How To-sday: How to wear Mint Green Eyeliner.




Heyy guys, so I recently got Stila's Mint Julep Smudgestick eyeliner, and I wasn't quite sure what type of eye look to pair it with. I thought that this eye look would be nice and neutral in order for the eyeliner to pop more. I also did a more glowy skin look because that's what I've been digging lately. This has sort of been my go-to look for a little while, so sometimes I switch up the face products, I'm using some new stuff here and I really love the way it turned out.

So first on the face I used Benefit's Porefessional Primer. This was my first time using it and I really liked it. I'll have a more in depth review soon. Then I used my Rimmel Stay Matte foundation. This is a mattifying foundation, but because of the liquid mousse texture, it works well with the glowy dewey skin look. I like it. I used some under my eyes to conceal a bit more too.

Then I took my Elf small stipple brush and my NYC Sunny Bronzer and I took that over the hollows of my cheek, my forehead and my neck a little. Just lightly bronzed and contoured my face. Then I applied my sephora Microsmooth duo blush in the shade Guava Glow to the apples of my cheeks. I liked the way this looks. This was the first time I used my Elf Small Stipple brush with my Bronzer... And it did a really good job. I liked it. Then I took a bit of the lightest shade in the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips and used that as a highlight. I also decided to go in with my Physicians formula Nude Wear concealer under my eyes.

Then I moved onto the eyes! I primed my eyes with Maybeline's color Tattoo in inked in pink. I like this because it makes my eyeshadow stay longer, plus it gives a rosey glow to my eyeshadow, so bonus. I used my Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette for the eyes. I realized this had greens in it. So it went kind of well with the green eyeliner. So I used the eyelid shade on the left side of the palette all over the lid and then I used the crease shade from that side in the crease. Usually I end there, but I decided to make this a little more golden and shiny, so I went back into the shimmer strips and swirled my accent brush from real techniques in and used that on the inner third of my eye. I also took the brow one shade from the right side of the palette and used that in the inner corner and a little bit onto the inner third of my eyelid.

Next I applied the star of the show: the Mint Julep Smudgestick under my eye.this is sooo easy to use it took like a second. It just glided right on. I also decided I wanted to line my upper lashline with a darker colorso I used a dark green crease shade from the right side of the comfort zone palette and did that.

After all that, I sprayed myself with the Nyx Dewey Finish setting spray and then did my mascara wi my favorite: the L'oreal butterfly mascara and used my Buxum lipgloss in the shade Shannon.

So that is it for my spring look. Hope you guys enjoyed it. It's neutral enough for everyday use, but different enough to catch attention. I love it!

Byeeeee!
-Shannon.

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
