FOTD | Teal Spring Makeup

It finally feels like spring time here in Michigan! I'm super excited to do some spring makeup looks and pay around with some fun colors. If you saw my colourpop haul a few days ago, then you know I orders two teal shadows and I said I was going to do a FOTD post using them! Teal is very out of my comfort zone, but I was really excited to use these two shades because they are absolutely stunning. 

This is also a look inspired by one that Hailie Barber did on her YouTube channel. I ordered these teal shadows and honestly wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. When I saw she posted a tutorial for an eye look with a pop of teal using the same shadow I got, I was super excited and knew I had to re created the look she did!

Eye Makeup 




I wanted to use some warm brown shades in my crease. I chose to use the Too Faced Semi Sweet palette for the peanut butter shade. 
I started by using Mac Painterly Paint Pot to primer my eye lids. Then I went in with shadows from the semi sweet palette. I used Mousse as my transition shade. Then I used Peanut Butter and buffed it out into my crease and outer corner. I used Puddin' very lightly in my crease to darker it up a bit. 
I next went in with the Coloupop shadows. I placed Flower Shop all over my lid. I used Alchemy in my inner comers, and Belladonna Lily all along my lower lash line. 
I totally forgot to take a photo of my liners and mascara, but I used my usual Maybelline line stiletto, Stila smudge stick black liner, and covegirl super sizer mascara.  

I was really happy with the way this came out. I totally wish I would have filmed a tutorial on this look instead of just taking photos! 

Do you have any fun shadow colors you like to wear in spring time? 

*I'm planning on reviewing one of the products I showed in my 'currently testing' post on Friday! Which would you guys like to see? I either want to do the Elf Acne Solutions Foundation, Elf Illuminating Eye Cream, or the Wen Ultra Nourshing Oil. Let me know what you guys think!*

Colourpop Haul

Hello! I hope you all had a nice weekend! I decided to skip the Sephora sale and place and order from Colourpop instead. Colourpop is addicting. I've been wanting more Lippie stix because the first time I placed an order for some, I only ended up liking one out of the three I bought, so I've had my eye on a few for a while and some of their new spring shadows! 

I almost bought some of their liquid lipsticks but since I still haven't tried any, I kind of chickened out because I was unsure if I'd like them. Which is really dumb because they are so cheap lol!


I picked up three shadows, two Lippie stix, and one highlighter. 

From left to right- Belladonna Lily (matte), Flower Shop (pearlized), and Alchemy (glitter sheer). 

I'm really in love with the belladonna lily and flower shop. They are both such pretty teal shades and perfect for spring. Alchemy is a golden shade that's glittery, which I love to wear on my lid. Since it's a glitter sheer, it looks nice over top of other shadows too!

The highlighter I chose is in the shade Whisp. I was a little meh about this one because it looked way different than online. It looked lighter and way more golden instead of bronze. I'm not the biggest fan of cream highlighters so I'm not even sure what I was thinking when I bought this. It's super pretty anyways, and it did look nice on my cheek bones but I need to play with it more. It does make for a beautiful eyeshadow as well, and I wore it on my lid yesterday and loved it. So at least if I don't like it as a highlight I can use it for a shadow lol!  

The two Lippie stix I picked up are Lumiere (top) and Oh Snap (bottom). They are both the matte formulas. Lumiere was created by Kathleen Lights and I've wanted it for a long time. 
I really love both of these Lippie stix. They are both shades I know I'll wear a ton. I especially love Oh Snap (left picture). It's such a perfect nude shadow for everyday! It reminds me a little of Mac blankety, which I've been wearing every freaking day for two months. Now I've switched to Oh Snap and have been wearing it all weekend!!

I'm definitely going to have a FOTD post up this week using those two teal shadows that I picked up! I also really wanted to try one of their new brow pencils but I decided against it because I didn't want to fall in love with it and have to worry about re ordering one every month. I go through brow pencils quickly (I'm a savage when I draw on my brows) so maybe I'll try one in the future when I get bored of my Nyx pencil! 

What's your favorite from colourpop?
