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.

P.S Here are two more Selfies just cause I'm bad at including pics in this blog and its helpful to see multiples!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
