10 minute face

So I was running late for an appointment today and set a goal to do my face in 10 minutes. Since my recent brow waxing mishap, I have a little work to do on these bad boys during makeup application...therefore a 5 minute face is out of the question. Here is what I came up with:








FACE:
Rimmel Primer
Lancome concealer for under eye circles
MAC MSF Natural
NYC bronzer in Terracotta Tan
Nars blush in Angelika applied lightly with a fan brush
ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Warm Tan to highlight cheekbones

EYES:
Random natural shimmer shadow
Maybelline Great Lash
NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk on waterline ---> FAIL! I hate the way this looks!!!

LIPS:
NYX lipgloss in Juicy Red


HAIR:
twist out on damp hair, separated and fluffed. held off my face with an ouchless headband


What is your go-to 5 (or 10) minute routine?

Tanned & Bronzed

Hi Beauties!!!
I'm back from the beach with a little tan and alot of NYC bronzer! My weekend at the beach was super relaxing...hopefully I will have time to get back to the beach in the next 2 weeks before I start my new job!

I'm wearing MAC tinted moisturizer, NYC bronzer, MAC Petticoat MSF with MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick. On the eyes I'm rocking Urban Decay's Book of Shadows (Scratch, Underground, and Zero).

What I'm Loving....

Currently I am loving a white waterline! It really brightens up the eye area. I've been rocking it alot lately.







Abandoned Urban Decay palette

I did this look a few weeks ago...I cant remember everything I used on my face but for my eyes I broke out an old Urban Decay palette that I haven't used in a forever. I used Scratch, Fishnet, and Ransom. I used a NYC white eyeliner on my waterline and Maybelline Great Lash mascara.

I tried to crop out the head scarf!
