So I bought some new Stila makeup brushes. You get 5 brushes for $25.00. They're long handled brushes and I thought that was a great deal. Yes it is and NO it's so not worth it. If you LOVE STILA then by all means get them, that's a great deal on some brushes. So you get:
#2 Under Eye Concealer Brush
#4 Precision Eyeliner Brush
#9 All Over Blending Brush
#11 Face Concealer Brush
#24a Powder Brush
So the blending brush appears to be similar to the 224 believe me it's not unless mine was a defect which I doubt. The brushes are long and is not very dense. It feels like a painting brush. So does the precision eye liner brush. And it's pretty thick not thin enough to do some cat wing stuff. The powder brush and concealer brush are alright. I do really like the powder brush but I DO NOT like the quality of the bristles. They seem really cheap.
So on November 30 I went to the dermatologist for the first time in my life or at least that I can remember and the Doctor told me that a way that I can test my makeup to see if it's going to be good for me is to test the foundation on paper and if you see oil spreading around it then it's most likely oil based and not suitable for my skin. Of course you can also read the ingredients of the foundation or product and see it any of the first 5 products is WATER!
So I did my little experiment today and I will list which products are what. I did do this on paper used for printers (lol) and paper towels. Now the paper towels did not really show anything for the foundation but it did for the primers. But keep in mind that primers don't usually have color.
So here is the product listing: FOUNDATION EXPERIMENT
So this is an AWESOME everyday look. I am really impressed how well I did my eyes today. Sometimes I have days where I totally totally hate my makeup. Today is not really one of those days. Although I could do without the acne. But who wouldn't? Right? Anyways let's get to the products used:
-UDPP -MAC's paint pot in SOFT OCHRE -MAC's e/s in NAKED LUNCH -VICTORIA'S SECRET e/s in POSE -BARE MINERALS e/s in HONEY DIAMOND -BARE MINERALS e/s in COCOA DIAMOND -MAC's fluidline in BLACKTRACK -MAC's mascara in ZOOM LASH -BARE MINERALS all over face color in TROPICAL RADIANCE -MAC's blush in JOYOUS -MAC's slimshine in BARE
So I've seen that people have been doing this and I decided I should try to keep up with this too so I will do my best to post one everyday or at least when I have make up for that day.
Today is October 25, 2009 and it is Sunday.
So I the products I used are listed below:
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush cream shadow in blue MAC's starflash color in strike a pose (teal) MAC's Graphic Garden palette in the light blue color Light brown color in the 28 neutral palette from Coastal Scents Sparkly white color in the 28 neutral palette from Coastal Scents
I've bought a couple of their products and I really do like them. In fact the black eye liner I use everytime I wear makeup on my upper water line to make my lashes look darker and fuller.
Hi everyone and anyone who will be reading this. I really do not know what a blog is or should be. But I figure this could be a GREAT outlet for my feelings and opinions!
So today is one of my days off and yesterday was my day off as well and as usual I always try to make a makeup video (tutorial). And I did, so the past two day's I've been trying to upload it and in the process of uploading I just brows makeup websites such as Ulta, Sigma, Mac. You know, I look at the sites where I maybe making future purchases. My boy-friend thinks I am on the computer waayyyy tooooo much. And you know what maybe I am. But if the stupid ass comcast internet wasn't going in and out of the internet I probably wouldn't be on the computer for so long.
But anyway...I would love to know what you all think and stuff. If you get this same nagging from whoever. I would LOVE to hear from you.
Oh and if this is what a "blog" is supposed to be, PLEASE let me know that too....LOL.....
In the Life of....is a simple blog about what I feel, think and love about life, makeup, clothing and anything and everything else I want.
This is nothing special. I thought this is a good outlet for me to release some happiness and steam. When I am happy, sad, or angry.
I'm addicted to makeup and everything about it (right now anyways), I love digital art and currently am at a pause on that, I'm trying to find a better job. One with paid time off, but I'm most likely going to go back to school. I love fashion and anything to do with beauty!
