I See The Light- Tangled Inspired Look (Halloween 2014 #1)

Pumpkins, cats, and leaves. It's October and almost Halloween! I decided to do a series of inspired looks leading up to the spooky night. On November 1st, I'm going to a Rocky Picture Live Show (which my friends and I do every year).

Needless to say, I love Disney. It's a problem. One of my favorite movies is Tangled, so I chose to do my makeup inspired by the colors in her dress.

EYES

• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk ($4.49) as a primer
• Oz: The Great and Powerful Urban Decay Glinda Palette (unfortunately not available anymore but I'm sure you can find similar colors)
• Outer Crease- Tornado (dark purple)
• Lid- Magic (pink with a golden shimmer)
• Inner Corner- Illusion (pale peach shimmer)
• Under Eye Liner- Oz (metallic gold)

• Sephora+Pantone Universe Precious Metals Shadow Palette (once again not available. Sorry!)
• I just used a couple of the medium-toned purples to blend the crease.
• The 88 Color Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette from BH Cosmetics has almost identical colors for a fraction of the price.

• Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara in Very Black ($5.39)
• e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner in Black ($1.00)
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Perversion ($20.00)
• NYX Wonder Pencil in Light ($4.49)

FACE

• NYX Incredible Water Proof Concealer in Porcelain ($4.99)
• Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation in Fair Honey ($36.00)
• NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium ($8.99)
• BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Maverick ($18.00)

Feel free to wear this to all of your upcoming Halloween parties or to dance around your room singing "I Have a Dream" (probably the second one).

Back With British Makeup

HELLO!

As no one probably noticed, I took a hiatus from blogging over the summer. I was working a full time job and really didn't wear makeup so I decided to take a break. At the beginning of the summer, my friend Sarah returned from a semester abroad in London with a few things from Boots. I was really excited to say the least.

Products

Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot- £12.00 ($19.32): This powder is wonderful. Translucent, mattifying, and trusty. TIP: Use a brush that's not too dense for the best results

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer- £10.00 ($16.10): Unfortunately, the latch on mine broke so I can't close it. The product comes with a yellow-toned concealer, a peach-toned concealer, and a powder. I really like it, but it's not as portable as a stick concealer.

Sleek MakeUp i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette- Oh So Special- £7.99 ($12.86): Sleek palettes are affordable, come in a variety of colors, and have great packaging. The eye shadows are good quality for the price.

 

Boots has free in-store pick up, so I ordered everything online and Sarah picked it up from her local store. Everything was 3-for-2 so it was a steal. I also got 3 Barry M nail paints that I'll write a separate post about!
