FAST GREEN (Christmas Tree GREEN)

Excuse the hair, and the face. I came right out the shower and didn't bother. We were in a hurry to go to the store to pick up items for dinner. I literally did this eyeshadow look in 5 minutes! I have been loving my Urban Decay Book of Shadows II. It really was worth its $48. I really do love this palette and use it often. I also wanted to use my MAC "Swimming" as well. I have two of them (buying another by accident lol) but glad I did because it came out sooo beautiful and pigmented. This look is super easy, and not so fancy... but a nice look for something quick ;D

Beauty From The Earth (Mint & Deep Blue Greens)

Beauty from the Earth Cosmetics owner Crystal gave me the chance to try a few of her pigments about a month ago. I took tons of swatches and reviews when my computer decided to die on me. I was so upset, since I had looks to upload and so much work done. So now I'm redoing some looks I had done before they got lost. Tonight I will be uploading the swatches and product info.

I did this look to do some shopping with the family for Thanksgiving. I love the Mint color, it's been a color I've been looking to get. I needed a really good pigmented Mint and this is the perfect mint shade. Illusion is also one of my favorites, being a beautiful blue green.

I hope you like this look, please comment!

Review & Swatches Motives Cosmetics by Loren Ridinger

I was recently contacted by Thao on Facebook regarding if I heard of Motives Cosmetics. I have never heard of the company and was very curious after visiting the website she provided. She proceeded then to give me the wonderful chance to try and review Motives cosmetics. I told her that I always give honest reviews, and she proceeded to tell me "You will find that the quality of the makeup is comparable to Chanel but the prices are in line with Nars and MAC. I'm sure you will have fun with it."

Packaging
I received my package, and as you can see by the pictures below, I was very excited & honored to receive so many products to try. Honestly, when I opened the package I could not get over how beautiful the packaging was and how well it was made. I'm never the one to buy makeup because of packaging, but as a added bonus I was quite pleased. The products are very well made, with a frosted top and black bottom package. When you buy MAC, Urban Decay or other high end products, they don't feel .. well made at all, almost plastic, and very easy to break. When you use this line, you feel like you paid for what you get. Seriously, I feel very special when I use these, they feel so expensive!

Blushes, Loose Powder & Creme eyeshadow
Blushes retails for $13.50
The blushes are awesome. I will probably say awesome a lot in this review but honestly these products are amazing!! The blushes are extremely soft & easy to use. Highly pigmented and are easily picked up with my blush brush. I'm obsessed with "Summer Fun" and use it almost everyday! It really is the perfect color. I've been using them on some of my clients, and they blend well to every skin tone! It really gives a airbrush feeling to the cheeks.

Creme Eyeshadow retails for $15.75
This creme shadow is perfect for a base, or left alone for a nice day time look. It has flecks of gold and has this golden duo base that is gorgeous on the lid. It's extremely soft, and applies & sets quickly. I use this while applying Motives eye shadows to give the shadows a long lasting stay & add additional sparkle to the shadow look.

Loose Powder retails for $21.00
Make up Forever makes a HD powder that retails for $35.00. THIS is it's twin, for much much less! I enjoy this because unlike the HD powder, this sets on my face without the white powdery finish. This is perfect for setting your foundation and giving you a matte feeling all day. I was very scared to use this since my HD powder was recommended so highly and it sucked! lol but this worked out so good for me and I haven't had a powder look since.

Pressed Eye Shadows
Eye shadows retails for $12.50
WOOO! I was so excited to try them. As soon as I opened them up and swatched them I had to use them right away. They are so extremely pigmented I was shocked! Soft and ranging from matte to lustre these look awesome on the lid. Seriously, these are so comparable to MAC eye shadows, I have a hard time distinguishing between the both as in quality. I will be posting looks regarding these, because since I got them I've been using them constantly. I will be seriously buying more of these shadows when I get the chance.

Eyeliner, Mascara, Lip Liner, Lipstick & Lip Gloss
Mascara retails for $16.95
Mascara gives a very natural look. Not as good as my Voluminous, but I like more of a black & thicker feeling to my lashes. But if your looking for a nice natural look to your lashes, then this is it! My lashes are very long but this product works well on them to seperate.

Lip Gloss $10.50
This lip gloss is very nice. Very juicy without feeling sticky which I was worried about. I stay away from a lot of MAC lip glosses due to the sticky-ness feeling. But these glide on very well. Very pigmented & shiny, they last very long over lipstick and liner.

Lip Liner $14.00
Very comparable to other high end liners, they glide on with ease. Pigmented and very easy to use. They are very smooth, and do not drag the lip at all.

Eyeliner retails for $14.00
WOO!! I LOVE THIS KHOL LINER. SOOO creamy and applicable, I use this liner almost every day as well. I love this coffee color liner, it applies and stays all day. I use on my waterline and on my lashline as well. It comes in a nice range of colors as well.

Lipstick $14.00
I WILL be ordering more of these guys lol. WOW the lipsticks are amazing. She sent the most beautiful colors and perfect for my skin tone. They are smooth and range from matte to slight sparkle. Paired with the blushes they look amazing on any skin tone. I used on several bridesmaids already that said they lasted all through the wedding! I highly recommend these.

Liquid Powder, Pressed Powder & Concealers
Liquid Powder retails for $24.00
This has changed my life!! This liquid foundation is untraceable on the skin! Seriously, I was very excited with this liquid foundation. I loved that it's in a squeeze tube for easy application right onto the face. I have no need for face primer, because it's included! It also has SPF 15 included. This liquid does not set in lines like Makeup Forever HD foundation did for me. I don't have many lines but for some reason that foundation did that to me. From now on I am going to be getting this for myself and my clients.. it provides awesome coverage with staying power.

Dual Perfection Powder retails for $20.00
Okay this is awesome <--see lol This powder you can use wet or dry! It sets awesome like MAC's studio fix without the heavy price tag or the breakouts you get from the MAC powder lol. This is great product for those who don't want to use liquid and still have coverage.

Photo Finish Pressed Powder retails for $24.00
I've used this on several photos with clients and the coverage is perfection over liquid foundation. I use this along with the liquid powder foundation and have soo many compliments on my skin.
