Everyday Makeup Routine. WARNING, IMAGE HEAVY! :)

As promised, here's my everyday makeup routine... :)

This is without doing like major eyeshadow or anything, if I do wear eyeshadow, I will put on eyeliner and such, but if i'm in a hurry then this is what I do...Enjoy! :)

1. UNO- Apply chapstick before starting! :)

2. DOS- I take the lightest white matte cream shadow from my Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows palette in Not Just Nudes and apply it under my eyes as a concealer/brightener! :)

3. TRES- I take my Wet N' Wild Ultimate Mineral Foundation in Fair with my Elf Studio Powder Brush and apply it under my eyes to set the cream. :)

4. CUATRO- I take my NYC Matte Bronzer in Sunny with my Elf Studio Powder Brush (I use this brush for EVERYTHING!) and apply it on my cheekbones to contour. :)

5. CINCO- I apply my Maybelline Mineral Power Blush in Gentle Pink to the apples of my cheeks and bring it upwards toward my hair line with my Elf Studio Powder Brush  (told ya!).

6. SEIS- I take the light shimmery champagne cream shadow in my Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow palette in Not Just Nudes. And apply it all over my lids with my finger.

7. SIETE- Then I apply Model Co. Shadow in Antiqua all over my lids and up to my brow bone to set the cream shadow.

8. OCHO- Then I curl my lashes with my NYC Eyelash Curler, trust me...curling your lashes makes all the difference! :)

9. NUEVE- Then I apply Wet N' Wild Mega Protein Mascara in Black to my freshly curled lashes. :)

10. DIEZ- Then I apply whatever lip product that I'm wearing that day, today it was Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Born With It. :)

AND YOU'RE DONE! :))

So....yeah, nothing really special there, but it gets the job done, hope this helps and hope you liked it. :)

Love & Peace,

yourpoindexterkid.

Makeup Collection...Finally! :)

So...I've finally gotten around to doing a makeup collection post...yay! I've reorganized my room, taking out the original black desk organizer that held my makeup...it was getting to be too small...haha. So, yeah. Where I live we've been getting blizzards and snow like crazy. This entire week...Sunday through Saturday...we only went one day, and it was a 2 hour delay. So, yeah...i'm probably going to be stuck in my house for the next few days. I figured I'd make this post, so enough blabbering...let's get started. :)
Oh yeah...and anything with a "♥" beside it in parentheses means it is a favorite of mine. :)

Here's where I keep all my makeup:

I dunno where I got it from, because it's pretty old...but yeah. :)
On top, I have my skincare, most worn nail polish, tweezers, eyelash curler, makeup brushes (which i'm not going to go into detail about), and phone.

Then comes the first drawer, which is where I keep all my makeup.

January Favorites. :)

Finally a favorites post! I'm on a roll today with posts! Haha, anyways...my first favorites post. I have a lot this month but that's okay.... :)
 So, I'm just going to get started.
The first category is just nails...
Only one product for nails, and that's my Sinful Colors Professional Nail Polish in Vacation Time. This nail polish does chip horribly....but this color is so cute that I don't even really care. It's like a pinky neutral color. Very pretty! :)

Next category is Eyes! :)

This category I picked out 4 products...
The first product is Loreal HIP Cream Shadow Paint in Secretive. I love this because it's a really nice base over primer. It's a really soft creamy skintone color with slight shimmer.
Then there's the Wet N' Wild Mega Protein Mascara in Black. It's really cheap and really black! It really darkens my lashes, which is one of my biggest things. I usually use it with another mascara.
Then there's the Maybelline Chai Latte Quad. I use this just about everyday unless I want to do a special look. It's shadows are all really soft and pigmented, so definitely recommended! (Swatches below)

Then there's my Wet N' Wild Cream Liner in Black! I bought this a while back....but I only used it once and hated it. Well as of recently I ran out of my favorite liquid liner and I was sort of forced to use this one. I used it though and immediately fell in love! I use it with a angled liner brush and it goes on really nicely. It gives me the liner look I like but also looks natural.
Next category is Lips! :)
Quite a few products for this one, so I'm not going to do reviews, I'm just going to tell you the colors.

From left to right, there's:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude

MAC Lipstick in Warm Me Up (from the Warm & Cozy collection, it's an amplified creme)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushed

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Airy Fairy

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Birthday Suit

Here are swatches in the same order:

 Revlon Nude Attitude is just a nude color similiar to MAC Myth Lipstick but with more pinky peachy undertones.

MAC Warm Me Up Lipstick is a really nice neutral pink color that's VERY pigmented considering it's an amplified cream.

Revlon Blushed is just a really nice fall color it's a very rich burgundy color but is like a MLBB (my lips but better) shade with shimmer.

Rimmel London Airy Fairy is a very cool undertoned mauve, it's definitely more purple than pink.

Rimmel London Birthday Suit is a sort of shimmery nude with more beige orangey peachy undertones.

The next category is...Face!

 For this I just have Wet N' Wild Ultimate Mineral Powder Foundation in Fair, Benefit High Beam, and Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous Foundation Faker in Light.

I love all the products and the foundation faker from Benefit is definitely something that I will buy again. This was in a $10 set from Sephora (that you can see in an earlier haul) but I am planning on buying the full size when I run out of this travel size, which is about $24, but I'm definitely willing to pay that.

The next category is Miscellaneous! :)

 For this I chose the Elf Eyebrow Kit in Light and my new Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen.

I was supposed to do an Elf haul but I never got around to it (I might do one big Elf review soon). I love this eyebrow kit though, It comes with a pigmented wax to shape and define brows and a light powder to set eyebrows. I got this in light because my eyebrows are currently pretty light, but I might have to buy one in dark pretty soon because I'm going to be dying my hair a really dark 'almost black' brown.

The makeup eraser pen from Revlon was on sale when I got it and is usually around $8.00, I paid around $2.00 for mine. I would definitely pay full price though! I'll definitely be doing a review on this soon.

 

The next category is brushes....:)

I only have 3 brushes for this, all Elf (also from my big Elf purchase, that I should have done a haul on).

I love the Elf Studio Powder Brush, it's flat top and I have one for liquids and one for powder. It's sooooooooooooooo soft. If you can...get one...or better yet...like me...get two! Before the take them off! They are part of a studio line which right now is permanent but I'm not taking any chances, when I get some extra money I might just buy 2 back ups...I mean...they're only $3.00 each!

Then there's the Elf Blending Brush which is actually part of their regular $1.00 line. If I get more studio powder brushes then I'm definitely going to pick up a few more of these too! Love it!

Last thing wins my Holy Grail Product of the Month Award!

The Jheri Redding One N' Only Thermal Ionic Permanent Straightener! I bought this in the end of December and did it at home. It's basically a thermal permanent straightner, also known as Ionic straighteners, thermal reconstructing, thermal reconditioning, and japanese straightening. I know they are supposed to be done at salons but I would have had to pay around $400 to $1000 dollars depending on the salon to get it done....

I did it for.....

$26 dollars! :))

I used to take me around 40 minutes to a hour to completely straighten my hair (I have naturally coarse frizzy curly hair) from when I jumped out of the shower and it was such a hassle.

Now it only takes me around 15-20 minutes to do my hair...blow drying and all.

It didn't damage my hair at all and my hair is even like not frizzy when I let it air dry.

When It air drys it's just a little sorta frizzy with waves in it. But still pretty great if I just wanted to run out of the house to pick up some makeup or go to the grocery store or something. So yeah! If you have really curly unmanageable hair then check it out...I got mine online from:

http://www.sleekhair.com/

Anyways that's it, sorry for the extra long post!

January favorites, Over & Out.

Sincerely,

yourpoindexterkid.

haul and major update! it's christmas time in the city. (extremely long post) :)

Hey guys! So, It's winter break from school!...thank goodness, i've had to write so many essays recently, I thought I was going to die...haha. But, it is winter break now, so we don't go back until January 5th. Anyways, this post is like the smallest haul ever (basically little Christmas presents from my best friends...some of it isn't even makeup related). But, before that I basically wanna update you guys on what's going on and what's going to be going on. As I said before, we just got out for winter break and the day we got out it started snowing like crazy, we got 2 feet of snow! It's not even fun....people got stuck on the roads and such. So, we've been working like crazy to get it out of the roads and our drive way and sidewalk. our yard is untouched though, so one it melts we'll have another thing to deal with. So, I'm not really going anywhere till' Christmas because of that.
Anyways, I've really been planning out what I want to get with the money that i'm recieving from family for Christmas. I'm planning on getting japanese thermal straightening done on my hair (because if you didn't know, my hair is naturally curly, and i'm hoping to do the Bio-Ionic hair system straightening. So, i'm getting that done and then I'm buying hair extensions! Yayyy!
I'm getting my hair extensions from a UK seller named foxylocksextensions. I'm getting them off their website and they're about 50 pounds which translates to roughly 90 dollars USD including shipping over seas. I've heard extremely good reviews on them and the seller gives returns and such incase something's wrong with them. They're remy human hair, 120 grams, 20 inches (WOAH!), and they are 10 pieces which is most than I can say for other brands, I researched like crazy trying to find the perfect ones. Anyways, i'm getting them in darkest brown or chocolate brown for my hair, so i'm excited bout' that.
Then i'm getting about 216 swarovski crystal rhinestones in rose, 16ss size and a pink hard phone case for my samsung instinct and i'm going to put some crystals on it so that I can have a super cute cell phone! :)
I'm going to then pick up some Elf products from the website and such.
A week after Christmas I'm planning on going shopping with some of my best friends and getting lunch with them. So, i'll hopefully get some stuff from Sephora (because we got one in our mall a few months back and i've yet to buy anything there!) and some clothes. So, ya'll should be expecting some major haulness and reviews in about 2 weeks.
So...enough blabbering! I got this stuff from CVS when I went to dinner with friends, onto my small mini (almost non-makeup related) haul!
Here's the makeup items first!

yeah...see? pathetic little non-makeup buying slob i am. :)

So basically i've picked up 2 nail polishes. I got a petites crystal clear nail polish because i needed a new top coat (which i love because it makes my nails so shiny!). I also got a Sinful Colors Professional polish in Rich in Heart. Which you can see below:

So...this bottle...LIES! In the photo above you can see this really beautiful dark ruby color with red shimmer sparkles in it, which is why I got it (because i thought it would be a lovely unique christmas color), but truth is...this color and product is horrible! The color comes off on my nails as a musky brown color with slight red tint to it (when i like turn my nail sideways!) and the product was chipping like crazy even with the top coat on it! So, as for the product I might buy it again because the color came off pigmented and except for the chipping it was nice and smooth and for 1.99 at CVS it was great. They also had a really nice color selection!
...another item that I got is actually a present for my best friend named Alexis. We've been friends for all my life (since I started kindergarten actually!). I made her gift and we've yet to exchange them, but i'm going to give hers to her when she gives me mine...haha. Here it is!

So, you can't really see the colors there, but it's a really pretty periwinkle blue color for most of it. So, basically I was inspired by Enkore and all the other makeup gurus on youtube. It's a brush holder because she has loads of nice MAC brushes and has to keep them in a toothbrush holder because she never found a brush holder. So, I basically went to Micheals and got a glass vase for $10, big blue fillers for $5, small clear fillers for $4, and some really thick pretty blue antique looking ribbon for $2. So all together I paid about 20 dollars for everything, then i went home and layered the beads then added the ribbon and a bow (which i have yet to glue on...hence why i'm holding it up to it in the photo). Anyways, I was going to put some other items up, but I might just make a seperate post tomorrow for them. So I hope you enjoyed this post....and i'll see you guys later!
update and haul, over & out.

sincerely,

yourpoindexterkid.
