It's that time of the year ... !

I thought it's only right to break out the glitter ... but everyone is doing night looks ... I love to rock any type of makeup any time of the day, so here's a way to stay warm and add some pizazz to your casual look!

Kept the glitter casual by making a small gradient effect from the inner corner and smoked out the outer corner with grey's/blue's. Used my new favorite lipstick Modesty from Mac.

Edgy and Casual!

I took the basic graphic tee trend, along with the dark burgandy red trend and tied it all into one! With the booties from my last blog post ... which I'm OBSESSED WITH ... I tied this look together for school. It was a gloomy day, so I did some clever layering. I added a black cardigan under my chambray to stay warm. I kept it really simple on top since the pants were so loud! Let me know what you guys think of this look! Would you rock it?

Using that Utility Jacket - Military Jacket

I know ... I know ... ANOTHER TREND? ... Military inspired outfits or utility jackets or military jackets ... whatever you call 'em! They're so cute! They act as a neutral and go with ANY fall color ... so why not have one? Here's how I layered up my jacket with a dress! Are you guys liking the military inspired trend?

Sweater Dress - H&M

Scarf - Forever 21

Polka Dots with an Edge

I couldn't resist a fitted faux leather moto jacket that was on clearance at Nordstorms! I immediately picked it up, a bit snug because it's fitted, but definitely worth getting! I wanted to give a girly trend an edgy look by mixing polka dots and my new moto jacket. It's still pretty warm out here in southern California so I can get away with shorts, but this look works with colored skinnies or just regular denim skinnies! Hope this inspires you to turn girly looks more edgy and vice versa!

I wanted to do a close up of my necklace! Unfortunately, it's camera phone quality, but you get the jist! Love this collar necklace and my knuckle ring!

I jumped into this metallic concept last year, and finally I get to wear it this season! Here's how I made metallics casual with a metallic sweater and metallic shoes... I know, sounds like a lot, but I dressed it down quite a bit to be everyday-friendly. Are you rocking metallics this holiday season?

LORAC PRO PALETTE SAY WHAT?!

Recently got my hands on this bad boy during the Friends and Family sale going on at Sephora (which already ended!). I just wanted to see the hype about it, not that I needed another neutral palette, but I can't complain or say that I'm less than amazed with this palette. The selection of colors is amazing!! Here's a neutral look I did when trying out the palette! The palette is $42 retail, but definitely worth every penny!

Lt Pink - Lid

Mauve - Crease

I used concealer for my highlight.

 I know it's an incredibly simple look, but I think it turned out absolutely gorgeous with just two colors!

(AND this is WITHOUT ANY primer, imagine how much it would stand out with primer!)

Casual Fall Trend: Flannels

Flannels never go out of style. I used to be obsessed with flannels when I was younger. This year, I wanted to use the flannel as an accessory to an outfit and make it my own! I wore this to school today, may I remind you, I leave my house by 6 am, so it's an outfit that's usually thrown together and comfy for my "long-day-wear." Hope you guys get inspiration for your flannels!

Flannel: Forever 21

Shorts: Abercrombie Kids

Boots: Reflection

Graphic Tank and Socks: Kohls

- I feel like this outfit included all staple pieces from every girl's closet!

Going Crazy for Halloween

I know this is a late look, but I still wanted to share with you guys! Since Halloween was on a school night for me, I stayed in and passed out candy! Even though I stayed in, I still felt the spirit of Halloween so I came up with a smokey look for the occasion. This look can be done with any colors! Hope you guys enjoy!

The reason I chose green and purple was because of the shirt I wore! Bought this skeleton shirt at Walmart (found in the boys sections for $4.88!)

Products used:

Base - Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Audacious Asphalt

ELF Palette - Green and purple MATTE colors. Used skin tone color to blend.

Covergirl Concealer Stick for highlight

ELF Gel Liner

Ebay Lashes

Nothing gets better than GOLD

I came out with a going out look that's slightly different from the usual gold smokey eye, I always tend to go with. It has a 3-d type look! Hope you guys enjoy!

I added a smokey-ness to the inside corner and finished it on the outside corner also. I also deepened the crease by adding the black lightly to it. Focused the gold on the center of my eye lid! Hope you enjoy. Products used listed below!

Mac's Painterly Pot - Soft Ocre

Maybelline's Color Tattoo - Bold Gold

Naked 2 Palette - Half Baked (Center Lid), Blackout & Busted (Crease, Outer Corner, Inner Corner), Foxy (Highlight)

ELF - Gel Liner

Ebay lashes

Settle yet BOLD smokey eye look

Please ignore my shininess! This picture was taken at the end of the night. Just thought I'd share this look since I loved it so much! Definitely a new go-to look for me!

I wanted to do a quick post on this eye look from the other night! I've really been into the smokey eye lately, but in different colors! All that was used for this look was Maybelline's Color Tattoo Rich Mahogany (from the Fall '12 collection) and a skin tone eyeshadow was used to smoke out the look. (I did add a smidge of black to my outter corner crease to give depth to my eyes.) For my highlight, I just used a light concealer ... which also perfected the brows! This look is great for a casual night out or date night with the girls! Feeling extra bold? I'd definitely wear this look during the day! I love bold makeup, but this is a toned down version for me! Hope you guys enjoy!

NEW PRODUCT ALERT: MAYBELLINE'S THE COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS, CAT EYES

I'm soooo happy to share this new product with you guys! We all know I'm a falsie fanatic, but this mascara amazes me! I've been seeing commercials like crazy for the new Colossal Volum' Express, which claims to give a more cat eye effect. Not sure if it's true with the cat eye effect, only because I don't have long or full lashes, I have the exact opposite. But this product worked WONDERS for my dinky Asian eyelashes. Of course, I had to get it in waterproof to hold my curl, but I don't regret this random buy! ONLY $5 AT WAL-MART!

I know my eyelashes are still pretty dinky, but this is like amazing for how my eyelashes really look. They're thin  and short. IT SUCKS! But this mascara did the MOST! 

Halloween Attempt #1: Candy Skull/Day of the Dead Look

I wanted to venture out into something totally different for Halloween this year! I've really been into candy skulls and just skulls in general lately. I came up with this really simple look of a candy skull. This was only my first attempt. If I do end up doing this look, I will add more detail to it. Let me know what you guys think!

Hint: Instead of using white face paint, I used a pale foundation. The rest of the products I used were things I already had in my collection. And I used yellow/gold around my eye instead of having my eye completely blacked out.

Additions: I plan to ombre the petals around my eye from the black to dark blue to the turquoise. And maybe add sequence inside the petals. 

Here Comes the Fall ... Lip !

Hey beauties! I know I've been behind on blogging, but I haven't came across anything blog worthy ... until NOW! I was on a hunt for a new lip for fall and found this gorgeous color! ... Mac's Diva paired with Mac's Burgundy lip liner! I find out of all the lip products I use, I simply adore Mac's lipsticks the most! They are worth the $15 dollar splurge and after wearing this lip look for the night, I know it was definitely worth it! Hope you guys enjoy!

Went with a simple eye look and a BOLD lip for this fall evening!

I was so surprised how well the lipstick lasted through the night! After dinner and a movie with no extra applications, I came home and noticed it was still basically all there. (Besides the inside of course from enjoying my Red Robin burger and fries!)

FALL COLLECTIONS - OH, MAYBELLINE

I just wanted to let you guys know I finally got my hands on three more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo Limited Edition colors. On the left side! The dark brown is RICH MAHOGANY, the top color is BARELY BEIGE, and the golden color is GOLD SHIMMER. 

The Rich Mahogany is a beautiful dark brown for the crease or outer corner. To get the full pigmentation, you will need to put a thick layer. My favorite out of the bunch is Barely Beige, it's great as a highlight or all over the lid. It does come out more white and shimmery on my lid, but when I do wipe my fingers, it does show up beige on the tissue. The Gold Shimmer is much more golden than Bold Gold. Definitely worth the money! These Color Tattoo's by Maybelline are one of my top drugstore products, if not the top product.

CVS had the three colors, while Target had the other two and the brighter colors of the collection.

Color the World

I came up with a very settle eye look with some new products I grabbed. I used the new Maybelline Color Tattoo in Fuchsia Fever as a base with a magenta color from the ELF 100 Color Palette with a purple on the outer corner. I tried to keep it settle since I'm just trying out colors. I wish the base had a better consistency because it took a few layers of the product to get an even color, but never the less, I still love the Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio. Hope you guys enjoy!

Splurging on some new things before school...

Who doesn't love DRUGSTORE products that work amazingly?!

Never Can Go Wrong with Gold

Bold Gold of Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection all over the lid. Matte  Brown for the crease. Matte highlight.

I'm about to start school again! That only means early morning classes and less time to get dolled up! This is my default look for the day or night time. (Only difference is at night I usually do a darker smokey look with an addition of black). The Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Bold Gold or even Bad to the Bronze is a quick way to turn up your everyday makeup look! What's so great about these colors is that they're perfect for any season! As we are transitioning into fall, the matte brown gives the soft look, while the gold is self explanatory BOLD GOLD! This quick look allows me to have a full eye look in a matter of seconds! These cream eyeshadows by Maybelline are probably one of my TOP products in my makeup collection.

I absolutely love these Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows! I use them practically everyday whether it's alone or as a base. Some say they compare to the Paint Pots by Mac, but unfortunately I've never tried any except Ocre (since I use that as a eye shadow primer). But I find the Maybelline collection to be absolutely amazing! They have also released a new Fall 2012 LIMITED Edition collection. Which I cannot wait to try, I've only gotten my hands on two of the colors.

Two of the Eight new colors of the Fall 2012 Limited Edition Collection!

Luminous Makeup Look!

(my luminous makeup look only using products I already have!)

I know right now the bright luminous look is really popular and I am also a huge fan of a luminous look. Unfortunately because I have oily skin, most illuminating makeup products will only make my skin look more oily. I've heard amazing things about Maybelline's Lumi collection! Wish I could give it a try, but here I came up with this look using regular products I already have.

The picture above is the new luminous look while the picture below shows my usual makeup routine.

(regular makeup look)

As you can tell, I have gotten a bit darker due to the sunny rays down here in Southern California, but none the less, you can easily tell the luminous effect with my makeup. The trick is to use a yellow undertone concealer to brighten up the highlighting features on your face. After I had complete my foundation routine before using a translucent powder, I went and applied the concealer on the middle of my forehead above my eyebrows, down the bridge of my nose, brow bone (where you would usually put a highlight eyeshadow), on my under eyes (in an upside down triangle), a bit on my cupid's bow and chin. Using a foundation brush, I blended the yellow undertone concealer to those areas and applied my translucent powder all over my face. After I lightly applied a hint of highlight, but not too much since my has glitter flex in it. Then finishing my face with my bronzer (to warm up and contour) and a small amount of blush. I'd be more than happy to make a video of how I achieved this look, please let me know! (my youtube channel is heytiffy92) The products used for my luminous makeup look will be listed below.

Products used for this look:
Loreal Paris Studio Secrets Primer
Urban Decay's Urban Defense in Body Guard
Neutrogena's Skin Clearing Foundation in 30 Buff
Covergirl's Concealer Stick 710 Light
Kat Von D's Tattoo Concealer in Sand (THIS IS THE CONCEALER I USED FOR THE LUMINOUS EFFECT!) -- A very recommended product!!!!
NARS Albatross
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
MAC's Blunt Powder Blush - Bronzer
ELF's Candid Coral Blush
Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 015 Cherish Devotion

Recent Discoveries

I have made a few new beauty purchases that I wanted to share with you guys!

I'll start with the bad news first and end with good news!

I am on the hunt for new mascara. I've been slowly transitioning myself into wearing more mascara after wearing falsies for over two years straight. So I went ahead and purchased They're Real mascara by Benefit Cosmetics. I am a huge Benefits Cosmetics fan! They have released new blush box sets that I'm dying to get my hands on (only at Sephora). But I was highly disappointed about They're Real mascara. Unfortunately, I have very thin and short lashes. The mascara was very voluminousness, but did not give any length effect, which I need the most. I would recommend this product to anyone who already has long lashes! Guess Benefit mascaras are just not for me.

(this is a travel size mascara, found at Sephora only $10!)

Instagram : Heytiffy

On a brighter note, I found ANOTHER lip product I am obsessed with! You've probably heard of them ... The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. I have two, but have only opened one. So far... so amazing! The jumbo pencil has a retractable bottom, so there is no sharpening needed! It is very moisturizing, so it is NOT a lie when they call it a balm. I did find that after the second coat (once the first coat fades, of course), it stains just perfectly! And they also were NOT kidding when they said kissable. I kissed my nieces nonstop forgetting I had lip product on and there was a very minimal stain left on their cheeks! So all you girls who have boyfriends that are not a fan of lipstick or lip gloss, this product is just for you! I definitely recommend this product to everyone!

Revlon Lip Butter vs. Loreal Paris Color Riche Balm

This is an epic battle between two products released around the same time. Though it's a tricky to decide which is best for you, I thought I'd give you some insight on my experience with both products. I do love both products and they both serve good purposes. The Revlon Lip Butter is great for the girl who is experiencing with new lip colors and lipstick. The lip butter is moisturizing with beautiful pigmentation. While the Color Riche Balm is more a tinted lip balm. I find purposes for both! I do also mix the two for certain lip looks, (as I've shared in previous post). Lots of bloggers and vloggers have talked about this battle between the two products. In my perspective, there's no winner or even a war to be fought. Both are very different! The best part is that both are moisturizing. On the days you're looking for a light tint/sheen, go for the Color Riche Balm. The days you're feeling bold, but don't want to carry so much makeup, grab the lip butter!

Another haul!

Ombre Trend

Ombre is a huge trend right now! So I wanted to give it a try with a makeup look. What better to try than ombre lipstick?! Used a red lip liner and a hot pink lipstick, followed by two lighter pink lipsticks while layering towards the center. To finish the look, I dabbed shimmer white eyeshadow in the center of my lips! What do you think? Wearable? I love it! Great way to dress up your makeup look this summer!

I'M BAAACK!
