Green/Blue and Purple Eyes using MAC (Another Summer Look)

Hey glam dolls!

Today I'm doing a look that is very similar to the Green and Purple Eyes using MAC Look. Today's is slightly different, I'm using different eyeshadows but I'm using the same colour families. I decided to change up the look so that it is different than the last one.



Again, I do feel like a mermaid wearing this, but this is the kind of look you can only pull off well in the summer. For this look, I'm using MAC Aquadisiac, MAC Beautiful Iris, and MAC Phloof!. Instead of wearing a pink-blue lipstick, like I did in the last look, I'm using a pink-yellow lipstick for a change, and it's also very summery. I'm wearing Benefit Bella Bamba and the new Too Faced Pink Leopard. I know these are my usual go-to makeup products, but I'm still experimenting with the new Too Faced Pink Leopard, which is wayy different than the previous one. And besides, this looks awesome with the look. You can always wear what I wore on the face in the previous look, MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet So Easy would also go very well with this look. I'll leave a link of the 1st Summery Look at the bottom of the page.



In totally not related news, I was comparing some of my other products to the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette and I've found a lot of dupes. I'm going to swatch them later to see how they actually look on the skin. If I get a lot of colours, I might either do a separate post if I have enough, or just include this in my next Look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette.

And that's the look! Another summer look for you to try. Honestly, in what other season can you wear bright pastely colors like that? The green always makes me think of mermaids and much more so with the purple and pink lipstick. I think it's very fun, young, and fresh. It's definitely an eye-opener and you'll definitely have people looking back at you for a double-take.



So do you prefer this look or the previous one? Let me know what you think!! I like both, but I've been having a mad crush on Steamy lately. I used to love Aquadisiac but Steamy is stealing away that spot in my heart lol. Honestly, both are fabulous colors.




Did you like the eyes and the colors I used? Did you think the blush, bronzer and lipstick shades added to the look? Or would you have preferred if I used the same products from the other summer look? Do let me know what you think.

Sexy Smokey Boudoir Eyes using Too Faced Boudoir Eyes

Hey glamour dolls!!

Today I'm doing a Sexy Smokey Boudoir Eye look using Too Faced's Boudoir Eyes palette. I saw this look on Maryam Maquillage's website and I really really loved what she did using this palette. I would have never thought to use 7 different eyeshadows for one look, and her look was so beautiful and perfect that I just had to try it myself and show you how you can do it too. I find when I use the Glamour Guides and I do the looks using the 3 eyeshadows in a row, I find a have a harder time thinking outside the box and figuring out how I can use a palette and mix all the eyeshadows together into a new look. Maryam's look is just sooo gorgeous and really inspires me to start thinking outside the box more. Especially with this palette, you're totally able to create a new look, whereas with the Smokey Eye palette, you're pretty much limited to your browns, blacks, and purples. It's harder to mix and match when the looks are so different. But with the Boudoir Eyes palette, the eyeshadows in all the looks can definitely be rearranged to form a new look.



So my look turned out to be its own thing. I find in Maryam's look, the colors are extremely well blended and I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing. It already took me quite a while to just do what I did. Not to mention you're using 7 eyeshadows. 7!! I decided to use the new Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer and test it out. I wore it with Benefit Bella Bamba because I usually wear this blush all the time, so it would help me determine how I liked the bronzer, and the differences and all that. And for a change, I opted for NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet.



So I want to note again that from now on, I am using the NEW Too Faced Pink Leopard Blushing Bronzer. So far, I noticed that it is a lot lighter than its predecessor. I would call it more of a brightening bronzer than blushing, the pink is not half as deep as the previous one. I find the new one reminds me of Snow Leopard. I do think I prefer the old one, but old habits do die hard. I'm going to test it out for a few more days and I'll eventually write a comparison between the two. I would very much like to know what your preference is, so be sure to leave a comment at the bottom. Old Pink Leopard or New Pink Leopard??

The "Margarita" Look from Too Faced Loves Sephora palette

Hello everyone!

I have 9 empties and I'm so excited because this means I'm so close to posting my Empties & Extras post that I've been working on for a long time now. I want to have at least 10 empties so it has enough content. Obviously it can't be a monthly thing, but every time I finish 10 products I will do a post.

Today I'm doing the "Margarita" look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette. As I've said before a million times, the palette comes with 10 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 2 bronzers, a mini shadow insurance, and a flatbuki brush. It also comes with a Glamour Guide that contains 15 looks. Why 15? Because it is a celebration of Too Faced and Sephora's 15 years of working together from the beginning and it is also Too Faced's 15th Birthday!! And with that comes this special limited edition palette that is exclusive to Sephora, meaning you won't find this on Too Faced's website.



Again, I will leave a link to my palette review, and all the looks I've done so far using this palette.

In my opinion, this look is extremely simple and doesn't require much time. You put TF <3's The Cast all over your lid and up into your crease and you line your upper and lower lashes with Envy and smoke the top out with Perfect Eyes in Perfect Black. Add some mascara, and voila! Fini. This is perfect for a woman on the go but still wants to have a beautiful and glamorous look. Just add some blush, bronzer, and lipgloss and you're all set for a night on the town! This look is definitely more of a night time look because of the extremely sparkly TF <3's The Cast eyeshadow. While the blush is not part of the Glamour Guide, I feel like I can't just wear bronzer, I need that added pink and this blush is beautiful. It does remind me a lot of Benefit's Bella Bamba, I'll have to swatch the two and compare them one day.



Also, ignore the random eyelash that's floating around in my eye lol.

And that's the look!! I hope you enjoyed it. I really liked this one and thought it turned out really well. Obviously all the looks won't be for everyone but you're sure to find your favorite few. This one is very simple and great for the gal on the go.



So tell me, what did you think of this look? Would you wear this on a night out? Are you planning on buying the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette? What is your favorite eyeshadow from the palette? And which is your favorite bronzer, Sun Bunny or Chocolate Soleil? What is your favorite bronzer out of all the Too Faced bronzers? Did you like the lip gloss, Barely Legal?

Please leave me your comments and let me know if you have any Fashion Friday ideas, or just any idea on anything, really.
