FOTD: Using Kiss My Sass

The other day the mister and I decided to check out the family day at one of the many summer festivals here in our local area. Thus I decided to play in a little bit of my war paint to come up with something summery and essentially easy to apply and wear (because of how humid it had been that week).

Since I want to make sure I get as much proper wearability to my recent purchases, I decided I would try making a different look using products from Kiss My Sass.

 

Better Look at the eyes

Looking at just ONE eye





Products used for Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt (all over lid)
Kiss My Sass shadow in Tea Rose (all over lid)
Kiss My Sass shadow in Sahara (blended into crease)
Kiss My Sass shadow in Fiesty (blended into crease and lower lash line)
Kiss My Sass shadow in Drama Queen (brow bone and inner tear duct as eye brightener)
MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating (water line)
P2 Automatic Eye Kahul in Dark Brown (upper lash line smudged)
Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara in black

The mister said the colors on the eyes reminded him of sorbet t ice cream!!!

Lips

 

Products used:

ELF Essential Lip Liner in Spice (outlined and filled in)

Kiss My Sass Lip Mixer in In the Buff (blended in)

Normally I don't like a majorly nude lip, but I thought it would be the perfect way to test out to the product. Plus I had such a loud shirt on (ie the design/ print) I needed something to draw less attention. 

For the rest of the face



Products used
ELF Studio Complete Concealer in Light
Sabrina Cosmetics Pressed Powder in 03
ELF Studio Bronzer and blush Duo (bronzer for contour)
Coastal Scents 10 blush palette (peachy pink matte color)
Kiss My Sass Highlighter in Glisten

Overall, I was pretty pleased with the look. By the end of the humid day the face make up pretty much melted off (stupid humidity), but the eye shadow looked fabulous!!!

I'm Including a few pics from the festival

Mister and our nuts!!!!

In the Bar is Now added to the YouTube

As I do tend to go out quite a bit recently on the weekends with my friends, we have become more and more of Pregamers before heading off for the night. All meeting at my Jew's house, as she has an amazing bar and is a great mastermind and mixer of the drinks. 

As funny as this sounds, the drunker she is...the better the drinks taste!!!! 

If you aren't that much of a mixed drinker, you more than likely won't like this recipe...however it's just funny to watch!!! 

Day 22: I want to be better at it

Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at

I don't doubt someone will wonder why exactly I chose this photo for what I need to work on. Although it is perhaps quite agruable that I'm a pretty good wife, I still feel like there are things I need work on. I can cook, but I wish I knew more recipes of foods that the mister really enjoys (IE southern cooking). 

I wish I was able to bring in a bit more money to the household, as I tend to spend a decent amount of it! I wish I could motivate my mister a bit more to get into school. I wish there was more time in the day so that I could get all the extra projects that need to be done (or that I want to do) finished before the mister walks through the door.

Again, I know I am a good wife...but it never hurts to be a bit better!!!

Updates/ Addendum to my Posts on Luminessair Every Day Make Up Kit

I just wanted to note  a few things on this blog post that I did receive some clarification on (as I want to make sure I am sharing all proper facts and information with anyone who happens to read this blog).

• I had emailed the lovely Emily at Luminessair to find out the reasoning for the logo being a butterfly and she shared the following information with me.  "To answer your question about our logo, the reason the butterfly is our company logo is for multiple reasons :) The first is because the butterfly signifies the metamorphosis and the transformation of an individual who uses our product to Achieve a flawless look. The butterfly is also considered a sign of good luck in many cultures and takes flight through the "Air"."

•  I also did need to clarify that I was mistaken in my initial blog posting and haul video that is found on my YouTube channel about where Luminessair can send packages to. In both my blog and in my video I stated they were unable to send to my PO box because they could not send mail internationally. However that is not the case, Emily did let me know the following, " I did notice that you mentioned that we do not ship outside the U.S. and we actually do, but since we use FedEx we can not send to PO Boxes or APO addresses."  I did want everyone to know this information, as I want to be honest and through with any products that I receive for review purposes.

• Finally, I wanted to also point out that Emily does keep tabs on all blog posts, videos that are done by those who are reviewing the products of Luminessair as in my most recent email exchange with her she did comment, "I did notice that you prefer a more matte finish, and I would recommend setting your Luminess look with a translucent powder to finish off your look. :)". I am quite appreciative of the great tip that was not pointed out in the actual video guide (supplied with the kit). Thank you very much Emily, plus it let's me know that Luminessair (especially Emily) really make sure their customers (or reviewers in my case) are satisfied. 

 

I am again just sharing this information because I feel the need to make sure I am telling everyone the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!

Review to be up this week of Luminess!!! 

Halloween: Elvira Mistress of the Dark

I tried my hand at a Halloween tutorial last year and decided to do Elvira Mistress of the Dark (because I was contemplating being her for Halloween...however I did go with a different costume all together). 

The make up itself isn't necessarily the greatest I can do...mind you I had been doing videos for 10 months when I tried my hand at this look. And although it was rough looking (at least in my opinion) it is decent.

I found the how to on her make up by looking it up on google and pretty much just followed the guideline.

Couple of pics of my rendition of the look 

Better look at the eyes 

Yeah I know I needed a better eye base and to darken the shadows a bit!!

 Elvira was known for her sexiness!!! MEOW

Overall, I did okay for attempting to recreat Elvira Mistress of the Night...I'm including the video I have on my YouTube channel...my intro and outro are totally silly! Apparently I decided I really wanted to stay in character!!!!
