#colourpop dropout

[meaninginmakeup]

Primers- Studio Perfect Photo Loving Primer by Nyx and Primer Potion in Original Formula by Urban Decay.

Eyeshadow- Gossip from the Wahala Palette by Juvia’s Place above the crease and in the lids, and a little Play by Play (no longer sold) by Colourpop above Gossip to help blend it or since it was a darker color than I thought.

Mascara- Mega Length by Wet N Wild.

Powder- All Nighter by Urban Decay.

Highlighter- none today.

Concealer- Conceal and Define in C3 by Makeup Revolution and Studio Finish in NW15 by Mac.

Setting Spray- Oil Control by Skindinavia.

Lipstick- Dropout by Sugarpill.

So I will have to say in pan the shadow looks different than it applied. I assumed it was a dark gold, but it ended up being this lovely army green with gold reflect. I didn’t swatch before applying bc usually you get what you see with Juvia’s Place shadows, but the Wahala Palette has multiple shadows that are multichromes. It is the center shadow in the second from the top row:

And yes you will be seeing many more looks with shadows from this palette in the future!

Anyway, I like duo/multichromes for days where I’m not feeling great. Throw on one shadow and a matching lip, and you look put together which is great for work calls/meetings.

Happy February!

Now that January is over, I want to share with you what I loved during the month. I usually film a video for this, but considering we’re already in February, a blog post will do! 😆 I have a bit of a variety of things, so here are my top 5 for January! 

Ross 10mm Yoga Mat - When I moved back down to Florida, I had to leave most of my things at my dad’s house since my boyfriend and I are temporarily staying at his mother’s until we build our own home. Long story short, I had to leave my yoga mat. I love doing Blogilates and Yoga with Adriene so I needed to get another one quick. I found this one at Ross for only $13! It’s 10mm thick so it’s super cushioned for my lower back, and actually way longer than my last mat. The colors make me feel calm and I love the way it looks when it’s just rolled up when I’m not using it. 

Lush Percup Massage Bar - I love coffee in my skincare, and when I saw this massage bar at Lush it was almost second nature for me to grab it and buy it. I’m all about taking my time and enjoying the simple act of applying lotion or hair oil, and this definitely adds to the experience. It’s so relaxing to glide this onto my skin in the morning and really gets my mind in a good place for the day. It’s crazy moisturizing and has a subtle scent. I don’t think it smells like coffee, though, it has more of a shea butter scent. You can find similar ones on Etsy like this one here! 

Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip in Dropout - I didn’t think I’d love this shade so much when I bought it, but now it’s a lippie I reach for quite often! Colourpop’s lip gloss formula is amazing. There’s no stickiness or tackiness and the pigment is A+. Some days, I don’t want a full on bold berry lip, so I’ll go for Dropout because it is a perfect balance of edgy and dark yet understated. I think it may also be a dupe for Clinique’s Black Honey (which I loved but stopped using because Clinique isn’t cruelty free.) It’s pretty versatile, too, and can go with lots of different makeup looks.

Hourglass Vanish Finish Foundation Stick in Blanc - This product has changed my makeup life. That might sound a little dramatic, but I’ve struggled A LOT in the past to find base makeup that’s light enough for me. I have the lightest shade in the range, and I am in love with everything from the color to the blend-ability and finish. I don’t actually wear foundation, but I purchased this to use as a concealer instead. It can be built up to your desired coverage and is so smooth looking on the skin. I apply it with my fingers and use tapping and light wiping motions. It is quite pricey, but considering how little I use and how incredible it is overall, I say it’s worth every penny!

Olivia Emily - Okay, is it weird to have a person as a monthly favorite? 😆 Seriously though, this lovely lady has been major aesthetic and style inspiration for me, and her Instagram is mesmerizing. The way I see it, she has a dark, feminine, edgy, and unique style (an alternative Amy Pond, maybe?) She’s also part of the reason why I want my hair color more on the warmer side. All in all, you should go follow her on her social media sites. You can thank me later. 

What did you guys love the most in January? I always love discovering new things and people! I hope you have a lovely day and thank you for reading ❤︎

So my mom came in this day to say, “You don’t have to get all made up for grandma.” I went, “Too late!” and her response was, “I see that...” I already had my mascara and eyeshadow on lol. Since it was basically two colors it was a really fast look and I didn’t do brows. But I was dealing with some pimples so I used some foundation. Anyway, I really loved this shadow combo. You all know I adore my duochromes haha. And of course the lipstick matches perfectly since it’s an olive green with gold glitter.

My Current Makeup Delight: Sheered-Out, Subtle Dark Lipsticks. 

For the past several months, I’ve been IN LOVE with tinted dark lips. I’d have to be getting dressed up to be in the mood for a super opaque dark lipstick, like black or dark purple. More often I’ll sway towards burgundy, blood-red, or burnt orange. On a regular basis, I have a few products that I rotate between that I feel go with any makeup look, outfit, or mood I have for the day, and I want to share them with you!

Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip in Dropout. My love for this lippie runs deep. It is so easy to wear, and gives off a dark chocolate raspberry color once I blend it out. It almost looks like a natural lip color, but not quite, since it gives my lips that edge of darkness. 

Colourpop Ultra Blotted Lip in Lolly. This one made its way into my heart after I saw the wine-toned sheerness it has. The whole line was designed to give you a “popsicle pout”, like the lovely tint your lips get after you eat a lolly or popsicle. It has a reddish undertone and a matte finish, so I always make sure to wear a lip balm underneath so I can blend it in. 

NYX Butter Lipstick in Ripe Berry. The most red-toned of the lippies here, this has a super creamy and soft feel while giving a rich dark raspberry color. I like to wear this when I’m going for a brighter look, since it’s not as dark as the others. 

NYX Butter Gloss in Devil’s Food Cake. I’m sure lots of you already know how amazing the NYX Butter Gloss smells, but if you don’t, it smells like delicious sweet dessert. This one is a gorgeous deep burgundy that leans toward purple. As with all of the other Butter Gloss colors, the pigment is amazing. 

Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Villain. The darkest and most purple of the bunch, this one definitely lives up to its name. It’s a true blackened grape color. Since it’s so dark, I have to blend it out with a lip balm to make sure it doesn’t go on too opaque. 

These have been my favorite lippies as of late because they all give me that dark edge to my makeup without being too bold. They all vary in tone and finish, so I always have something to work with whether my makeup is cool or warm toned for the day. Some others I want to try are Martyr’s Blood by Necromancy Cosmetica, Vamp it Up by Wet n Wild, and Jam by Glossier.  So what do you think about this current makeup obsession of mine? Do you like to sheer out your lipsticks or go super bold? Let me know in the comments, and thank you for reading! ☺️ P.S. I took photos wearing the lipsticks, but they somehow seemed to look the same on camera, so I decided not to include them, sorry! 😅

My favorite “no makeup” makeup products

This past weekend my boyfriend Joel and I were out the door early (Saturday he took me to this amazing healthy breakfast/brunch place, and Sunday we went to the local farmers market) and I wanted to look fresh faced and dewy but didn’t want to spend 20 minutes on my makeup. I think I have found my go-to no-makeup makeup products and I’d like to share them with you!

IT Cosmetics Universal Brow Power. I switched back to this in place of my Colourpop brow pencil in Black since I started going lighter with my hair. I love how easy it is to apply and how it isn’t too creamy yet it’s not too waxy. It doesn’t have the typical point that other pencils have; it’s wide and flat which makes filling in my brows so easy and quick. I use it pretty much every day!

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye in Light. This stuff is my dark circle savior. It’s incredibly pigmented, but I still use a tiny amount on my natural makeup days since it covers my dark circles perfectly but doesn’t make me look like I’m wearing makeup. It brightens my under eyes AMAZINGLY with the smallest amount of product. My dark circles are pretty intense so even on “natural” days I still like to cover them up.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Aquacealer in Fair. This one is for all of the beauties who don’t wear foundation but still want to even out their skin tone. I have a wee bit of redness that I like to even out, and on the days that I just want a sheer look, I’ll go for this. It has a very watery consistency and blends so easily with just my ring finger. This concealer definitely helps me get that dewy, radiant look I’m going for while still giving me a little bit of coverage. Hourglass Vanish Finish Foundation Stick in Blanc. I’m adding this into #3 because I use this just as often as the Aquacealer. In fact, I actually use the Hourglass stick more often, because it’s lighter and more brightening. I wrote about this in my last favorites post (:

100% Pure Mascara in Black Tea. I take my mascara seriously, which means I’m pretty picky with ingredients and pigment. This one is made of things like green tea leaf extract, vitamin E, thyme, cocoa seed butter, and so much more. I love that it’s pigmented with black tea (and maybe also iron oxides, which are completely safe and non-toxic.) Not only does it make my lashes super black but it also conditions and nourishes them, too! 

Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip in Dropout. This lip gloss unexpectedly became my go-to lip product. The sheer chocolate raspberry color complements my natural lip color and skin tone, and can be built up for a more opaque look. It can be worn with natural or dramatic makeup, so it’s super versatile! I love that it’s a subtle vampy color so I can tap into my dark enchantress any time of day. What? I can’t be the only one who does that. . . .

Blush (Color depends on my mood). I love blush (hence my online name 😛) so even on my natural makeup days or even for my simple work makeup, I’ll put on some blush. What I wear really depends on my mood and even what I’m wearing. Most of the time I’ll go for my Becca Blushed with Light Palette, Colourpop blushes, or TheBalm How About Them Apples lip and cheek palette. To me, blush can really tie together a natural makeup look, and help add a little variety to my day to day look!

As much as I love eyeshadow and liner, sometimes it’s nice to go with a natural look and not spend too much time doing my makeup. I also don’t like to restrict myself to one style of makeup- I love doing dramatic and simple looks alike! I’d love to hear about your favorite makeup products are for natural days!, so let me know in the comments! Thank you for reading and have a lovely day 💚
