Christmas Conundrums 2015: Pt 2 - Elfing About?

Hey Gorgeous People,

I decided to do a Christmas-y/Elf type makeup just for the fun of it!

And here it is!

So the products above are what I used for my face base:
1. e.l.f Tone Adjusting Primer
2. Maybelline FitMe Foundation 115
3. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
4. e.l.f High Shimmer Powder
5. Savvy Pressed Powder
6. Brushes -> Real Techniques (buff, contour, foundation, detailer), beauty blender, ecotools blush and powder, and e.l.f powder puff.

Above is then the process of baking my face! This is done after your foundation and you apply highlighter or a light concealer in a triangle beneath your eyes, in a triangle on your forehead, on your chin, and a thin line down your nose. You then apply generous amounts of loose powder (very light) on these areas and let it "bake" for around 10 minutes. You then lightly brush, in short quick strokes, the powder away.     

                

    

                               

For my eyebrows, I used my e.l.f concealer brush (I only ever use it for my eyebrows) and the chocolate matte Maybelline eyeshadow.
For my eyes, I did a smokey eye using the green Maybelline New York palette above, blending it up to my brow bone and highlighting the inner corner of eye. I used sticky tape to create a sharp definition and to make the winged eyeliner so much easier to apply! After removing the tape you will need to gently apply more powder to your face as it can pull away your makeup.

Finally, for my lips I used a simple red lip gloss/stain from my Andy Warhol palette! And the look is complete!

 Thank you all so much for your support throughout the year and I hope you have a very merry Christmas/Hanukkah/End Of Years/whatever you celebrate!

Christmas Conundrums 2015: Pt 1 - Product Review

Hey Gorgeous People,

I am so sorry for the hiatus but I am back and ready to roll!!

Seeing as its Christmas I thought I might do some Christmas themed posts for y'all starting with some early presents that I bought myself!!

1. Real Techniques Brush Set w/ Case

I have heard wonderful things about this brand of makeup brushes and they did not disappoint!! They are so soft and create a truly flawless finish. The foundation brush also doesn't leave my foundation streaky which was a problem with my e.l.f brush as my old brush just was a bit too stiff but the Real Techniques Foundation Brush just creates a airbrush effect and I love it! I got this set on sale for only $38 so I thought it was a bargain after seeing what that they are priced as around $20 a brush usually.

 2. e.l.f Tone Adjusting Face Primer

Compared to my previous primer, this primer is so amazing! It applies really smoothly and easily and really holds the makeup and keeps it from slipping off my face. However, I don't think my face is excessively red and the only real redness is from blemishes, and it just didn't reduce the redness as much as I would have liked but all-in-all it is a wonderful product and I am so proud of it.

3. Beauty Blender

What else can I say about this product other than it blends really well and does its job! I love the colour of it as well and I can't wait to use it more often!

You will definitely see all these products in upcoming makeup posts so keep your eyes peeled and tell me what early Christmas presents you bought yourself in the comment section below!
