Makeup Look

 So I created this look last week and put it up on Instagram and facebook.  I really liked it and I feel like it can be used for Summer or Fall.  So I am going to walk you through how I created this look and what products I used.  Next time I do a look I will be filming it for you tube :) YAY you guys will get a better idea on how to do it.

So first thing after my shower I moisturize my skin with Mario Badescu A.H.A & Ceramide Moisturizer I love it.  Makes my skin feel nice and doesn't leave it feeling like there is a bunch of product on my face.

Next I apply my eye primer.  Its a brand that came in my kit when I took my class at

For this look I used my Sedona Lace Palette.  The 168 pro full color second edition

I started with a light off white for all over the eye area.  I then took a bronze color in a lighter shade and put it all over the lid.  I blended out with a tan color and then took a purple (it was bright but you can't tell in the picture) to work in the outer corner.

I used maybelline gel liner

to do the winged liner on top.  I then used a dark brown liner for the bottom liner right on the water line.

I applied red cherry lashes #43 with DUO lash adhesive.  I buy my lashes and glue here.....

Then I filled in my brows with some powder (also from my kit) I don't have a name for it but I used an angle brush and powder.

I then used my CG tru blend foundation and my real techniques face expert brush and applied my foundation.

Next I used my NYX concealer and brightened the under eye area.

Set with some translucent powder and applied a neutral-peach blush on the cheeks.

I finished the look with a lipstick I recently purchases CG lipstick 415 in Siren

Sedona Lace Palette Review

Okay So I recently purchased a palette from Sedona Lace.  It is the 168 Pro Full Color Second edition palette.
It is usually $29.99 but I got it when they were having a sale and with shipping paid.  $19.70.  It looks like they have good deals all the time, so just check out their site.

www.sedonalace.com

This was my first time ordering something from Sedona lace.  I first discovered them through hearing good things about their makeup brushes.  I will be purchasing some brushes soon and giving you all another review.

PACKAGING
My mail goes to an APO address and mail can sometimes take awhile to get all the way over here in Germany.  I received it about 7 days after it shipped and it was packaged SO WELL.  This is important when ordering online, especially when the package has a long journey before it gets to you.  I have ordered so many things that arrived damaged and it is such a pain to have to send it back and deal with all that.  So, proper packaging is great.  It was wrapped really well in bubble wrap and not a single shadow was messed up.  I also got two little eye shadows with the palette and a cute little purple bag.

FIRST IMPRESSION
I am extremely impressed with how pigmented these shadows are.  A little goes a long way.  I love all the colors in the palette.

You have everything from bold brights, to soft neutrals and everything in between.  It is a palette you can do a lot with.  I originally bought this for my kit but I might just have to keep it for myself and order another one for my kit :) It is perfect for your own use to add to your professional kit, as a gift for someone.  I think anyone who received this palette would be impressed.

I feel like I personally wouldn't use every single color on myself like the super bright greens..... but then again at Halloween I just might!!!  So yes if you are more of a neutral girl you might be like WOW I don't need all those colors but honestly I think they are good to have to help you grow and play around with more color.  Add a pop of color your lower lash line, do an extreme look for fun when you are just hanging out!

 Getting ready is my favorite part of the morning (well most mornings) so just be creative and have fun!!!!

Let me know if you try the palette or any other Sedona lace products and what you think.

Thanks for reading guys, hope you are having an amazing week
