FOTD: Bold Lip with Purple Liner

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are ready for the weekend. I thought that I would kick off this weekend with a Face of the Day. Today's makeup was inspired by this bold lip color that I have been falling in love with. I also wanted to make my brow eyes stand out. Purple liner is a great way to make your brown eyes pop! It can make the brown appear brighter and more lively.

Here is an upclose shot of my eyes today. As you can tell, I only put the liner on my lower waterline. I wanted just a subtle pop of color on the eyes.  Using a colorful liner on the eyes when the rest of the face is neutral is a great way to incorporate color without going overboard.

 The photo to the right was taken in natural lighting without flash. This photo shows what my eyelids actually look like. Having hooded eyes makes it very difficult to see all of the hardwork that I put into my eyes. 

I took a bright shimmer color all over the lid and a medium taupe through the crease. I used a mix of a black and a somewhat purple shade in the outer corner to darken up the eyes just a little bit. I lined my top lash line with black liquid eyeliner. I finished off the eyes with a few coats of mascara.

Products I have wanted to try - Haul

Hello everyone! I am back with a haul of products I have been meaning to try out for a really long time. I finally got around to purchasing a few of these products to try out.

ELF Flat Top Powder brush - I have heard people rave and rave about this brush. For $3 I thought that I may as well go ahead and try it out. I haven't used it yet, but the bristles feel very soft. I don't own any brushes with a flat top, so I am excited to see how it performs. I have heard of people using this brush for foundation, powder, and blush. I will do a review on the brush once I have had time to really try it out.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation - This foundation has really lit up the internet with rave reviews. I have even heard people say it is the best drugstore foundation. With all the reviews, I was itching to try it. I had to return my Revlon Nearly Naked foundation for reasons I will explain in my review of it (coming very soon).

Maybelline Color Tattoos - I think the color tattoos came out about a year ago and since then beauty bloggers have expressed their love for the products. I thought it would be a cool product to try out. I haven't tried cream eyeshadows before. I purchased Electric Blue, Tough as Taupe, and Barely Branded.

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow - I picked up Golden Emerald to try out. The color looked absolutely beautiful and really jumped out at me. These are supposed to be somewhat similar to the color tattoos I just mentioned. By purchasing some of each brand I can really compare them.

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer - I have seen beauty bloggers use this product for a few months now and it has really made me want to try out this concealer. I have heard mixed reviews that it covers under eye circles for some and not for others. I am hunting for a good under eye concealer, so this made me want to give this a try.

I hope you guys enjoyed my little haul of products I have been dying to try. Let me know which products you would like a review on and if you have tried out these products let me know what you think.
