FOTD: 2 looks using the Sailor Moon x ColourPop eyeshadows



Hey there dollies!
I barely wear makeup these days but I thought it'd be fun to play with it a little and create 2 different looks using some these eyeshadows.
My makeup is never too dramatic, I try to keep things light and pretty, hehe. I tried to choose the shades I wouldn't normally go for, whch are mostly bright pink, yellow and orange. I'll list the rest of the products I used for each look.




If you want to read more about this palette, click here! There's a separate post dedicated to it with swatches and all that fun stuff.

Look #1


This first look is pretty natural even tho I used some bright colors on the eyes. That's why I wanted to keep the rest of it kinda neutral.

For the eyes I used "Justice" as a base and "Love" on the outer corner of the eye. And I applied some "Silver Miracle" to the lower eyelid to add a pop of shimmer. 
I have to say I love the shimmers in this palette.



Sadly, my camera barely catches the shimmers. 


Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:



☆ Miniso Mini Pony Shell Makeup Base #02 Pink
☆ Mary Kay At Play Matte Liquid Makeup "Very light"
☆ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"
☆ Essence Velvet Matt Lipstick #23
☆ MAC Powder Blush "Flower"
☆ L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara "Black 373"
☆ Avon Super Definition Liquid Eyeliner "Black"
☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"
☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

Look #2


Even tho this look and the first one look pretty similar, the shades I used are completely different. I applied "Moon Castle" as a base, "Tuxedo Rose" on the outer corner to give it a pop of color and "Mare Serenitatis" in the lower eyelid.





Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:


☆ MAC Studio Match Master Foundation SPF15 "NC25"
☆ Essence I ♡ Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara
☆ L.O.C.K. Color Lock n' Tap Cushion Blush "1 Coral Pink"
☆ Revlon Photo ready Rose Glow Primer
☆ Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick "875 Vivid Rose"
☆ NYX Eyebrow pencil "EP01 Light brown"
☆ Mary Kay liquid eyeliner "black"
☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"
☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

I've tried the other colors before because I do feel comfortable wearing gold and purple on my eyes. Let me know if you'd like to see some looks with those too.

Makeup Haul!



Hello dollies!

I have a little makeup haul for you today. I know, I feel like I've making hauls too often but, there's a lot I wanna share! And when it comes to makeup, I get too excited, hehe.

Some of the products were gifts from Omma and I bought the others. I'll start with the gifts.

♥ NYX Eyebrow Pencil in Light Brown (EP01) the color is pefect for my ginger brows!
Check out my latest "How I do my "Carrot" brows" for more deets on this brow pencil.




♥ Beauty Paris Nail Polish "Party" I'm really looking forward to usit for the holiday season. It is a very pretty red color. This one is from Spain.


♥ Kim Taylor Nail Polish "Sangria" (KT.103) which is a super pretty strawberry-ish deep color.



Now, here is what I bought in the past few days:

♥ Maybelline New York Color Show Nail Polish "Vintage Leather" I really liked the color cuz I thought it'd be great for the fall season. It has a leather-ish finish, it's super matte but sadly the durability is NOT good. My nails chapped the same day I applied it, I had to put SO many coats to keep them decent.
More on this nail polish? Vintage Leather


♥ Revlon Color Bust Lip Gloss in "Sunbaked" (044) I'm not a gloss lover but I really liked the color and thought it would be good for the fall season. I've been more into natural colors for my everyday makeup lately so, yeah. Not loving it tho!






♥ CoverGirl lipstick "Sultry Sensuelle" (200) this lipstick and the lip gloss look pretty similar. I actually wear them together sometimes. The thing I didn't liked about this one is that it dries my lips SO much, even when I wear chapstick before applying it.





Not happy with this lipstick...

I don't buy Maybelline or CoverGirl that often and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed with what I bought... Oh well~

I should stop buying stuff for now...at least for me! Gotta focus on my Christmas gift shopping! Would you like to see a Christmas shopping haul?? Let me know!

How I do my "carrot" brows



Hello babies!
I know I just posted an update on how I used to do my brows a while ago but since I am embracing my readhead-ness again, I had to find a new way to fill them in and make them match my hair. I already have orange brows but I still want them to look fuller and slightly thicker.

My mom just gave me the NYX Eyebrow Pencil in Light Brown (EP01) which is a very soft brown with an orange-ish tone to it that matches my hair perfectly! I also like the fact that it has a brush on one side of the pencil and the color on the other one.
The color is very long lasting and since the tip of the pencil is thin, it's very easy to work with while filling the brows.





I'm super duper happy with this pencil! Honestly, it is my first time using this brand but I highly recommend this pencil to my fellow redheads who want to fill their brows in a very natural way.

Along with this pencil, I'm still using the Kiotis brow gel to keep my brows in place for longer time.

RANDOM NOTE: "My carrot brows" LOL. My mom and I decided to call them like that since she calls me "carrot" because of my orange hair. hehe.
