TIP TUESDAY IS BACK! #15

TIP TUESDAY IS BACK!

When it is time to sharpen those pencil eyeliners or eyebrow pencils, put them in the freezer for a few hours. When you go to sharpen then this will keep them from breaking off.

Try it and leave me a comment on how it worked for you.

February Favorites

I just wanted to share a few new things I have been reaching for in the month of Feburary.

Milani Baked Powder Blush in Delizioso Pink
- This is a blue based bubblegum pink blush. I find this is perfect for my fair skin because I can build it up or town it down depending on where I'm going or what I am doing. I have been wearing it most days and I'm loving it.





Becca Shimmer Skin Pefector in Moonstone
-If you are looking for a BOLD highlight this is it! I light dab in the product gives an amazing glow to the tops of your cheeks. A little goes a long way so this products last for ages.



NARS Bronzer in Laguna
- This bronzer is just the perfect light bronzer. I use it to add just a little definition to my checks, the hairline, and the jaw line. For me a little goes a long way.



Sephora 4 Shadows and Liner Palette for Brown Eyes
- At first I was a little disappointed with the quality of these eye shadows but I've found that if I build these up a bit they look pretty good. I have been using Caroline's Pride the most. I have used it in my crease or lower lash line to give a subtle purple to the look.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics
- I had been avoiding Urban Decay eye shadows for a long time thinking they can't be as good as everyone says they are. Well than I got a Urban Decay quad as a 500 point perk from Sephora and I thought I would give them a try. Well I loved them. So last time I was at Sephora I picked up the Naked 2 Basics and I have not been disappointed. First thing you need to know these are a bit powdery but still creamy. Second they are perfect for blending out. Third I have used this everyday since I picked it up. It is great on its own and paired with other shadow/palettes.
