Today's Make Up: I Want Candy!

Hiiiiiiiii guuuuys!! D-2 until Thanksgiving and I am in hyper mode running my butt off to make way for the food coma that's to come. :D

The roads and stores were packed today... already! I cannot imagine how it will be tomorrow, yet tomorrow, I'll have to make a final trip to the store to buy what's left on the list that is yet to be composed by my mom and aunt. :/ I will have a FANTASTIC time tomorrow trying to navigate my way through the stores and try not to curse too much while driving. Haha.

I took another trip to the airport today to pick up the last of the family friends that will be joining us for Thanksgiving this year. While we were out anyways, we decided to finish up the home shopping for their house. I usually don't like to stereotype, but I get why they say that Canadians are unnecessarily well mannered and polite. LOL. These guys might just be the most well mannered men I have ever seen in my life. 

Annnnnyways, on the face today are the semi-mess below. TOM is currently visiting so my face is exploding with zits... those nasty, disgusting unwanted zits. So I am trying to keep my face makeup as light as possible.

Today's Make Up: Father's Day Brunch

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!

Happy Father's Day to everyone out there. Although we should always show love and appreciation to our parents on a daily basis, today is especially the day to honor our fathers. I'm especially proud to call my Daddy, Daddy because this man not only brought me into this world, he went above and beyond to not only bring me up, but educate me and give me only the best of things in life.

We had a Father's Day brunch as one HUGE family, honoring five Dads at once. It was basically the family gathering from last night, part 2, only now, we're killing the dim sums.

I had my makeup on only for a brief time today because it came off as soon as I got home. There are a lot of housework to be done outside today and being glamorous is not one of them. The makeup came off and I slapped on some sunscreen.

No concealers were needed today so I jumped right to BB Cream after applying moisturizer. I evenly applied the BB Cream with a damp sponge to get the healthy, dewy glow. I set that with a Translucent Powder and used bronzer to contour and bring back some color to my face. I used the bright, pink blush from my That's Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette; I applied the blush to the apple of my cheeks with the sponge also to get the natural blushed cheeks. I also used the highlight from the palette as well.

I started off by priming my lids before picking up the pearly beige shade to my inner corner and browbone. With a flat eyeshadow brush, I packed the pink shade all over my lids some inner to outer corner. I flipped the brush around and packed the slightly darker beige shade on the latter half of my eyes, so basically mid eye all the way to the outer corner. With a pencil brush, I took the brown shade to the outer corner and outer V. I start by applying from the outer corner and work my way in so that the brown shade would also be on my crease but not as intense. I also applied that brown to 1/3 of my lower lash line starting from the outer corner. Starting from the inner corner of my lower lash line, I applied the Jewel-Light Under Eye Maker. I started out thick at the inner corner and gradually thinning it out as it meets the brown shadow on the latter half. I lined my upper lash line using my favorite liquid liner and applied mascara to the lashes.

To pair my lips with everything pink today, I wore Haute Pink Twist to give me subtle pink lips. It's just a great lightweight balm that served me well for the four hours that I needed it. More than that, I would have needed to reapply.

Thank you for joining me in another post everyone. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading! :)

Today's Make Up: Casual Family Dinner

Hellllllo Friday everybody! Hope your day has been well. I've been out and about, basking in the warm Spring Arizonan sun. Tis a good day.

So I just got a call informing me that there's gonna be a family dinner at Pacific Seafood Buffet tonight. Gotta look presentable, yet, not go overboard.
