I decided to put my impressions vanity to good use and do my makeup. Makeup is life, especially when you don’t feel so well. Do your makeup and I guarantee you will have a different outlook on any particular situation. So I thought why not record it. Once again excuse my lack of editing skills. I am getting better though for my second video :). Okay, so for this look the video is below as well.
Here are the products I used and my thoughts about them…
Brushes– MAC limited edition set – They are not the made in france brushes that MAC sells on a regular basis but the limited edition made in china. It came in a christmas set and they do a good job. It came with stippling brush, contour brush and shadow brushes.
For blending the shadow I used bareminerals soft focus blending brush. I have a MAC one but could not find it. It did a pretty good job but the MAC one is softer and glides better.
To apply the powder highlighter I used a sonia kashuk brush. I think I got it at target. It’s soft. I don’t use it often.
Foundation: I used Makeup Forever Ultra HD. In the old consistency I was 170, now it’s Y435. This new consistency I find it’s kind of too dry opposed to the other where the foundation just glided in my face.
Concealer: Mac studio fix in 142. An old one but a goodie. I was introduced to this when I was about 19 years old or even in my early twenties. I can’t remember but it was heaven I asked the makeup artist what he was using on me and I went and bought it the next day. That was my first introduction to MAC studio fix powder and cochleae for this i didn’t use the powder just the cocealer though.
EYES: Base- I went to a MAC seminar/makeup tutorial a while back and I was introduced to this base. the little tube I show is so faded that I can’t see the writing on it. I believe it might be discontinued and It worked so well in basically erasing the natural color of my lids so that the shadow can serve its purpose. For the Shadow I used the Urban decay Naked 3 Palette. I went for a soft smokey eye. For the outer corner I used Black Heart next, I used Buzz and Trick then I used strange for the inner corner from that palette.
For the Liner- I used Guerlain’s liquid liner in black. I have recently been using Stila’s liquid liner. The guerlain one is an old favorite of mine. An oldie, but a goodie as well I used the guerlain one just for the upper lid in the surrouding corners, I used the eye liner pencil for the lower lid from MAC in black.
Blush- I used a Mac peach color that I’ve had for ages and it never fails. It might be discontinued but they have a lot of similar colors this just really goes well with my complexion.
Now for the contour I am not an expert but I think it came out pretty well on the cheeks and face: I used Guerlain Terracota #2 and it gave me a nice bronzy look.
Contour on nose– I used Sephora’s limited edition kit that you see featured in the video. As you can see anything limited edition gives me an instant itch to purchase. That kit or palette contains shadows, blush, lip colors, and colors for brow and eyes. I used the dark brown color for the brows then blended it with Mac’s Soft Meow. I need to perfect the brows. Lipliner- I used Mac’s Stripped Down. I was using cork for a while on my lips but misplaced it and stripped down works well with pinky and peachy nudes as well.
Lipstick- I went for a nude lip. I used Pure Zen Mac’s Marilyn Monroe collection, limited edition. So nice, but it melted and so that’s why you see me using my fingers.
Highlighter- Benefit’s High beam, I haven’t used it in a while but it gives you a nice glow and I paired that with Nars Albetroz that I absolutely love. I used these two in my cheek bone area. for the nose i just used Albetroz.
Setting Powder- Now this is where my review takes a turn I used makeup forever HD setting powder and I found it took away my nice glow and made my skin a little ashy. It looks good on camera but I don’t know next time i will opt out from using that one.
Lashes- I used Koko Lashes, Misha. It was a mission to put these on but they give you a certain Je nais se quoi.
Okay, please check out my video below. Please like and subscribe. This post has got me wanting to go to mac and sephora now. Tootles… 🙂
Okay, I’ve been wanting to have my own YouTube channel for the longest time. I got really into watching YouTube videos to learn How-Tos and to get reviews on items I wanted to buy back in 2009. My first video has just been published. Please excuse my lack of editing experience.I might even redo this video at a later time but for now… it’s my first video! It’s about my designer handbag collection. I actually missed my Insolite wallet. I was so excited that i didn’t feature a handbag and two small leather goods from LV. I recorded it several times. My camera died, my son was still awake and then by the end of the video he got really sick. I then ended up getting sick that morning and i am still under the weather but since I had more energy today. I was able to edit it. I’ve never edited before and i noticed I cut myself off after I uploaded the video. Anyway, I will get better I promise. Please like and subscribe. I plan to feature hair products reviews, collections and Hauls/reviews.
Public Enemies is by far one of the best gangster movies that we have seen in Hollywood for a long time. This time we have a gangster movie that is not gender biased and is enjoyable by male and female. 
Red Wine is known to have great health benefits as long as one has moderation when consuming it. When consuming wine in moderation you are raising your “good cholesterol (Hdl-Cholesterol) and thinning your blood.”
