Naked 3 Tutorial: Everyday Romantic

Hello Beautiful,

        I finally caved and purchased the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette!And I have to tell you, this palette is stunning!!! I will be writing a full review when I have thoroughly tested it, but until then, I came up with a quick and easy everyday tutorial using this palette. 

1- Take the shade Limit and apply all over lids. Focusing on the crease but not limited to it. 

2- Take shade Nooner on a pencil brush and apply to crease creating a 'V' shape on outer corner of lid.

3- Pack Mugshot on top of lid only, focusing on outer part of eye. 

4- Pack Strange on inner lid only. 

5- Taking a pencil brush, apply Nooner to lower lash line.

6- Apply winged liner and mascara to complete look. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this easy everyday eyeshadow look using the Naked 3 palette. 

Until next time...

Sunday Night Thoughts: The 'I like all types of girls' guy

Hello Beautiful,

     I am just sitting here on this boring Sunday night, in my self-preserving mask of magnanimity from lush I might add. I thought I would write a post regarding something maybe other ladies can relate to. I have this friend who I have known for about 2 years now and he is older. I will admit that when I first met him, I may have had a little crushy-crush because he seemed super sweet and we got along quite well.

D.I.Y TEA TREE OIL TONER

Hello Beautiful, 

         Today I am going to give you a super easy and quick recipe for my current toner. When I say the words easy and quick, I mean it. This toner works best for oily or blemish prone skin types. Because it uses tea tree oil it works as an anti-bacterial to help fight new breakout and because it uses witch hazel it helps dry out the skin a bit and helps swelling to subside. 

Recipe

• I bottle of witch hazel (I purchased this 473 ml. bottle from Target for a mere $3 CAD)
• 10 drops of pure 100% Tea Tree Oil (I purchased mine at whole foods for $8 CAD)

 

 All you need to do it drop 10 drops of tea tree oil in your bottle of witch hazel. Note: If you have extremely sensitive skin, then I suggest diluting this with distilled water.  Give er a shake and voila! You very own homemade toner! I usually apply this with a cotton round after washing my face and follow up with a moisturizer and eye cream. I find this really helps to keep my acne at bay and under control. It is also natural which is also a bonus. I hope you enjoyed this quick post and let me know if you give it a try.

UD NAKED BASICS PALETTE REVIEW

A L I T T L E L I F E R A N T

Hello Beautiful Friends,

          I am back today with a little rant about what's been going on in my life and what is next for me, The Pretty Pauper. I know I do indeed have some loyal readers out there who love what I post and the content I provide, so I feel like I owe it to these guys. 

           The last month or so has been incredibly difficult and trying to deal has proved to be next to impossible. Let me explain...

90's Lip Trend ♥

Hello Beautiful People,

Fall 2014 Beauty & Fashion Trends ♥

Hello Beauties, 

        Today we are going to be discussing some fall trends I'm really looking forward to seeing this year. Since I rarely buy magazines anymore (which I should for the sake of this blog) I thought I would scan through pinterest to see what's poppin'. So here are some of the things I found and what I'm most looking forward to. 

Pantone's Colors of the Year

Every year a company called Pantone (I had to google what they hay this was and I am still stumped on who exactly Pantone is) releases a list of colors that we will be leading the trends of the year. This year there was a wide array of earthy, more muted tones from orchid to muddy green. Ofcourse they all have lovely imaginative names. I have a few favorites but my two favorites are Misted Yellow and Cypress. Misted Yellow is a in my words a good ol' burnt mustard yellow. I have always loved this color but I always overlooked it because if wasn't a "popular" color, yes, I left this color at the loser table even though I loved it. Im glad to see that it's finally Misted Yellows time to shine. Cypress is that muddy green we talked about. I really enjoy this more earthy tone and look forward to seeing what comes out in these shades this year. 

Long Cozy Cardigans

These guys made their appearance in the early 2000's and Im so glad they are back. These look super cute with skinny jeans and boots or dress it down with a pair of converse. They also come in a variety of shapes and colors. 

Deep, Rich Nail Polish Colors

Plums, Cobalt blues and Forest Greens, just to name a few. These gorgeous, rich colored digits look great on all skin tones. They also warm up any outfits. 

60's Inspired Outfits

I absolutely love when vintage inspired outfits come back into the fashion world. The cat eye glasses, the swing skirts, the Peter Pan collars, etc. This trend is sure to please everyone and their mother, for real, and their mother. I personally love the Cat Eye glasses frames. They really flatter an array of face shapes. 

Shoulder Length Hair

I personally LOVE this trend because I just cut my long hair off into a LOB hair style and Im glad I will be in trend this fall. There are a ton different looks you can do with this length and if you keep the layers long, you can get just about my updo. 

Minimal Eye Makeup

As much as I love my classing cat eye liner, I also love a simpler eye. I like layering on a good amount mascara to really help my eyes pop. You can also throw on a soft falsie style to help add a little pizazz! 

So those are some of my picks for this year fall trends! I hope you enjoy and let me know below, what fall trends are you excited about?

Until Next Time...
