Bronzy Babe + Youtube

**WARNING exited bronzer spiel ahead**

I am a true believer in bronzing to contour your face,I have a round face and my cheek bones are less then prominent.
So to give the allusion of  slimmer more defined face features I like to contour my face,for as long as I can remember Ive loved and been using the elf -bronzer in 'bronzed' because before that I used the Nars-laguna and i find them the exact same so of course, budget friendly me would opt for the way more affordable elf bronzer as a dupe if you ask me.

I get most of my makeup inspiration from Sam(YT) so when she mentioned that one of her favourite bronzer's was 'Bronzy Babe' a while back i just has to find it.
I finally found it at Trade Secrets yay!When I first saw it in person i was like holly crudmoli that's dark i will never be able to pull that off with my very 'fair' skin lol!But i tested it out on my hand and realized it blends so nicely it looked amazing so I went ahead and picked it up.

I have to tell you guys it is great I'm hooked already my new favorite bronzer it blends and its smooth and the colour is really fantastic even with my barely NC/15 skin.
I really do think this bronzer can work for anybody and I recommend it to anybody who wants a great bronzer without looking orange/fake or disco ball!

YAY Sam thanks so much for all your super great advice and tips and tutorial and everything Else you do on YT you are Awesome!

I love fall! & its fashion

I Don't Know why but my favourite season has always been fall,it might be the beautiful changing colours of the leaves and the 'fresh smelling air'(is that weird?I think air smells fresh...) anyway I do though.                                              I'm also a big scarf lover and I guess in fall I have so many more scarf options...Besides all that i guess there are allot of reasons i love fall well other then the snow is coming not far behind of course.

I know a big trend for the last well while now as Been leather jackets whether they be bomber style,motorcycle style or cropped and whatever the colour. Leather as Been a 'staple' in most of our wardrobes id say.
Ive Been sporting a black leather very edgy motorcycle jacket the last few years,but this year i though id get a brown/bomber one to add to my jacket collection I didn't want to go all out so i just picked one up they had at Old Navy witch I love that store Btw.

Now for me Fall starts September 1. I don't know why but in my mind it's always been that way so only having 2 weeks left till fall I'm pretty exited to start wearing my new jacket and of course my scarves :)

Here's a picture of my new 'faux leather' jacket

And let me know your favourite part of Fall!

Taylor Swift-TCA inspired makeup

So here's the look I promised you guys this week with the new Cover Girl 'blue bomb' primer/eyeshadow.My take on Taylor Swifts blueish/turquoise makeup look from the teen choice awards i just though it was different and i wanted to put my spin on it hope you enjoy :)(the colours in my pictures are not as vibrant as they really are sorry about that)
                 
  PRODUCT'S AND HOW I USED THEM:
-First I take my highlight Powder by Physician's formula in 'glow pearl' and i highlighted my brow bone and inner eye (tear duct area).





-Then i took my Cover girl blue bomb primer/eyeshadow and put it on my lid making a cat eye shape,i did not take it as high up or out as Taylor did but this is not a identical look it is only where i got my inspiration.


-Then taking a eyeshadow brush with some shimmery baby blue shadow in coastal scents palette, i blended out the blue bomb shadow and did windshield wiper motions.(the photo again looks all lot lighter then it really is  :(                        
-I also took a smaller eyeshadow brush and took the baby blue shadow  1/2 in on my lower lash line.








-Next Up I took my Lise Watier feline black liquid liner and lined above my top lashes.














-finally I finished up by applying two coats of Revlon grow luscious mascara and lightly adding urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero to my water line and the look is finished!hope you try it and like it.Again the blue in the photo does not do it justice at all darn camera.


And that concludes my version of Taylor Swifts beautiful blue eyeshadow look from the teen choice awards 2011.

Elizabeth Arden: Love it or Leave it

For some time now I have been a Elizabeth Arden fan, and with a few of her products being  'can't live without' products.I'm only gonna mention products that I own or that Ive owned in the past because if I start mentioning every product of hers that Ive tried once or sampled we will be here all day!So ill list the name of the product and a picture of it tell you whether I LOVE IT or whether you  can LEAVE IT on that product.Of course these are my opinions.

- I will start with a cult favorite,the Eight hour cream,this is by far my favorite product by Elizabeth Arden I cannot live without it!I give this product a LOVE IT .






-Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisture cream SPF 15:This is pretty much all I wear in the summer on my face its very light and gives me a perfect dewy look without being grease face.(don't forget to powder)I give this product a LOVE IT. 




-Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20:This is what i wear over my tinted moisturizer it has a light/medium build able coverage I give this another LOVE IT.                                                  
-Elizabeth Arden cheek color in Pink glow 04:I think this is a okay blush its nothing special it gives color must be care full to put it on with a light hand,I am not a fan of the smell at all and I am not one of those people who are particularly sensitive to smell.So for the price i think you could find something all lot better so I give this  a LEAVE IT.                                                                                   
-Their Elizabeth Arden makeup brush is amazing SO soft I use it for my ^ powder foundation mentioned above I don't think this i must go out and buy it but i do have all lot of makeup brushes and i still tend to pick it up all lot more then others i have even from mac or sigma.So this is a LOVE IT.                                                                                        
-Elizabeth Arden lipsticks now to me it doesn't matter how many different lipsticks Ive bough ten from Elizabeth Arden whether it be from one line or the next I always love her lipsticks there pigmented,moisturizing and are just beautiful colors and the  packaging is always so chic LOVE IT.

-5th Avenue perfume is very distinctive and I think more suitable for a mature women ,but everyone likes different scents especially when it comes to perfume so when i received this as a gift i though wow this smells nice but just could not see myself wearing it so my mom tried it and really liked it so i gave it to her.She then bought me the green tea perfume by Elizabeth Arden witch i adore .So I say if you walk by a Elizabeth Arden counter smell a few and let me know what you think about these perfumes and let me know your favorite products by Elizabeth Arden.
                                                                                                                       <3
