Springtime Makeup

Even though we're still experiencing some April showers at the moment, I decided to put together a spring makeup look today using some of the new cosmetics I've bought recently~ I'm also including some quickie reviews!

It's inspired by springtime pastels and some of the recent makeup trends I've seen in the newest issue of EGG magazine.





EYES
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Too Faced Eyeshadow in Pink Cheeks
Anna Sui Eye Color Duo #05
Avon Professional Kohl Eyeliner in Black
Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Deep Black
Maybelline The Turbo Volum' Express Mascara in Very Black
Shisem Lashes
NYX Flare Bottom Lashes

FACE
Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream in #21
Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Translucent Pressed Powder
MAC Mineralize Blush in Giggly

LIPS
MAC Satin Lipstick in Myth
Anna Sui Lipgloss C #701


Anna Sui Eye Color Duo #05 - This is the perfect eyeshadow duo for spring & summer!  The colors are vibrant & shimmery, they remind me of mermaids~ When used with an eyeshadow primer, they're really long lasting.

Maybelline The Turbo Volum' Express Mascara - I've been extremely disappointed with Maybelline mascaras lately!!  The mascaras that I've been purchasing recently are completely different from the ones I loved and purchased three months ago...even though they have the same name!  I don't know if they've changed their brushes or their formulas, but they're just not the same anymore.  They totally suck!  Now I need to find myself a new mascara, what a bummer...

NYX Flare Bottom Lashes - I've finally gotten around to using these after purchasing them a year ago.  I've been noticing a lighter & more subtle look in some of the gal mags lately, so I tried to recreate it using these little flare lashes.  I'm not really sure how successful I was but I kinda like them!  I have a major gripe about the packaging of these lashes though...not only is the packaging itself just horrible, but they're hardcore glued in so it's impossible to get them out!  I must've ruined about 10 of them just trying to get them out.

Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Translucent Pressed Powder -  I'm really liking this!  Just like it claims, it's absolutely invisible.  It doesn't cake up, and I really think it does a good job at keeping my skin from getting oily throughout the day.

 MAC Mineralize Blush in Giggly - This is a limited edition from MAC's new "Quite Cute" collection.  It's a sheer, happy light pink.  The perfect pink for my skin & for spring!  I might buy a second one~ 

MAC Satin Lipstick in Myth - What a perfect, peachy nude!  I'm in love with this lipstick, it's my favorite at the moment.  It's definitely not the longest-wearing lipstick, but I don't mind reapplying a few times during the day.  It's not drying at all either, which is really great!  It's vanilla scented too~ 

I'm totally ready for spring!

  9. My current mascara is Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes. I usually don't buy the same mascara brand twice in a row since there's always something off about it but this is the first time that I've stuck with a brand! I just bought a new tube of it last week.

    My two cents if you were looking for a new brand to try. :)
