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.

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
