LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs Review and Look Tutorial


Today I am sharing a new company I came across called Lunatick Cosmetic Labs. They are currently running their shop off of facebook but will shortly be selling from a website by the end of April.
What drew me to them was their variety of eye and lip colors that are vegan which mean they are 100% talc and cruelty free. Their shadows and lipsticks are soft, blendable and great for sensitive skin & eyes. They currently carry palettes, loose shadows, and lipsticks. The price of the products are competive and affordable.
My package arrived very quickly by USPS Priority Mail, it only took about 1-2 days. I ordered Saturday and received it Monday. Everything arrived safe and sound inside. I got 7 eyeshadow samples, eye primer, and a lipstick that came in a really cool coffin case! 2 of the shadows were shimmers and the other 5 were mattes with a low sheen. The lipstick is a creamy shiny lipstick with a wonderful scent.















 This is the look I created using the eye primer and all the shadow samples.
The following video is a quick review and a tutorial using the products, Check it out!
 
Overall I was pleased with the store, products, and customer service was great.  I am excited to see what LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs will have to offer once they go live and to watch them grow.

How I Bleach/Color with Splat: Purple & Red Ombre Hair Tutorial


Now that my hair has faded, as promised, I did a video tutorial on my bleaching/coloring process. This time I chose to go a bit darker and used purple and red. I used my favorite semi-permanent colors and bleach from Splat. The shades are Lusty Lavender and Lusicious Raspberry, I purchased them from my local drugstore. One thing I forgot to mention in my video was how long I left in the bleach, it was about 15 minutes and then I used a warm rinse. The bleaching process is different for everyone, so please check your hair after 10 minutes. At-home coloring /bleaching is not for everyone. If you have no experience, seek a salon professional and ask lots of questions to learn about your hair. The following video is how I achieved this month’s hair color.

Rock Glam: Black Lipstick and Glitter Eye Makeup Tutorial

I absolutly LOVE the way black lipstick looks and my new favorite lipstick is KOHL from My Beauty Addiction. I wore it out in public all day today and the past couple of days. A lot of people gave me some great feedback in compliments! Black lipstick can really be worn as boldly as any other bright shade of lipstick. I usually never leave home without a red lip so this was a fun bold change. The richness of the lipstick did not need a base or liner and did not fade. I love how shiny and vibrant it looks. I'm obsessed! <3
 
 I put together a video tutoral on how I wear my black lipstick with a glamorous vibe. The video contains a full face look including the eyes, cheeks, and lips. Enjoy!

Urban Decay AMMO review and look

 
Today I am going to share with you this adorable little palette by Urban Decay called AMMO.
This product is available at My Beauty Addiction for $20.
 
This palette consists of 10 shimmery shadows
that I think would be perfect for subtle to dramatic looks.

 
 It is a lot smaller then some of the other palettes they make and
is alot more light weight, it is about the size of my hand.
It's more of a compact then a palette to me.
It has a velvet feel to package design and
comes with a mirror and sponge eyeshadow applicator blush.
I also like that it has a magnetic closure as well.
 
 
 I swatched these shadows using the UD primer potion as my base. As you can see they are all very shimmery and more on the neutral side. This would be a great palette to use for weddings because it can look great on all skin tones. I really love each shade and a little bit goes a long way.
I truly like this palette quite a bit, this is a great little shimmer palette that
will easily fit into my makeup case or purse.
 

 
For my eye look I used the AMMO compact shades:
Smog/Mildew/Oil Slick/Sin/Polyester Bride
 
I also used some other great My Beauty Addiction products:
Goddess Bronzer
Fantasy Dazzle Dust
#6 Powder Honey
 
On my lips: Wet N Wild lipstick 914A
 
Stay Glamorous,

Urban Decay SMOKED palette Look & Review

 
 
Today I tried out the Urban Decay SMOKED palette from MY BEAUTY ADDICTION.
On the website it states that this is a replica item, but it was extremely hard to tell the difference.
The quality is definately there and you get a lot out of this kit for the great price of only $28.
 
 
You get:
 Zippered Palette with the 10 eyeshadow shades
Mirror
Eyeshadow Primer Potion (squeeze tube)
Perversion 25/7 Glide-On eye pencil
 "How to Look" book with 11 look tutorials and information on brushes, how to prep your face,
and tricks for common makeup problems
 
 
 These 10 shadows are 4 mattes and 6 shimmer shades.
This palette can give you a huge variety of smoked looks. The shades are wonderful alone or blend well together no matter which shades you put chose.

 
 I swatched each shade using the enclosed Primer Potion as the base. The base itself is wonderful and well-loved by many makeup artists and tends to be a must-have primer. I really like the squeezed tube. The color of the primer is a skin tone and blends so easily.
 Each shade was swatched using my finger with just one swipe. The shades can be darker by layering the color. I was pleasantly surprised how pigmenented and vibrant they are.
ALL equally GORGEOUS! The eye pencil Perversion that came with the palette was also a wonderful pencil. I've tried so many pencils and this is probably the best pencil I have ever touched.
I love the pointy tip and the color wasn't overly black.
It was easy to layer and make the desired color depth I was looking for
without making those 'racoon' eyes, that most pencils tend to give.
 
 
 This is my look using this palette, I went for a softer smoked look today.
I used the primer potion as my base and the shadows:
Kinky, Freestyle, Backdoor, Blackout, and Barlust
I used the pencil as well.
On my lips I used Coral Crush lipstick by My Beauty Addiction
 
Overall I love this palette and everything that came with it. It's a great product!
Please check out the website for this product and other amazing products.
 
Have a Glamorous Day and Thank you for stopping by!

2013 Spring Pantone Inspired EYESHADOW Collection


       I am so excited to share this NEW eyeshadow collection from My Beauty Addiction. It is inspired by the spring Pantone shades for this season's fashion 2013. You can purchase the shadows individually or as a collection. I would definately just get the whole collection, it is so worth it. They are a great variety of shades to compliment any skin tone and can be worn demure or dramatic.
Shop: http://mybeautyaddiction.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_213

I really love the whole collection, each shadow brings its own punch or can be easily blended to create a wide array of looks and will go amazily with my spring wardrobe. It inspires so many ideas for spring photoshoots and will go great with the spring weddings and special occasions as well.

Here are my descriptions of the shadows:
 Dusk Blue- shimmery light "denim" blue
 
 Tender Shoots- bright "spring" green, very vibrant
 
 Lemon Zest- bright and fun shimmery medium yellow, very vibrant
 
 Grayed Jade- semi matte grayed light green with a hint of shimmer
 
 Linen- fresh shimmery light pink shade
 
 Monaco Blue- semi matte dark blue shade with a just enough shimmer
 
Africian Violet- Shimmery light purple, just the purple you need for spring

 Poppy Red- shimmery burnt red shade
 
Nectarine- Shimmery light orange shade
 
 Emerald- Medium green with plenty of shimmer
 
My swatches of the shadows are on a clear base. They look great over
a mutliple array of base colors and look great wet as well as dry.
I LOVE them all and they are actually identicial color matches to the website photo of the products. It's always nice to see exactly what you are getting and thats what you get with these.
 
I used the shadow poxy as the clear base:

Wednesday Blue Period

Everyday is a painting and today I used the blues.
Even though blue is usually connected to feeling of sad or depressed,
I want to reinvent the thought because I feel rather happy
like on a dark blue rainy day when you actually get a chance to sleep to the sound of the rain,
thats a good blue.
Also seeing the blue in the sky and ocean,
another blunt hope of the endless opportunies you can create. 
It makes me feel happy, today I'm blue. :)
 
 Nails: Sinful Colors- Savage and OPI Katy Perry
 
Makeup:
My Beauty Addiction-
Shadows- White Diamonds, Aquadise, Champ, Navy, I.Q., Snapple
Shadow Poxy
Goddess Bronzer
Bare Lipstick
Buff Lil Puckers
 
It was a beautiful day for blue. :)
Stay Glamorous,
