Money-Saving Makeup Monday: Spicy Summer

Hello my glamorous friends! I've decided to start getting organized
and keep this blog updated 5 days a week with some of my favorite
looks, outfits, art, and tutorials, etc. I will still be throwing
in some reviews on those days as well.
 
Here is my schedule:
Monday- 'Money Saving Makeup Monday'
Featuring affordable drugstore products that really save you extra cash but are high quality.
Tuesday- 'Tutorial Tuesday'
Featuring a video tutorial either of makeup, hair, diy, or whatever else I can think of.
Wednesday- Wardrobe Wednesday
Featuring an outfit, shoes, etc. or wardrobe staples that you must have in your closet.
Thursday- 'Two-Faced Thursday'
Featuring day to night makeup looks with how to tricks and tips.
Friday-'Fierce Friday'
Featuring dramatic and glamorous look/hair/nails/makeup/outfit

 
Today I am sharing some really amazing mineral eyeshadows and lipstick. These products are so cheap but the color payout is out of this world.
I used all of these products for my look today as well as a pair of eyelashes I found at big lots for $2.
These products range from $1 to $6. They are all vibrant and longlasting as anything else you might find. It's all in the way you use it. ;)
 





 
E.L.F. has these amazing loose mineral eyeshadows that are very beautiful and long lasting. I ended up catching a deal on the website that if you purchase $25 you get 10 free full sized eyeshadows! I was sold, you really can't beat that kind of deal. I was pleasantly surprised in the amount of shadow you get, the colors, and just how sparkly and beautiful they are. They normally are $3 each, which you can't find that good of a deal anywhere that I know of. Definatly worth a try, I love them all!

Jordana has amazing products as well. I find these products at Dollar General and Walgreens.
I actually have every lipstick shade they carry because their shades are so unique and at $1 each, you can't beat that. They also carry matte lipsticks, but the main shades are shimmery and glossy shades ranging from vibrant to sheer. I can't live without my Jordana lipsticks!
This one is Amber, a vibrant shimmery orange.  


 
 I hope you enjoyed today's look! Have a glamorous day and come back soon!

Stay Glamorous,

I swatched them with E.L.F. eye primer as the base.
 



Haliai- a super sparkly medium pink
Ruby- a super sparkly pinkish red
Bombshell- a super sparkly orangey red
Peach Twist- a super sparkly pinky orange
Fireworks- a super sparkly orangey gold
Sunshine- a super sparkly vivid yellow
Spruce- a super sparkly light green
Mermaid- a super sparkly medium green
Sonic- a super sparkly medium blue
Royal- a super sparkly medium violet

LOTD & OOTD: Triple Feature

 
 
I've had a lot of fun creating looks and outfits over the past few days.
Dressing my pregnant body has been a bit of challenge but I love a challenge!!
I love this time in my life and thought why wear boring maternity clothes when I can just buy clothes that are bigger and then I can alter them post partum.
I mostly thrift shop, because I like that unique find, nothing worse then showing up
to an event and matching 2 or 3 other people.
The styles I am sharing do NOT have to only be for those that are pregnant.
These outfit combos will look great without the belly. ;)
When looking for things to wear, don't try to copy the look exactly by buying those exact pieces, you can always find colors, textures, or prints that are similar to create your own style.
Your closet could be hiding the new favorite outfit. ;)
 
 
Outfit 1:
Neutrals like tan and brown are great colors that will look good with anything you may decide to wear. Here I added them as my shoes, belt, and bag. I felt like the light green and gold jewelry really added that extra touch I was looking for without going overboard on color. The animal print belt is the 'staple' piece in this outfit. It will go with every dress or skirt I have in my closet. The skinny belt is a great way to 'hide' a larger midsection by breaking up the single color of the dress and giving the illusion of flattering porportions. You wouldn't really know I was pregnant unless you seen me from the side or I told you. ;)
 
 
 Makeup Look 1:
This is a more natural casual look for me, I did feel absolutly beautiful though. I still added a bit of glitter for sparkle and the glam effect. Smokey eyes do not always have to be using black and white. Here I used a combo of gray, light green, and bronze to create the same effect.
My Beauty Addiction
Shadows: Dewdrops/Antique/Warm Bronze
Glitter: Honeydew
Bronzer: Goddess
Dazzle Dust: Diamond
Color Rich Lipsticks: Candy Baby/Bare
Round Tapered Brush
6pc Brush Set

                                             www.etsy.com/shop/mybeautyaddiction
 
Outfit 2:
When wearing bright colors I like to make it not so matchy by adding a neutral color like black. Here I did it with my shoes, bag, and jewelry, but added a bit more color with the hair flower for that summertime feel. Printed dresses are a great way to propotion a larger mid section. This paisley print will play with the eyes, not making the belly so obvious. I love a maxi dress in the summer.  
 
 Makeup Look 2:
I went dramatic for this look but skipped the liquid top eyeliner that I usually like to wear. Yellows, reds, and oranges are the colors of summer and just so happen to
look amazing on a pair of brown eyes. ;)
Shadows: Lava Flow/Beach Bum/Island Sunshine/Papaya Punch/Aloha Rose
Glitter: Bubblegum
Bronzer: Goddess
Dazzle Dust: Glisten
Color Rich Lipstick DUO compact: Bare/Lovespell
Liquid Mineral Foundation: 3W
Round Tapered Brush
6pc Brush Set
 
Outfit 3:
Matchy but not too matchy is what I was going for here. You don't always need to have the exact colors in the main piece to create an outfit. Here I added the green wedges and a necklace with green in it to add more color to this simple tank and floral skirt. It really worked out and looked very pulled together. I added the neutral fedora for that summertime feel. A purple bag and bracelt where just the extra pops of color this outfit needed. Casually cool.  
 
 Makeup Look 3:
I really played with color here, this is probably one of my favorite looks I have created.
These colors go together so well!!
Shadows: Lucky/I.Q./Kiwi Kiss/Delirious/Angel Wings
Glitter: Cozumel
Bronzer: Goddess
Dazzle Dust: Glimmer
Color Rich Lipstick: Candy Baby
Sugar Babies Lip Glaze: Bubblegum
Liquid Mineral Foundation: 3W
Round Tapered Brush
6pc Brush Set
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this post, it was fun to create! I will be doing a full 'maternity' outfit looks post when my pregnancy is over, as well as how I get back into shape, so come back soon. :) Have a Glamorous day!!
 
Stay Glamorous,

They carry a wide variety of loose eye shadows , blushes,  lip gloss’, loose face powders, foundation sticks, and concealer. Right now they carry a few accessories and flat irons as well.

They can be found on their website http://glamorouschickscosmetics.com/ Twitter and Facebook.

 I received my products in a timely manner through usps. Everything was safe and secure inside the bubble wrap envelope. I received 2 loose eye shadow pigments.

They have  a wonderful offer with a $15 purchase you will recieve a FREE Eyeshadow but you must enter the CODE: GLAMCHICK at checkout.
Banana –Shimmery yellow pigment
Dark Rose – Shimmery metallic red/brown powder
 I swatched them with E.L.F. eye primer as the base. They are very smooth and blendable.
These shades remind me of a sunflower, they are longlasting and vibrant. They can be worn subtly or dramatically. They do come with a sifter lid, I removed it to show the pigment colors. They also have the ingrediants, name, and item number on the bottom of the shades.

Their pigments can be used in a  variety of ways.

imPRESS Press-On Manicure


 I tested out these new nail products, imPRESS press-on manicure set.
This set it called FIRE HOT.
 You get a variety of sizes of nails, prep pad, and mini nail file.
 This product is SOOO easy!! It has glue on the back already!
 Clean your nails with the prep pad.
 File your nails with the nail file.
 Remove the little tab on the backs and press on.
DONE! I LOVE them, such bright colors and nothing like the old school press-on nails,
they really last and don't feel like they are going to fall off.
I'll definately try another style soon.
 
Stay Glamorous,
xo Lindsay

Nicole Richie Met Gala 2013 Inspired Look

First of all, I love Nicole Richie and I personally think all her makeup, hair, and fashion looks are so flawless. Her latest look for the Met Gala a couple days ago was absolutly perfect for the events theme: Chaos to Couture. This event is a chance for celebs and designers to show off their edgy side.
 
Here is Nicole's Look:


I love the darker toned lips, with the simply pretty natural eye makeup and glistening skin. The bold "chalk" colored hair is the absolute perfect 'couture' touch. I had to recreate this look on myself.
Here is my inspired look:
 



 
I used the following products for my makeup:
My Beauty Addiction
Shadows: Linen/Beach Bum/Hawaiian Tropics
Glitter: Fairy Dust
Shadow Poxy
Lipstick: Cranberry
Sugar Babies: Cranberry
Bronzer: Goddess
Illuminzer
Dazzle Dust: Diamond

 I have to say I felt super hollywood glam when I was done even with the 'chalk' colored hair.
Stay Glamorous,
xo Lindsay
