Disney Villains LookBooks! - Ursula - Get ready with me!

Hey guys i just uploaded my Ursula look book, get ready with me check it out!

Disney Villains Collection

So being my 20's i have to admit, i should be out of my Disney phase by now. Of course i not though, i am still the biggest Disney lover/nerd ever, going to Disney World still gives me butterflies, watching movies like The Little Mermaid, Fantasia, or Hercules still make me sit and stare in wonder. So naturally when i heard about the new Disney Villains makeup collection from E.L.F. i about had a heart attack. I rushed out after work today to find these products, it only took me three stores to finally find them. They are exclusive at Walgreen's and come in 3 different types, a Look Book, and nail polish set, and eyelash sets. All of these feature 4 different villains, The Evil Queen, Ursula, Cruella De Vil and Maleficent. I was only really interested in the looks books as to me the are the best price for what you get. Each one was $9.99 and comes with 1 eyelid primer, 6 eye shadows, 1 brightening eyeliner, 1 liquid eyeliner, 1 mascara, 1 lip color, and an eye shadow brush. I opted for three out of four villains leaving out Maleficent mainly because she was blues and greens and i don't see myself using it that much, all though i love these so much now that they are home i am starting to reconsider not getting hers.


First up we have Ursula, this book contains more pinks and purples than anything else which took me by surprise, i really expected more grays and blues. I do think hers is my favorite though. Oh and can we talk about how cute these names for shadows are!?

Next up is my second favorite, Cruella. The main reason i like this one is because its all neutrals and to be honest that basically all i use on myself anymore. i am not however very fond of the lip color i don't think i could pull this one off.

Last up is The Evil Queen, i realllllly love the lip color in this one but its last on my list because the colors are just kind of blah. I was hoping for something more dark and powerful to come from this villain.

I am pretty happy with these, i cant wait to try them out. I will be doing a mini haul and get ready with me for each one so keep and eye out for that and make sure to comment and let me know which is your favorite and which is your least! Talk to you guys soon!

Jennifer Lawrence: SAG awards look

Me and my husband are currently obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence and i think most people are lying if the tell you they don't have a secret thing for her. She is flawless, down to earth, funny i could go on but i should stop before my hubby catches on to how much i admire her.

I noticed when looking through images of her makeup that she often goes for a smokey eye with heavy liner and a nude or light lip with little to no blush. The reason i went with the look from the SAG awards was because it was one of the only times i saw her go for a more daring red lip and really love it on  her i think she can easily pull it off.

Here is the look we were going for

And here is my Finished look

The main points of this look are shimmery warm shadow, heavy liner, clean matte face and bright red lip. Lets get started.

First i applied a basic moisturizer all over my face with my hands, after that i applied my MAC Prep and Prime base all over with my Real Techniques (RT) buffing brush. Since i needed more matte finish for this look i used my MAC studio fix fluid foundation in color NW25, and i applied this generously all over my face with my RT stippling brush. After that i took my MAC studio finish concealer in NW25 and my RT pointed foundation brush and applied it to all of my blemishes and blended that in with my same stippling brush i used for my foundation. The last step to prepping my face was using my Benefit erase paste in color 01 Fair right under my eyes to conceal and brighten my dark circles i applied it with my finger and buffed it in with my RT buffing brush i used for my primer.

Moving on to our eyes i went with my naked palette to get the nice warm shimmer i wanted for my lid and crease. The first color i applied was Bootycall, as lovely as t e name is the color is so much lovely...er :) its this beautiful peachy color. I applied this all over my lid as my base color using a fluffy Sephora eye brush. I then put color Chopper over top, and all over the lid. Chopper is so pretty its this shimmer peach color that i just want to use it everyday. On my outer corner i used YDK which is a bit darker but no too dramatically different and then used a tiny bit of Busted just to give my eyes some depth.

After that my eyes were basically done i added thick liner, Clinique cream liner in True Black in a bit of a point with my MAC 266 and then used an Urban Decay black eye pencil to add liner to my top and bottom water lines.

The rest of this look is super low key, I used my Stippling brush to put some light blush on just the apples of my cheeks, for this look i used a Skinn Cosmetics cream blush in color Teen Tone. I finished off my face with my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish powder in color medium plus all over my face with a large powder brush. For my lashes i used Maybelline 8 by one Volumize mascara. And lastly for the lips i used Kate Moss lipstick by Rimmel London i color 01 Rossetto. 

Here are all the products used:

Cream/Gel Liner

Out of all the different things to learn when it comes to makeup this is the one that i cant seem to master. When i fist really started using liner i was going for liquid liners, simply because that's what i saw my sisters use when i was younger and my mother as well, little did i know you can buy cream and gel liners which to me, even though they are all difficult to use, are much easier to work with. The only thing with these products are that they dry super quick so if you mess up it can be quite a challenge to try and fix it. My suggestions are this:

1- PRACTICE. I don't know how many times i have gotten my entire face finished and then junked up my liner which can really make you want to kill someone because you end up having to do everything over again, and in some cases this could be worse because you might not have time to redo your makeup. So what i i like to do is when i'm bored or have no where to be i just practice with no makeup on that way if i mess it up no big deal!

2- Try different products, Personally I use Clinique Cream Liner. I like this one cause it is exactly what its name says its creamy compared to some gel liners. Its really all about comfort, you have to find a material that is easy for you to work with, every one is different!

3- Try different brushes. I was using a fine liner brush for a while which is nice for the lid and into your inner corner but if you want a nice clean flick you should try out a angled liner brush like the 266 from MAC, be careful though take it from me i used the fine liner brush for quite a while and was very use to it so when i tried to change over to the angled brush it was really hard to get used to, i am getting the hang of it finally but just be warned it does feel REALLY different.

4- Don't feel bad if you don't get it down right away it can be very discouraging  trust me i know my husband has had to listen to me scream and get upset over line on more than one occasion.


I will eventually do a tutorial for you on ways of doing liner but i don't think i should do one now since i am still learning myself. If you have any tips that help you make sure to comment and let me know and in the mean time check out my Channel and follow me on twitter!

Here are some photos from the other night when i was practicing!

Preview on Mondays Post!

Here's a little sneak peak of Mondays post its going to be all about my experience learning to work with cream liner!

Mini M.A.C. and facial product Haul!

Today i did a bad thing..... i bought some M.A.C. Cosmetics...

I did spend quite a bit but i don't often have the chance to go to MAC or spend money on their products because they are pretty expensive. I stuck to the basics with this purchase, meaning i just picked up the items i would use on a daily basis rather than random lip or eye colors, all though some of the new collections were incredibly tempting! I also stopped in my local drugstore and picked up some facial products to try out.




All together i am very happy with my purchases today.

 Lets start with our MAC products, the first thing i needed was some new concealer, i like a heavy coverage when it comes to concealer because like most teenagers when i was 13-17 i didn't really know i shouldn't be picking and poking at things on my face and now i have some decent size acne scars to account to that behavior. I decided to go with the Studio Finish Concealer and was face matched in color NW25.

 I also wanted to try out a different MAC foundation, the only one i have ever used and been comfortable with is the Face and Body foundation, which is a very light coverage, so naturally i completely abandoned my comfort zone and got a much more matte foundation. I went with Studio Fix Fluid in color NW25

Now recently i haven't been using any kind of base fr my makeup i have only used moisturizer for about 2 years now so i felt like it was time to go back to using an actual primer. I landed on the Prep + Prime by MAC and let me just say this stuff feels incredible, and i have only used it on the back of my hand i cant wait to try it on my face.

The last face product i got form MAC was the Mineralize Skin Finish Powder  i have seen Zoella use this as well as others compare the Rimmel stat Matte powder i currently use to this MAC product so i really wanted to give it a go. I ended up with color Medium Plus.

 I did also pick up two brushes, i got a fine liner brush for my winged liner looks, as well as a 217 fluffy brush for blending shadows. The last two things i bought where both face washes, i needed a new just general in the shower or int he morning face wash so i just went with my CVS brand energizing facial cleanser. The other product i got was the Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser by Neutrogena, like i said farther up i have some bad acne scars and pretty large pores so i am hoping this cleanser is really going to help shrink my pores and help my scars look better.

I hope you all enjoyed this Mini Haul, i will have another post out on the blog on Monday and i hope to have a new video on my channel sometime next week! Make sure to leave me comments or tweet me and let me know what looks you would like me to recreate or what products you would like to see me review!

Where I've been.

If any of you had notcied or had been intersted in my beauty blog and channel you will note i havent posted anything in quite a while.

I find that being a wife and a mother makes it very hard for me to just randomly find time to post things, and make sure i am getting content out without any kind of goal or structure. i also fins that being a wifes and mother i always seem to use those two things about myself as excuses and thats not acceptable.

Because cosmotology is something i love and use as an escape, as my form of art, something i want to be part of my life for the rest of the time i get to be on this earth, i am going to force my self to set weekly goals and structured plans as to when i will release content.

right now i am planning for a blog post every monday and friday as well as onevideo a week. I will keep you all up dated and if you would like to check out my blog and channel feel free to do so.

<3 Brittany

Amanda Seyfried Oscars Look- Pixiwoo Spin

Time for another spin on a Pixiwoo look! I recently saw a video of theirs were they did Amanda Seyfried's Oscar makeup (you can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPNip8gtFhs) and i fell in love, i have been wanting to do something with purples on Stephy for a while a this one was perfect. I did lighten the colors a bit on Steph though because she typically wears lighter makeup.




Here is the Look all finished up:

As always I started off with moisturizer all over the face applied with my Real Techniques (RT) Buffing brush, I then used my NARS Sheer glow foundation in color Ceylan, i first applied it to her face with a RT Essential foundation brush and then i buffed in in with the RT Stippling brush. After that i used my pointed foundation brush from RT and applied my Benefit Erase paste in color 1 Fair under her eyes and on any blemishes, i buffed that in with my RT domed shadow brush.

Eyes where the main focus of this look but in the Pixiwoo video they went a litttttle bit darker than i wanted to go on Steph because she is very fair skinned. I started off the eyes with my Clinique touch base for eyes in color 10 Canvas and i worked that all over the lid and up to the brow bone with my finger. I then used a Maybelline shadow in color Linen to base her lid. The next color i used, Foxy, was from my Urban Decay Naked2 palette i wanted this over the lid on top of Linen just to add some warmth to the base. The final base i used for her lid was a pink toned matte color from a Sephora palette i picked up at the register a couple visits ago. The color i picked is called Apricot and i just mixed it with the blush color in the palette for a little extra tone.

 Apricot

Blush Color

The next step was the color for the outer corner of her eye. I have had a little quad palette from Ulta for quite a while and have barely ever used it so this was the perfect time. I first used the color in the top right corner which is a smoky pink shimmer and I applied it with my RT flat shadow brush right in her outer corner in a v shape from the bottom lash line to right above her crease.

I then used the top left shadow which is a deep purple and I applied it to the outer corner of the eye as well but just under the crease and down to the lash line. I used my expert crease brush to lightly blend these colors together just to look softer. I did use an angled liner brush with some of the second shadow color along her top lash line as well. I then used my Clinique cream liner and and my RT fine liner brush so apply a tiny line of liner to the top lash line and then i smuged it out to make it nice and smoky.

Warning: I had had this palette about 4 years there is no making it look pretty lol. Sorry!

After all that is finished you can move onto the face. Nic from Pixiwoo had a powder that had a nice illuminating quality to it but i don't have anything like that so to help get that same glowy effect i used a creme blush. This time i went with a creme rouge from NYX  unfortunately there is no name for this color but any glowing pink blush you have will do. I also applied my Bare Minerals Mineral Veil on the top of her cheek bones for highlight.

For her lips i had to kind of improvise i didn't have anything quite as pink as Nic used but i did have  really pretty color in my Victoria secret palette that i really wanted to use so i just went for it. I have had this quite a while so im not sure if they still sell it.

Again i have had this a LONG time so its very well.....loved.

Color used is third down, or center color.

I finished off her look with my Maybelline 8 by one volumize mascara and the Rimmel stay matte powder in color transparent. Here are all the products used:

And here is Stephy all finished:
