Buxom Samantha Smokey Eye Look!

Super easy look featuring the Buxom Samantha Smokey Eye set I got from Sephora.  

Face: Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer (under the eyes) and Mac Studio Fix Concealer

Cheeks: Nars Lovejoy blush and Nars Laguna bronzer

Eyes: Maybelline Give Me Gold eye palette, Buxom eyeliner for the waterline, and Buxom Mascara (love the mascara) 

Lips: Mac creme d'nude and Buxom Samantha Lipgloss 

The Buxom Samantha Lipgloss is very pale, however it's super sheer so on the lips it will only give you a wash of color.  For me, my natural lip color does show through.  On its own, it does not have the opacity to give you the "concealer" lip look.  I love wearing Mac creme d'nude underneath with Buxom Samantha on top!

Have a lovely day!! xX

July Favorites

July was crazy hot!  I also traveled a lot during July so I kept my makeup simple.  The products above are pretty much what I've been using all month long (when I wore makeup).  These items are my basics and I tend to always come back to them!

1. Coach Poppy Fragrance - Love this!!!  

2 Benefit Hoola Bronzer - perfect matte bronzer 

3. Bare Minerals Dawn Blush -click here for swatch

4. Naked Palette - this was the only palette I used during my travels, very versatile 

5. Too Faced Shadow Insurance - keeps your shadows in place, especially during hot humid weather

6. Mac Naked Lipliner - perfect for creating a nude lip for lighter to medium skin tones 

7. Mac Cultured Lipglass - very pretty mauve/pink color 

This look is what I wore all during July! 

Have a lovely day! xX

Drugstore and Sephora Haul - Buxom Samantha's Smoky Eye

I'm so excited with the stuff I've picked up in the last couple of weeks.  Have to say that I love most of them!

Buxom Samantha's Smoky Eye - I got this from the Sephora website for $20 dollars!!  What a steal!  It comes with Buxom Big & Heathy Lip Polish in Samantha which is a really pretty sheer nude color.  It smells like vanilla peppermint and has a light tingly sensation.  I love Buxom lip glosses because they are not sticky and feels great on the lips.  The kit also comes with a Buxom Smoky Eye Stick in Smokin' Pistol, a Boxum Eye Brush and a Lash Mascara.   I like to use the eyeliner as a base to build a smoky eye look and the Buxom mascara is great!  The formula is drier than a lot of other mascara which I prefer and goes on the lashes without looking clumpy!

Amalactin Ultra - This is a life saver if you have dry skin, eczema, or Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin).  It's a very thick cream, and a little goes a long way.  Doesn't really have a perfume scent - rather smells kinda medicinal. I highly recommend this product!

Cutex Advanced Revival - My favorite nail polish remover.  Smells good, and remove nail polish really quickly.

Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy Condition in Ultra Shea - Awesome product - so glad I got this!  Leaves your hair sooo smooth and silky.  Smells good too.

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm - Got this in Peach Kiss.  It's my second tube.  Easy to apply and leaves a nice sheer nude color on the lip.  Not crazy about the smell though.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment - I got the mini ones in Rose and Clear.  The rose one has a slight rosy color.  On the lip it gives a your lips but better look.  These have SPF 15.  They feel a little waxy on the lips.

Essie Ballet Slippers

Ballet Slippers is a more pink in real life! 

Essie Ballet Slippers is a very pale pink color.  If a mixture between Essie Baby's Breath and Essie Fiji.  This is one of my all time favorite nail polish!  It's a little difficult to work with, and does require 3 coats for full opacity.
