Summer Ómbre Eye Tutorial ft. The Naked 2 Palette

Hey Girls!
Right now I am in my car heading to my vacation spot so my posts may not be that great this week. (BTW on my phone it says I posted this on Saturday, but I'm posting this on Sunday.) I took a couple of pictures so I could post on my phone, but like I said, there not going to be anything great. For instance, the pictures may be awkwardly placed, and the font will be different. Also, the pictures aren't great, you can't really see the ómbre. Without further ado, I will get started with the Summer Tutorial. (BTW most of these eyeshadows are from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.)

First I started with crease because I wanted the lid colors to be for vibrant. (You can't really pick it up in the pictures that well :)) So I took UD Suspect (light shimmery brown) and applied that with the fluffy crease brush that comes with the Naked2 Palette. Then to darken it up just a little, I took UD Snakebite (dark shimmery brown) and applied that into my outer crease and thoroughly blended it.

Next, I took MAC All That Glitters (brown with golden/copper shimmers) eyeshadow and applied it to the center of my eyelid using the flat shader side of the Naked2 Palette. Then I took UD Half-Baked (shimmery golden) and applied that to the first 1/4 of the lid closest to the inner corner. After that, I took UD Chopper (shimmery copper) and applied that next the All That Glitters on the outer lid. Finally you're going to blend those eyeshadows for an ómbre effect.

For a browbone highlight, I applied UD Foxy (beige). As for inner corner highlight, I took Stila eyeshadow in Kitten (shimmery champagne-is that how you spell it?) and (you can you an eyeliner brush-but I don't have one) I took the top of the flat shader brush and dipped/ran through the eyshadow and applied it to the inner corner, and then I ran it along my lower lashline. I also took Half-Baked again and applied it to my waterline. For eyeliner, I wanted a really natural look because I know a lot of people don't like wearing a lot of makeup during the Summer. So I took my Smashbox eyeliner in Espresso and lightly lined half of my lash line. Next I curled my eyelashes and then applied two coats of Maybeline's Great Lash BIG mascara.

Hope you enjoyed!

My Makeup Collection & Storage!

Hey Girls!
Today I am doing a pretty exciting post! So far, the month of June has been a great blogging month. I reached 500 page views this month, and received the Laine Blogger Award. I wanted to thank you guys by doing this exciting post! In no way am I trying to brag at all! Also, some of it I bought, some of it I received for my birthday and Christmas. I also get most of my makeup in sets, which is why I have a lot of minis.

I keep my makeup on my dresser where I have my mirror. I know I don't have a lot of makeup to some, but to other's I might have a lot for my age as a young teen. I got this 3-drawer holder I believe at Walmart a while ago, but you could find something similar at your department store I bet.

 On top, I keep a box of tissues in case I get makeup anywhere, or if I sneeze and stuff. In the back in the right hand corner, I keep my EOS Lip balm in Summer Fruit. In front, I have my CVS Pharmacy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment. I like how this matches the tissue box, and plus I also use it more regularly. Next to that is my Sugar Rose Lip Treatment from Fresh.  I also like the looks of this on top, and this product is amazing. Then I have two shells because my room has some beachy related areas. And last, but not least, my B&BW Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel in Berry Twinkle. Again, the colors match and I also really like this one too.

The first drawer contains all my high-end lip products with the exception of my 3 Revlon Lip Sticks/Butters. Starting in the top right, I have 4 MAC Lipglasses that I got for Christmas in the Dazzlesphere from the Glitter & Ice Collection. Mine is in Pink Ornament which has two Dazzleglasses, and two Creemsheens. (Left going Right) The first two Dazzleglasses are in Like Venus and then Rags to Riches. The two Creemsheens are in Fashion Scoop and Petite Indulgence. In the middle is a Philosophy lip gloss that my mom gave me, and it's in the color Vanilla Birthday Cake. After that I have a Lancome Juicy Tube Smoothie in Spring Fling. Lastly, I have a Stila Lip Glaze in Guava. Moving down, I have a Buxom Big (but small because it's a mini) & Healthy Lipstick in Brooklyn (my dog's name!). I then have an Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Naked, a MAC Creemsheen Lipstick in Shy Girl (nude coral), two Revlon Lip Butters- Sweet Tart and Cotton Candy. And finally a Revlon Lipstick in Teak Rose which my mom gave to me ages ago (a cranberry red).

The second drawer is dedicated to face/primers. Starting in the back I have 3 Q-Tips for "emergencies". Then I have Bare Minerals Prime Time, Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Fresh High Noon Fresh Face Glow (cream bronzer), Benefit's Porefessional, and a Maybeline Dream Bouncy Blush in 40 Pink Plum. Going down, I have my MAC Mineralize Concealer (NW15), a MAC Sheertone Blush in Pinch O' Peach (it's a lighter pink than in the picture.) Benefit's Stay Don't Stray, Benefit's High Beam, and a Josie Maran Argan Color Stick in Rosy.

My last drawer is my eye drawer. All the way to the right I have my Naked2 Brush which has a flat shader side and a crease side. Then I have a MAC Paint Pot in Treasure Hunt which I got at a CCO, and in front of that I have a MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Pretty & Prim that I also got at a CCO. Then another MAC Eyeshadow in All That Glitters, Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin, and moving left, a Stila eyeshadow in Kitten. Above that I have my Maybeline Eyelash Curler. I am quite the mascara junkie so yeah, hehe. (Right to Left) I have Benefit's Bad Gal Lash, Fresh Supernova Mascara and underneath a Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! waterproof natural mascara. Then I have two Great Lash mascaras from Maybeline. One is Lots of Lashes, and the other is the BIG kind. After that, I have two eyeliners- a Maybeline Define the Line in Soft Black, and a Sephora Flashy Liner Waterproof eyeliner in 01 Flashy Black.

On the side, I have Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens, a Sonia Kashuk palette in 10 Perfectly Neutral, and a Make Up For Ever lip sample.

And lastly my Naked 2 Palette.

I hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you want a review on any of these products. The one's with the links lead you to the review. Bye! -Kait

My Travel Must-Haves

Hey Girls!
I went away the past weekend and for two nights, leaving on Friday after school. Anyways, I wanted to do a short post on what I brought in my cosmetic bag! First of all, my cosmetic is bag is from Victoria Secret's PINK and the trio set. Unfortunately, they do not have it anymore. :( If you know what I am talking about, I used the middle sized blue one. So here's what I brought:
~Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin
~MAC Eyeshadow in All That Glitters
~Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten (did not end up using)
~EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit
~Urban Decay Naked2 Brush
~Urban Decay Primer Potion
~Maybeline Eyelash Curler
~MAC Mineralize Concealer in NW15
~Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lips, and Lashes

~Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens
~B&BW Anti Bacterial Hand Gel in Cranberry Sauce (not a huge fan of the scent-trying to use it up!)
