Health :: Get Ready With Me Valentine’s Day

Sooo.. this one was going to be my very first vlog.

But my video was terrible. So I’m going to have to pass on posting that one. But it will come! I just need way better lighting, and perhaps no boyfriend in the background.

So, without further ado, just a written post about getting ready for Valentine’s Day.

Valentines-Day-Look-02

Due to the terrible lighting, you can’t really see my makeup. Which is crappy, but I decided to do a night look.

I use the Rimmel BB Cream mixed with Ours 24hr face cream to create a tinted moisturizer. I’m lazy, and probably terrible, but I apply it like cream – just rubbing it all over my face to blend it in. To set it, I use CoverGirl’s Ready, Set, Gorgeous in light to take away the shine, have it stay all day!

Normally I don’t fill in my brows for every day wear, so I fill them in with MAC Satin Eye Shadow in Mystery. Then, I set those bad boys with Benefit’s Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep. Brows, done!

Now up, the eyes. I use Eyeko’s Skinny Liquid Liner for the perfect cat eye. Although, in the video it’s super squiggly. I didn’t realize how terrible my eyesight is in the dark! Whoops. Note to self: Find a mirror as well. Although, with my skin type, I find that I need to use Urban Decay’s Naked Palette eye shadow to help set it. I use Naked as my base, then Sidecar as the next layer, and Half Baked as my final crease colour. Then to finish the look, I curl my lashes and apply a layer of Benefit’s They’re Real mascara. Eyes, Done!

For some shape, I apply Seventeen’s Stamp Blusher to my cheeks and blend with a blush brush. It can look a little clown-ish if you don’t blend.

For the final touch that pulls the look together, Wet N’Wild MegaSlicks Balm Stain in Redioactive*. I absolutely love this colour, it’s the perfect red for my skin tone. It also stains quite nicely, so a little goes a long way, and lasts quite a while (even with eating and drinking). This was my first introduction to Wet N’Wild lipsticks/makeup, and I am definitely pleased with the colour punch, and the moisturizing feel. Will definitely add this brand to my list!
*This product was sent to me complimentary, all opinions are my own! 

Valentines-Day-Look-01

Andrew and I are actually going out on Thursday for Valentine’s, so I’ll get him to take a picture of me on that day! Here’s to getting better at vlogging, and I’ll probably have this one up again. It’s a pretty standard way of doing my make-up. I actually enjoyed the act of video-taping myself. Go figure!

Happy Valentine’s day, lovelies!!
