Candy Yum Yum Lips Silver Eyes

Hi gaspgirls

Its been a while!! I am definitely in the thick of  summer and have been really busy traveling but I really wanted to post something for you. I saw this look on Twitter a couple weeks created by the very talented Pat McGrath if you don't know who she is as the song says you betta "google her baby!" Well anyway she is an awesome makeup artist and creative-design director for Proctor and Gamble, where she is in charge of Covergirl cosmetics, among other brands.)   I was truly inspired and had to give this a try

TheLook at @dior Cruise in #Monaco
 

I used a silver eyeshadow from my BH Cosmetics Jenni Rivera palette and MAC Candy Yum Yum to recreate the look.

Sea Foam Eye Color

Good morning gasp girls!

I am really enjoying my Lorac GloGetter palette and it is definitely traveling with me all summer. So I decided that I need to get more acquainted with this palette and practice some colorful summer eye looks. Here's the first one:

Covergirl Queen lipstick in Penelope Pink and NYX Toast lipliner

I used the sea foam color 4 colors in all over my lid, the brown in the crease, and shimmery cream on my brow bone.

So, it is my pleasure to bring to you another "Werk it Wednesdays" where we coordinate our makeup with our fashion (no matchy matchy). In this collage, which can also be found on Polyvore.com I add pops of pink to a mint and black springy ensemble.  I think  perfume, mascara, and lipstick are just a few of the companions a girl needs to go out and face the world.

MAIL MONDAYS!!!! Mary Kay Lip Laccquers

Mary Kay Lip Lacquers


So I've decided that Mondays will be the day that I post hauls of purchases I've made online or via drugstore driveby, lol! Well either way this segment will be called Mail Mondays!! This Monday I have the awesome opportunity to showcase some fab new products from my wonderful Mary Kay consultant and fellow gasp girl Lindsay.

LtoR: Chai Latte and Pink Pagoda

So here's the 411. Mary Kay describes the lip lacquer as Intense, high-gloss formula glides on for a jelly finish that feels extremely moisturizing and smooth.
Each pot comes with its own retractable lip brush and holds .14 oz 
So I put these claims to the test and rated each one on a scale from 1 to 5.

Intense         
 2.5 I'm not really sure what "intense" was referring to but I didn't find the color or shine to be intense. Rich or creamy buildable coverage may be more accurate of a description. (just my view)
High-gloss
 3.5 It is not the glossiest lip product I own  (I have a pretty high standard for gloss though :) but it does give lips a glossy finish
Jelly finish     
5  Yes I definitely agree with this description. I love the jelly like feel, especially because its not at all sticky but really light.
Extremely Moisturizing and Smooth 
5 No disagreement here. It is like medicine for dry puckers everywhere!

The Brush
Each  pot came with its own little black retractable brush.  I found the brush cute and functional.  However for more intense color application I preferred using my finger. I don't know why  it just seemed to be more pigmented when applied that way.

Chai Latte to me is a creamy apricot beige

Pink Pagoda A Fuschia pink with purple flecks

 

Overall I'm satisfied with the product I give it a 4 out 5 for meeting most of their own criteria/description. If you are looking for a lip gloss that is highly pigmented this is not the product for you. Do keep in mind though that this product can be layered over lip liners and added to lipstick to add gloss and moisture.  I'd like to thank my wonderful Mary Kay Consultant Lindsay for getting me my products so fast. Ladies if you are looking for a great  MK consultant shes the gasp girl for the job contact her at www.marykay.com/lindsaykcole; 317-430-4786.  Hope this was helpful gg's!

Maybelline Color Vivids in Juicy Hues!!

Orange You Fabulous

I think by now you may have noticed that I am huge lip fanatic. I love bold color, even if I'm not able to pull off the look myself.  Yes honey, if I pick up a color that's a little challenging  for me I don't get discouraged. I just mix it with another color or a lip liner. No lip product goes unused on my watch.  If all else fails I settle for admiring the color on other fabulous gasp girls.  But, believe it or not orange is one of those colors that makes me pause.... so below I give it my best shot at wearing these orange and coral hues.

 

 

 Round 1

Maybelline Color Vivids Electric Orange

 Round 2

Maybelline Color Vivids Shocking Coral

For some reason they look the same in the pics.  In real life Electric orange is looks pretty much like the citrus fruit.  Shocking coral is much more pink.

Swatches

Left to Right: Maybelline Color Vivids in Electric Orange and Shocking Coral, Revlon Lip Butters in Tutti Frutti, Revlon Creme lipstick in Siren, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip balm stain in Rendezvous

Burnt orange, red/orange, brownish/orange so on and so on.  You can even go to Ullta and/or Sephora, or MAC and swatch yourself until your heart is content. So, there you have it ladies. Do you dare to paint your pout in orange? Well I hope so. Stay tuned for a fotd using one of these luscious colors.

"Werk It!" Wednesdays

Seeing Green!!

I'm not sure what it is, but lately when I've gone  shopping my eyes are automatically drawn to the color green.  Green shoes, green dresses, green accessories, you name it, Ive gasped over it. Emerald was deemed the 2013 Pantone color of the year and I couldn't agree with that decision more.  I'm personally in love with all shades of green from mint to lime, and right now there is no shortage of nature inspired shades to choose from.

So I know your wondering Gasp Girl how do you paint the canvas of your face to compliment all that green in your outfit.  Well I'm sure glad you asked because that is what "Werk It!" Wednesdays is all about! Its about giving you the best color options to coordinate with you clothes not match them.

For this outfit there are many color combos possible;bronze, orange, melon, and lilac (just to name a few). I chose to keep the colors rosy and sweet. Nothing on the eyes except 2-3 coats of mascara of course ;).

NYX Blush in Pinched, Forever 21, Hot Pink Matte lipstick, YSL Voluminous mascara

.

Other Product Choices:
Covergirl Queen Collection lipstick in Penelope Pink
Covergirl Queen Collection jumbo gloss balm in Radiant Rose
Wet n Wild blush in Pearlescent Pink
Loreal Voluminous Fiber False Lash effect mascara (one of my favs!)

That's all for today ladies! Please fill free to leave comments, questions, and subscribe and remember I'm......
