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! 

If you have any questions about any of the products mentioned leave them in the comment box! 

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
