Pumpkin Spice(Latte) Look

This one is for one of my favorite makeup brands.
LORAC
If you don't know much about them take some time after reading to check them out here.
Great products and great quality!
They currently have a contest on Instagram to create a pumpkin spice makeup look and here is mine!
Add some Lorac Behind The Scenes eyeshadow primer.
 Press on a slightly shimmery nude cream shadow.
(Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Moonlit Jewels)
Add an orange shadow all over the lid.
Now add a pale yellow shadow into your inner corner.
Using a brown eyeliner pencil, sweep into your crease to create a guide line for the shadows.
Moving to the lovely Lorac Pro Palette!!
Using a small fluffy pencil brush place the lighter mauve color on the inner corner, the medium brown on the center crease, and the deep chocolate brown on the outer corner.

 Gently sweep the dark brown shadow into the crease.
 Add a very saturated, bright orange to the outer corner of your  mobile lid.
Sweep the Garnet shadow along the lower lash line.
As well as right over top of the bright orange.
 Using a large fluffy brush and a Cream colored shadow, blend out your shadow towards your brow.
 Now add a pale shimmery bronze to your lower inner corner.
 Using NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk and a small detail brush start to add swirly designs.
To set the design go over with a shiny white shadow.
Lorac shadow in Shimmer
(This is one of the shadows from the Dazzling Dozen. Unfortunately I don't think you can get it anymore.)
 With a matte white shadow highlight right under your brow bone.
Press a black shadow into your upper lash line and connect it to your outer corner.
Add brown liner into your water line and mascara. LOTS OF MASCARA!
 Taking an even smaller detail brush add some sparkle to your design using the Lorac 3D Liquid Luster in Diamond.
AND YOU'RE DONE!

 Thank you so much for reading everyone! As usual feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think!
Hopefully everyone likes the look!
Happy Holidays!

Ipsy November 2013

 Woo! It's my favorite time of the month!
IPSY TIME!!!
 Lots of little goodies this time!
The bag is pretty snake skin like fabric with a hot pink zipper. Very cute, Septembers bag is still my favorite though.
Nailtini Nail Polish in Caviar Cocktail 
Faintly bluish silver. Pretty, but I don't use silver very often. But that is okay with me. I'm sure I will find a use for it this holiday season and if not I will wear it on my toes.
be a... Bombshell Lip Crayon in Shameless.
Purpley pink with sparkles. 
I like the color, not sure if I  like the glitter. This color would more than likely suit most skin tones. The formula isn't overly moisturizing, but it isn't drying.
Starlooks Gem Pencil in Amethyst 
 This pencil is AMAZING! The light sliver/purple color looks stunning! 
I cant wait to wear this to a holiday party!
Pixi Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched
I heard a lot about this having shimmer, and I have to tell you I have worn this every day since I got it and I don't see any shimmer at all. I really love the color. You will look bronzed or contoured without having a weird orange cast. 
This color will more than likely only work on fair to light skin tones though.
Kiss Ever EZ Lashes in 01
They look slightly dramatic without looking overly unnatural.
 I will definitely  use these for some tutorials.
 This month we got a special little extra from the New EM by Michelle Phan Collection.
I got the Water Liner in Bronze Kiss
Perfect color for my eyes, very long lasting, and it comes with a smudger and a nifty little sharpener for when you want to line really close to your lashes. 
I really am in love with this color but the price of the liner is $20 bucks.
So I might have to go with out once I run out. 

This months bag total come to a whopping 85 DOLLARS!! BARGAIN!
 
If you would like to join me in getting an Ipsy bag click  the link below!
I really love this bag and it's only $10!! So it is very much so worth it!
Thank you so much for reading guys!

Review.: Zoya "Jelly" Formula Nail Polish

Say hello to this little gem from my favorite nail polish brand!
From the looks of it Zoya only has three colors in this formula thus far. The color that I purchased was Katherinehttp://www.zoya.com/content/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-Katherine-ZP638.html. They describe it as a burgundy purple with a jelly like gloss. It can be worn alone. or you can put it over another nail polish color to create a new effect!
Lets get PAINTING!!
First coat
So I have to admit, I tried this the first night I got it and I was a little like "Um is this for real?!"
Bare with me. Plus this shows you that you can put this polish over another color without losing its integrity.
Second coat
Starting to get more opaque, definitely more glossy.
Third coat
Deep rich color and super high shine. Looks almost like gel nails but way less cost and you don't need to have a special light.
 Now with a top coat!

The only problem that I have with this polish is it takes FOREVER to dry. I let it set for about five minutes between each coat and then another ten before I put the top coat on. 
A few of my finger nails have slightly smudged at the tip and because I am OCD (Thanks Mom) I am going to have to repaint them in order to be presentable.
Looks like I'm just going to have to do nothing for about an hour... OH NO! 
This polish is very unique and I would love to try out the other colors!
If you get a chance to let me know what you think!
Thank you for reading!
