Favorite Makeup Products as of April 2016

If you've been following this blog for a while then chances are that you have seen me rave about products I love to use. But for some reason I have never done a post discussing my favorites and staples. Although I have a lot of favorite products, I narrowed it down to these.

I apologize for the bit of wash out in the pictures, we just got new lighting in my living room and I'm still experimenting with it, trying to figure out the perfect spot/position to take my review photos. 

Concealer - Nyx HD Concealer & Benefit Fakeup

I use the shade Porcelain as well as the color correcting shades Yellow and Green. These concealers are pigmented and really creamy. They blend well and have a really good range of colors. This is the one concealer I have uses that matches my skin tone. Whenever I use the Porcelain one over the yellow under my eyes it really seems to brighten them. 

This is Fakeup in the shade light. It is an under eye concealer, when it came out a few years ago there was a lot of hype but since I have hardly hears much about it. A little goes a long way; this is a concealer surrounded by a solid moisturizer in a metal tube to soothe the under eye area. It gas a slight yellow tone to cancel out dark circles and it covers really well. 

Face Primer - Smashbox Photofinish Primer

The cult classic! It fills pores like no other and creates a wonderfully smooth surface. 

Foundation - Urban Decay Naked Skin

In the shade .5. Although this doesn't have the fullest coverage ( it is buildable however), it makes my skin look amazing! It gives me such a glow like no other foundation I have used. I appreciate that the pump dispenses a little at a time so product isn't wasted. It lasts all day and is very light weight. 

Blush - Etude House Sweet Recipe All Over Color, Milani Rose blush and Nars blush

The Etude House All Over Color in Strawberry Chiffon Cake. It is a cream to powder product that can be used as an eye-shadow, lipstick or blush. I use it as a blush; although it looks daunting in the tin it actually can apply sheerly and product can be built up. This is my go to blush when I can't decide which one to wear. 

Milani rose blush in Tea Rose. This blush is almost too pretty to touch! It is a beautiful natural rose color. It is extremely pigmented though so it is easy to over apply. This is a matte blush and look at how much product you get! 

Nars Orgasm blush - yup the cult classic with the dirty name. It truly lives up to the hype. It lasts and glides on nicely. A little goes a long way. This color is flattering on every skin tone, this is the first I recommend to friends looking to start wearing blush.

Eyeliners - Rimmel Scandal Eyes Liquid Eyeliner Pens & Urban Decay 24/7 liner

I have had these liquid liner pens for an embarrassing amount of time and they haven't dried up! I love liquid liner pens but they tend to dry up quickly - not these! They apply very well and are waterproof; they last all day!

Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Onyx - I love using this liner outside my waterline. It is very black so I tend to smudge it with a qtip to make it less harsh and set with a black eye-shadow. 

Brow Filler - Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow

In the shade Taupe. My eyebrows are so hard to find a color for. Between my hair being an odd light shade of brown and having very fair skin brow fillers tend to look too dark on me. Not only is this shade perfect for me, but it lasts all day. You only need a tiny bit of product, once you learn to use it it is a wonderful product. 

Mascara - Lashes and Cosmetics Mascara Sampler & Bare Minerals Locked & Coated

I have been reaching for these mascaras and layering them so much. They really make a difference in my lashes; I especially love layering the thickening and volumizing ones. 

This is a clear waterproof topcoat for mascara. No matter what mascara I use, I have such issues with it running even if it is a waterproof one. When I apply this top coat, however it locks in my mascara and keeps it in place. 

Powder - Elf Mineral Booster

Though it looks like it applies with color in the jar, it applies sheerily. I love how this powder feels! It is very soft and lightweight. It blends very nicely without feeling or looking cakey. It is perfect for setting my foundation. 

Contour - Elf  Cool Bronzer

This is as matte bronzer palette. I use this for contouring and the white for highlighting. The colors aren't too orangey and really make for a great contour.

Eyeshadow Primer - Urban Decay Primer Potion 

I use the shade Eden or Original! It makes my eye-shadow stay like no other primer and creates a great smooth base. 

Highlighter - Benefit High Beam, Physician's Formula Shimmer Brick and Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation

High beam is a wonderful dewy luminizing highlighter. It is creamy, blends well and lasts all day. 

This Physicians Formula product can be used as blush, eye-shadow, highlighter and bronzer. I only use the top two rows for as highlighter, it gives my skin such a beautiful bright glow. It isn't pigmented enough to use as eye-shadow and I don't bother with the bronzer rows. 

I purchased this Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation in Virgin to use to lighten foundations that were too dark to match my skin. I found that this makes a wonderful matte highlight to use when contouring! This is an absolute staple in my collection. It is creamy and pigmented; it feels lovely on my skin. 

This is a wonderful alternative to those horrid grease paints if you need whiter skin for Halloween. It doesn't make your face a stark white or chalky looking. It actually will gradually pale your skin with each layer and looks very natural if blended well. 

Eyeshadow - Urban Decay Naked 3, Colour Pop Eyeshadows

Urban Decay's naked palettes are my go to eyeshsdows; Naked 3 is my favorite. 

I freaking LOVE these shadows! I only own two but I'm dying to own more! This one is Game Face; it is a beautiful rich metallic copper color. It makes my blue eyes really pop. The shadows feel like satin, so soft and blend like butter. It is easiest to tap onto the lid with your finger and then blend with a fluffy brush. 

Setting Spray - Urban Decay All Nighter, Elf Mist & Set

All Nighter is my go to setting spray for locking in my look to last all day. 

Mist & Set I just use to set my makeup and blend it together; not necessarily to make it last. I like to spray some onto a foundation brush and buff it in over freshly applied foundation. It gets rid of any application streaks and seamlessly  airbrushes it all together. 

Lipstick - Lime Crime Velvetines

These are !y all time favorite lipsticks! They go on like a gloss but dry very matte, but don't dry out my lips. They make a wide range of colors; I also find out of any lipstick these always outlast the competition. They last through food, water and even kissing. These babies really stick! Above are my three favorite shades - Red Velvet, Pink Velvet and Utopia.

Lipstick Primer - Colour Pop Lippie Stix Primer 

This is the best lip primer I have used - I love it even more than Too Faced's lip primer. Not only will it prep your lips and extend the wear of any lipstick, but it is moisturizing as well. 

Bonus:

 Eye Cream - Mary Kay Indulge Soothe Eye Gel 

I always apply this all over my eyes before makeup. It really helps to prep and moisturize the skin.

Prep Spray - Lush Eau Roma Water

I like to use a mist before makeup to prep my skin and help to moisturize it. This one is my favorite; it's so refreshing and does moisturize as it contains lavender asmd rose water. 

Moisturizer - Instanatural Hydra Gel Cream

This us my favorite moisturizer! It is like pure water melting into my skin, it moisturizer it so well without leaving residue. It makes my skin so soft, smooth and moisturized. 

Lip Balm - My own! 

I make my own lip balm! It is the best I have ever used and it doesn't have alcohol or any harmful ingredients that dry your lips out and force your lips to become addicted to it. 

False Eyelashes - EBay! 

These days I buy most of my eyelashes on eBay. Depending on which you get, they can be as good quality as the lashes at drugstores and beauty supply stores, but way cheaper! 

Sunscreen - Neutrogena

SPF is really important to use!! When my moisturizer or foundation doesn't have SPF I apply this under my moisturizer. It is lightweight sand non sticky. It dries clear, doesn't cvlog my pores or make my skin feel gross. 

There you go! What are your favorite products? Any on my list that you use or want to try? Comment and let me know!

Things I Have Learned While Cosplay Prop Building

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. So my birthday Saturday wasn't as bad as I anticipated, it was actually quite nice. I had a terrible week last week with a tidal wave of issues/disappointment hence why I didn't have hope for it.

My makeup was on point! I dressed up because why the hell not? I like looking my best on my birthday.

I spent the day with my boyfriend. We went downtown and he bought me froyo 💜.

Nick's creation

 We went to some of the shops including looking around the local bookstore. We then watched a Harry Potter movie and enjoyed each other's company. My mom got me a really nice (and delicious) cake and things to make cocktails.

I would count it as a good one, despite being low key. Despite not getting many physical gifts/things I wanted I was happy and it didn't matter. I had a nice day, I got to get out of the house and did something fun. The day was drama free and I have a wonderful boyfriend that adores me 💜. That's what I truly wanted this year.

Anyway, on with my point of post today. I built my very first cosplay prop, it is the axe bass for Marceline the vampire queen from Adventure Time. It took me about a month to build and man did I put a lot of work into it! I learned a lot though and I'm really proud of it!

First I'll discuss a little about how I made it. I made this prop from construction foam. I removed the coating from both sides of the foam. I drew rough square shapes for the pieces I needed to get the dimensions I needed; then drew the shapes freehand and cut them out. Next I sanded the foam down as much as I could to make it as smooth and nice as possible and I added the scratches and missing chunks.

I used Mod Podge to seal in the foam, this I learned to do from a few different blogs on prop making. It is really important to seal the foam! Not only doesn't seal it and make it stronger/less damage prone, but it also gives you a smoother and nicer base to paint on. I did 3 or 4 coats all over - make sure to coat every piece until you feel you have enough coverage. From there I used Gorilla Glue to attack the neck to the base of the bass.

Then I used acrylic paint to paint everything. For the small details I used metallic silver paint. The knobs on the bass are soda bottle caps I painted and glued on. After painting I attached and glued the small pieces on, including the strings.

At this point, use a clear acrylic spray paint all over the front and back to seal in and protect the paint. It also adds a nice finish. I always use Krylon's spray paint for my various projects. With this particular one I used a satin finish so that the finish wasn't matte but wasn't crazy glossy.

 The strings were a bitch to get glued on; I completely recommend using a stretchy string. I used alight silver colored sort of nylon string from the beading isle in the crafts section of Walmart. Bonus: If you attach the strings correctly, when plucked they will sound like an actual bass.

Being a bit of a perfectionist, this wasn't the easiest project and was accompanied by many frustrations. I spent about as month working on this and put so much time into it. I learned so many things in the process that I definitely need to remember the next time I build a prop; this knowledge I pass onto you lovely readers in hope that you learn from my mistakes.

What I learned:

• Don't pick foam with fiberglass - This was my biggest problem. My grandfather gave me the foam to work with so I didn't have to go buy it. It was the perfect thickness. When I started to remove the cardboard coating I realized that my hands stung. On closer inspection the cardboard coating had fiberglass embedded in it. It was a bit painful to remove and difficult to clean up. 

• Draw a template first - Don't freehand like I did! Draw a template on paper, tape it to the foam then cut the pieces out. If you freehand it you will end up with some lopsided pieces like I did

• Have extra pieces of foam - In case you make mistakes. I over sanded and miscut some pieces and didn't have a backup.

• Use Gorilla Glue - I cannot recommend this enough. This is a very starting glue that will bond very well, if you use Gorilla Glue you don't have to worry about your prop falling apart. 

• Don't get Gorilla Glue on you - It's really really hard to get off of your hands. 

• Don't use too much Gorilla Glue - Gorilla Glue expands as it dries, so only use a little bit. It is a bit hard and takes a while to sand down extra glue once it sets. Gorilla Glue dries quite hard. 

• Carve/sand foam outside - This stuff is really annoying to clean up. The dust gets everywhere! I found myself vacuuming like crazy. I didn't do it outside initially becasuse 1. It was really hot outside at the time and 2. My eyes are sensitive to sunlight and I was not comfortable working with a razor while wearing sunglasses.

• Have a few different types of sand paper - Some pieces will need more abrasiveness to sand down smoothly, others need it to be extra fine. 

• Be sure to seal in all foam - Seriously don't miss a single spot. It makes a huge difference.

• Add a top coat - It will seal in all of your hard work, protect it and just make it look better.

• Do all top coat before adding strings - I had missed as few spots and didn't notice until after I attached the strings. I used tape to cover the strings...but the tape became stuck. Long story short I stretched the strings out trying to remove the tape and had to go through a lot to get them to the correct tightness.

• Wait until all base painting is done before you add a top coat - If you don't you really end up wasting top coat.

• Be gentle while removing coating - When removing the initial coating from the foam, be careful. I just ripped mine off which left a bunch of dents in the surface of the foam. Some I couldn't totally sand out. Luckily Marceline's bass has s beat up look to it and I was able to paint on a scuffed effect to camoflage the dents. 

• Research! - Do lots and lots of research before starting. Figure out all of the supplies you will need and what methods to use.

• Have many reference photos - I used a plethora of reference pictures from the show, cosplayers and building tutorials. It helped so much. I cannot tell you enough to get the app cosplanner and pay for the premium upgrade. It is really worth it! Everything will be in one place.

• Buy paint rather than mix it - This I learned when painting the neck. It can be very difficult to match an exact shade if you mix it yourself. You're better off just buying all of the colors you'll need. You can get small bottles of acrylic paint for under $1 at Walmart. 

There are probably more things I could include, but there are what currently come to mind. Hope this helps! I am going to do my best to chronicle my journey through making cosplays and readying myself for this convention so stay tuned!

My Birthday Tea Party

Hello my lovelies!! Today I have a very special post for you all! It will be all about my birthday party from this weekend! I was originally supposed to have it on May 3, I had to postpone it until this past Saturday. I had spent about 2 months planning this one so it was a long time coming! I pretty much planned every detail that I could without going too crazy.

For my 22nd birthday, I wanted to do something fun and special. Something out of the ordinary. My more recent birthdays included going to the mall and shopping and I wasn't feeling anything of the sort this year. I wanted to do something very memorable. I have always wanted to have a classy tea party. So I threw myself a birthday tea party. My actual birthday this year was pretty bad, but my party totally made up for that! I invited all of my closest friends (though some couldn't make it) and had a fantastic day.

I made this sign! I meant to make something simple, but I hadn't painted in a long time and got carried away.

I had the party in my backyard, it was a beautiful day. It stayed cloudy for much of the day with (blindingly bright) sun peeking through. As I was setting up, I noticed that a tree in my driveway (I think it's called dogwood) looked like a white cherry blossom tree. There was a light breeze and the flower petals were falling like cherry blossoms. It was so beautiful! It was literally perfect for the day and I took it as much needed sign that it was going to be a lovely day (I was nervous because I still wasn't feeling well), which it totally was!

Tree on day of the party

Tree with intense sun

I set up a table for us to sit at as well as a food table. Oh yes, you have to have plenty of snacks for a tea party!

Excuse the mess in the background. No one bothered to clean it for me and I was unable to myself.

 I was aiming for a feminine and beautiful look, I tried to make it look like a British tea party with a twist. I also tried to stick with pastel colors. I went with pastel pink tablecloths, utensils and napkins. I wrapped the utensils and napkins in doilies and tied string around them. I sprinkled some fake red rose petals all over the tablecloth.

I got some beautiful black plates with a white design on them. I also used tons of doilies underneath everything. I took the remaining living flowers that I was given for my birthday (see my previous post) and put them in a blue vase as a centerpiece.

I also wrapped some pearls around the vase. I used actual tea cups and saucers as well as my tea pot. I didn't actually own enough tea cups beforehand, so I ordered a lot of 2 tea cups and saucers from eBay surprisingly cheap. I put all of the fixings needed for tea onto the table.

This was my place setting, with my special sugar skull tea cup.

 Eventually some snacks went on there too. I also tied ribbon around the chairs...which is seems I forgot to take pictures of :(. 

I brought my big ipod speakers outside with us (It's a huge tower dock) and played music the entire time. I spent two weeks curating the playlists for the party. I made four, including a classical music one, modern classical music (like more modern music mixed with classical. For example, some of the Sword Art Online soundtrack), music with words/more modern music that fit the theme (some Beatles, Adam Lambert, Avril Lavigne, Emilie Autumn and various other artists. I played this while everyone was arriving) and a "tea blend" which was a mix of all of the above. All of the music fit perfectly. Believe it or not, a lot of the instrumental stuff was from anime OSTs! The Black Butler, Madoka Magica and Rozen Maiden soundtracks were absolutely perfect and fit to a T. There were quite a few times where I had to pause in what we were doing to spazz a little over the perfection of a song playing. The music really added to the atmosphere and helped to set the tone. If anyone would like me to post the complete track listings to these playlists, let me know!

Outside selfie of me during the party. I have very long hippy-like hair and at this point, it was annoying me so I put it up. My makeup was running at this point because it was pretty warm and my hair adds a lot of extra heat.  I also made this strange-ass face HAHAHA! This picture makes me think of Chaquita Banana xD.

Beckman, Vicky and Destinee 

My three closest friends, Beckman, Destinee and Vicky (who reads this blog, hiii Vicky!!) attended my tea party. Destinee was running late due to a family illness so Beckman, Vicky and I had to start the party without her. We spent hours drinking, eating and chatting. It was pretty much everything a tea party should be. It was exactly what I wanted and hoped for!

The lovely Vicky <3, seriously my new favorite picture of her.

Beckman sipping some tea

Crumpled instructions, from after the party.

While we were waiting we played a game, tea leaf reading. It used to be common for people to tell your fortune with tea leaves rather than tarot cards. To do a tea leaf reading you need to have some tea leaves and tea in your cup. When you dump the cup over, getting rid of the remaining tea you are supposed to look for shapes in the tea leaves. Whatever the shape you get, you look it up and there you have your fortune! If you have never heard of this practice, watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is a lot of fun to try to read the fortunes. Vicky kept getting bird shapes a lot and I got the letter "H'" a few times. Go figure since my name is Heather.

When Destinee arrived we did some more tea leaf readings and a tea tasting game. My mom (who was helping out with serving) brewed 4 different teas, then poured a little bit into smaller cups for each of us to taste and try to guess the flavor. I guessed 3 out of 4 of them!

The lovely Destinee <3 

Poor Beckman kept getting assaulted by gnats and various other flying insects while we were sitting there. It was actually quite funny xD. It got to the point where if he saw a bug, he smacked it, which resulted in me getting randomly smacked a few times xD.

Luckily Vicky had bug spray (what would I do without you?? ;__; <3) so we didn't die from insect invasion. Sadly, I still ended up covered in bug bites and itchy as hell the next day.

Out of nowhere a bee flew at us. After everyone else had run across the yard to get away from it, it decided that my dress or hat had actual flowers on them. After getting too freaked out trying to sit still so that it wouldn't sting me, I ran across the yard away from it. The stupid bee chased me across the yard...and when I ran towards everyone else the bee chased all of us!  After a little more running from the vicious bee around the yard like crazy people, some of us ran inside to escape it and it was gone.

Despite that insanity, it was a true and fun tea party! I felt so classy sipping my tea at my fancy table with all of my little snacks. And of course the music totally made it! We had so much fun laughing and having different discussions that I nearly forgot about the games that I had planned! Of course there were discussions of Kakashi. I felt sort of bad about all of mine and Beckman's anime discussions because we were the only otakus of the group.

Awkwardly throughout the party my douchey yuppie neighbors were cleaning their yard, dumping their leaves into my yard. They've done it for years, they do the same thing with snow. If they have one leaf in their yard, they pull out their leaf blower for 20 minutes. Some of my friends weren't too happy about their rudeness (and possible illegal action of dumping shit into my yard). So when the party was over, we threw some leftover fruit and sandwiches into their yard. If anyone asks, we had a food fight!

I made a good variety of foods for the party. Everything I made was small, finger food.

 I made home made petit fours (omg they were amazing!):

Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry wafer cookies dipped in chocolate with some sprinkles

Cheesecake cream filled strawberries

Fruit kabobs

Beckman brought us a bunch of donuts

I also made crescent rolls filled with ham and cheddar cheese and mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. By the time I took this picture, they were half gone:

I went through quite the ordeal preparing all of the food but I'm so happy that it all was pulled off! When I postponed the party, I had to freeze almost everything. Most of the fruit didn't thaw right and last minute we had to throw some of it away. My health wasn't so great the day before the party, it was extremely nerve wracking for me trying to prepare things while feeling that way. I still didn't feel all that well the morning of my party, but by the time it started I was feeling alright!!

We kept the pots of black tea coming. I also made home made lemonade with frozen strawberries to drink.

A woman that my mom knows who makes cupcakes for birthday parties made me cupcakes! We brought these out towards the end of the party. The tea cups and saucers are made of fondant and each one has a hand painted design. The cake was vanilla, the frosting was strawberry and they had a Lindor truffle in the middle. The best birthday cupcakes ever!

Now onto the part that some of you have been waiting for, my outfit. When I first mentioned that I was planning a tea party for my birthday many people were curious of what I would wear. My friends described my outfit as "Victorian funeral director" or morgue owner. Destinee thought that I wouldn't look out of place at a funeral in my outfit. I was going for a gothic Victorian sort of look.

I wore a dress, I guess it would be considered a sundress though it is more of a formal dress and I have worn it to fancy events before. It had a black, white and beige flower design. Here is part of the dress, as I'm honestly not comfortable posting a picture of the entire thing on me. The dress has a matching shrug jacket (mini short sleeved jacket), which I eventually discarded because it got warm.
I wore my velvetey black wedge heels with my pastel purple lace socks (the color doesn't photograph well). It sure was fun walking/running around my yard with uneven terrain on these babies!

For my hair, I planned to do this whole style like Asuna's hair and curl it...but I was having some anxiety issues that morning and not feeling great so I said fuck it. I just threw in some volumizing powder to my hair and clipped in my mini sort of lolita hat.

The front of the hat.

The side of the hat.

It's really hard to see the details of the hat in photograph. But it is a mini black top hat, with some fishnet fabric, a sort of silk flower on top of that and a black feather in the back of it. It really brought my outfit together and everyone loved it! Even my mom, who normally thinks most of the stuff I wear is weird. 

For my jewelry I wore this beautiful purple stone cameo necklace. It was a bitch to get this in time, the first one I received arrived to me damaged.

For earrings I wore skeleton lady cameo earrings in my bottom ear piercing. In my 2nd ear piercing I wore these cute little pink stone with mini pearl and gold colored metal earrings. These stud earrings I have had forever and are a hand me down from my mom.

I wore fishnet skeleton gloves. I have had these forever but never get the chance to wear them! I also wore this beautiful rainbow topaz ring that I got myself as an early birthday present. Apparently it is worth a lot more than I paid for it! I was too lazy to paint my nails, so I stuck on (and of course cut really short because I can't handle long nails) some Impress manicure nails in a bright, neon pink shade.

For my makeup, I don't think it really looks all that Victorian. But I went with a bold red lip (Lime Crime Red Velvet Velveteen. It lasted through ALL of the tea and snacking). For the eyes, I used the Urban Decay Naked and Naked 3 palettes. I did some pink on the lid, brownish-copper on the crease blended out and dark brown on the outer corners. Then I put dark brown and pink under my waterline. I did winged black liner and black liner on my outer rim. I filled in my brows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow. I used Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation along with some other products to make my face look flawless. I used Nars Orgasm blush (yes, guys Orgasm is the name of a shade of blush. It is actually a very popular and famous blush shade), though I apply my blush lightly so it hardly ever shows in pictures.

Fancy dress was optional for this party. I dressed up because I was super into the spirit of it.

 Destinee dressed up as well, going for an Alice In Wonderland/ Mad Hatter look. The tutu she wore she made herself by hand. She was afraid of looking silly, but I loved the outfit and think she looks fantastic. Vicky and Beckman didn't dress up (which I didn't care, I was just happy that they came!)

But Beckman did look like a butler. In fact, Beckman insisted as acting the sort of butler by pouring the tea for all of us. He understands my love of Black Butler (and is a fan himself). Personally I think everyone looked fabulous and awesome <3.

Overall, it was such a fun and memorable day. When I look back on my 22nd birthday, I will remember this day and not my actual birthday. I partied hard and got to spend it with some of the people in my life that I love the most <3. Really, that's all I wanted for my birthday. I do have some truly amazing friends and I treasure them more than anything. My closest friends have been there for me though a lot. They are the few people that stuck with me during the times that I truly needed them while others were nowhere to be found. I really can't fully put into words what their friendship means to me. I'm so very happy that I was able to spend my day with them.

My cat shoved herself into this box after the party. I couldn't resist posting, she's so cute!!!!

I think for my 23rd I should have an alcoholic tea party hahaha! After all, everyone will be 21 by then!

Now that I'm not spending so much time planning this party I'm sort of at a loss xD. But, when my health is better I will be having an adventure for my birthday with Vicky and I'm so excited for that!

Thank you everyone for sticking with this really long post! Hope you had as much fun reading it as I had fun on saturday. I will in the near future (hopefully) be writing about how I plan parties with party planning tips!

Moon prism power, makeup!
