'll share those in another post if interested.

Anywayyy - just thought I would share my somewhat new hair & what I used to get it the way it is! :)

Elf Essential Blush Swatches/Review in Glow & Coy

I've had these blushes since maybe -- June? I've been meaning to do a review/swatch post of them and just keep forgetting about it :(

Anyway - these are the new Elf Essential Blushes for $2 - not $1. They use to have these in a different compact (a shitty compact) for $1 and it didn't include a brush. They still have the same colors - I'm not too sure if they have updated the formula at all or not. I picked up the colors Coy & Glow.

I personally like these blushes. Sure, they are a bit 'chalky' but it's a blush for $2 -- what do you expect? They are actually really pigmented. Glow is such a pretty shimmery peach color and Oh my gawdddd - Coy is an AMAZING color! It's like a shimmery nude-taupe color? I can't really even describe what color it is - pictures cannot even do this color justice. It's a lovely and unique color. I'm not sure about the lasting power because the times I've worn these I haven't paid attention to see if they lasted all day or not. So I can't really say about that - but for $2 - I would say give these a shot!
