FOTD: Commercial Style

No, I mean commercial style as in a commercial audition.  I kept my face and eyes simple, with a nice bold lip and big lashes.  I used my BH cosmetics 2nd edition eye shadow palette to create a nice, subtle, champagne colored eye.  That way, it doesn't look too bold but there is something there that creates a pop in my eyes.  I LOVE BH cosmetics, especially their eye shadows.  They are highly pigmented (especially used with a primer before hand), have very little fallout, the palettes are expansive and inexpensive, and they have a great color pay off.  I own the second and third edition, as well as the Day to Night palette, and love every color and have not been disappointed with it.  For my mascara I first put on a layer of Rimmel's new Lash Accelerator Endless and then put on a second coat of Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and boy oh boy did they make my lashes look good.  I used the NYX kohl liner, since my Urban Decay eye liner is down to a little nuby.
For my cheeks, I used NYX blush in pinched and then a NYX highlighter.  I used Too Face's chocolate bronzer for contouring because it is a matte bronzer.  I'm still learning how to contour, so it's a process.  My foundation was, surprise surprise, Revlon Photo Ready Liquid Foundation in Ivory and then topped with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in fair.   On my lips I used the new Revlon chubby stick lip color that is in the same tube like the Just Kissed Lip Balm Stain but it has a glossy finish.  I am in love with this lip color and product line, it all has a nice minty smell, stays on really well, and doesn't dry my lips out.
Stay lovely, my girls. XOXO

Rimmel Extra WOW Lash Mascara

Rimmel is, by far, one of my favorite make up brands and they never seem to disappoint me.  I picked this up the other day at the drugstore because it was on sale and I needed a new mascara for my bag.  It's a nice mascara but I'm not too sure about the WOW factor.  The Scandaleyes mascara line definitely makes my lashes look much longer and more curled than this does BUT with that being said, I wouldn't immediately throw this out.  It is good for a nice little lift, and a subtle defined lash- great for the day.  The bottle is simple and streamlined, which means it goes great in my back pack and I can quickly coat it on while I'm on my way to class.  One thing I really do like about this is that I really like how it looks on my bottom lashes.  It doesn't make them look too defined and they don't disappear like they always do.  It gives them a 'we're here, but not in your face' kind of way.  So while I don't know if I would purchase right away again, I would suggest you give this product a try for a travel bag or if you're an on the go student who needs a quick lift in between classes.
