Inspired by Dulce Candy Electric tutorial

Hello...

I just wanna say I am a big fan of Dulce Candy,  I have been watching her videos on YouTube since 2008.  She started off just making YouTube video in her closet, I think!  Anyways she became well known to the world as a beauty and fashion YouTube guru, got feature in top fashion magazines like Nylon, Cosmopolitan, Peoples Style Watch...etc.  

Here is my inspired Dulce Candy Urban Decay Electric tutorial look:


I have used the same eye shadows in her look. 

I had used TEASE from the NAKED 2 palette all over my crease and just blending upwards to the brow bone with light strokes.

With a few drops of MAC mixing medium and GONZO from the UD Electric palette all over my eye lids.

With the mixing medium again and taking REVOLT under the lower lash line.  Dulce didn't add anything in her inner corner but I decide to add a THRASH in my inner tear duct. ( you don't have to add anything to your tear duct but like I said above this is an inspired look, so I wanted to add something of me, do you get what I'm saying.)



I hope you enjoyed this inspired look and a very special shoutout to one of my favorite beauty guru Dulce Candy.  I hope some day I'll be able to meet you in person.

Oh and here is the list of the products I have used on my face.. ( in no particular order)

Loreal true match lumi foundation in w6
BeneFit fake it up in medium
theBalm sexy mama powder
Estée Lauder bronze goddess
Tarte Amazon clay blush in fearless
Giorgio Armani brow pencil in #2
Laura Mercier cake e/l in ebony black
Too faced better than sex mascara
MAC l/s in velvet teddy
UD pocket rocket l/g in Kirk


Stay tune for more looks and reviews...

Love.

MOTD featuring the Urban Decay Naked 3

Well... Here is an eye makeup look I had come up with just using the NAKED 3 palette.  I was really excited when I got it in the mail, and couldn't wait to use it, but as always when i got it i just stored it in my unopened makeup drawer and haven't touched it since. This is my first time using this palette.


The packaging is just GOREGOUS non the less and the shadows are great too.  I still favor the first NAKED palette just cause i get more use out of it, BUT... like i said this is my first time using this palette so I can't say I dislike or like it YET.


i used STRANGE as my under brow highlight.  then place DUST in my inner tear duct.   place NOONER as a transition shade above my crease and blend up to create a gradient affect.


place FACTORY on the outer crease and blend up towards NOONER.  took DARKSIDE in the Outer V and blend to define my eye socket.  take MAC Fit+ and TRICK then placing it all over the eye lid. 
Under the lash line place DUST, NOONER, FACTORY & DARKSIDE to create a gradient affect from light to dark.

About White Plus Renew by Laneige:
whiteplusrenewbanner2 Product Description: LANEIGE White Plus Renew Night Cream by AmorePacific
Spotless clear and bright skin has long been yearned for by every woman on earth since ancient times. Due to UV rays, stress, yellow sand, and exhaust gas found in our daily life, skin tone tends to easily get discolored, with more dry flakes and blotches like brown patches, freckles, and acnes. Also, such symptoms firstly appear to be present from eye areas, so called apple zone (From eye brows to 1CM underneath cheekbones), and get more and more darkened. Such dark and unclean apple zone gives discolored and spotted look to your entire face.
LANEIGE White Plus Renew Line, formulated with Manassantin B, an AMOREPACIFIC’s exclusive patented whitening ingredient, realizes the all day care system that completely takes care of the discolored apple zone, retexturizing your skin with more brightened and clarified look.


My favorite night cream EVER.
This is my favorite product in the whole line.  I’ve been using it since years now – since 2008 to be exact.

Unlike the essence and the emulsion, this cream isn’t too rich and fits oily skins perfectly.

Every single time I use it, my skin is crystal clear in the morning : bright, radiant and luminous.

It helped me to achieve an even skintone very quickly.


The texture is very thick, and you only need a pea size for your entire face and neck.

A little goes a long way, so even if this night cream is expensive it’s definitely worth it since it’s a long time investment.

Overall...

Like I said this night cream is my favorite night cream ever.
I’m amazed by the quick and nice results it gives.
Without much effort it gave me a beautiful, radiant and even skin.
Don’t forget to read my important tips at the beginning on this article, to make sure you use this night cream the correct way.

Beauty haul!

hello my lovelies....

It's been awhile since my last blog.  Here are a few items I had purchase just randomly and one particular item I can't live without.


So let's get started....

* I like to purchase my shades one shade lighter just because some foundation do however oxides on my skin due to the fact that I have large pores and oily skin.


Benefit BIG EASY!!!   
I just had to have this... I've seen a lot of reviews on this item and it's on my must have list.  I don't always like to wear foundation and I've been searching for a BB cream that is lightweight but also gives a great coverage, since this products claims it does all that plus it's a cream to powdery finish. 

The shade I got is in 05 Beige





Benefit Rockateur
I have been wanting this for so long!  I can finally cross this out of my wish list this year.  This absolutely gorgeous rose gold blush suits any skin color shades.





theBalm Sexy Mama  
retails for $20   Nordstrom
this is one item I can't live without.  It's great for those with oily skin like me.  This is an anti-shine translucent powder.  It keeps my oiliness at bay.  I always take this with me wherever I go. This is my HG!

theBalm Betty-Lou Manizer  
retails for $24   Nordstrom
This is a great bronzer and highlighter in one.  It is heavy on the simmer scale but so fine and blendable that it can be sheered out or build up to suit what you want.  It can be use as a highlighter in summer, and it can also be gorgeous on the eyes.




theBalm Bahama Mama 
retails for $20   Nordstrom
It looks really muddy on my skin tone, but  it is velvety and kind of creamy when I swatch it which is amazing.  I wouldn't recommend this for lighter skin tones but it should look great for medium to darker complexion.




theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer  
retails for $24   Nordstrom
This is my 4th time purchasing this amazing highlighter.  It is most definitely my HOLYGRAIL of all time.  A little goes a long way with this one.  I get a gorgeous natural glow when using this and a tons of compliments!  I will do a separate review on this product. So stay tune for that!




theBalm Put A Lid On It 
Retails for $18  Nordstrom
A quick drying primer designed to give your boldest looks staying power.  Packaged in an easy to squeeze tube, it's light reflective properties brighten and enhance lids, while skin soothing to ensure your favorite shades are anything but muted.


LANEIGE White Plus Renew Night Cream  
retails for $40  imomoko
A must have in my night routine.  This night cream is incredibly moisturizing.  It makes my skin feel a lot happier before I sleep.  The texture is a bit thick but I love the feeling and the look of how my skin looks in the morning.  My skin has become very radiant and has improved so much.  





Look out for some reviews coming soon!

stay tune for next time.

Urban Decay Haul

Hello my lovelies...

Here I have a haul for you from urban decay
Everything you see in this post were purchased with my own money. 
Let's get started with the unwrapping and the description of the products I got.


As you see here everything is packed nicely in the UD signature color wrapping paper.



It's bubble packed to make sure that delivery was safe and secured.

xospringbeauty.blogspot.com

The removal of the bubble wrap....




So lets get started with the samples they have sent me:

The NAKED lipgloss in naked.





And the infamous UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

This sample pack comes in 4 amazing formulas:

• ORIGINAL dries down invisibly.
• SIN goes the distance in a shimmering champagne shade.
• EDEN has a subtle nude matte finish that covers and brightens the eye area in seconds.
• ANTI-AGING measurably improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 8 weeks.





The two products I had purchased.

Finally I got my hands on this palette, better late then ever!  
UD NAKED 3 retail for $52


Naked3 includes a NEW double-ended shadow/blending brush AND an eyeshadow Primer Potion sampler with resealable samples of all four formulas (original, Sin, Eden and Anti-Aging).  Each sample holds about a weeks worth of primer!


Experience with 12 NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN (and insanely beautiful) rose-hued neutrals - from pale, shimmery pink to deep black matte with rosy red micro-glitter.


What You See Is What You Get:

Strange (pale neutral pink matte-satin), Dust (pale metallic pink shimmer w/iridescent micro-glitter), Burnout (light pinky-peach satin), Limit (light dusty rose matte), Buzz (metallic rose shimmer w/silver micro-glitter) and Trick (light metallic pinky-cooper shimmer w/tonal micro-sparkle).


Nooner (medium pinky-brown matte), Liar (medium metallic mauve shimmer), Factory (pinky-brown satin), Mugshot (metallic taupe shimmer w/slight pink shift), Darkside ( deep taupe-mauve satin) and Blackheart (smoky black matte w/rosy red micro-sparkle).

The ELECTRIC pressed pigment palette

This palette retails for $49

It's the ultimate fix of color addicts: ten of the brightest, most amazing shades you've ever laid your eyes on, plus a double-ended brush.  In addition to Chaos (a brilliant matte blue from The Vice Palette) and Revolt (a silver standout from the Anarchy Face Case).  All the other shades are NEW!


The case is as cool as the shades inside.  Emblazoned with "ELECTRIC" this slim, sleek palette features a vivid, dimensional, multilayered smoke-screen print reminiscent of the shades inside.  And the mirror is huge!


What You See Is What You Get:

Revolt (bright metallic silver shimmer w/silver glitter), Gonzo (bright turquoise matte w/floating tonal pearl), Slowburn (bright red-orange matte w/floating pearl), Savage (bright hot pink matte), Fringe (bright metallic teal), Chaos (bright blue matte w/ floating tonal pearl), Jilted (bright metallic fuchsia w/blue shift), Urban (bright metallic purple), Freak (bright green w/gold shift) and Thrash (bright lime green matte w/floating gold pearl).


Electric pressed pigment palette also includes a cruelty-free, double-ended pressed pigment brush (an all-black brush with bright purple synthetic brush fibers).  On one end: a compact precision brush that's perfect for applying color with amazing control.  On the other end: a small pigment brush.

Swatches and reviews will come soon on these palettes!  So stay tune.
