FOTN Breakdown for Ms. Fabulously Thrifty

Hi y'all! I got a request to break down my last FOTN from Mel aka Ms. Fabulously Thrifty I'm going to do the best that I can to remember what I did and where I did it.

 I guess it's a gold/bronze smokey eye.....

 
 


*The Breakdown*




  • Benefit Shadow Insurance (I'm still out of UDPP)
  • NYX Jumbo Pencil -Iced Mocha - used on lid   *I can't remember if I used MAC or Urban Decay so I'm listing the color possibilities..... 
  • Urban Decay Ammo Palette - Smog & Chopper -lid & right part of my "innner" crease
  • UD- Oil Slick - Crease (oil slick has a sparkle to it, MAC Carbon (matte) would work also)
  • UD- Sin -Highlight 
  • MAC- All That Glitters, Mythology-lid & inner crease 
  • MAC- Gorgeous Gold - on my "inner eye corner" and slightly on my on my lower lashline to bring out the color
  • Ardell Lashes- (sorry I don't have the box)
  • MARK - Get in Line Hookup Waterproof Liquid Liner- Painted Black (upper lashline & slight winged)
  • Urban Decay- 24/7 Pencil - Zero (waterline)

 Sorry that my "tutorial" was lame!  My memory sucks! But I hope this helps a little bit!!

Luv Ya!

Product Review Benefit Girls Night In & Playboy Bunny is Missing!!!!

Hi y'all! Did everyone have a good weekend? Is everyone staying pretty? I managed to lose another pair of lashes at a club on Saturday, *tear*, usually I manage to lose one lash not a pair. Thank god I carry around MARK The Hookup Mascara in my tiny "bar" purse, it fits perfectly because its so tiny. So I somehow found myself in Sephora on Sunday ok, I went there on purpose. I wanted to swatch the Bare Minerals foundation but the "darkest"shade Deep Dark looked kinda wonky me. Note: Deep Dark does not always apply to dark skinned women >_<.... Us "Deep Dark" woman come in many shades of "Deep Dark" I remembered that I wanted to try the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners but I couldn't pick on a shade. Then I saw this....

Benefit Girls Night In!!!
It comes with 2 Creasless Cream Shadow/Liners, a "talent" brush, full finish lipstick, and 3 cute magnets.

~Cute Magnets~
Creaseless Shadow/Creme Liners

*No primer or based used for swatches.
"Talent" Brush (sorry so blurry)
The brush is "multipurpose" Line, Shade & CreaseFull Finish Lipstick
So of course I wanted to "play" with my new little kit. I decided to try to create a look using only stuff from the set & following the 3 Steps on the back of the packaging... No other colors no other brushes..... Ok I lied I did use mascara......
RESULTS FAIL, EPIC FAIL


The consistacy of the Creaseless Cream Shadow liners are kinda thin and really "spready" <-new word... I kinda expected them to be like a MAC PaintPot, which I usually apply with my ring finger. You definatley need to use a brush to apply these, or a very gentle & light finger. They kinda spread weird too... I'm just not used to the texture. There were smudgies all over the place.
The "line" I drew came out pretty dull & kinda mixed in with the lid color....
Too "FROSTY" looking...

Too much :(

Not Great....

The lipstick that came with the set "Ladies Choice" according to the set claims that "Miraculously, the shade look beautiful on just about every skin tone.
Umm, yeah.... I guess I don't fall into the "just about every skintone group"... If I was a smidge lighter we would of had a winner. I even used a darker liner to "make it work"....
So this faboulous lippie is going to a better home the home of Tammy, since we've started some kinda darkskin/carmel mocha skin doesn't match exchange program......
The kit was $38 at Sephora. I think it's a good deal especially if you want test of the Cream Shadows, they are $19 each at Sephora.
I wanted two so that would of cost me $38, so basically I won & beat the system because I got 2 shades that I like, a brush (which is actually a nice brush), a lippie, 3 cute magnets and makeup bag, that I will probably use for my trip to Atlanta in July.

Here are some cute little cards that came inside of the product pacaking!

In other Kendall news. I'm very sad *tear*, the cutest tiniest bunny has been living in my front and backyard for the past few weeks and I haven't seen him in almost two weeks. I love Playboy (I named him Playboy b/c he's a bunny, duh)... I would set on my step and watch him nibble on grass. I even thought about call Child Protective Services on his mama!!! He's a baby, he hardly even has a fluffy tail yet. She like abandoned him. He's so sweet, I got him to come up to me a few times and he keeps me company at night when I go out for a study "ciggie" break....... Here's some pics of my MISSING BUNNY!!!!



I miss him!!! I live in an area with some crazy ass animals that can attack or hurt my sweet little bunny.....
Hawks, Bobcats, Coyotes, Foxes & BEARS!!!!!
