Spring Makeup Look With Products From Target
March 7, 2013 By 6 Comments
Target is getting ready for spring with some featured products, and boy am I ready for it too! I went to Target and grabbed a few of the products featured in the below video to do a new makeup look.
Nothing screams Spring to me more than bright fun colors, and I love the new L’Oreal Colour Riche Quads, so I purchased one in the Brazen Bolds range called “Blue Haute Couture.” I like that particular one as a transition to Spring because it has bright fun colors, but you can also still use it to create darker dramatic looks.
I applied the shades with a damp brush, focusing on the teal on my lid, pink/beige in the inner corner and on the brow bone, blue at the outside corner, and the deep green as a liner. Using a damp brush keeps fall out to a minimum and also keeps the colors bright. Here is a closer look.
I also picked up a bright Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick in Vivid Rose. I don’t normally wear lipstick this bright, but I decided to give it a try and I ended up really, really liking it. If you like vivid shades, you will want to check out that entire line.
I also grabbed some CoverGirl Clump Crusher Lash Blast Mascara. I had been wanting to try this one after seeing so many good reviews. I ended up loving it. It indeed does not clump, and it gives really nice length and definition.
Here is my final overall look using the products. By total coincidence, I also recently got the shirt that I am wearing at Target!
It’s Time for Springtime.

Makeup Wars: Pantone Emerald and Green Makeup For St. Patrick’s Day
March 4, 2013 By 12 Comments
Outside of Saint Patrick’s Day, green is not a color that I wear much, or at least not any green as bright as emerald. So, I decided to do a bit of looking through my collection to see what among my extensive collection of palettes had the best greens. It was kind of slim pickings, but I found a couple of nice shades among a few of my favorite palettes. Interestingly, the best selection I found was in one of my most affordable palettes. I’ll save that for last.
Starting with a few more expensive choices, Urban Decay came through on both. The Theodora Palette has two nice Greens in it and it is an awesome palette all around. You can see my previous review of it with swatches here. Below are swatches of the greens from Urban Decay Theodora.
Next, the Urban Decay Vice Palette, another great UD choice, has a beautiful duochrome green/blue in it called Junkie. Depending on how the light hits, it looks emerald or it looks like a vivid blue/green. See my full Urban Decay Vice review here.
Here is a swatch of Junkie.
But here is the best source of greens I found in one palette, and you can get this one for only $13 right now! The BH Cosmetics Party Girl Palette has a nice selection of well pigmented green shades. You can see the full review here.
BH Cosmetics does a good job at providing palettes with numerous great shades at excellent prices. The pigment in their shadows is surprisingly good for the ultra cheap cost. Here swatches of the greens from the Party Girl Palette.
