Inspiration: Shades of Pink

After seeing the new Paper Crown line (by Lauren Conrad of course) I couldn't stop staring at the makeup job on the model! I admit I might of not paid as much attention to the line and instead immediately thought of how I could recreate her look. Or at least be inspired by it, I'm not really a fan of the whole "recreate a celeb's look" with makeup. Just be yourself, and find inspiration to try something new. Break yourself out of your box every once in a while. So with that being said, here's the Paper Crown model:

Very feminine and a little sassy, so basically everything I like! Here are the products I used:

Links: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 

And here's what I look like with my version (don't mind my weird curls):

To do this look, you really need a about 3-4 eyeshadows of pink. The Pantone palette is my favorite thing ever when it comes to trying new looks because I don't have to open a million different eyeshadows to get it. Highly recommend it! I used the shades in the second to last column to the right. 

Just remember to start with the lightest shade and cover your whole lid, then work your way towards the darker shades and cover less and less of your lid as you go. Then blend it all with a brush or your finger and you've got the look! Also I have Egyptian Magic on my lips, not a gloss (find the link on our Index Page).

What do you think? Are you going to try some shades of pink for your next makeup look?

1. This blush by City Color was sent to me through IPSY (see their site HERE). I get a few samples in the mail every month, and this is one I have fast tracked to my daily favorite. I have the color "FRESH MELON" which is more pink in person, the photo on their site looks brownish. I absolutely love how it warms up my face! Plus it stays on for much longer than any other blush I've used. $3

2. Baby Lips (Maybelline) is great for you chapstick lovers out there that also want color. I'm addicted! CHERRY ME, $3

3. Maybelline Color Elixir is so silky smooth you will forget you have lipstick on. The color isn't as bright as they look either, so go for the bolder colors for medium-pigment results. Don't wear when it's windy though, not a good combo with hair! $7-8, I have them in multiple colors. 

4. e.l.f. products are cheap, very cheap, but not too bad quality wise, besides their concealer--don't even waste your time with that. Their eye shadows are perfect! Not only do you get all the shades in one easy compact, but they have their ideal location written on them too. It's nice to have a little hint on where each shade should go, but feel free to rebel every once in a while too. The copper looks great covering the lid! Mine is in BEAUTIFUL BROWN, $2

5. Egyptian Magic is seriously the only thing you need to fight fine lines, dryness, wrinkles, chapped lips, cuts/burns, etc. It's the best thing that I've ever used, and it only has six (all natural) ingredients. It seems a little pricy but you don't use very much at all so it will last a while. The link is for one 4oz. jar but I got that plus a travel sized one at Costco for $40. Check your locate store to see if it's there--and then immediately buy it! $38 (on Birchbox)

6. I love BB cream when I'm not feeling like foundation, and this one is a winner. It covers more than other one's I've used plus it smells really good. It doesn't last all day though, so if you are going day-to-night you might need to touch it up a bit. Mine is "FAIR TO LIGHT", $15 

7. I know we are talking faces here but OMG this kit is amazing! TRESemme's Keratin 7 day regime will change your hair life--no more frizz finally! Get this kit for $7 and give it a whirl, its fun and you have salon looking hair SERIOUSLY. Finally a product that actually does what it promises!

Here are just a few of my top favorite beauty essentials:

1. This is my favorite brand of blush by Benefit. And particularly in this shade (Bella Bamba). It's a soft bright pink with a hint of shimmer. It also smells yummy! $28

2. The Sephora brand lip last is one of my favorite go to lipsticks! I love shade #12 Royal Rasberry. It looks best with a clear shimmer gloss on top. $13

3. This bareMinerals face brush is amazing. The bristles last forever and don't fall out all over your face! (major plus) I use this one for my blush in particular even though it says it's an all over face brush. Just a personal preference. $22

4. I also love the Sephora brand primer. It's inexpensive and really helps your make-up go on smoother. $15

5. This is my favorite brand of BB Cream. I use it when I don't feel like putting on foundation and it's a quick fix solution. It also smells pretty good! $10-12

6. This is my absolute favorite mascara! I've been using it for years and it works the best on my eyelashes compared to other generic brands. This one is made by Loreal and I buy the Carbon Black color. It's the best! Price ranges between $10-12 depending on what drug store you buy from.

7. I think Essie is a good brand of reasonably priced nail polish. This shade, Mochachino, is one of my favorites and works all year round. $8-10

8. Best eyeliner out there! By far! Seriously lasts forever and does not rub off. Not on my eyes at least! I buy the Black Pearl shade (it's basically black) $5-8
