After a Long Time...

Hello everybody! Long time no see. How have you been? How's life been?
All I can say is that college is kicking my ass, yet, I'm enjoying every-single-part of it. Running through campus all day, hugging my coffee thermus and thanking God for having a Starbucks inside campus, applying to multiple jobs and doing things that I never thought I would do.

LIFE UPDATE

I'm still single, not miserable at all, had a few dates, all sucked big time. I'll be graduarting on December, finally finishing with school, wondering if I'll get a stable job anytime soon.
Loving Bollywood movies and anything Indian (especially Aditya Roy Kapur).

I finally traveled to Europe, enjoying every second, every step, every breath, every person I met, the taste of gelato while sitting in the Fontana di Trevi, every sip of wine while eating freshly baked lasagna, long talks having a beer and a whole pizza.










BEAUTY UPDATE

I re-fell in love with Revlon Color Stay, enjoying ColourPop Lippie Sticks and eyeshadows, my everyday makeup consists of foundation, concealer, powder, brow powder as eyeshadow, black liner, tons of mascara, bronzer as blush and nude matte lipstick (picture tutorial, maybe?)

I want to write more again, and inspiration just kicked in, so I might take this habit back.

XOXO

Voice-less Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hello there! 
Right now my voice is practically gone and I now that I owe you a review of the Color Elation eyeshadows, so here it is, a tutorial using the Leopard Collection.

This is a quick picture of the collection...
Colors (L-R, T-B): Nocturnal, Seregueti, Ginger, Purr 
So, let's start the tutorial!



I applied my primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance) and a random dark brown cream eyeshadow (something similar to NYXs jumbo pencils would be great!) and blended it with a brush until just a little bit above the crease.



With the help of my MAC 217 brush, I applied the color Purr, building up the intensity on the lid and blending it in the crease. After that I applied a little bit of the color Serengueti to help the blending process.


I applied the color Noctural over the lid and blending the edges! REMEMBER! You still want Serengeti and Purr to show in your crease! 



Line your eyes with your favorite jet black liquid liner (I used L'oreal Lineur intense in Carbon Black) and apply your face makeup.


Smudge Purr, Serengeti and Nocturnal in your lower lid and apply some false lashes if desired.

Add a nude lip color.



I now this is super quick, but I'm kind of in a hurry ): I might type a bit more this weekend...

I LOVE YOU GUYS! 


PS: Color Elation, I know I owe you a HUGE apology.. I'm so sorry this has been taking me so long! I am very grateful! THANK YOU!!! 


I'LL REVIEW THIS IN MY NEXT POST!
