3 Ways To Achieve Any Makeup Look

These are the 3 things you are doing WRONG with your everyday makeup look and your smoky eye. Listen up ladies this is serious. Do you constantly find yourself looking at pictures saying you can copy that look and end up looking like a Kardashian on a night out, yeah imagine that. Maybe you end up looking like a drag queen, those are always fun makeup tutorials, you know besides your everyday look. Seriously, seriously... Without further ado.....




 3. GLITTER
Now some of you may be thinking, glitter is not everyday, others might say i use shimmer there's a difference, and the other ones may be bored and click off at this very moment..... 3....2....1. Either way glitter, shimmer, sparkles, we all use it one time or another why not use it right. Apply you glitter with a loose powder to give it a more natural look! Glitter makes an eye really stand out.



2.BLEND
Blending is s important I can not stress it enough, you, need, to, blend. Some looks may be intentionally not blended however everyday looks are pretty natural meaning you need to, let's say it together *Blend*. An elf lending brush is $1 at Target or Walmart, while a normal applier is doable too. If you only want the pro stuff MAC 224 blending brush is one of my favs! 




1.HIGHLIGHT
Not too say some people don't highlight most people do, whether it be inner or outer corner eye, or just below the brow, you highlight. Most common with white. However if you do not BLEND!!!!! or use too much then you will definitely get that drag look. 


Let's review too much highlight bad, blending good, and glitter good IF used correctly. I hope you enjoyed as always and that you share, comment, like whatever. QOTD: Your makeup pet peeve?

Latest Favorites & New Stuff

This month I have a bunch of new beauty and random favorites, in addition to that I have some new products I wanted to include. Also sorry for the messy posting schedule, school and all. I will resume posting regularly with NEW schedule! Enjoy!

The first is a magazine I have been loving!! Marie Claire, it i s amaze!!!!! Take vogue + some FOAM magazine a dash of seventeen and pinch of Elle.... Marie Claire.

I am so obsessed and since it's is back to fall it's back! Warn Vanilla Sugar, I use this show gel for bubble baths... that's just me.

Smells soooooo good on my trip to bath and body works it was officially fall and let's just say would take too long to share all I bought.


Thank you to Tanya Burr, she suggested this in one of her latest videos so I thought "what the heck!" and tried it. It is like photo shop it reflects light it is amazing warning though I would not suggest using it to conceal pimples... it may just make them more noticeable. 


The Estee Lauder palette in Cobblestone is so so so gorgeous! The colors make a gorgeous ombre feel and always remind of zoella! 


Upside down sorry... this is my new lip gloss from Elizabeth Arden and it is so freaking amazing!! It literally smells like vanilla, the best smell in the world. This is a sample size I received this from birchbox this month and will definitely. 


This is a sample size I recieved from Estee Lauder as a gift! This is so amazing. Imagine this you have a dry spot on you skin, you start to panic. "What if I go to school tomorrow and that guy in chem get's up and kisses me on the cheek and he's like ew your face is dry!" "Or what is I am running past people in a panic late for guidance and someone feels my face and is all "Gross.."" Worry no more you crazy psychopaths, welcome to my world. Night repair will fix it over night no more DIY crap.

Next my favorite color for clothes and nails etc right now.. Burgundy! Don't ask why, maybe it's fall, maybe its just a pretty color either way eeeeep (Candice Squeal as everyone calls it). Insta-Dry of course because I can not be bothered with waiting for anything, Lord knows I have tried.


Finally, and i really tried to not make this too long, my new face mask!!! I love love love love this!!! Green Apple peel sensitive. Organic, since that is in right now. It is like a gel and smooths on face and then you wash off, not peel (despite name) of face.And for all of you that hate apple smells, don't worry the little scent it has is not even apple it's just organic smelling. Received this lovely from birchbox, who by the way really out did themselves this month.

I really hope you liked this once again sorry for the delay of not posting, school and all. I will be posting regularly until I can figure out a good schedule. Until tomorrow darlings, Byyyyyyyyye

How to Wake Up Early

I start school tomorrow. Unfortunately, I am not a big morning person. Waking up early in a bad mood can really put a damper on the day. I have devised a quite genius, in my opinion, way to wake up whether you are a night owl or not.



3.Waking up early enough can benefit in a lot of ways. Imagine this. The sun begins to rise through your lacy draped windows, you continue flipping through your favorite magazine and eat a delicious breakfast! I usually treat myself to an egg, french toast, but mostly cinnamon toast and some wholesome milk. Now realizing a lot of you may not be breakfast people I have some easy drink recipes below that are sure to way you up!


This is my favorite morning drink! 
2 peaches
1/2 cup raspberries
1 cup coconut water (I skip this)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup ice
Blend enjoy!



This drink is awesome because it is pink and tastes pretty good too!
1 cup raspberries 
1 large frozen banana
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small handful basil (I skip this)
1 small handful kale (I skip this)
Blend and enjoy!
These drinks were bother from RawganicVegan, I usually subtract some and even add sugar. Of course you can add and substitute as you deem necessary.


2.Get excited for the day with a cute outfit! Some of us may not have this luxury, private schools.


1.Sometimes, it may seem silly but imagining you are somewhere else can really change your mood. Think. You are getting up early to head to work in NYC at your dream job and of course you awake in your posh apartment building. You can imagine the rest.

These are just 3 little things I do nowadays to get up early. I hope these helped somewhat and I hope you have lovely mornings to come, comment below what you do in the mornings. Enjoy!

Makeup Shock

Every Friday is MAKEUP SHOCK! I bet you didn't know you the average women eats 7 pounds of makeup in her lifetime. Yeah, that means you. Kinda shocking??  What is in your in your lipstick anyway?? Oils??



Everyone has been freaking out about this "recent" discovery of leads and medals and other possibly harmful products in lipsticks. This issue has been around for longer than this past month, this past year even. Therefore it's time to talk. Beauty Bite, no no not the Beauty Bite segment with Mr. Kate on the youtube show The Platform, something much crazier. Imagine you are making lipstick, you, you have all the money in the world to make this product. What is so special about your lipstick? No medals? That is great, but how about you can eat it. Now step out of this daydream and welcome to reality again your dream came true! Bite Beauty Lipstick found exclusively at Sephora is now an amaaaaazing new lipstick (or semi new) that you can eat! Yes I said that correctly eat. No more worries, Hakuna Matata, now you have an amaze lipstick that you never have to worry about medals!  This lipstick is super safe for your mouth, however now you are wondering how safe is it for my wallet? Well I wish I could say it was lower, unfortunately $24. A very high price, therefore if you want some familiar brands let's go through the best lipsticks, without harmful ingredients of course.

High End:

3.LANCOME.
Lancome rogue in love, my personal fav has only a few ingredients none of which being potentially harmful! This is also a little pricey around $27 however still amazing color on lips!

2.BENEFIT.
Benefit full finish lipstick is only $18, some of you might say only?? Don't fret scroll down to see some drug store brands.

1.MAC.
Mac pro longwear lip creme, has a gorgeous finish only $16. MAC is known for there lipsticks, you didn't think we would leave them out did you?

Drug Store:

3.REVLON.
Revlon super lustrous collection is so creamy, the look is similar to MAC.

2.MILANI
Milani HD advanced lip color is amaaaaaazing! It reminds me of NYX a lot in look and is faboulous!

1.COVERGIRL
Covergirl lip perfection lipstick, amazing for your lips and your wallet, found at drugstores.

I hope you enjoyed this important post, if you did not already know about the harmful ingredients you know do! Also I wanted to provide some lipsticks I use and love that won't kill you. Enjoy!

Whats in my Makeup Bag?

A new series here on Makeup Abattoir. This will show what is in my makeup bag, changes daily! Thanks so much! Enjoy!




Today I am using a Hawaiian makeup bag. Made in Hawaii. Cute and functional!




First I have my concealer, covergirl+olay, not my favorite at all however today is a hot day so I am using a sticky concealer.




Next, I have my Revlon gel shadows. This is in the palette canyon. I used the blue on the lower lash line and have it in my bag just in case.



Next, I have an Ecotools petite eye brush. This is in my makeup bag to replenish any gel shadow smears, eyeliner, or even touch up.




Next, I have waterproof eyeliner, hot summer days call for this. You never know when a water balloon is around the corner. This is by far the best, in my experience, and my favorite waterproof mascara.



Then we have Maybelline FIT Matte foundation, one of my favorite drugstore foundations especially exceptional on hot summer days, waterproof and great coverage!



Finally, Revlon Custom Eyes. I use this to set gel shadows and the black for my eyeliner. 



I realize today I was carrying drugstore makeup at it's finest. However, I hate to waste my precious high end makeup on a hot summer day. Days like this make me wonder if I am really going to miss summer. Kidding of course. Any who I hope you enjoyed and I will see you back here tomorrow. Byeeeeeee.
