Product Rave/Review: Revlon Lips in Siren

Here is a lipstick that I have been obsessed with for a while now and thought to share it with you in inspiration to one of my favorite beauty gurus (Vintageortacky a.k.a Cora) who just recently did a whole video on how to rock an orange lip. She also did an amazing lip look while doing so that I was so inspired by. It was just gorgeous! I thought I would first share this product with you and tomorrow show you the look using it also inspired by her. Here come the pics!

I think the name Siren is so perfect for this color because of how loud it is. I'm definitely loving this right now and seriously can't think of a single negative thing to say about it which must be a first! The formula is super creamy and light. I would rate this product a 5/5!

Pigmentation- 1/1

Color- 1/1

Lasting- 1/1

Smell- 1/1 (don't notice any)

Packaging- 1/1

Eyes of the Day

Here are a few pics from today's eye look. (My first attempt at a somewhat cut crease.)

What I used: Sleek Oh So Special palette, Cargo eyeliner in Bronze, MAC All That Glitters Shadow, Ulta eyeshadow in Milk Chocolate, MAC False Lashes mascara in False Black (For a quick review on this mascara click here)

I thought this Eye of the Day would be a bit quick show and tell of a simple natural look. I can do a tutorial on it if you guys are interested. Just comment bellow!

Another Huge Thanks to Julia!

So as you guys may have noticed, I've been in the process of giving my blog a little face lift in terms of backgrounds and other displays. Another new change was a brand new beautiful header by Julia of A Chic Dystopia! She has the cutest designs and had done my original header just to be nice, so when I started changing things around, I asked her if she was interested in making me another. She gladly did and it's gorgeous! So, thank you Julia for your phenomenal work!

DIY: Penut Butter

Yesterday I was making a few things that you would think to normally buy including whole wheat bread and PEANUT BUTTER! I love peanut butter on sandwiches, pancakes, chocolate, apples, in ice cream, and basically anything else. I'm also a huge fan of crunchy peanut butter. I decided to go ahead and try to make my own. What you will be needing.....

-1 c salted peanuts
-1 tbsp vegetable oil
-sugar to taste
-food processor

Here's how it can be done.....

Step 1- Add the first 1/2 cup of peanuts into your food processor along with the tbsp of oil.

Step 2- Blend until it starts to get pasty then add the other peanuts.

Step 3- If it is too thin for you, you can add more peanuts.

Step 4- Add sugar to taste.

Step 5- Jar it up and refrigerate it!

Unless you have an amazingly good food processor and you blend it for hours, the peanut butter will turn out a little crunchy which I love! Hope all of you peanut butter freaks found this helpful considering it's so much healthier than, say Skippy which is loaded with bad stuff you don't want on your sandwiches everyday. If you have any requests on DIY's, I would be more than happy to do a little research and make some food to show you all! Just leave it in the comments below!

Sleek Oh So Special Natural Eye Look

Here is the other eye look I promised you guys using my new Oh So Special palette from Sleek. It's a natural eye look with a small winged out liner which is going to be really big this coming season. I loved creating this look and hope you like it just as much as I do! What I used......

-Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Sleek Oh So Special palette
- Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Blackest Black
- MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved
- MAC False Lashes Mascara in False Black (to read a quick review on this click here)

Here's how to achieve this look.....

Step 1- Prime your entire eyelid.

Step 2- Apply Organza from the Sleek palette all over the lid.

Step 3- In the crease and angling down to the outer corner of the lash line, apply Boxed from the Sleek palette.

Step 4- Using the gel liner, create a small winged liner.

Step 4- On the inner corner of the eye using the gel liner, create a point to add a bit of intensity.
Step 5- Go into the waterline with MAC's Powerpoint Pencil in Engraved.
Step 6- Add mascara.

Here's what it should look like when you're all finished:

I love how intense and almost bird-like the liner when your eyes are open and so natural and subtle when closed. It's like a POW! every time you open. As always, you don't need to go out and buy the exact products I used. Match similar ones that you already have to create your own spin on it!

MAC False Lashes Mascara

I've been in need of a new mascara so I stopped by MAC and picked up this one. It's MAC's False Lash in False Black. The packaging is super cute! I'm not quite sure why, but it kinda reminds me of a genie in a bottle.

Did not use eyelash curler.

 This mascara is not super dramatic which is good for everyday use. The only thing negative I have noticed about this mascara is that it can get a bit clumpy, but it's easily fixed. Otherwise, I'm really liking it! Hope you enjoyed and keep an eye out for my new look using the Sleek palette!

Always,
Britta
