Heeyy guys!

 I'm back to present my first little series here on my blog. And its called Rookie Make Up. 

I'm no where near being an expert make up artist. I've actually only been wearing make up for around 2 or 3 years and I've ALWAYS stayed very simple; mascara, lip product, eyeliner, and maybe some bb cream on a special day. It was only this year that I even started filling in my brows. WOAH right?

So I'm pretty much a baby artist at make up and I hope this series lets me not only get better but you guys can also see how I grow. The look above is one of the few times I've played with eye shadows. And I must say, not bad Chanel, not bad. I was really pleased with the outcome although I don't think I'm brave enough to sport it outside, even though its quite tame haha.

I used a darker matte purple in my crease, a flat matte purple on my lids, a shimmery black on my outer lid, and a light matte purple mixed with matte white shadow in the corner of my eyes for bright eyed effect. I'm all about that bright eyed effect in the corners!

I do need to get better at blending though (I also need to buy proper brushes teehee). And I now understand why all make up gurus yell BLEND BABY BLEND! Cause without blending correctly you just look like you have a big black eye.

Well, I had a lot of fun with this!

Let me know what you guys think of my look here.

Products Used:

Random no name palette from a friend

Nyx Smokey Eye Palette

Today I'm going to be reviewing a product I was really excited about for a while. However, I'm a poor gal and the price kinda turned me off, 13.99 at ulta. But one day I walked into Ulta and it was on sale for 7.99 and I just had to have it. I got the shade 'Bronze Light'.

When I swatched it in the store I literally squealed because it seemed to be what I had been looking for, for a very long time! A GOOD HIGHLIGHTER that could stand on its own. Because I don't like piling a bunch of make up onto my face. Its a liquid based highlighter and it goes on like a beauty. Very smooth, like a baby's booty.

However, when applied to my (bare) face I could barely tell it was even there. So disappointing. One side of my face and the bridge of my nose has the highlighter and the other side doesn't. Its obvious which side has the highlighter but it definitely doesn't have the highlighting quality I was hoping for. Although I did get compliments on how my skin was glowing when I wore this haha. But to me, its just not worth 14 bucks when I can buy cheaper highlighters with better results. Like Wet n Wild's Mega Glow. It may be good for lighter skin tones for a sunkissed glow though.

Overall I would give Revlon's Photoready Skinlight in Bronze Light a 7/10.

Its not so horrible to the point where I won't use it but its not going to give the highlight I want on its own either. I definitely wouldn't purchase it for 14 bucks that's for sure.

Thanks for dropping by!
See you guys in my next post!
