Hey you! SO I'm pretty lazy when it comes to waking up in the morning and will do just about anything to sleep an extra 5 minutes. One solution that I've found is to have my makeup bag packed and ready to go! This way if I don't have time to do my makeup at home, I can always apply some in my car before going into the office! I hope you enjoy my tips on how and what you should pack in your emergency makeup bag, let me know any of your tricks down below! Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember to be safe and be you!
I'm so excited to bring you new things! So I got a new camera and I thought it would be the best time to bring out my new sweet peach palette! I was trying to create a spring look and I feel like it ended up looking more summery...but who cares! Makeup has no rules, do what you want when you want right!? Anyway I'm still learning all about my new camera so it might be a little wacky for a little while but I will back into the swing of things like normal again soon! I hope you like the look and let me know what you want to see next!
Be Safe & Be YOU!

But of course with nicer makeup and some skills that I have picked up since. I hope you enjoy my high school makeup do over!

XO, E.
BEST LUXURY MAKEUP OF 2015
MAC Paint Pot in soft ocher $22
This skin tone cream eyeshadow is the best product I've ever used as an eyeshadow primer! I love it because it creates a clean canvas every time I apply it, it cancels out any pigmentation I have on my lid. It keeps my eyeshadows in place and because it has a slight tint makes them appear a bit brighter. The best way to use it is to set it with a translucent powder or a powder very similar to your skin tone for smooth blending.
If I could only purchase eyeshadows from one brand for the rest of my life it would be ABH eyeshadows. They are richly pigmented and the color selection is unlike any other! Some must have shades for me are, orange soda, sienna, aubergine, morocco, deep plum & buttery. (The shadows shown are from different palettes and I depotted them to create my own custom palette)
Too Faced Hangover RX $32
This face primer is everything to me! It is so hydrating and soothing on the skin! I love it for an extra dewy skin day!
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation $62
This foundation is pricey but well worth it! This foundation is airbrush in a bottle. Every time, without fail that I wear this foundation someone compliments me on my skin. I recommend you ask for a sample next time you're inside Sephora if you don't want to splurge!
MAC Face and Body Foundation $27-$36
This is my absolute favorite foundation! It is a light to light-medium coverage and it has a dewy finish. This foundation offers just enough coverage to even out your skin tone but still looks like skin. If you add a powder foundation on top you will get a medium coverage that still looks like skin so I love it for special event or for every day makeup!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear brow gel $22
Nothing has ever been able to keep my brows in place, until I found this magical product! It is seriously like super glue for your brows!
Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting powder $37 (NCF)
This powder is amazing! It melts into the skin and blurs out any imperfections! I especially love to use it to set my concealer!
The Balm Mary Lou Manizer $24
If you want the most beautiful glow you've ever seen, if you want your highlight to be seen from outer space you need this highlighter! It's beautiful and its like butter on the skin!
Kat Von D Everlasting liquid lipsticks $20
These liquid lipsticks are my favorite because they are not tacky and they don't crumble. The formula is long lasting and the color selection is amazing!
My favorite shades, Vampira & Lolita
Stila Magnificent Metal Eyeshadows $32 (NCF)
These eyeshadows are for sparkle lovers everywhere! The texture is unlike anything else I have tried! They add such a shine to the eye without the mess glitter creates. The are very expensive but I think that if you want some shine without the hassel of glitter I would pick up at least one of these that I would be able to wear all the time, my pick Kitten.
WORST LUXURY MAKEUP
Benefit Hello Flawless Powder Foundation $34
From the moment I applied this to my face I knew I hated it! It looked so cakey no matter how light handed I was. I always had to use extra setting spray to get rid of the powdery look that this powder created. I always felt as thought this powder was really noticeable on my skin so for that reason I really disliked this powder.
bareMinerals Concealer well-rested $18
I really didn't like this powder because it caked up under my eyes, whether I used it on its own or over a liquid concealer. The other major problem I had was that it wouldn't blend into my foundation it is always so noticeable and much to bright for me.
THE END.

**Please excuse me if some of these sentences don't make sense I pulled an all-nighter**
This year is coming to a close and it's time to reflect on the best and worst products that I've tried this year! I decided to break these products into two categories drugstore and luxury. I felt most people prefer drugstore makeup so I decided I would review those first! This year the drugstore game has completely changed. They have really stepped it up in trying to keep up with their luxury competitors. And we have all been benefiting from those riches, am I right!? SO we have lots of products to get through so lets begin! Thanks for tuning in!
BE SAFE & BE YOU!
XO, E.
BEST PRODUCTS OF 2015:
Elf eyelid primer $2
Great for keeping your eyeshadows in place, it has a slight tint to help even out any uneven skin tones on the lids, however it is a bit drying if you have dry eyelids you might not enjoy it as much.
Makeup Revolution Affirmation Palette
Makeup Revolution Unicorn's United
Makeup Revolution Palettes (Affirmation $15,Unicorn's United $10 )
These palettes are incredible for the price! The mattes are beautiful, super pigmented, easy to blend and true to color! As for the shimmer some are hits and some are misses but non the less still really good quality!
NYC liquid eyeliner $3 (NCF)
Rich black matte liquid liner that is easy to use but when it starts to flake you know its time to replace!
(I STATED IN THE VIDEO THAT I WOULD REPURCHASE, BUT THAT WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE SINCE THEY ARE NOT CRUELTY-FREE)
NYX matte liquid liner $7
Intense black matte liquid liner, easy to use and the brush is thin enough for a super thin line or create a really thick liner!
Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara $3
Intense matte black mascara, small brush head that helps get every single lash both top and bottom. But be careful your lashes could get clumpy really fast make sure to keep a lash comb close!
Kiss Lashes All styles $4-$9
These lashes are the most comfortable lashes from the drugstore that I have tried. They are super easy to work with because the band is clear and very pliable so they fit your eyes perfectly!
Pacifica Natural Eye Liner in Fringe $11
This eyeliner has the perfect consistency, it is not too slippery but glides very easily on the waterline. It stays in the waterline without traveling and best of all does not transfer onto contacts!
Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Creme $16
I love this all in one product. It has a very soft and subtle shimmer that makes your skin look dewy but not oily. It's great under foundation or on its own for a non-makeup day.
NYX Dark Circle Corrector $6
If you have dark circles this will be your new best friend! It is a light weight and easy to blend formula that will not cake up under your eyes.
L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid to Powder Foundation shade 328 $10 (NCF)
This foundation is beautiful! It has a demi-matte finish and provides a medium coverage that you could build up to full coverage if needed. This gives your skin such a soft and flawless look.
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer shades 20,25 $6 (NCF)
This concealer is amazing the formula is so thin yet provides great coverage! It's very easy to blend into the skin even if you're not wearing foundation. It does crease slightly if you do not set it with powder.
NYX HD Concealer in Beige $5
This concealer is amazing if you can find the right shade. It has a very light and easy to blend formula. It does crease if not set with a powder.
LA Girl Pro Concealer in creamy beige $3
This concealer is heaven sent! Hands down the best formula I have ever tried! It is rich and creamy and covers everything! The shade selection is incredible! This concealer does not crease on me whatsoever even if I don't set it with powder!
Revlon Nearly Naked Powder shade 30 medium $10 (NCF)
This powder is beautiful! It is very finely milled so it glides on the skin. It doesn't offer too much coverage on it's own but its beautiful on top of foundation for a little more coverage and sets everything in place without caking up!
Milani Baked Bronzer in Sienna (LE) $9
I honestly can not describe how sad I am that this product was limited edition. This bronzer is so beautiful that I can not understand why no one really talked about! It blends onto the skin so effortlessly! This particular shade has some red undertones that are so rare to find in bronzers but look so incredibly natural! I hope Milani does this product justice and brings it back!
Makeup Revolution Ultra Bronzer Palette in All About Bronzed $10
Alternative to the Milani Baked Bronzer in Sienna. This products is great, its not milani bronzer great but very similar. It glides on the skin without skipping or getting muddy. The shade selection in this one palette is great! There are mattes, shimmers, and baked bronzers so there's something for whatever look your going for that day!
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso $6
You need it. That's all I can say. If you don't get it you'll regret it.
Physicians formula shimmer strips $13
OMG! You can use this product for eyeshadows or the most metallic beautiful highlighter!
This product is an all around must have!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray $7
This spray is amazing! It smells like roses and hydrates the skin, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah it gets rid of the powdery look and sets your makeup in place!
Smith's Rosebud Salve $6
This is lip balm is perfect for anyone that has super dry lips but also works for those looking for extra hydration on the lips! I can't live without it!
Wet N Wild Color Icon Lip Liners $0.74-$0.99
I honestly can not express how amazed I am with these lip liners! For a full review please read the following: http://makeuppass.blogspot.com/2015/04/wet-n-wild-coloricon-lipliner-review.html
Jordana Lip Liners $3
These lip liners are great! They are not too soft but glide on the lips and stay in place until you are ready to take them off! Must have shades rock n rose, tawny.
Milani Lipstick, Brillinat Shine Gloss, Amore Matte Lip Cremes $5-$9
Milani lip products for the win this year! Any lip product from milani is amazing, trust me I've tried them all.
WORST PRODUCTS OF 2015
Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation $12
This is the worst foundation I have ever tried in my life! It clings to dry patches, and any imperfection that you might be trying to hide will be put on display with this foundation! My skin looked awful with this foundation, just don't buy it save your money!
Wet n Wild coverall liquid concealer $3
The actual feeling of this concealer is not terrible, it is light weight, cooling and hydrating. However, I believe it is also the downfall of this concealer, as you try to blend this product onto the skin it seems to lift off the skin which is so odd!
Elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder $3
This powder did not work for me which is sad since most people love this powder. My initial reaction to this powder was why does it have glitter? I never understood that, however it did not linger on the skin once own. My biggest problem with this powder was that it would make my concealers crease, which is the opposite of what this product was suppose to do! Also, I have recently noticed that in pictures you can actually see this powder which just boggles my mind since it's transparent. But in pictures you can see it darkening my undereye which is also the opposite of what this product is meant to do!
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder $5
This products is meant to be transparent but it shows up on my skin. It has flashback in pictures. It does not control my shine. If I attempt to use it as a blotting powder it will cake up.
Coty Airspun Loose powder $7
The smell, oh the smell! This powder is actually not so bad at setting your foundation but be prepared to smell like perfume all day! Also has some flashback in photographs.
Maybelline The Nudes palette $10
This palette is perfect for a beginner. The shadows aren't extremely pigmented, once you blend them on the skin they kind of disappear. However, the shimmer shades in this palette are pretty good and pigmented although a bit chalky.
THE END.
