Reminder and UPDATES!

Hey ya'll!

Just a reminder about the "Homecoming Competition''! Pictures are due 10/20 BEFORE MIDNIGHT! I want to see some gorgeous dresses, beautifully done makeup, and some awesome hair :)

In other news, my BUSINESS CARDS should be coming in the mail sometime today or tomorrow, AND I have "The Balm 'Nude 'tude eyeshadow palette" coming in the mail, as well! I only paid $22 dollars for it, including shipping, and it goes for $36 BEFORE shipping on "The Balm"'s website, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'll be sharing with you all how I got it for so cheap :)




Apparently this palette is BETTER than the naked2 urban decay palette... I'll be the judge of that. ;P



Lot's of exciting things happening in the world of uglymepretty!

Retail Therapy

Yesterday was a ROUGH DAY. We all have them. And sometimes, it feels like our lives are crumbling around us, when really, you just dropped half your oreo in your milk. (WHICH SUCKS.)

Well, anyway, yesterday wasn't going so well, so I decided to do a bit of retail therapy, and I picked up a few things to add to my makeup collection :)

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! :D I'll be doing swatches later, just wanted to give you guys a peek at what I picked up :)


Decided to pick up the Disney Villian quad :) Don't worry, I have close-ups! :D

Blue Eyed Beauty!

MY FIRST MAKEUP ARTIST ATTEMPT SINCE HS. IT'S BEEN YEARS!!!

I was fortunate enough to do a friend's makeup this evening, and WE HAD A BLAST. We decided to go for a somewhat natural look, so we used the Urban Decay Naked Pallette. We also used the black ELF eyeliner goop in the little jar, and gold eyeliner from my 2012 Sephora Blockbuster box. The mascara is Benefit They're Real. SHE LOVED THE MASCARA!!! It was a hit!

After downloading the photos, I'm realizing how much more of an  impact this would have been to do before shots. OH WELL! Looks like I learned my lesson :) There will be before shots from now on!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!! :)



 This blue eyed beaut' had these magnificent doll eyes that were MUCH differently shaped than mine, which you will see later! But I loved doing a mini cat-eye on her because of it! It definitely opened up her eyes and showed off her natural blue eyes!





 The gold liner was a last minute add. I figured I would add a little spunk to it, just like her!






That mascara was her favorite thing in the world. It just makes me feel better about my purchase.





Welp, let me know what you think! Would love some feedback! Want a tutorial???

GOODNIGHT DEAR UGLIES! LOVE AND MISS ALL OF YOU!

Hello dear uglies! 

So sorry for the late blog post- Some sad news, I was going to film and post a tutorial tonight, but it seems I have caught the bug that has going around. :(

However, I will still be showing you guys some fun stuff that I have done recently! On Thursday, me and one of my girlfriends Dania decided to go to Ulta for the recent sale, and I picked up some great stuff!

So, here's my Ulta Haul!

In this haul, I purchased:

  • Trina Travelling Make-up Case
  • 7.5 mL Benefit the PoreFessional 
  • 7.5mL Benefit "that gal" brightening face primer
  • 4.0 g/.14 oz Benefit they're real mascara
  • 2.03 fl. oz/60 mL NYX matte finish setting spray
  • Ulta slanted eyeshader and liner brush
  • Ulta eye liner brush
  • Ulta crease brush
  • The Ulta "autumn" face kit bag which included : Ulta Plush Drama VOLUME MASCARA in jet black, Ulta Sunkissed cheek blush/bronzer, Ulta neutral eyeshadow quad in BONE, ICE QUEEN, TRUFFLE, and GUNMETAL
  • Ulta lipcolor lipstick in #227 CAPPUCCINO
  • Ulta super shiny lipgloss in #07 FLIRTINI
ALL for under $85! :D

 
EXCITING, RIGHT?!!



 Here's the inside of the travelling case, I love the separate brush/liner pockets!


 I thought this would be a great deal, to be able to try out two different products for you guys for 12 bucks.



I can tell you already, I LOVE this mascara. 


New eye brushes, YAY!


The Ulta "Autumn" kit. Only 9.99! 




 In order, BONE, which is pretty much nude on my skin, TRUFFLE, ICEQUEEN, and then GUNMETAL.


 I love how sunkissed this sunkissed blush/bronzer looks on me. Can't wait to contour with it, a bit!



 After trying the smaller version of this, definitely going to invest in the larger size. LOVE IT! Looks like you're wearing falsies :)

In order, the cappucino lipstick, and then the flirtini lipgloss. I love how sheer this pink in the flirtini is.



Well, in the next update, I'll review more of these products and let you know how great, or not-so-great they may be....

Want to know a secret? I already used some of these products in my upcoming post for the "Ally/vintage" look! Are you excited, or are you excited?!

Alright, off to bed. I'll be dreaming of colorful pallets and my dream job at sephora.

Happy facepainting!
