FOTD 7/7/11.... I'm a Funky Punk Today!

Hello Beauties!
So I am day late, but I was doing hair yesterday so I was a little tied up! But I am posting my fun, funky Punk Funk Look from yesterday! Check out this bright fun look!

I love the pop of blue....

WOooHOooOO

This is probably really dramatic... but I loved it!

FYI for those who have asked... those are my lashes I own no fake lashes!

I had a crease... I fixed it after this picture!

FACE:

• I started with Neutorgena Oil Free Moisturizer with SPF 35
• I used a new primer today... MILK OF MAGNESIA!!!!!! I will have a review of this SOON!!!
• I used elf's Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige under the eyes and on the blemishes
• Next I applied Rimmel's Lasting Finish Foundation in True Ivory (Using elf Powder Brush)
• I set everything with elf's Mineral Booster in Sheer (Applied with elf Stipple Brush)

CHEEKS:

• I used elf's Contouring Blush and Bronzer
• On the cheeks I used the Blush (Applied with elf's Complexion Brush)
• I contoured using the Bronzer (Applied with a contour brush)

EYES:

• I applied elf's Eyelid Primer all over the lid
• Then I applied elf Eyeshadow Cream Duo in Black Licorice (Only the SLIVER) all over the lid and blended slightly into the crease
• ALL OF THE COLOR ON THE LID IS FROM ELF'S EYE BRIGHTENING QUAD IN PUNK FUNK
• I took the pink of this quad and packed it on the inner half of the lid (Applied using the elf Professional Eyeshadow Brush)
• Then I cleaned off the brush and used it in the purple of this quad and packed that all over the outer half of the lid
• Then I took my elf Professional Eye Blending Brush and blended the two colors together to get rid of the harsh lines!
• Next, I used the blue from the quad as a definer and outer V shade and BLENDED BLENDED BLENDED (I used the elf Professional Eye Crease Brush)
• Then I used the whitish color from the quad to highlight the browbone and the inner corner. (No branded, just a flat soft brush...)
• I then tightlined using elf's Cream Eyeliner in black, while making it thicker on the outer corner then the inner corner (elf Professional Eyeliner Brush)
• I used Milani's Liquif'Eye Liner in Aqua for my waterline, going from the outer corner and halway in.
• Then I curled my lashes and applied L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Soft Black

LIPS:

• elf HyperShine Lipgloss in Fairy

And that's it... Hope you like my crazy fun look!

My Target & Big Lots Haul!!!! elf, Wet n Wild, Rimmel!!!

So, I have a Haul today!! Keep reading beauties!

So, first up is the elf Beauty Book! I have been messing around with the idea of a whole palette of neutrals for a while, and $4.50 was a lot better then the Naked palette for $42!

elf's Beauty Book Neutral Eye Edition

 

 

 

 

They're all nicely pigmented and blend beautifully!

Next we have elf's Eye Brightening Quad in Punk Funk! Can't have just neutrals here!!! ($1)

No base or primer, just straight from the quad...

Next, we have elf's Studio Blush in Candid Coral

I love this packaging!

Beautiful Color & Shimmer

So this swatch does not do this color justice it is BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

 

Next, we half elf's Contouring Blush & Bronzer! I have been so excited to buy this because everyone says it's a dupe for NARS Orgasm & Laguna (?) And I LOVE Orgasm.... and I must say I think it's a decent dupe!

I love the NARS like packaging too!

So pretty!!!!!!

Once again, the swatch provides little justice for the beautiful color!

Next, we have elf's lipstick in Classy!

I'm not so hot on this packaging... a little cheap... But it was only a $1!

I liked a little more out of the plastic... but still UGH about it!

I'm in love with this beautiful pinky color! I cannot wait to wear it!

Next, we have the elf Complexion Brush!

I love this brush for blush!

It's so SOFT!

 

Next, we have the Concealer Brush... 

Do I need to explain this one?

Next, we have the elf Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara

This is pretty simple too.. LOL!

Next we have elf's Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 in Honey Do

So pretty!

I love this color!

Last elf product I swear! Lol, elf's Brush Shampoo

I cannot wait to see how this cleans my brushes!

Next, I picked up L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original in Soft Balck

I have nothing really to say because I haven't tried it yet... But I am looking forward to seeing how it works

Brush seems promising!

Next, something from Rimmel! Rimmel's (new?) Glam'Eyes Mascara in Black

Claims to be ultra voluminous high definition mascara!

I'm in LUV with this brush!

And the packaging is so adorbs!

LOVE IT!

Next we have a couple Wet n Wild products, starting with Wet n Wild's Cream Liner

And then 2 Wet n Wild Wild Shine Lipsticks

They came together, with no actual names or numbers on them... but I found them at Big Lots!

This is the darker red

It goes on nicely!

Pretty dark pink!

Lalalla!

 

So, that's it... well I bought a moisturizer too but I will share that when I review it!

Ok, so I know there are mixed reviews out here on the internet about these eyeshadow duos. I got them for bases under my eyeshadows, and to be honest, this swatch you are seeing on my hand for about 2 hours, I have tried to crease them... they won't crease!
