LOTD: Laura Geller's Baked ImPRESSions Eye Palette

This is Laura Geller's Baked ImPRESSions Eye Palette in Iced Berry Blend:

I bought it off of HauteLook and thought it would make my blue eyes pop. I wasn't disappointed.

I primed my entire lids using Urban Decay's Primer Potion and then used the middle shade on my lid from my lashes into my crease. For the outer one-third of my eye and my crease I used the darker shade and then blended the lightest shade above that. I felt like I still needed some brightening below my brows, so I used NAKED 2's Foxy (a matte cream colored shade). I didn't realize it was going to be a completely matte palette, but I really like it! It's great for an everyday look, but it also really does make my eyes pop, which makes it look like I put in some effort. I guess it taught me to not hate on an eyeshadow just because it isn't shimmery.

I haven't tried the other Laura Geller products I just bought yet, so keep an eye out for a review on those soon!

I'm excited to try these products! I've enjoyed the other Laura Geller products that I recently purchased from Ulta, and I found out the hard way that Hautelook only gives you a credit if you return something, so I decided to give these a shot with my "credit!" Review coming soon!

LOTD: NAKED Mustard Yellow & Tan

I've had this shirt for a couple of years and really like how cheerful it is. Below is the look I do when I wear yellow using Urban Decay's original NAKED palette, but today I used my MAC Fix+ to enhance Half Baked. I think it added a nice pop of shimmer. It transformed the look and I will definitely be doing this more often—even when I'm not wearing yellow!

For my face, I used my bareMinerals Skin Rev-er Upper and Purely Nourishing for Normal to Dry Skin as moisturizers. Next, I used NAKED Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup foundation in shade 3.5. I then buffed bareMinerals foundation in Medium and Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil Bronzer over my skin. For blush I stippled Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Pink Frosting on my cheeks and swept Laura Geller's Blush-N-Brighten in Pink Grapefruit over that. As I'm sure you've noticed, I had quite a few blemishes, so I used Benefit's Fake Up for those. From there I curled my eyelashes, applied Sephora's Full Action Extreme Effect Mascara in black, and then curled them again. I applied Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion on my eyelids and then pat Smog on my lid up into my crease slightly. Then I applied Sin from where Smog left off above my crease up to my eyebrows. I even dotted some in my tear duct area. After that I pat Darkhorse in the outer one-third of my eye and my crease. Then I applied Ulta's Automatic eyeliner in Black/Brown on my upper lid, making the line thicker towards the lateral side. I then used the same eyeliner in Black on my lower waterline. After that I applied a coat of Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara. Then I sprayed a brush with Fix+ and applied Half Baked to the center of my eye, just above my iris. This transformed Half Baked! The one with Fix+ is on the left. It was also harder than the other to get off my arm. I am really loving this Fix+ stuff!

I filled in my eyebrowns with MAC's eyebrow crayon in Lingering. Once all the dust settled I sprayed Urban Decay's All Nighter long-lasting makeup setting spray over my fave. On my lips I used a little travel-sized Sephora lip gloss in Rosy Glow. Thanks for reading! I'll be sure to do more looks with Fix+! I think it's a cool concept.

LOTD: Role Reversal

This is my "I showered at 4pm after Spring cleaning and having a Hart of Dixie marathon" look! I wanted something quick and simple! I went to two of my favorite Urban Decay shades: Mushroom & YDK. Mushroom is an interesting color in the fact that it could easily be very bold, but I blended a small amount over my lids and probably could have left it at that. It's a very adaptable, "chameleon" shade. I could just wear that shade alone with anything and it would take on the colors in my outfit, which is great for days when I have no idea what I'm going to end up walking out of the door in (that's been happening more often than not)! I then used Freestyle as a highlight, because it isn't over-powering or overly shimmery, and then blended the two together using YDK. Usually I would use YDK as a lid color and Mushroom as the crease color, but I think they did great in each other's shoes! I didn't apply eyeliner to my lower waterline because I think it would have taken away from the simplicity of the eye look I had going on. I used Blinc mascara and Bite Beauty lip crème in Palomino, for a pop of color. 

For my face I used my Naked foundation in 3.5, bareMinerals foundation in Fairly Medium, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, and Laura Geller's Balance an Brighten Foundation in Medium all over my face. For blush I used Laura Geller's Blush N Brighten in Pink Grapefruit. I'm loving these new products! Not my typical look, but definitely one I'll come back to time and time again I'm sure! Thanks for reading!
