Face of the Day: Peach Shimmer

Today was Casual Friday at work. Even though I was wearing jeans, I wanted to spice up my look a bit. So, of course, I went bright, shimmery and smokey with the makeup!

Nails of the Week: Coral Crush

 This week I did all my nails the same color which, if you follow my Pinterest you would know, is not common for me. 

My sister bought this polish along with the Teal one for me this past week. I know, she rocks!
I have never tried Maybelline polishes before but I have to say I'm impressed. 

The color is neon with a slightly shinny finish (without a top coat). The application wasn't bad at all. Although this is a mandatory two-coat polish, it is beautiful.

Have you tried any of Maybelline polishes? What do you think?

Wedding Makeup & Hair

This past Saturday my friend Brittany had a wedding to go to. She called me and asked me to do her hair and makeup for the occasion. Her dress was black with hot pain heels and accents. This is what I came up with.

Makeup

Face

• Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer 
• Neutrogena Skin-Clearing Makeup mixed with Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream
• L'oreal Visible Lift Powder in Fair
• Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser Concealer in Fair
• Revlon PhotoReady Bronzer in Bronzed & Chic 
• Benefit HighBeam
• Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink

Eyes

• Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer
• Wet n' Wild Creme Shadow Pencil in Pixie
• Chickaboom Shadow in Pyramids from the Rose Russo palette
• Chickaboom Shadow in Ken's Girl from the Rose Russo palette 
• Urban Decay Shadow in Sin from the Naked palette
• Urban Decay Shadow in Naked from the Naked palette 
• Chickaboom Shadow in Silver Belle mixed with Carbonize from the Rose Russo palette 
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
• L'oreal Voluminous Original Mascara in Back/Brown

Hair

Products Used

• Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Curl-Perfecting Spray
• TRESemme TRES Two Hair Spray

Styling Tools Used

• Ion Super Moist Solutions 1/2 inch Flat Iron
• Bobby Pins
• Conair Teasing Comb

First, I curled all her hair with the flat iron. I find that when you're working with hard-to-curl hair, the best way to keep the curls lasting all day is to use a small flat iron. Then a teased the crown of her hair to give a little lift and volume. After smoothing down the top, I secured the sides of her hair in a half-up style with bobby pins.  

Here is the finished look!
