WEDNESDAY'S FACE OF THE DAY!!!

Hola Chicas!  So, I'm a giveaway hound on Instagram, and a few of them require that you create a makeup look as an additional entry.  I just wanted to share the look that I created for the contest, and what I used to achieve the look!

Ok, so I saw this palette that someone was selling on Instagram, and it looked really interesting, however, the price they were selling it for wasn't that interesting to me. So, being the resourceful chick that I am, I searched for it and found it way cheaper on EBay!!! 

 It doesn't have a brand name, but it's listed as "30 matte color eyeshadow palette" and the colors are gorgeous, smooth and super pigmented.  I would say that this palette is as good as, if not better, than a lot of high-end makeup companies out there! The seller's name on EBay is Lifeng201010, and here's the best part...the palette is only 16.99 with FREE SHIPPING!!! 

In the picture below, I've swatched the first three duos, just to show you how pigmented these eyeshadows are.  Each are swatched with a dry brush and no base.

Awesome color payoff!  Any makeup lover in their right mind would jump at the chance to own this palette!  As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind having another one for my birthday, I'm considering purchasing another one as back up, lol!  Be sure to grab one before their all gone guys and dolls!  Until then, stay beautiful! ;-)

TUESDAY'S FACE OF THE DAY!!!

Hola Chicas!  I just wanted to share a look I did with some fabulous pigments from Unique Styles Boutique! I received a few samples from a good friend of mine on Instagram  (Ashley, aka @free_makeup, go check her out!) They were so gorgeous, I couldn't wait to use them!

For this look I used That Chick on my lid, Mocha in and above my crease and Black Beauty on the outer corner of my eye.  (I used a random matte white shadow under my browbone.) I must say I love these pigments!  They were smooth textured and easy to blend, and you can see for yourself that they are very pigmented!  A little bit goes a very long way!  A  big "must have" for any MUA, or makeup enthusiast to add to their collection!  She has lots of colors and items available and her prices are awesome, so go check Judith out on Facebook today, the link to her page is located above...or you can use the link below to make a purchase today!  Be sure to tell her Platinumdoll74 from Instagram sent ya!  Until then, stay beautiful! ;-)

SUNDAY'S FACE OF THE DAY!!!

Hola Chicas!  I know it's been a while since I've posted a look, so I wanted to share what I did last night, and the products I used to achieve it!  I tried a few new things I've never used before, so I will be providing swatches and my opinion on those as well!

I with this look I wanted to try something softer and more everyday wearable than the looks that I usually post.  To achieve this look,  I used my new Wet and Wild eyeshadow palette in Petal Pusher. (pictured below)

I also used my usual products for my highlight, foundation and contour, but this time around I tried a new blush and lippies!  Someone on Instagram suggested that I try the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush, (I got it in Hot Tamale) and I really like it!  I love the sheer wash of color it gives your cheeks, just enough color for a fresh, Spring glow!  I also tried the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Blissful Berry and Cover Girl Color Whisper in Oh La Lilac for the first time!  (swatches below)

From top to bottom: Maybelline Bouncy Blush in Hot Tamale, Maybelline  lipstick in Blissful Berry, and Cover Girl Color Whisper in Oh La Lilac

I already owned a few Color Whispers in different shades, but I saw the Oh La Lilac on someone on Instagram and wanted to give it a try.  I thought that it would be a pretty color for Spring!  Turns out, it was way too light for my complexion by itself (made me look like a crackhead!) but when I combined it with a darker shade of plum, it looked great!  Both lippies are very pigmented and moisturizing to the lips and go on smooth and creamy.  I still think the Oh La Lilac is a gorgeous shade to own, but for darker complected women, be sure to use a dark lipliner with it. :-)

And that's basically it!  Be sure to check out my giveaway on Instagram in honor of my daughter's second birthday, there will be three fabulous prizes to win, ends on the 24th at midnight, hurry to enter now!  Until then, stay beautiful! ;-)

SATURDAY'S OUTFIT OF THE DAY! 

Hola Chicas!  I know I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy planning my daughter's birthday party and running my giveaway on Instagram...have you entered yet?  If not, click here!  

Today's outfit of the day is being modeled by my lovely mother!

I caught her on her way out the door to run some errands, doesn't she look great?  I saw this super cute top by the Moda Clothing line on the Walmart.com website and had to get one for her and myself!  I love the relaxed style and swingy handkerchief hemline.  Also the diagonal stripes are very forgiving, it's just a fun, easy style to wear, perfect for warmer weather!  And here's the best part, THE TOP WAS ONLY $11.88!!!  Yes honey! Style on a budget, you can't beat that!

Her adorable faux leather leggings she found at her favorite website, Roamans.com.  They are currently on clearance for $18.86, but unfortunately, the only colors they have left are black and brown.  They have a good stretch and are a very comfy fit, not to mention fun, fashionable and a little bit sexy! Her shoes (not pictured) were just a casual pair of comfy black flats from Payless.  I'm trying to get her into a pair of kitten heels from time to time, lol!  Her makeup was done by yours truly! :-)

And that's basically it!  I'm so far behind on blogging and talking about the stuff I got to test from Influenster, yall don't be too mad at me, ok?  I will post my reviews on that stuff as soon as I can, until then, stay beautiful!  ;-)
