Hey guys! So, I would say it is a pretty
fabulous day in the world of Clarissa because I didn’t have any classes today
so therefore I am going to spend the entire day doing what ever I please. I
slept in a little bit longer, took a shower, shaved my legs, put makeup on,
and now I am writing this lovely blog for you. It is only 1:00ish and I am already
having an amazing day.
So, I am planning on
going to Sioux Falls after I get this dealio all squared away because I need to
run a few errands and I have some cash that is burning a hole in my pocket so
Ulta and Sephora here, I come! What a perfect little me day! Everyone needs me day's once in a while... or once a week.
I am going to do a
step-by-step on what I look like today, that sounded so awkward! Oopsies! I used the
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. This is probably one of the easiest eye looks ever! Literally anyone can do it! I used five shades in all but you honestly wouldn’t
even have to use five of them.
I do not use the Naked 3 Palette a whole lot but I do really like it for spring and summer. I use it a ton on other people because I think it looks very flattering on everyone. But, I just prefer to use browns more.
I am just going to say sorry that I kind of skipped around a lot on this one because the lighting was absolutely horrible because it was super cloudy this morning and then right after I was done then Mr. Sun decided to come out. Pretty typical but, I will not complain about the sun! I will take all the sunshine I can get.

I did a very rosey
gold look today because it’s spring and why not? So, let’s get to it!
I washed my face in
the shower today so I didn’t do it again once I got out of the shower but, I did
moisturize my face using my Simple Replenishing Skin Moisturizer and then after
that I gave myself a good drench of the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe,
Herbs, and Rosewater (love this stuff). I also put some Chapstick on because my
lips are looking a little rough lately.
Notice how I got my brows done, anyone? I needed it bad. Like, bad bad.
I let my moisturizer
sit on my skin for like tenish minutes and then I go in with my foundation. I
used the L’Oreal True Match and pressed it into my skin with my Real Techniques
Expert Face Brush.
I also did my brows but they were just not working with my life today. A new brow pencil is on the list!
Now for the fun part, the eyes!
I grabbed my big
no-named blending brush and picked up some Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek and dusted it right
into my crease and slightly above as my transition shade.
I grabbed my Naked 3
Palette and Sonia Kashuk No. 20 brush and dusted the shade Limit all up in my
crease in windshield wiper motions.
Next, I reached for
my Sonia Kashuk No. 116 brush and put the shade Nooner directly into my crease
in windshield wiper motions (how many times can I say that?) but I was focusing more on the outer edges of my eye! Nooner is just slightly darker than Limit. It adds some good depth!
Then, I grabbed the
brush that came with my Naked 3 palette and used the small flat side of the
brush to apply the shade Trick all over my lid. I made sure to push it up into
my crease a bit to make my eyes look larger. Trick is the best shade in this
palette, in my opinion! I love love love this color! It doesn’t always show up the best
so I misted, misted is not a word, sprayed, I sprayed my brush with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray and then applied it
again. Getting your brush wet with any kind of facial spray or even eye drops
really changes it! I love doing it… I do it a lot and it's the best.
Then I made sure to
go back in and blend it all out with no additional product on the brush.
Blending is super important with this look because it is very soft and feminine.
I used the shade
Shimma Shimma by Makeup Geek to highlight my brow bone and the inner duct of my
eye. It really made this look pop a bit more on me.
We are done with the eyes for now!
I grabbed my
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in the shade Fair. I’m so pale that it is
sad! My spray tan has officially left the building! Any who, I applied it in an upside
down triangle underneath my eyes, on my cupids bow, a little on my forehead,
and on my chin. I blended it out with my ring finger because I need a new beauty
blender. So, I made do.
I made sure to set my
concealer with a powder.
Then I smoked out my
lower lash line with an Eco Tools Flat brush. I used the shade Nooner on my
lower lash line. Then, I also went in with a pencil brush and smoked it out a bit
more with the shade Limit!
I grabbed a brown eye
pencil and lined my upper and lower waterline. I use brown with pinks rather
than black because I think it is a little bit more flattering. Also, this look
is not intended to be harsh so I just thought the brown shade would be a much
better option.
I curled my lashes
and loaded up on the black mascara life. I used my Clinique stuff and all I
know about that stuff is the shade is 01 Extreme Black and it really is extreme
black.
I needed to bronze
myself badly so I just went in with my favorite brush of the moment, the Sonia
Kashuk brush No. 113! This brush is the bomb.com. It is ideal for bronzing! I
applied some NYC Sunny 720A bronzer on my cheeks, temple, chin, and a tiny bit
on my nose. I need to enhance my bronzer life ASAP because I am getting bored with all of mine.
I used two shades for
blush today. I mixed Mac Peaches (buy this) and Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Ginger Pop (buy this too). I
love to mix my blushes. I don’t know why. You don’t need to! Mac Peaches is a shade that is flattering on everyone and I highly recommend buying it. I don't know if Clinique still has the Cheek Pop Blush or not because they came out with them in spring time last year... Ginger pop is amazing. It is so so so pretty!
I applied some
highlighter! I used the bareMinerals Ready Luminizer and I used the pink side,
The Love Affair. It is such a soft and pretty highlight!
I set my makeup with
the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray! This stuff locks you in like no
other.
Then I curled my
hair with my wand…
And after that I
applied the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the shade Naked and went on top
of it with my bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip-gloss in the shade Rule Breaker.
Now, you are done!
Such a simple and easy look! I didn’t want to spend a ton of time on me today
but I still wanted to look good so I compromised with this! Anyone can do
this! It is such a simple look! I just wish the lighting had picked up a bit to
show you how good it really looks.
I need to learn how to put both my eyes in my selfies... But, I don't. I like one eyed selfies, what can I say?
Go treat yourself
today like I am! Thanks for reading!
Xoxo,
Clarissa!
