Bold Liner and Red Lip Tutorial

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today I am going to share my go to dramatic winged liner and red lip look with you all. Mind you this is a lot of makeup. If you aren't one to wear this much, then this look isn't for
you. I will however, be posting a way more simple and everyday look for people who are looking for a more neutral, natural look. With all that said, let's jump straight into it!

Current Favorites (Benefit, CoverFX, Marc Jacobs and more!)

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie!! Today I wanted to share all of my current beauty favorites. This will encompass makeup, and fragrances. The next post will be my "non-beauty" favorites. I will be posting my room tour and and updated makeup collection/tour video within the next three weeks. If you follow me on instagram, then you would know I am buying new things and moving things around, etc etc. Once that process is over I will be sharing my space with you all. With that being said please be patient; the post will be here soon and I will include dupes or links to all of my decor. For now, we are going to continue with today's blog post. Enjoy!

Let's begin with Fragrances:

• Versace Bright Crystal: I like this scent because it is super fresh and lightweight. It isn't heavy or anything like that. If you know me, then you know I am not into heavy scents and such. So this one is perfection!! According to sephora.com the notes are, Iced Accord, Yuzu, Pomegranate, Peony, Magnolia, Lotus Flower, Acajou, Vegetal Amber, Musk. This is a gorgeous scent. If you are into light, fresh, floral, but fruity scents you will love this perfume! 

• Thierry Mugler's Alien: I am new to the perfume game, so I asked people what fragrances they like and I kept hearing this scent. Alien to me is "sexy", but not too over powering. I find that night time scents can be too much, but this is awesome. Sephora says the notes are, Solar Accord, Jasmine Sambac, Green Notes, Cashmeran, Vanilla, Transparent Amber. This is my current go to night time scent. I highly recommend it!

• Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh: Marc Jacobs perfumes are my favorite. This is always in my collection and I will NEVER go without it. To me it smells like berries and kind of like flowers. The notes are Natural Raspberry, Grapefruit, Pear, Violet, Wild Rose, Apple Blossom, Musks, Cedarwood, Plum.  

• Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange: This smells exactly like what the name says. It is a super citrus-y and bright. I really love it. 

Moving onto brushes and tools:

• MAC 135 Brush: I got this because Desi Perkins was raving about it and then I saw Nikki Tutorials with it and then I was sold. I picked it up and now I am in love. I use this to bronze my skin. It applies bronzer so evenly and softly it looks amazing. It makes me bronzer look like a sunkissed glow and not a bunch of bronzer. 

• Tarte Swirl Power Contour & Bronzer Brush: I really like this because I can use this brush to bronze and contour at the same time. It diffuses the contour, but it creates a defined line at the same time. It is awesome!

• Real Techniques Setting Brush: I got this a few days ago and I am obsessed with it!!! It applies setting powder under my eyes and to the edges of my nose so well. Some brushes set down powder unevenly. This is not too dense so it applies a light, even layer of skin. 

• Morphe M501 Brush: Manny raves about this brush and so does Jaclyn Hill so, I picked it up. This is a highlighting brush, or at least that is what I use it for. It applies highlighter evenly and diffuses the color out all in one motion. I find that it is perfect for concentrating product onto the face. Some brushes are too big or too dense. I am obsessed! I love it! I recently purchased back ups and the should be on their way soon!!

• Black Beauty Blender: This is just a regular beauty blender, but I like that it is darker so it doesn't look as dirty as my pink one. 

• Anastasia Beverly Hills #14 and #12 brow brushes: I like these both equally the only difference is one is bigger than the other. 

Onto Makeup:

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Single Eyeshadows in Fawn, Deep Brown, Sienna, Beauty Mark, and Red Earth. I love the blending power of these shadows along with the pigmentation. These are my go to everyday colors. Fawn is a light tan shade, deep brown is a very deep, cool toned  brown, sienna is a warm reddish brown, Beauty Mark is a deep purple, and Red Earth is a muted red brown shade. 

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette: This is the newest palette that they have come out with. It has 14 colors shades. This palette is beautiful for everyday or for a night out. You can make a smoky eye with this or a fresh everyday look with this palette. The shadows are the same amazing quality as the single shadows. I love this palette. I highly recommend it!

•  Benefit Peek a Bright Eyes and Big Beautiful Eyes Palettes: The shadows in these palettes are so buttery and blendable its insane! I totally recommend these palettes. I love them!!!!

• Urban Decay Naked Basic 2 Palette: I really like this palette because they are so blendable and it is hard to find a pigmented, blendable matte eyeshadow palette. I also like that they are cool toned because I use a lot warm shadows so it is a nice change for me. 

• Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminators: I do have both shades; Gilded Honey and Ballerina. These are super pigmented and gorgeous. I know that there was tons of hype around the Glided Honey shade a few month back and I totally understand the hype. 

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator: This is a pinky purple highlighter. This has the same amount of blend ability and pigmentation of the other Anastasia highlighter I mentioned last month. I love this shade, it is beautiful on medium and deep skin tones. 

• Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Colombia: This is a super pigmented cool toned brown shade. I love this eyeshadow.  This brand is awesome!

• Cover FX Custom Cover Drops: These are pure pigments that are meant to be added directly into foundaton, bb cream, tinted moisturizer, etc. Their purpose is to give more coverage to your favorite base products without disturbing the texture or longevity of the makeup. I am using them with the CoverFX Radiance oil. I really love the finish and the coverage of these two together. I will not go with them EVER. They are my new holygrail base products. 

That's all Folks!! 

Those are my current favorites!   That's all Folks!

End of October Beauty Haul (Anastasia Beverly Hills, Laura Gellar, and More!!!)

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back the The Makeup Junkie!!!

Today's blog post is going to be a haul. I picked up a few new items, so I figured I would share them with you. So, lets jump into it!!

October 2015 Beauty Favorites

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! It's about that time again.... FAVORITES TIME! The past few months I have tried so many products, and I have fallen in love with so many products. So, I figured I would share them all with you. With that said, lets get started!!

Medium Coverage, Satin Finish Foundation Routine!

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today's blog post is going to be a dewy/satin foundation routine. I know I have said time and time again that I am super oily, and I am, but lately I haven't been as oily as I usually am. Which is fine with me. I am now more combo to normal than combo to oily. So I have been embracing more "dewy" foundations. Today I want to share my favorite satin foundation routine with you. Just so you know this is a super high end routine.  It just happened that way. As you all know I love lower end things so don't think for a second I am still using and purchasing new drugstore makeup. I just have these things in my arsenal and I want to use them. I will provide alternatives to every product. Whether it is a drugstore alternative for a higher end product or vice versa. Also, this routine will include my go to highlighter, blushes, and bronzers. I will list the ones I am loving; each product I will list is fantastic and sure fire favorites. With all that said, lets jump straight into it!

Friday Favorites

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to The Makeup Junkie! Today's blog post is going to be another Friday Favorites. I received a few emails from you Dolls saying that you liked the weekly favorites update. I am glad you enjoyed it, I will continue do these as long as you all enjoy them. I can't say I will have one every week. So, without further rambling I will jump right into it!

Review: Makeup Forever Ultra HD Liquid Foundation

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today's blog post is going to be a review on the newest Makeup Forever Foundation. This is going to be a typical review. I like to use mostly bullet point; it makes it easier for you Dolls refer back to make thoughts instead of having to read through several paragraphs of a post. So, lets get started!

HUGE Collective Haul September 2015! (Benefit, NYX, Too Faced and More!)

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today's blog post is going to be a HUGE collective haul. I have been shopping and/or receiving gifts for the last few weeks and it is time to haul everything for you Dolls! This will not be a review, I just want to share each product with you all. So, lets jump straight into it!

Friday Favorites!

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie!!

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite makeup products of the last week or two. So, let's get started!

August 2015 Makeup Favorites

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to The Makeup Junkie! Today I want to share what makeup products I have been loving for the last month or so. So let's get started!

Makeup Storage Tour

Hey Dolls!

Welcome Back to the Makeup Junkie!

Today's post is going to me my highly anticipated makeup storage tour. I have been getting tons of emails and requests regarding how I store my makeup and I finally am ready to show you dolls my storage. It has taken a while because I was having serious camera issues, that have yet to be resolved, so I took pictures. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you all understand! If everything goes well with one of the videos, then I will add it to this post. If not pictures will have to do for now. Again, I am sorry for the super long wait. I promise I won't make the wait that long ever again. Now, with all that said, let's get started!!

P.S. I don't have tons of money, I don't have a whole makeup room, and I am only one person. My collection is not HUGE it is medium sized, but the size works for me. I can't purchase $200.00 vanity mirrors and $400.00 worth of storage units from Pier 1 or Ikea, but I can make my space homey and inviting for me in the terms of my budget. And I do. So, what you will see works for me and my current needs. You don't have to agree or like my set up. I am just sharing this highly requested topic because a lot of the Dolls were curious. I just wanted to say that before you guys read this blog. I just wanted you to keep that in mind. Now I will stop rambling and allow you to enjoy today's post. See you soon!

P.P.S. The link to my storage video is in the non-affiliate links sections at the bottom of the post.
