The Basics - What You Should Have in Your Collection

Hello Everyone!

Welcome Back to ABC!

 
I am extremely sorry for not posting on here for a while. Things have been very crazy, and I have been procrastinating. I will do another Update post in a week or so.
 
The other day, I had a request from a friend. Her request was to create a blog with a list of products that I think would greatly benefit any person that is either just starting to wear makeup, or anyone that just needs more makeup on a budget.
 
So, below, I am going to be giving my recommendations for Skin Care and Makeup, on a budget. I will be focusing mainly on drugstore products, but some will be from "highend" companies online, such as Morphe Brushes and Makeup Geek. I will link any products I find online.

I am so sorry to everyone for being MIA the past few weeks. Things have been very hectic around here for a while. So, I just wanted to get on, and post a small update.
 
Read until the end for a contest!
 
First of all, yes, we did just move about 2 weeks ago. But now, my fiancĂ© (AJ) and I are looking for our own place now. Currently, we are living with his mother. We have a few apartments we are going to look at on Tuesday afternoon, and I am really hoping that one of them are the ONE!
 
Also, I just got a new job! I will be working at a local grocery store, called Shaw's. Yes, its a grocery store, but it is a job, and money. I am very excited for this job.
 
So, basically, my life is going to be pretty hectic for a while. Therefore, I will be posting one post a week, rather than every 2-3 days. I think I will be posting on Wednesdays from now on. They will always be posted between 11am-4pm Eastern Time.
 
I have a list of Looks I am going to be doing, and different things I am going to do. I think I will be using the same posting schedule every month...
Week 1: Tutorial on a Look
Week 2: Week 2 Tips
Week 3: Tutorial on a Look
Week 4: Product Review / New Products
Occasionally, when there is a week 5, I will do some type of Swatches of my Collection, such as Lippies, Eye Shadows, Blushes, etc.
 
If anyone has any requests, or recommendations, for a post, please let me know!
 
!!!!!CONTEST!!!!!
 
I am looking for someone to design a photo I can use as my signature at the end of my posts. I would like for it to say "XOXO- AudreyBreeanne". But I encourage you to use artistic freedom!
 
The winner of this contest will get 2 FREE MakeupGeek Eyeshadows! (your choice of shade)

Welcome back to ABC, everyone!



Today, I am going to post a tutorial for the look above. I am calling it an Everyday Glam look. It is a bronze, cat eye with a pinky purple lip.
Just a disclosure - my skin is kind of horrible right now. I have a lot of acne from stress and hormones. The main ones you will see are on my cheek, eye lids, and one right below my nose above my cupid's bow. Please just excuse them!
I also used my BH Cosmetics 3rd Edition 120 Eye Shadow palette. The photo of the Numbering System I use is below!
I hope you all enjoy this look!

BH Cosmetics 3rd Edition 120 Eye Shadow Palette Numbering System

Step 1:
First, I filled in my brows LIGHTLY using my Femme Couture Perfect Arch Soft Powder Brow Pencil in Dark Brown. Then, I used my eos lip balm on my lips, and my e.l.f. Eyelid Primer on my eyelids, and just blended that out. 
After allowing the Primer to dry for about 20 seconds, I applied my Crease shade (Tray 1 Row B #2)(Right). Then used my Transition shade (Tray 1 Row D #2)(Left) to blend out my crease shade. 

Step 2:

I then used (Tray 2 Row E #1) for my Outter V (outter corner of my eye). Then I used my transition shade to blend this color out just bit. 








Step 3:
 

Then I used (Tray 2 Row B #1) All over my lid. I covered the outter v shade also, but the darker color still came through as darker than the rest of the lid.








Step 4:


At this point, I felt that the look was still a little too bland, so i decided to add a brighter gold color to just the CENTER of the lid. I used (Tray 2 Row F #2). I forgot to take a picture of this step on my eye, so you'll be seeing it after I've added liner. I used e.l.f. Liquid Liner in black.


I also used my e.l.f. Brightening Eyeliner Kohl Pencil to Tightline my eyes.










Then, I just added Maybelline the Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara. And the Eyes are done.






Step 5:

To Finish the Look--

I used my L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation in N1-2. I applied this with my generic brand beauty blender sponge.

Then to conceal and brighten under my eyes, i used my Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer in Ultra Light. I applied this with my fingers, and blended it out with a paddle style, traditional foundation brush. This is currently my favorite way to blend out my concealer. I also applied this to the bridge of my nose, above my cupid's bow, chin, and center of my forehead to down between my brows.

To set my Foundation and concealer, I used my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Honey/Medium 3-4. I applied this with a fluffy, powder brush.




To contour, I used an eyeshadow from the BH Cosmetics Palette (Tray 1 Row E #2). I contoured my cheek bones, temples, jawline and neck. Sorry, I don't have a photo of this....

For Blush, I used Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. I used an angled contour/blush brush to apply this to the apples of my cheeks.
Then i used a stippling brush to blend the contour and blush on my cheeks together. 

To Highlight, I used my Hard Candy Bronzer in Tiki. I have NO idea why this is classified as a bronzer, as it is OBVIOUSLY a highlight.... I highlighted the high points of my cheek bones, down the bridge of my nose, center of my forehead to between my brows, cupid's bow and my chin. 

For my lips, I lined and filled them in with Rimmel London Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in Red Diva. (no photo again. sorry!)

Then, I applied Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Rose Hip.



Here is the final look! -






I hope you guys enjoyed this look! Let me know down below if you have any requests on future looks!

Thank you sooo much for reading!

How To: Clean Your Makeup Brushes in LESS THAN 10 STEPS!

Hello!! Welcome back to ABC.
 
This last week, and the next week, has been and will be crazy busy with us moving and everything. I am also not sure when the internet/wifi will be hooked up at our new home. So, I am going to TRY to blog a little from my phone. Those will not have pictures. So, I will probably just do short and simple ones.
Since I was unable to sit down and do a makeup look, which took me about 1.5hrs for the last one, I decided that I would do a quick How To Clean Your Brushes tutorial! This is SUPER simple, less than 10 steps!
 
Lets get started!
 
Step 1: Lay out Brushes
 
 
 
You will want to grab ALL of your brushes that need to be cleaned. I lay them out on a plate, so they don't roll off the counter, onto the floor, and they are at easy access for me to grab. Also, because when they are wet, they NEED to be laying on their sides!
 
Step 2: Wet the Brush
 
 
 
Under warm water, I hold the brush at a downward angle. The water should only hit the hairs of the brush. Try to keep the hand that holds the handle dry! If water gets between the metal part and the handle, it could cause the glue to loosen and the handle to fall off. (If the handle does fall off, I use clean nail polish or super glue on the handle, and stick it back into the metal piece, lay down and let dry several hours.)
Step 3: Dispense Soap/Antibacterial Cleaning Product
 
 
 
Next, you want to dispense a SMALL amount of soap to your wet hand. (Excuse my prune fingers. I washed 10 brushes before this photo.) I use this AMAZING Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo. First, the smell is amazing. Second, it has Tea Tree oil in it. Tea Tree has Antibacterial Properties, which makes it perfect to clean brushes. The main reason we clean brushes is to reduce breakouts, which are caused by what?? BACTERIA! So, this shampoo will KILL the bacteria that clings to the pores of the hair on your brush. If you notice you're breaking out more than normal, ALWAYS wash your makeup brushes first, and throw away any sponges. You can use Antibacterial Hand soap, baby shampoo, or special brush shampoo you can find at any beauty supply store. Such as Sally's, Ulta, or Sephora.

 
Step 4: Apply Soap to Brush
 
 
 
Now, you want to dip the tip of the brush in the soap you chose to use. I normally just cover the tips of the hairs with soap. That is normally my guideline to tell me that I have enough soap on the brush to efficiently clean it.
Step 5: Clean the Brush
 
 
 
On your still damp hand, you will want to rub the soap into the hairs by doing circular motions. You will want to do clockwise and counter-clockwise motions. If you feel the brush isn't making enough bubbles, or lather, just add a little more water to the brush and continue moving the brush in circular motions. Do this for about 20 seconds.
 
 
Step 6: Rinse the Brush
 
 
 
Doing the same circular motions as before. But this time, UNDER the running water. Again, be sure the brush is at a downward angle. Rinse until the water runs clean, and no more suds.
 
Step 7: Wring out the Hairs/ Shape the Brush
 
 

 
Now, just gently squeeze out the excess water, and shape the brush. The shape will not look identical to the before (Dry) brush. Just be sure to make sure they're are not any hairs that are shedding, or sticking out in crazy directions. Just get it in the general shape as it should be when dry.
 
Step 8: Set Aside
 
 
Now, Just set the brush aside while you finish cleaning the rest of your brushes.
 
Step 9: Let Dry
 
 
So, for this, you will want to fold a towel up. Make sure one side is thicker than the other side. Lay this on a FLAT surface. Now, lay the brushes on the towel, with the hairs on the LOWER side, and the handle on the THICKER side. If you have any double ended brushes, I start by putting the bigger brush head side on the lower side, and then just rotate every 2-3 hours. Let the brushes dry for 6 hours or so.
 
 
So, there you have it! Brush Cleaning in 9 steps! Can't get any easier than that!

What's in My Bag?

Hello Hello!
Welcome back to ABC!
 
I am so sorry I have not posted on here in a few days. I have been super busy helping my fiancé's mother and sisters get things packed to move next week. So, after this post, I might be a few days late posting for another week or so.
 
Today, I am going to do a quick "What's in your bag?"
 
 
This is my purse. It is a Rose Gold Mondani New York bag. I love this bag. It has 3 HUGE pockets, with 1 interior zipper pocket. The interior lining is black and white vertical stripes. The 2 main pockets can be closed with a magnetic button closure, and the middle pocket is a long, thin zipper pocket. It is very slouchy, and very comfortable to carry around daily. Plus, you can fit A LOT into it. I used this purse when I was traveling to Ohio to see my family, and I fit a book, notebook, drink, wallet, keys, gum, and a ton more into it. Also, I paid nothing for this purse. It was a hand-me-down from my Aunt Amber, who's birthday was yesterday! Happy late Birthday, Aunt Amber!
 
 
The first 2 things I have in my purse are my wallet and coin purse. My wallet is a neon turquoise color. I got this from Target for $20, I think. The coin purse is from Walmart, I think we paid like maybe $5 for this. I love it though. It is pretty big, for a coin purse. And I LOVE the design of half zebra, half leopard with pink and purple lip prints.
 

 

 
 
 
The next things I found, are just some medicines. Some Tylenol and Flexural. The Tylenol is just for regular aches and pains, but occasionally I have to take Flexural for muscle pains in my side and back.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The next thing I have is this amazing smelling fragrance from Victoria Secret. It is Victoria's Secret Angel GOLD Fragrance Mist. I paid $10 for this 2.5fl oz size. It smells EXACTLY like White Diamonds. It takes my back to my childhood when Nanny (my mom's mother) would let me try all of her perfumes. White Diamonds was her signature scent when I was little. Every time I spray this, I instantly am taken back to her.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The next thing is just a business card holder that I got from Vista Print, for about $5, I think. I always carry this with me, even though the businesses aren't up to date. Just incase someone wants my blog site. I wrote the website on the reverse side.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Next, I have my perfect nude gloss. I don't wear gloss very often, but I carry this with me, just incase I decide to change my lip color during the day, or when I forget to put on a lip....... We all know that happens at least once in a while! This one is Luxe by Younique Cosmetics (I used to sell). It retails for $16, I believe.
 
 
 
 
Next, I have my car adaptor for my phone charging cord. I picked this one up at a dollar store for less than $5.
 
 
 
 
Next, I just have a couple packs of smashed gum. Juicy Fruit and Orbit Spearmint. My 2 favorites.
 
 
 
 
Next, I just have some extra nose rings. I carry these with me incase I decide to change the one I have in normally, or accidentally lose the one I have in, if it falls out.. Which luckily has not happened YET! Knock on wood.....
 
 
 
Last but not least, are my keys!..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Pink "A" heart, the Peach Zebra Heart Locket, the Pink Tiara, and the Zebra heart are all gifts from my best friend, Meaghan! Then I have some pepper spray from my mom, because you can never be too careful about self defense. Lastly, I have my Daddy's Keys. My mom kept these after my dad passed away in 1997, and I asked her one day if I could have them. Carrying them with me, makes me feel like I am carrying him with me, in a way. The Angel Wing with round tag, is a Christmas present that I got when I was in Ohio. My mom bought it for me, from my Daddy. She has been starting to buy me some gifts from my dad. The tag says "I will carry you with me, until we met again." The "Aloha Maui" Keychain was a gift from my Grandma. On the other side it says "Audrey - Aukele". My Grandma and Aunt Stacey (her sister) bought this key chain for my Great Grandma Audrey when they went to Hawaii a few years ago. Before my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa passed away, they promised anything that said "Audrey" on it, so my Grandma gave this to me.
 
So, that was all that is in my bag!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
 
I will talk to you guys in a few days! (hopefully with a tutorial!)

Ultra lightweight, this high-tech formula melds like a second skin to give you full coverage in an instant. For complete coverage, just keep building; no matter how much you apply, Naked Skin Concealer always blends beautifully and NEVER settles into fine lines.
We loaded Naked Skin Concealer with lots of ingredients that are good for your skin. Matrixyl 3000 contains anti-wrinkle peptides to improve skin’s youthful appearance and elasticity. Japanese green tea revitalizes and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. Litchiderm™ (derived from lychee fruit) protects against dehydration, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion. And sodium hyaluronate helps skin attract and retain moisture.
Practical and travel-friendly, this formula comes in a gorgeous bottle that’s like a smaller version of our Naked Skin Liquid Makeup component. The modern flocked applicator lays down just the right amount of product, and it’s soft enough to use on the delicate skin under the eyes.
Naked Skin Concealer comes in a range of meticulously calibrated shades that coordinate with Naked Skin Powder Foundation. Our shade-matching system provides a clear starting point for finding your perfect shade: the first part represents shade intensity, and the second indicates shade undertone.

New technology gives Moondust an amazing effect not found in traditional pressed-powder shadows. It feels like a cream but goes on like a powder to create a smooth, brilliantly reflective look. The result? Sexy, twinkling sparkle with a ton of depth and movement. (And a LOT of questions about what you’re wearing!)
We recommend applying Moondust with your fingers. For extra intense color payout, try it wet.

From new shades like Baked Cowboy (an amazing golden bronze) and Moonshadow (a stunning bright navy blue) to cult classics like Sin, Mushroom and Blackout, Shadow Box has something for everyone.

Urban Decay Perversion Travel Size Mascara- Retail Price $12
So intense you might need a safe word, Perversion Mascara glides on and gets you sexy in one stroke. Yet it won’t quit until you say when. And now that it’s travel-sized, you can take it with you wherever you go. This ultra-creamy, lengthening, volumizing formula coats each lash with triple-black pigments and a deeply nourishing ingredient blend—for bigger, blacker, badder lashes. It’s sick how black it is…the purest, deepest, most intense black color imaginable.
Perversion has a creamy, full-bodied texture that’s not too dry, not too wet. This allows just the right amount of “pull” so it glides through lashes. The result: incredible control for insane lashes. Go ahead and pile on coat after coat. Want to apply more before you go out at night? No problem. Even if it’s been all day since you applied, more Perversion always means more beautiful lashes. It NEVER gets brittle or clumpy.
Perversion Mascara contains Hairdensyl, a complex blend of proteins and amino acids—including marine glycogen, known to stimulate lash growth. Honey extract provides deep nourishment, sea idrolized elastine stimulates the hair follicle, and marine collagen protects.
The twisted trim on the high-tech, volumizing brush latches on to each lash to separate and define; finally, a volumizing mascara with a clean, clump-free finish. It pulls through lashes smoothly and lays down a generous amount of product. No need to wiggle the wand or maneuver it at all different angles!
 
Urban Decay Mascara Resurrection- Retail Price $16
The hardest part about touching up your makeup before a night out? Not being able to reapply your mascara. Until now. The ultimate do-over, Mascara Resurrection brings your mascara back to life so you can keep piling it on. Like a killer lash comb in liquid form, this clear refreshing serum combs through lashes to soften mascara and get your lashes ready for another coat. And the curved fiber brush really grabs onto lashes and separates them. There’s NOTHING else like it!
Want to top off your mascara later in the day? A quick coat of this serum makes lashes pliable and ready for more. If you botched your mascara or didn’t pull it through well, simply comb Mascara Resurrection through your lashes to refresh, then reapply mascara. 
Our lightweight, oil-free formula contains a special blend of ingredients to moisturize lashes while helping with mascara wear. Copper powder and panthenol condition and bind moisture to the hair shaft, improving lash health while giving your mascara new life. 
 
 



Urban Decay SHEER Revolution Lipstick- Retail Price $22

The best of both worlds, Sheer Revolution Lipstick is everything you love about the original Revolution Lipstick—with a sheer, shiny finish. Every shade has a rich, creamy feel and a gorgeous, high-shine finish. Wait until you apply Sheer Revolution Lipstick for the first time—it feels amazing! Like our original formula, this sheer version hugs your lips and has a buttery-smooth application without feeling like it’s going to slide off. 
Our Pigment Infusion System™ gives Sheer Revolution Lipstick its super creamy texture, superior color dispersion and extended wear. The formula is laced with Maxi-Lip™ (which defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller), along with a nourishing blend of oils and antioxidants. Shea butter and jojoba, olive and babassu oils moisturize and condition, while vitamin C and vitamin E provide a hit of antioxidants. 
Unlike a traditional bullet, Sheer Revolution Lipstick comes in a trimline-style component that supports its soft, creamy formula and prevents breakage while providing full-lip coverage in a single swipe.
We put this formula in our cool, custom-designed lipstick component; to set this sheer formula apart, we made the case light purple (instead of gunmetal like our traditional Revolution Lipstick case). Organically shaped facets make the case feel amazing in your hand; “Urban Decay” is debossed on the side of the lid, with “UD” debossed on the top of the cap.

This isn’t a shadow, it’s a shine. This extraordinary eye-enhancing, game-changing gloss can be swept on bare lids.

Milani Foil Eye Liner- Retail Price $6.99
This is so new, it’s hopping right off the Milan runway and into your makeup bag.

And there are two great ways to play these blendable beauties: For a “classic cat” look, extend the color just past the lashline.

Supreme Kohl Kajal Eyeliner- Retail Price $5.99
Soft but serious. With this new eyeliner, you get it all – and then some.

With this sleek gold multi-tasker, you can achieve three distinct looks:
1.To keep it natural, line the upper lid and inner rim.
2. For added drama, thicken the line and extend the tip.
