OOTD and FOTD: Silver and Gold

This was what I wore yesterday to school. It is very wearable and neutral. Hence the term "naked" from the Naked 2 palette I used haha. I don't use this palette very often because of the cool tones (I like the original Naked palette way better), so I decided to open it back up from my collection so I can try to fall in love with it again.

Face:
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (undereyes) in Light
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW30
ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo-I used both the blush and the bronzer
Urban Decay De Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray
 
Eyes: *warning* A LOT of fallout
Urban Decay Primer Potion-Original
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette-Half Baked (All over lid), Suspect (crease), YDK (crease/definer in outer corner), Bootycall (inner corner and browbone)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner-Whiskey
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

 
Tank Top: Aeropostale
T-Shirt: Old Navy
Jeans: Aeropostale
Boots: Kohl's
 
I love this look, and I hope you do too!

FOTD: Purple Lipstick

 
I have had this purple lipstick in my collection for a little while, never wore it out in public, so I thought I would give it a shot. I normally don't wear lipstick that often and when I do I feel a little out of place. But I rock it anyways ;)

 
Face:
Revlon Colorstay Whipped in 330 True Beige
Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Roller (tinted one)
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer
ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Duo (bronzer side)
Nars Sin (been loving this a lot!)

 
Eyes:
Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Primer
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries
Mark i-mark Metallics Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Truffle
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in Whiskey
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara
 
Lips:
NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick in Sparkling Orchid

 
It's a little blurry but I thought it was cute because my dog is in the picture posing with me.
 
Cardigan: Ross I think (birthday present from my parents)
Purple Tank top: Aeropostale
Purple shirt: Kohl's
Jeans: Outlet mall (I can't remember which store I bought them from)
Boots: Kohl's

 
I love this outfit, especially for this time of the year. The weather has been crazy here lately. One day its cold, the next day its warm and you don't need a heavy jacket.
 
I also love the makeup...perfect for fall. So crack open your purple lipsticks, folks! :)

NOTD: Revlon Autumn Berry

I normally don't wear this type of color often, and I think this is a really nice shade for fall. I did a little hack job on my nails hence why they are short, but I still think this nail polish looks nice and very wearable.


As usual, I used the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Clear Nailpolish as my base and top coat. In between the two layers, is Revlon's Autumn Berry.

I also really like the formula of this nail polish...it lasted me 5 days! This is an older bottle my grandma gave me, so I am unsure if the formula has changed. Either way, I think I need to try more Revlon nail polishes!

Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash



This is what it looks like on my face. 


And the results after using it...


I got a sample of this from Sephora. This package seems small, but you don't need that much so it will last at least 3-4 times if not more. Of course initially it made my face red because it is an exfoliator. But it DID make my face overall smoother, like any exfoliator should. I don't use this everyday because I have my own cleanser to use. But if you are interested in this, I would recommend getting a sample of it before you shell out the $25.00 for 8oz. I personally would not buy the full size, as I am sure there are plenty of cheaper alternatives out there to try. I would recommend this for sensitive skin because it is very gentle, and gets the job done. One thing I don't like about this is the smell.

Freeman's Facial Enzyme Mask Review

This mask claims to gently exfoliate your skin, lightly moisturize to leave skin soft and younger-looking.
As you can see from the photo, my skin is red with a few recent acne/scarring areas. 

This mask is a yellowish/clear color and smells like Pineapples (hence the name!) I really like the scent of it.

What I don't like about it? It itched like crazy! I have never tried a mask like this (always ones that help with acne) so I am unsure if this is normal. But because it itched so much, I probably will not repurchase it. 
Right after I washed this off of my face, you can see that my face is still just as red as before. But my face looked brighter and was super smooth! I probably didn't need moisturizer afterwards, but I applied it anyways (I have super oily skin).

This picture is with the flash.
 
I forgot to take a picture of my skin the next day, but it definitely looked brighter and less red. I can't really tell you if it made my skin look younger, because I am young myself. So I probably am not the best candidate for that.
 
Overall I think this is a great mask if you can get over the itchiness. I still have some left in that package that I will use...but as I mentioned I won't repurchase.
 
You can get this mask in this "sample" packet at Walmart. You can't buy the full size there unfortunately. If this is something you would like in a mask I say go for it! The small packages are great because you can test them out like I did. I bought a few of the other ones, which I liked and will probably do a review once I buy the full sizes.

NOTD: A Whimsical Sky

 
I bought Revlon Whimsical a while back and had tried it on my nails, and realized it wasn't opaque enough...so I finally gave in and bought a lighter blue to layer underneath it. I love it!
 
I first used my Sally Hansen clear nail polish as my base coat. Then I painted my nails with 2 coats of Hard Candy Sky. Next I layered 2 coats of Revlon Whimsical. No top coat.
 




 
I think it is just perfect!
 
One thing I will mention about Sky is that it doesn't apply very evenly. If I were to wear it on it's own, I would definitely apply 3 coats.
