A Simple Pin-up look and a simple review

My fiance and I went out to the mall to look at what Sephora had for the Pantone Colour of the Year Collection. They had some pretty things, but I didn't buy because it was all animal tested since Sephora's in house brand is not cruelty free. They had a display with colours by other brands that matched the radiant orchid colour, but it was slim pickin's. I went to Macy's and bought a swim bottom instead so I could use my new YWCA membership to it's fullest. (Due to my disability the pool is currently the easiest thing for me to do to get exercise, which is nice because I love swimming.)

Here is my look for the day, featuring e.l.f. products!

The main products used to get this look are all by e.l.f! I used their Gel Eye Liner (it comes with a tiny angle brush), which I plan to give a full review of soon. We just have too see how long it keeps. Their Essential Lip Stain in Berry Blush and their Essential Hypershine Lipgloss in Vixen which came with the free Mardi Gras set from my order. I also used their Studio Hi Definition power and their Make Up Setting Spray and that kept my foundation in place and my shine away all day!

It was a fun and easy look, and it was my first time using a gel liner. I had fallen for liquid liners in the marker like tubes so I just never tried one. Well, I needed $35 to get free shipping from e.l.f. so I figured why not get it. It went on smoothly and it stayed put all day. Full review soon.

Here is the review

This is e.l.f.'s Studio Daily Brush Cleaner. It's an antibacterial brush cleaner that you use everyday on your brushes to keep them clean, help them last longer and your skin healthy! As you should know your brushes and make up are prone to gathering bacterial from your skin and having it breed there. This can get unsanitary after a while. This cleaner not only kills that bacterial it also removes make up from the brushes so that you can switch colours if you need to. I just sprayed it on and whipped it on a tissue to get the make up out. It also smells really good. As soon as I took the cap off the lovely smell came out. If your brushes are really full of product it might be time for a good shampoo though!

At only $3 e.l.f.'s Studio Daily Brush Cleaner is a great way to extend the life of your brushes and help keep things a little more sanitary.

Radiant Orchid Inspired Look

I did a simple fun look to go out and get Chiplotle today with my fiance. It was supposedly free Chipotle, but the little advert that has been circling Facebook turned out to be a fake. So we paid for it, because you don't just pass up Chipotle.

I used an eye shadow that matches 2014's Pantone Colour of the Year pretty well. It is in my e.l.f. Beauty Black Book Night Edition eyeshadow pallet that I picked  up a little after Christmas. It looks a little washed out in the photos unfortunately. I am really loving the colour Radiant Orchid for this year, so I want to make sure to try and collect lots of things in this colour.

My unkempt dyejob is a little orchid coloured too.

Oh, and I randomly found a book just tossed in the snow on my way to the light rail. It's about Timbuku. It's a nice, brand new book so it seemed like a shame to just let it get ruined and wet so I brought it home.

The products I used are:

e.l.f. eyeshadow for the orchid and white colours and black liner

tarte lights, camera, lashes 4-in-1- mascara

false bottom lashes from ebay

keihl's bb cream (keihl's themselves are cruelty free, but they are owned by l'oreal, who is not.)

too faced primed and pourless skin smoothing face primer

sephora mineral founation (NOT CRUETY FREE, I am currently looking for a replacement!)

 I am really loving the colour Radiant Orchid for this year, so I want to make sure to try and collect lots of things in this colour. What are your thoughts on the radiant orchid pantone colour of the year? Do you have a colour that is special to your heart this year?
