Last week I picked up the Sephora + Pantone Universe eyeshadow palette ($55) and I am very satisfied. 
I will be taking photos of different color combos on my eyes and doing a video review of it very soon.  The colors feel super smooth to the touch and go on beautifully.

Beauty Quickie: Brush Off Eyeshadow!



Often times when applying eyeshadow, little crushed specks of color fall onto our cheeks and nose.  This is especially annoying if the eyeshadow is black or a well pigmented color that can potentially smudge onto your beautifully foundation-finished face.

The solution to this is easy, however.  Simply grab any clean fluffy brush, I’d suggest a blush brush, and sweep the little specks right off your face with a feather-like stroke.  VOILA!  It’s like nothing ever happened! ;)

What 365 Days of Make-up Looks Like

A lot of my fellow beauty blogs have been doing a 365 Days of Make-up special post on their sites for every day of the year.  It’s a challenge sort of thing.  I decided I might want to participate, but I know I am too lazy to wear make-up every single day (and honestly, am more concerned with caring for my skin than covering up the flaws) - so I just decided to google it and check out others’ stuff to see if I could draw the inspiration to go through with it.

And what I found was awesome!

The video above is a special for Nowness by Lernert & Sander in which model Hannelore Knuts goes from a natural look to what 365 days of make-up looks like…none stop!  It makes you realize how much shit goes on your face for a year and it is FAR from pretty.  

The video took over 9 hours of non-stop application to shoot and merely took seven bottles of Foundation S103; two bottles of Creamy Eyes E107; three Milky Lips L205 pens; and two bottles of Blush S301. All together 228.40ml of makeup.   Barely nothing, huh?  LOL

This video is genius and encourages me to use the least amount of make-up possible.  A girl should NEVER have to depend solely on beauty products to actually look and feel beautiful.  

Check the video!
