Fifth Eye Look: Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF,
Since I really liked last weeks eye look using my ABH Subculture palette that I decided to do another eye look with it. So, let's get into this weeks eye look.


Products I used:
Avon Eyeshadow Primer Light Beige
Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture eyeshadow palette:
Destiny: Crease
Dawn: brow bone
Axis: lid and bottom lid
Electric: inner corner 
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Makeup Revolution Renaissance Flick Eyeliner Pen 
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara 01 Big Is The New Black

I wanted to do an all green Christmas eye look with this palette but first I primed my eyelids with my Avon primer. I started by putting Destiny in my crease which is a matte mossy green color. I then put Dawn which is cream matte shade on my brow bone and to blend out the edge of Destiny. Since I have not used Axis yet which is beautiful matte blue/green. I thought it would look so pretty all over the lid. I then put Electric in my inner corner which you know I love this duo chrome shadow that's green and gold. I put on my Renaissance flick liner with my normal wing. I then put on my mascara which I been liking the Lancome Monsieur Big. I lined my lower lid with Benefit High brow pencil and put Axis on my lower lid to smoke it out. I really love how this eye look came out. I have been loving every look with this Subculture palette. 💚💚💚

JCPenney, Marshalls and Ulta Beauty Hauls

Hello my MJF tars,
I have a collective haul from JCPenney, Marshalls and Ulta Beauty that I wanted to share with you. So, let's get into what I hauled this time.


I saw few things on the JCPenney that I could not pass up. I saw this cute Juniors plus womens crew neck of The Little Mermaid. It was $29 but got it for $12.59 with coupons. I just looked online and they have it on sale for $7.49, so if you love the little mermaid like me you should totally pick it up.


I also saw this Juniors Plus Womens Crew Neck Long Sleeve Nightmare Before Christmas Sweatshirt. I love this sweater it thinner fabric than I though and more form fitted which I like loose fit but still love it. It's more a long sleeve shirt then sweatshirt. It was$44.00 but I got it for $17.49. They still have it online but my size is sold out so I'm happy have it. 


I also wanted to get a puffer vest. So I saw this one from Xersion in the plus size womens section. I ordered the navy color in a size bigger than I usually wear because vest are usually made size smaller. As you can see I have Pine (green) vest. I returned it to my store and tried on all of the colors and really loved the green, so I got that instead but I might have to get it in another color because I love this vest. It was $49.00 but I payed $20.29. It is on sale right now for $12.74.


I went to Marshalls to just look around and found some Stila Liquid Shadows for $6.99 and had to get two of them. I got one of the Litte White Lies in the shade Lilac Legend. I also got one of the Shade Mystere in the shade Mythical.  


I also picked up a new pair of slippers. I saw these cute ones from Dearfoams for $12.99.


I went to Ulta before Halloween to pick up this L.A.Girl Pro Coverage HD high definition long wear illuminating foundation in white for my costume. It was $8.99  but also on sale for $6.29 then I had a coupon for 20% off so it was $5.03. I like this foundation and it worked nicely for my costume. I wish is was a matte finish but it was long wearing like it clams. It was not too heavy either and did cover my redness.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls and all the good deals I got this time.

Second Eye Look: Covergirl Trunaked Sunsets Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
Since I only used Covergirl Trunaked Sunset palette only once. I thought I would use it again. So, let's get into what I created this time with this palette.


Avon Eyeshadow Primer Light Beige 
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
Covergirl Trunaked Sunsets Eyeshadow Palette:
Sundown: crease and lower lid 
Afterlight: inner and center eyelid 
Aura: brow bone 
Eve: outer v
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Makeup Revolution Renaissance Flick Eyeliner Pen 
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara 01 Big Is The New Black
Stila Shade Mystère Liquid Eye Shadow Mythical: Center of lid on top of Afterglow 

I primed my eyelid with my Avon primer. I then put Sundown in my crease. I then put Aura in my brow bone and blended out the edge of Sundown. Next, I used my NYX glitter primer for my shimmer shadows to stick to. I put Eve on my outer v. I then put Afterlight in my inner and center of my eyelid. I then did my normal winged liner with my Revolution Flick liner. I then lined my lower lid with Benefit pencil and put Sundown on top. I also put on mascara which I have been using the Lancome. I also wanted to use one of my Stila liquid shadows that I recently got. So, I used Mythical from the Mystère collection on top of Afterlight. I really love how it looks on top of Afterlight and it bring more purple in this eye look. I'm really happy with how this eye look came out. I so need to do another eye look with this palette.
