How To-sday: How to Get The London Look

Sooo Influenster has challenged me to create a "London Look" using the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer... And I'm gonna go ahead and actually use mostly Rimmel products for this look! This isn't really going to be a huge "whole face of make up" look because I'm going with a bolder lip, but I still think it's a cool trendy somewhat London-ish look.

I was actually thinking of doing a smokey eye with really bright lips and cheeks because I've been to London and in the summer at least they had a lot of overcast grey skies, but it pretty much always got really nice and pretty at some point during the day. I like that idea a lot still, but in the spring... It's allergy season, and  sometimes it's nice to take a break from using a lot of shadows and just do very minimum eye make up.

So first off, I'm going to prime my face. I'm using the Maybeline Baby skin because I don't have any Rimmel primers, but I have heard great things about all the primers that they have and they are super affordable... So I'm sure I will try on in the not so distant future.

And then I'm going to use the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation of corse. I really love everything about this foundation. It gives a really nice coverage, it isn't too cakey looking, and it's very longwearing. It is obviously a matte foundation, but it doesn't cling to my dry patches like a lot of mattifying foundations. I really like it. It just gives a nice flawless finish.

Then I'm going to put on my Maybeline Master Glaze Blush in the color Coral Sheen. I know Rimmel just came out with a new blush called their Stay Flushed blush that I really have been dying to get my hands on... But sadly I cannot find it ANYWHERE! I've been checking Wall Mart on line to see what stores have it and none of the regular stores I go to have it. I haven't seen it at any other drugstore and I really want to try it. It's the same liquid mousse texture of the foundation, but it's supposed to give a kind of sheer wash of color, which I like. I don't want anything too heavy since I'm still not a blush expert. This Master Glaze is a cream blush that I thought would be the most similar to the stay blushed. It's easy to apply and the color is pretty and summery. And again, I think the stay blushed has a similar color which I really want to try to compare the two. That'd be a fun blog.

I'm not going to use any eyeshadow here, but I do happen to like the Rimmel Scamdaleyes Kohl Kajal pencils... so I'm going to use a couple of those. On my upper lash line I'm going to use the shade Dark blue and on my waterline I'm going to use the shade nude. I've heard everyone talk about these on YouTube... They are seriously amazing. So creamy and when they say waterproof they are not joking! These guys are longlasting, which amazes me becaus they are still so very creamy. I've never met a long lasting pencil liner that's been that creamy. Seriously can't believe I'm just now trying these!

And for the lips I promised you bold and there is nothing quite as bold as the Rimmel Show Off lip lacquers. I have the shade aura and I've been a little scared to wear it because it is such a bold color... But it's a nice pink, it's springtime I feel like I can rock this. These have amazing color payoff and the scent is really nice too, it smells like strawberry banana. I didn't love the scent at first, but it grows on you. It's not bad but it isn't trying to hard to mask a bad scent or something that makes me suspicious. I like it a lot!

So yeah that is it. I always wanted to do a one brand tutorial, but I don't really want to go out and spend the money on something I already have in the name of just sticking to one brand. I also think it's fun to just say what I want from the brand and stuff like that... So yeah I thought that was fun. There will probably be more of these sometime in the future, so look out for that!

I also want to mention that this look is soo soo easy because there is no eyeshadow or anything like that, but it still looks like you put in some effort with the look because of the bright eyeliner and bold lip. It also brightens up your face a lot... I know this picture still makes it look like I got no sleep last night, because I really didn't get sleep last night and no amount of make up can cover it up... but it may not be quite as noticeable to everyone.

Byeeeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
