Today's look is simple. It's using no eyeshadow just bronzer in the crease. Bronzer used on your crease has been a contour method for years and when you don't want to do anything else I always advise just a touch in the crease for dimension without looking like you have on eyeshadows.

Ok. I seen a before and after of this mascara a few weeks ago on Instagram. (By the way of you aren't following me you need to @lovemascara) The difference was insane. So I'm the perfect candidate because my lashes are minuscule and thin. I constantly wear fake lashes because I literally look like I have none without them. So I'm always down for a mascara that's ACTUALLY going to help me out in that department. I don't want miracles, I just want help. I feel like this accomplishes that. I done several different shots of before and afters so you could see the difference. This is my first time using this so out the gate first time I feel was a success. I can't wait to keep playing with it and perfect it toy standards. This does actually extend the lashes. I wouldn't say you look like you have falsies on at least not for me cause my lashes are super thin but perhaps with some powder over the lashes and a few coats we can get there. I ordered this online at itcosmetics.com and it was $24. If you aren't interested in extensions there is a seperate Hello Lashes mascara in a black tube. The wand is plastic and has the ball applicator at the top which I typically don't use but it was actually really really helpful this time with separating the lashes. So that's my 2 cents. I can't wait to keep playing with it. Very realistic and satisfied results!

As you. An tell Im loving this look. Yesterday was my birthday so since it was my birthday I done a super colorful look. Which always make me happy. Today I'm back with the wearable looks and I chose to be bronzey. Anytime I do bronze makeup I use the Naked Palette from Urban Decay.

This is quite dark but still wearable and neutral. It has a cool toned taupey look to it. Which was actually really interesting considering I didn't use taupe. I done this super fast with 3 colors as Matt and I were leaving to go to dinner. Tomorrow is my birthday so we are going to go eat sushi which is my favorite.

Eyes:

ABH: Violet first half of the lid and Noir outer 3rd. Pink Champagne applied with finger over Violet. This thins it out a lot which is where it started looking very Taupe. I really liked how it turned out though.

This is day two of my Week of Wearable Makeup and yesterday it was as neutral and everyday as it got. Today I'm on the more dramatic side with a super warm look. It coincidentally happens to be matte as well but I wasn't trying to do that. Also added lashes to the look which you do not have to do but I am not blessed with natural lashes so I'm all about falsies.

Yesterday I recieved my order from Lena Lashes. ( ⬅️Insert applause) I ordered them around the 6th and got them yesterday the 27th. I know that's a long time but they were having a sale plus Jaclyn Hill mentioned them in her favorites and I can't even imagine the traffic they were getting from it. But hey, that's excellent for them. They are a relatively small company and in my opinion they done really well with re-stocking and having their product available. However when you're flooded with tens of thousands of orders I can't even fathom the hours you would have to put in to fulfill them. I will say that Marlene always kept me updated on the status of my order and I follow them on Instagram so I seen the shipping updates there as well. I don't mind waiting for good product as long as I know my order hasn't been forgotten which it most definitely was not. I got mine 50% off and I think right now you can get 20% off. They are well worth it. The styles I ordered were "Olivia", "Elle", and "Bianca" which are the ones everyone is going crazy about.

Here Im wearing Elle. They are really natural and not incredibly thick. They remind me so much of the Red Cherry Lashes I love only better quality. Lena lashes are mink and fox. These are subtle but give you that definition you need.

In this picture Im wearing Bianca. These lashes you guys....they are so dense. Almost as if you've stacked pairs of lashes on top of each other. They're so dense in fact that it adds weight to your natural lashes when you wear them. I have no problem with that because they're absolutely gorgeous. However if you're very blessed with thick lashes you may not like the extra weight. These are by far my favorite they aren't too long but they are just perfect for smokey looks and sultry looks. I'm in love. I can't get over them. They are so fluffy but yet soooooo natural looking that it's really a gorgeous set of lashes and I'm completely honest when I say I've never seen a pair out there like them.

I've not tried the Olivia set yet because they're very dramatic and this week Im doing more neutral makeup but I can't wait to get them on. You can order these online from Lena Lashes. Follow them on Instagram for deals and sales they're having. Also if you aren't following me in Instagram please do so (@lovemascara) it's where I'm most active and I love talking to everyone.

This week I'm going to do a week of wearable or neutral looks. I tend to go for more dramatic and colorful looks, I have nothing against neutral looks I just get so tired of them all the time. I realize though that I never really do them and I want to get better about that. So today's look is super neutral and wearable. It's entirely matte and cool toned. As I've said cool toned is incredibly "in" right now. I will say that I prefer a little bit darker but it's still really soft and flattering.

This week my stand out product is Colour Pop Cosmetics eyeshadows. I'm so impressed with these and the ones that are sparkly look like you've applied glitter without the mess or the fall out. I have a whole blog post about them, where to buy them, and how much, so go check that out if you're interested.

Have a good week!

This look is inspired by Valentines Day. I know we usually think of pink and red but I always see a lot of purple and lavendar. It's super dramatic and smokey and very sparkly although no glitter was used. It looks like it though doesn't it?

It's rainy and cold plus they're calling for snow so I'm adding color into this drab day. I know I tend to lean toward color but it's something I'm quite proud of. I don't wear super colorful looks all the time but I love color and I think that certain colors can make your eyes pop as well as other features so I encourage you to find the colors that do that for you and you'll feel the same way.
