FOTD | Druid by Strobe Cosmetics

The past few days I've been playing my shadows that I purchased from Strobe Cosmetics, and posting photos of my makeup looks on my Instagram and Snapchat (if you don't follow me on snapchat- ashhsue  you should!). These shadows are all very colorful and aren't like any colors that I own! I've always wanted to be bold with colorful makeup, but it's definitely out of my comfort zone. I'm having a ton of fun with these though, and it makes me want to wear colorful makeup looks more!

I will be doing a full review on these shadows soon, and sharing more makeup looks with them, but today's post is going to focus on the shadow I bought called Druid. This the most neutral of the shadows I bought, and it's a pretty brown based shadow with an intense green and teal duo chrome shift. Depending on the type of base you use, it can pull different colors and appear different shades. I will go into my detail and show swatches of that in my review. 

This shadow is definitely gorgeous, but did I buy it just because Druid's are one of my favorite classes to play in World of Warcraft? Probably. 

Face Makeup 

Too Faced Hangover Rx Primer, Loreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation, Mac Pro Longwear Concealer, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, Too Faced Sweet Tea Bronzer, Makeup Revolution Matte blush in Nude, ABH Glow Kit, Mac Blankety Lipstick. 

Eyes 

1. I used Mac painterly paint pot to prime, and Maybelline color tattoo in Edgy Emerald for my base. 

2. For my transition shade I used Mac Soft Brown. Then I used Makeup Geek Frappe to darken my crease. 

4. I used Strobe Cosmetics Druid all over my lid, and blended it slightly into my crease. I also used Sunburst from the ABH glow kit in my inner corner. 

5. Then I finished up the look with winged liner using Wet n Wild Megaliner, Coloupop Swerve on my waterline, and Covergirl Super Sizer for my mascara.

And this competes my makeup look! This Druid color was so fun to play with! The other two looks I did are definitely more colorful and intense than this one. I will share them in my review for these shadows next week. I will definitely do a detailed FOTD, or eye look post/video on the other two looks if anyone is interested!

Do you enjoy playing around with colorful eyeshadow? I think these strobe cosmetics shadows may have started a colorful shadow addiction in me!  

FOTD | Lorac Pro Palette

Hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I'm trying to make it a point to use more of my makeup that I neglect. I get stuck in a routine and tend to use the same things over and over, so I'm trying to incorporate things I haven't used in a while! I've had my Lorac Pro palette sitting on my vanity for a few weeks and I kept saying I needed to use it more. Which is why I set it out on my vanity, but I was still neglecting it. So last week I made my self use it, and I've been using it everyday since. It's one of my favorite palettes so I don't even know why I stopped using it!

So anyways- I thought I would share a FOTD post since I really like the eye look I've been creating with this palette. 

Face Makeup 

Benefit Porefessional Primer, Covergirl 3 in 1 Foundation, Mac Pro Longwear Concealer, Rinmel Stay Matte Powder, Lorac TANtalizer Bronzer and Highlight Duo, Wet n Wild blush in Rose Champagne

Lips

Eyes 

I used Taupe (1) as my transition shade, and Sable (2) in my crease and outer corner. Then I used Champagne (3) all over my lid, and Espresso (4) on my lower lash line. 

I finished up with Maybelline Line Stiletto for my winged liner, Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray on my waterline, and Covergirl Super Sizee for my Mascara. 

This eye look is super simple and easy. It's also really similar to the one I do with my Urban Decay Naked Palette! 

Do you guys ever neglects any of your makeup items that you love? Let me know in the comments!

FOTD | Simple and Neutral

Hi! It's been forever and a day since I've posted a makeup look. And that is because I can't stop using my semi sweet chocolate bar palette. I use the damn thing everyday, but today I decided I need to use some of my makeup that I've been neglecting. This also included some foundation and cheek products that I haven't used in a long time!!

This is also the makeup I was wearing in my latest youtube video that I shared in my last post!

Eye Makeup

I decided to bust out my Mac palette becuse I haven't used it in forever.

I first primed my eyes with Mac Painterly Paint Pot. 

1. I used Mac soft brown in my crease and blended it up to my brow bone as a transition shade. 

2. I used Mac satin taupe in my crese and lower lash line. 

3. I used Mac all that glitters all over my lid and in my inner corners. 

I finished off the look with L'Oreal lineur intense liquid liner. Urban Decay shadow stick in Rehab on my waterline, and Benefit Roller Lash for my mascara!

I hope you all enjoyed this makeup look and thanks for reading!

FOTD + OOTD: City and Bright Colors

Hello Everyone!! Today I am going to share both an Outfit of the Day along with the makeup I wore when my husband and I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan with a group of friends. We love going there because it's a fun city with lots of stuff to do, and since it's summer time I chose to wear some bright colors on my eyes and for my outfit as well. 

Here is a pictures that I took of the downtown area. 

FOTD

Face Makeup:

For my foundation I used the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous. For my concealer I used the Covergirl & Olay simply agless corrector and the Revlon Color Stay concealer on top. I set my makeup with the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder and the Elf HD powder. I use the Elf golden bronzer all over my face for a night bronzy glow. I used NYC bronzer in sunny to contour. I used Benefit's Coralista for my blush, and the Chella highlighter pencil to highlight my face.

Eye Makeup:

I used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool for my eyeshadow primer/base. The White color really makes the bright yellow eyeshadow I applied more vibrant. This eyeshadow is Three Ring Yellow by Mac. In my crease I used Naked2 and Faint from the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, with Venus as my brow highlight. I used Satin Taupe by Mac in my outer corners and lower lash line. For my eyeliner I used the Bombshell liquid eye pen for my top liner and Urban Decay 24/7 liner in perversion in my waterline. For my Mascara I used Maybelline the Falsies.

I'm really obsessed with this bright yellow eyeshadow. My lovely friend Danielle at Foxy Lady Beauty gave it to me!

OOTD

This bright orange/coral dress is from Target. I love the bright color for summer! My skull necklace is from a store in Orlando that was in downtown disney. I have seen necklaces similar in alot of different stores lately. My watch and my purse are both from Fossil. 

I hope you all enjoyed and thank you so much for reading!
