What I put on my face. Vol. 2


Whats happening everyone?

Well I did a post a few months back about the products I use on my face. Well most of that has changed, because I love trying new things out. So mostly everything has changed, and that's what I'm going to talk about today!



So for foundation, I went for a more high end product. I have used to MAC Face and Body foundation before, I like it, but didn't completely love it. So I was still on a hunt for a great one. And as you all know I'm a big Chanel fan. My friend Brooke works at a Chanel counter in my local Dillards. So occasionally I go there for a makeover, and she introduces me to some of my new favorite products. Thats why when I go anywhere to buy makeup, and they offer assistance(any makeup counter,Ulta, Sephora,etc) I always ask for recommendations. 
She introduced me to this Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. A lot of my favorite beauty bloggers talk so highly of this product, so it was worth a shot. It has a nice coverage, that in my opinion isn't so heavy and cakey. You can buff it into your skill easily, making a nice natural look.
                       



So I bought this when I was in Denver. I was on vacation, and was going to a concert the next day. So of course my skin decided wage a war against me that weekend. So I went into sephora and asked for a good heavy duty concealer that will make them go away. And of course makeup isn't magic. But this concealer was pretty close. Covering my spots easily, and didn't ware off as easily as others usually do. So yes, I recommend this Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer.



This concealer is what I use under my eyes. I mean the name is Wake Me Up. So duh I use it for my dark circles under my eyes. And my personal opinion on under eye make up, is a liquid concealer, otherwise it will look cakey. Thats bad. Easy build able coverage that is nice for nice for the under eye.


 So I've just started using bronzer. Which for the longest time for me was something that I imagined as a bad idea(I'm so pale, that if a ghost and a clown had a baby, it would be me). But I've been trying it out. Obviously I don't pack it on, so I lightly dust it around my temples,cheekbones,chin,down the nose,  and on my jawline. I use the Nars Laguna bronzer. A huge fan favorite for a very long time. And now I'm a massive fan of this product as well.

 Now we are moving on to the eyes. I switch between a liquid liner and a gel. Both from NYX.
The liquid is the Super Skinny Marker. Easy as it looks(relatively speaking, because liquid liner IS SO HARD TO PUT ON AHHHHGHGHG). The felt tip pen makes it a dream to apply, and also not as messy as other liquid liners tend to be. I usually have to build it up, which means applying, applying, and applying. But that way you can make your look as dramatic as you like.

I also use this gel liner from NYX for when I'm being super dramatic. Color lasts for ages, even is your skin is oily(yes, eyelids get oily too). Over all, great gel liner. And both liners are a bargain. NYX is a great cheap brand that you can find at your local drugstore.

So I've been wanting to try this mascara for ages. With a name like Better Than Sex, who wouldn't be tempted? This Too Faced product kills it. Makes lashes voluptuous, long, and dramatic if needed. I usually apply a few coats in order to get the look I like. But you have to wait for each coat to dry before you apply another. So if you want sexy lashes, I highly recommend this product for you.


 Ooooooh now my favorite part. Lips. So I wear a lot of lipstick, never been a lipgloss girl. Especially when I live in West Texas where the wind blows 4 different directions, you end up with hair,dirt,and small children stuck to your lips. So I stick with these 3 lipsticks on a day to day basis. I love Chanel, MAC, and any drugstore brand. I just really like lipstick guys.

Chanel "Arthur"

Chanel "Pirate"

MAC "Patisserie"



Let me know if you guys found this interesting,cool,stupid, or whatever you think. 
Hope you all have a wonderful week!

90's and New Hair.


Hello everyone,

How have ya been? Well I just got back from Denver ,CO. It was amazing, so sad to be back. But what can ya do? And when I returned, I made a few changes. As you can tell I went for platinum locks, and chopped a few inches off. And it feels AMAZING. I love some change, and I've been wanting to do this with my hair for months. And I'm so happy with the way it came out. And with the new locks and all the shopping I did in Denver, I figured I could do a little outfit post. So here it is.





I bought this dress in Urban Outfitters in Denver. Whenever I travel, I always make my way into an urban, or I'm always shopping on their website. Safe to say that I love that place. 
This dress makes me feel like a 90's Supermodel. It's comfy, long, and revealing in all the right places. I also love the color that looks great with all hair colors(I used to be a redhead, so i pay attention to these things). I paired it with these Steve Madden sandals. They are brown and strappy, could be paired with jeans and a tee shirt, or a dress. A pretty universal shoe that I will wear until they fall apart. And my Ray ban Club masters. I love these sunglasses so much. I will always go back to these. I'm a sunglass addict. I usually have a pair on, and carry about two pairs with me at all times. So I'm serious about sunglasses. And these are probably my all time favorite pair. And another staple is this Deena and Ozzy bag. Roomie, easy to pair, simple, and classic. Ace bag.


Until next time folks, 
Kacie
