MOTD: 8/31/13

Today I wasn't really in the mood to do to much with my makeup so I did a really simple look.  

The first thing I did was prime my eyelids with this mini Urban Decay Primer Potion that I got with one of my palettes.  

After I primed my lids I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk that I just bought the other day(comment if you want me to do a haul) all over my lids and did a tiny bit of blending with my finger. 

Moving on to mascara I used the Maybelline Mega Plush and that's all I did to my eyes.  

I then used the NYX Brow Cake in Blonde, taking the lighter of the two powder shades and filled in my brows.  Then I took the wax using the small angled brush it comes with and used that to set my brows so they stay in place. 

After I finished with my eye and brow makeup I moved on to my face.  I don't wear foundation everyday, I mainly use it for special occasions because I have pretty good skin.  I will use a BB cream though if I want to look a bit more "put together."  I just used a bit of my e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige on a few blemishes I have.

Then for my lips I decided to use my new NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo.  It's a really nice dark pink color, it's hard to describe but it's really pretty.  This lip product is suppose to be in between a lipstick and a lipgloss.  I don't  want to go into to much detail but if you want me to do a review comment down below.

Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone

Not a lot of people really think about eye primers and eyeshadow bases as much as the eyeshadow itself.  But a lot of the time they are just what you need to make  your eyeshadow really pop and last throughout the day.  Earlier in June I picked up the NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with NYX, they are a drugstore cosmetic brand.  Where I live you can only find NYX in the drugstore section of Ulta, but I don't know if that is the same for everyone.  The eyeshadow base comes in three different colors: white, pearl, and skin tone.  I picked up skin tone because I do a lot of natural makeup looks.  The product comes in a small plastic jar like container and you just unscrew the plastic top to open it.  The packaging is pretty good quality and small and compact enough for traveling.  This product claims to hold, intensify, and  make your eyeshadow last longer.  I think that this product really lives up to the claims it makes.  I just apply it with my fingers and then let it set for a minute before applying eyeshadow.  I haven't really had the product crease on me and a little bit goes a long way.  It is $6.99 at Ulta, and I know that seems kind of pricey for such a small product but honestly I have been using it for about two months and I have barely made a dent in it.  And like I said earlier a little bit goes a long way.  Besides Ulta almost always has the buy 1, get 1 at 50% off deal on their drugstore cosmetics.  To sum it all up I really like this product, it really helps to make my eyeshadow look better, last longer, and stay put.  It is also cruelty free, meaning that they don't test on animals which is something I really like.  I defiantly recommend this to someone who is looking for a good eyeshadow base.  I like it so much that the next time I'm at Ulta I plan on picking up the eyeshadow base in white for some of my lighter, more pastel colored eyeshadows.
