Au' naturale!


So as you all know I live in Arizona and if you didn't well now you do =) And well having lived here most of my life, you would think that I'd be use to the heat. Well Hello No! (literally) I don't think I'll ever get use to 112 degrees -__- That being said you might just have one of those days where you feel like wearing absolutely nothing outside and I do mean nothing (birthday suit perhaps?!) but at the same time you don't want to look horrid. With this simple makeup look, you will not only look Au' naturale you will also look beautiful and most importantly you will feel fresh. Well simply because a little product can go a long way.


 Before I applied the eyeshadow I applied a little primer to the face to make my pores appear smaller and also to keep the skin looking matte and shine free.

Step 1-4: Apply a neutral taupe color to the eye lid, all the way to the top of the crease.
Step 5-7: With a blending brush apply a light shade nude eyeshadow and blend from crease to brow bone.

Step 8-12: With an eyeliner brush apply a gold cream eyeliner to the brush and draw a line across the upper lid on the lash line (as close to your lashes as possible while still on the lid). This creates the desired illusion of having thicker lashes.
Step 13-14: Apply your favorite mascara. Waterproof works best for summer.

Step 15-16: Apply a mattifying powder or loose powder to the face (preferably the T-Zone area) to keep the skin from looking oily and shine free.
Step 17-20: Apply a tinted moisturizer in a nude color. Lip Infusion is a natural looking tint that also plumps up the lips. (Also available at Ulta)

 A product that is also great to use in this summer heat is the Evian Facial Spray, which is a natural mineral water spray that increases your skins hydration and also helps fix your makeup. It offers you constant freshness and purity to the outer layer of your skin. I always carry this in my purse! Available at Ulta or even Walmart.

Naked

I must have gotten your attention with that title huh!!? lol

Monday! Ugh what a drag (being temporarily unemployed SUCKS) Anyway, what better way to keep myself busy (besides looking for jobs online) Blogging of course! Today's outfit pretty much explains how I feel today. Lack of enthusiasm. Womp! Cry me a river right?! No! I will not fall into the category of boredom nor will I grumble about it. Thank goodness this Red Bull is taking effect, although my mind seems to wonder breaking every bit of information into categories. Omg! I have no idea what I am rumbling about. Moving on to what this post is really about!... Tan tan tan!!  


Yesterday a dear aunt of mine Paula surprised me with a lovely gift (that I have been wanting for a very long time) I couldn't believe my ears when she said "It's for you!" =D I was super excited and very much thankful that she gave me the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! Thank you again so much Tia! I will most definitely be putting this palette to use along with my other favorite Urban Decay products that I've had. The De Slick mattefying powder and the Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion. My favorite products thus far!

Little Miss Red

Yes, I know it's almost midnight and well it's never too late to blog about my latest find right?! I just couldn't wait any longer to share with you about the alluring RED lipstick that I recently bought from Ulta for $3.25 with a discount that is! (Thank you Robert!) I love how bold the color was and how smoothly it glided onto my lips. I seems to stick on as well which I love for an all nighter out with the girls. I will definitely be wearing this shade this weekend. Look out people here comes trouble! I kid I kid....or am I!?
