Hey Lovies! I wanted to do a quick, simple Halloween tutorial (MOSTLY Drugstore!) that can be easy to recreate. It’s cute and warm, which is always a plus. Also, I lost the clip of the mascara, but just put on a couple of coats on the top lashes. I didn’t use falsies because I figured Lions don’t really have wispies like that, ya know?!

Here’s the 2nd part to my “Sephora Favorites” Fall 2014 Reviews. Check out the “Give Me Some Lip” , if you haven’t seen it.
This has to be one of my favorite Sephora Favorites that has come out in the past couple of years. It is very diverse, gives you 3 types: liquid, gel and kohl liners, and even comes with 3 different colors! I have no complaints at all except for the packaging! It could be better and it does not fully protect the products. Also, the Marc Jacobs gel liner is very sensitive, so be sure not to use too much pressure when applying.
Set Includes: Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12 HR Wear in Black Lace Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Dark Brown (what I am wearing in the video) Kat Von D Deluxe Tattoo liner in Trooper (black) Nars Cosmetics Via Veneto Larger Than Life® Long Wear Eyeliner (black) Deluxe Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner in Blacquer Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Eye Pencil in Perversion and Rockstar

From sun-kissed skin to popsicle-stained lips, this collection of nine sought-after products packs all your warm-weather must-haves in one place. It includes all the essentials for your sunny days, including: makeup setting spray, bronzer, a coconut-cheek blush, and longwear lacquered mascara. The cornucopia of fun-in-the-sun products comes housed in a chic clutch that you can take from the bar to the beach.”
Overall Rating: 8.9/10 (check out my Summer Bronze look featuring some of these products)
I recently picked this collection up and had to share with you all. This is probably one of the best “Favorites” compilation that Sephora has come out with for an amazing summer look and the value is incredible for $45. Because it is meant for a low maintenance summer face, most of these products are extremely long-lasting and require little to no-touch up. This is a great way to try out some of the most talked about products of the season, without committing to some of their high price tags. Word of caution: the Summerstash from JCPenny’s Sephoras do not include the Josie Maran Cheek Glee and instead of the Marc Jacobs mascara, it will feature the Benefit’s “They’re Real”. That specific package retails for $42 instead of $45. Also, please check the packaging in store before purchase because people can easily swap out products.

Stila Cosmetics Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in Kitten:
This cream eyeshadow normally includes a finishing liquid in its full size packaging, but I applied this with my finger and it dries extremely quick. I suggest you place this and blend it out quickly, as it sets almost immediately and is long-lasting. Use a primer for a brighter look or longer wear for oily lids.
Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer in Venus:
I LOVE THIS! This gives us oily skin’d girls a dewy look without the oil and the sweaty mess! It is very subtle and gives a hint of luminosity. I would recommend using one part of this to two parts of your foundation. You can also use this as a cream highlighter at the top of your cheeks for a more concentrated highlight.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Stained Gloss in New Wave with Lip Brush:
A beautiful opaque stained lip gloss. As the shine wears off, it leaves a natural flush of pink on your lips. If you have more pigmented lips, it will not come up as neon as the swatch.This can also be layered on top of your other lip tars or other lippies. Also, you can use more of this product in comparison to the original lip tars. You can layer it on for your desired opacity. The OCC lip brush is included.
NARS Travel Size Laguna Bronzing Powder:
This is the ultimate holy grail for so many out there in the beauty world. This is a brown shade with very tiny specs of golden shimmer. It does not show up on the skin as glittery, so can still be used for contouring. Word of caution: girls darker than W6 in L’Oreal True Match might not see anything more than a subtle-medium contour (if that), even if you layer it.
Left: Josie Maran’s Pink Escape swatched to the far left and blended out next to it. Right: MUFE’s Aqua Eyes Liner in 12L
Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee in Pink Escape:
This is extremely natural looking and blends out beautifully on the skin. This can also be easily layered for a more prominent cheek color. If you are extremely oily, I would set this with a translucent powder or a similar colored blush.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 12L:
Holy cow, this eyeliner WILL not come off! You need to use a makeup remover that removes waterproof mascara really well. No matter how much you sweat or accidentally smudge your eyes, this will not move. The color is not as bright as I thought it would be from looking at the swatch on Sephora. It is a little deeper, but still has iridescence. If you would like to use it as a pop of color on your lower lash on, be quick with smoking it out because it sets very quickly.
Marc Jacob’s Mini Lash Lifter Waterproof Mascara (volumizing wand and gel formula)
Marc Jacobs Mini Lash Lifter Mascara in Blacquer:
This is my least favorite item of the pack. It is a very wet formula, albeit extremely waterproof. However, it tends to clump unless clean the brush and apply carefully. Too many strokes will produce clumped lashes that will stay like that due to the gel formula. It’s main feature is the shiny, wet finish but it does little to lengthen and nothing for separating.
Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Mermaid’s Dream: Not pictured
Don’t let the shimmer/glitter fool you- this is an extremely opaque and long lasting color. With one swipe, you will get an even coat and it will take a good nail polish remover to scrub off the tiny glitter particles.
Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray:
This definitely aides in keeping your makeup on and fresh-looking for about 4-7 hours. However, i am a bigger fan of the De-Slick formula, simply because I am oily, but this still works great.
Comes in a canvas makeup bag
The clutch is close to a canvas bag and I have found no use for it, but tossing it with my other makeup bags. However this can definitely work as a beach makeup bag because of its decor and details.
