Technopagan FOTD - 12/30/14

I decided to test out my most exciting Christmas present to wear, OCC Technopagan! It is just as beautiful in person as everyone's swatches had led me to believe. I love it! I could wear it everyday and be the happiest girl in the world. You know the color is good when the lovely girl who was checking me out at Trader Joe's was gushing over it and before I left told me to keep rocking that lip!

For my face I have been doing my current usual routine. I am really loving the look of the Revlon foundation I have been using. It seems, to me at least, to match my skin tone. It doesn't broadcast any dry spots on my face. Best of all? It doesn't settle into any of my fine lines. It looks better on me than MUFE HD foundation and is a better everyday foundation that Illamasqua Skin Base because of the price point. I will be repurchasing when I go though the two bottles I have now. My only complaint? It doesn't have a pump. :(

How can you not just be filled with joy when you see such a wonderful lip color!?

December 2014 Most Used + Loves

What have I been using and loving this month? Let's find out!

Eylure x Katy Perry Lashes - Sweetie Pie
I really liked the natural look of these. I used them for Christmas Eve dinner. I initially planned to use the Ardell demi wispies everyone raves about, but they were just too dramatic for the occasion (and the fact that I have never wore lashes before). What I liked best about these lashes is that I can do a thick liner and just pop these on and instantly look like I have natural lashes again. Is it just me, or do you find there's nothing you can do to make your lashes visible with a super thick liner. No amount of mascara seems to help me!

Makeup Geek Pigment - New Year's Eve
Just pat this baby on over whatever kind of glitter glue you like, and POW! instant party look. Simple and sparkly!

Illamasqua Powder Blusher - Hussy
I got this for Christmas last year after I had been dreaming of owning it for what feels like forever. I can tell you, it did not disappoint. I love it! Its nice and pigmented, and I think it looks good on me.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Amsterdam and Cannes
I have recently fallen in love with the formulas of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. They are easy to apply, and layer, and eventually become mostly matte without totally drying out your lips. Lovely!

China Glaze Hey Sailor with Essie Matte About You Topcoat
My favorite, matte red everything!

Manic Panic - Hot Hot Pink, Purple Haze, Electric Lizard
My current hair color combination. Let me tell you I am seriously feelin' it. I think I could be rocking this look for quite a while. <3
