I did a sultry brown look because I was discussing with my best friend that I was bored and that I really wanted to go out, but didn’t have anywhere to go so instead I blog! I wanted to do a video originally, but I couldnt get the camera set up in a position where I could sit and you can see my whole head so maybe some other time…

Oh yeh, and I did a kinda tutorial too!

Products used:

Face
Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Medium Beige [not my shade but I just used it since I knew I would wash it off soon]

Fall FOTD and Tigi Review November 7, 2008

tigiNfotd 006

In the Fall I’m seeing a trend of deeper lip shades like plum, wine or deep red colors. I don’t really have any, but this looked dark on me [it looks deeper in person]. It’s NYX lip pencil in Iced Coffee which is supposed to be a nude but I was playing around with dark lipsticks last night and I guess when they mix together, it looks like this!

I used Adorned with Grace Captivating [chestnut brown] all over lid and AwG Pure [almost matte cream] as highlight and layered NYX Sahara as highlight too.

TiGi Fashionista Color Safe Conditioner
~ 12.99 for 8.5 oz

tigiNfotd 016

This was my first foray into higher end hair products, and it worked ok. Mostly I wanted something that was safe for color and would be good at detangling because my hair is really fine and long too so it turns into a birds nest sometimes! The Tigi conditioner was sufficient at detangling, but it didn’t seem to be extra moisturizing or anything like that.

I don’t know if i got a bad batch or something, but it’s supposed to be grape scented, but mine..it smells like rotten grapes! or something..it smells off, I don’t know how to describe it. Like grapes mixed with poo…I dont know.

And if that wasn’t enough, look what I found the after the first night of using it….

tigiNfotd 019

Part of the conditioner changed colors! To a yellowish brown…that part that is brown used to be at the very top and its now covered by some more regular colored conditioner. The only reason I could think of that it would change colors is because the first night I placed it on the window sill in the shower so maybe exposure to the sun changes it color? I don’t know…but I have to say I’m disappointed. I would think that they charge higher prices for a reason and that I would be gettin my money’s worth, but not with this. I wouldn’t repurchase. I would rate it a 1.5 out of 5.

Did anyone else experience this with Tigi Fashionista or any of their other products?

I did this look to submit to Temptalia’s smokey eye challenge. It was inspired by one of her looks, but I only used drugstore products. I love Temptalia! She’s very skilled at what she does, creative with her color combinations and presents it all in a professional aesthetic manner. She’s amazing!

Products used:
- UDPP
- Pantina Gel-liner in green [base]
- NYX Lime Green on inner 2/3 of lid
- L’oreal HIP Riotous dark green side on outer v, crease, lower lashline
- L’oreal HIP Flamboyant golden yellow above crease, inner tearduct
- Estee Lauder Neutral 6 as highlight
- Rimmel Underground Liquid Liner
- VS Beauty Rush lipgloss [a sheer peachy shade]

Red for the First Time! July 27, 2008

Filed under: Big Lots, FOTD, LOTD, NYX — nuts4makeup @ 6:47 pm
Tags:

I was always hesitant to try out red because it’s such a bold color and I didn’t want to buy a tube of red lipstick only to find out that I didn’t like it. But since getting the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Plush Red for about 39 cents at Big Lots, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try! I actually cheated because I was too lazy to remove the Milani Sherbet lip gloss that I had underneath so those two mixed together makes it a kinda coral-red. The NYX pencil on its own is deeper and more like a blue-red.

Please excuse the pimples and wrong shade of foundation haha.

I also used my NYX in lime green to help blend the dark and light green. I applied the HIP shadows with mixing medium.

I did a baby haul at Ulta yesterday using the BOGO free coupons. Let’s face it, all my hauls will be baby hauls cuz I’m a broke college student! But, I digress…

I finally got my hands on some L’oreal H.I.P. shadows! And NesssaryMakeup made me want some NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils

Riotus [L] and Flamboyant [R]. Ah they’re gorgeous!

I got this because Karen did a review of their shine conditioner and she liked it, and I’m easily persuaded by reviews haha. Plus it’s dirt cheap! Around 3 bucks for a bottle. I only tried them out once, so I don’t want to say yet if I like them or not, but I’ll do a proper review later.

All in all my haul cost me a whopping 11 bucks [gotta love coupons!], that’s kinda like paying 2 dollars an item…I just realized that now! Wow, I freaking love Ulta!!!

I’m looking forward to washing my face later on because today was HOT and I feel so gross. Pardon me while I try to find something interesting to blog about…
