The trick is to make eyes look big and bold is to create depth with your eyeshadow. You can do this by first applying a lighter colored shadow all over your eyelid. Next using  a darker shade  apply it in the crease of your eye above your lid. This will give dimension and depth to the eyes. Don’t forget to blend blend blend!  Blending the lid color with the crease color will create a beautifully seamless look.

What Is Your Potential…

Po·ten·tial

adjective: Having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.

Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a little bit more time to reach our full potential.

Potential | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

While this bud is beautiful in its own way, it has so much potential inside of it to be amazing!  If we were to only judge this flower on what is seen right now at this very moment the flower is cut short of what it actually is meant to be.  In just a few short days this bud will blossom and bloom into a large beautiful flower.  Right now at this moment it is full of potential.  All it needs is a little bit of sunshine, water, and time.

It is easy to judge ourselves and others on what we see before us, when in actuality we all have so much potential inside of us.  Sometimes all we need is a little sunshine, water, and time to reach our full bloom.

Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows

~Weekly Product Highlight~Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows~

 

wp-1459775132409.jpg

I absolutely LOVE this product it is by far one of the best eyeshadows I have ever had.  It never creases, fades, or flakes, and a little bit goes a long way and lasts all day.   These shadows are packed with pigment and shimmer.They are available in 24 beautiful shades and generally cost around $7 USD. Some of my favorites shades are Always Pearly Pink, Amber Rush, and Liquid Diamond.

As you can tell from the above picture, these shadows swatch amazingly beautifully.  They go onto the eyes just as beautifully.  They have a velvety super smooth texture that has a cream to powder finish.  The color payoff is amazingly rich without any creasing or fallout.

Amber rush is seriously gorgeous.  It reminds me a lot of Chopper from Urban Decay minus the fall out.  The color payoff from just a single swipe with the finger is amazing!  The below swatch is one swipe of Amber Rush and Chopper is applied wet.

I have so many other high end eye shadows from MAC, Urban Decay, Lorac, and the Balm, the pigmentation of these Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows is so concentrated that I might almost say that it is better than all those other more expensive shadows.

To be honest it is not all perfection…I am going to warn you, if you don’t close the cover completely it will dry out. On the top of the little plastic protector that comes with the shadow it says Do Not Discard, it means it, don’t throw it out or the shadow will be all dried out and unusable.  Also  don’t press the gray insert down onto the shadow too tightly.  I learned the hard way that it will squeeze out all the liquid and also cause the shadow to dry out quickly. Since they have that kind of a powder/cream consistency you cannot use a brush to apply them. (It is similar to Color Pop shadows.) They are best when applied with the fingers.  If you always prefer to use a brush to apply your shadows these are not the shadows for you.

What does the Loreal Website have to say about it?

Velvety formula. Fadeproof. Waterproof.

For the 1st time ever, L’Oréal Paris introduces an ultra intense eye shadow that lasts from day until dawn—a full 24 hours. This revolutionary formula fuses the ease of a powder with the velvety caress of a cream to create a unique hybrid that glides on effortlessly. And with its unique technology, your eyes are enhanced with pure, magnified pigment.

Make a lasting impression without batting an eye.

-Intense, maximized color
-Luxurious powder-cream texture
-24-hour long-lasting hold
-Waterproof, crease resistant, fade resistant

e.l.f. Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette

Has anyone tried out this new e.l.f. Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette?

I am wondering if it is a good one worth getting?  I LoVe my Mad for Matte Palette and am wondering if this one is the same level of quality. (I already have the Wet N Wild Au Natural Nude Awakenings Palette which is really good, but not all of the shadows are over the top great.)  For only $10 I really can’t go wrong, I just don’t know if I want to add another palette to my collection to take up more room.

Let me know in the comment section what you think and if I should get it!  I trust your opinions!

Tips and Tricks

Tip Tuesday #35

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday: Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

This week’s tip is to use coconut oil as a makeup remover

I have mentioned before that I have to wear waterproof mascara if I want my lashes to stay curled.  Since it is waterproof most regular cleanser will not remove my mascara.  I like to remove every single little bit of my makeup every night, so I needed to figure out a way to get all my waterproof mascara off.  That is when I discovered coconut oil as a makeup remover.

Trader Joe's coconut-oil | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Coconut oil is great for so many things, but one of my favorite things to use it for is a natural makeup remover.  A small amount goes a very long way, so a jar or bottle will last a long time!

I start with my eyes since it takes a little while for the oil to breakdown the mascara. I use take one pump of fractionated coconut oil or one tiny scoop of organic unrefined coconut oil.  I rub it gently on my eyes in a circular motion.  I let that settle in while I remove the rest of the make up from my face.

To remove the rest of the rest of my face makeup, I gently rub coconut oil in a circular motion all over my face. I wash it all off with a warm wet wash cloth*.

*You don’t want to let the coconut oil filled water that you rinse off your face with go down the drain.  Over time it will harden and clog up your pipes.  Pretty gross!
