according to grace nono, what is gypsy music

I've spent a long fourth dimension thinking well-nigh how to get about writing a review for Younique. I take started multiple drafts but none of them seemed to really show what I wanted to say almost Younique in a way that didn't come across also stiff. And so, lets merely offset off with some background: I was asked by a presenter who I went to high school with to practice a review of Younique in exchange for free products. I agreed and some time went by before I decided to throw a Younique party for her so myself and my friends and family could try out products too.

If you don't know how most of these "self-starting" businesses where yous sell products for a committee from the company piece of work, well you basically can host parties for the person who is selling the product and then the host and person with the business concern gets commission and free or discounted products. Ordinarily the discounts to the host are based on the productivity of the party, then the more party-goers buy the more than gratuitous or discounted product you can choose from. By the time my party was closed I had earned plenty that I only had to pay for shipping on the products I wanted to effort.

I chose to requite each of what I like to call the "staple" products that Younique sells a get! I ordered their Mineral Bear upon Liquid Foundation, Mineral Touch Skin Perfecting Concealer, and was gifted the Moonstruck 3D Cobweb Lashes+ and Lucrative Moonstruck Minerals Lip Gloss. For this review I'm merely going to be talking most the foundation, concealer and mascara mostly because I haven't had the chance to test the waters with the lip gloss still. Lets become started:

Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+

I idea it would be best to showtime with this product because it was the one myself and a lot of people become well-nigh excited virtually. It's the one you see all over social media advertising the power of this product to multiply the length and fullness of your lashes by 400%!! How information technology claims to do that is past a 3 stride process: First you apply the "transplanting gel" aka mascara, followed by the lash fibers and finally another coat of transplanting gel, every bit they telephone call it.  You can too keep repeating the process until you've reached the desired level of lash you desire. Simple equally that!

It should be that simple if you lot tin somehow manage to avoid the tiny needle-like fibers from getting in your eyes (sometimes full clumps of the fibers!) or the product doing nigh cipher for the length of your eyelashes. I tried this product for a week and I literally ruined my makeup from my optics watering profusely every time I used this. I'g surprised a company can market itself as hypo-allergenic when this is how my eyes looked after using their "miraculous" fiber lashes. (This is only an example, not my actual eye.)

Information technology did help with the fullness that is if you enjoy your lashes looking like tiny hairy spiders.  I'm sorry I'm being so negative most this only I was so disappointed with such a hyped up product. I'g honestly glad I didn't have to pay the $38 USD for this. Yes, 38! I feel like the price merely justifies the hype, not the results. Skip this staple if you lot value your money and your middle wellness.

Mineral Touch  Liquid Foundation

This product promises a even application that volition smooth and mistiness imperfections in the skin. Information technology says information technology uses "optical diffusers" and "time release" pigments to improve the look of the skin and skin texture. Its supposed to be a lite weight foundation with a satin polish stop. It is said to provide long-lasting coverage. All of their foundations come in a long line of skin tones including attention to under-lying tones such as pink, blue, green and yellow. I love that about these foundations considering most foundation lines have a hard time discerning under-lying tones and by and large stay in the pinkish range. For my skin tone I think I chose the incorrect shade and should accept went for the Velour shade which is lite with yellow undertones. Merely I digress and will now focus on the quality of the product and less on my ability to color lucifer!

I find it kind of strange that you have to shake the foundation earlier each use for the minerals to mix just to each his own I suppose. Of the product itself I honey the dropper applicator because of your ability to control the amount of product usage. Thats very useful considering the fountain costs $42 USD that I would rather non waste material product on. The consistency of the production is so foreign when you first utilize it. To someone who has never tried a product like this it comes across every bit oily and greasy, that is until has time to set up into the skin. And so it turns into a powdery terminate that I admittedly love because information technology feels and then light weight!

The foundation is advertised as sheer to medium coverage merely you can honestly build it to a medium/full coverage and all the same go the lite weight, airy feel. I really enjoyed this product and volition attempt other shades in the future. I recommend this to someone who likes BB creams for light makeup days but has felt, like most of us have, that BB creams don't provide enough coverage. I experience like this may also be good for prom and conjugal makeup because of the light weight texture and power to build upwardly to the desired coverage. Is information technology my become-to for myself all the fourth dimension? No but I'll use it on my low maintenance days.

Mineral Affect Peel Perfecting Concealer

Formulated with high concentrated pigments and moisturizers to shine and improve the skin, boy does this concealer pack a dial! This is the best concealer I've ever owned. A lilliputian goes a long way with this little dude. It truly tin cover whatsoever imperfection! This concealer is besides multi-versitale. You can utilize it to muffle, correct & even highlight. I'thou considering fifty-fifty ordering some shades to contour with. It sells for $29 and I think its totally worth it. Especially for someone with problematic, scarred skin like myself you will truly enjoy your investment in this production. I know I take!

So after these conclusions how does Younique perform as a company?

Since trying out their staple products and learning more almost them equally a brand I come across room for comeback and growth in an already ambitious visitor. The actually good thing I've seen is the Younique Foundation which donates proceeds from their products to help fight sexual abuse. This is such a peachy cause to empower women and support victims of sexual violence. I dearest this! Other great things are their "Dear It" Guarantee. Don't love your production? You can ship it back and receive a refund. Great client service and appreciation.

I did see a few problems and concerns. Ordering is a multi-step hassle sometimes. Y'all're asked a long assortment of information to provide that seems like it can exist done in 1 continuous course instead of multiple. I had an issue where my address on my carte didn't match the accost I needed to send it to and my coin was withheld for 3 days and customer service was no help telling me my depository financial institution would have to handle information technology from at that place. Kind of frustrating!

Lastly and I'm not sure if something similar this already exists within the Younique Presenter training (or if there is any grooming) but I wish the presenters were given training on how to color match and find products that look nice on sure pare tones for their customers. I remember information technology would assistance them actually sell Younique's foundation lines and become non-makeup wearers into it more if they knew what products to suggest to them. Simply some food for idea!

I hope yous enjoyed my long winded review and you will try out some of these products for yourself. You lot can buy from my presenter past clicking this link!

*Screams ala Jaclyn Colina*

I'grand so excited to review this!! The debate was real whether to social club Naked Oestrus or this palette and I just couldn't resist getting this i. At that place are then many extraordinary colors in this palette, especially the rich turquoise and regal blue and purples. And those opal-ly iridescent pinks!! OMG, but gorgeous!! Non to mention the in-between tones and shades that are a perfect essential palette for makeup artists.

I swatched a few of my favorites and for the majority I'1000 over the moon about them. There were a few I was disappointed with but those were by and large the really dark matte colors, which are hard to get in pigmentation. This is a problem with most palettes I've come beyond. Information technology'due south only difficult to get a dark matte with extreme pigmentation similar I was expecting. This is disappointing because in Jaclyn's reveal video she talks about how much of a process her and Morphe went through to create a new pressing process to create these creamy almost wet- feeling shades. So, to say the lease I was expecting more pigmentation in i or 2 of the shades I swatched.

You may realize how I'thousand non naming the shades specifically; this is because THEY AREN'T NAMED ON THE PACKAGING! ANYWHERE!! Yes, they have names. As I've mentioned Jaclyn has a reveal video of her palette where she names each colour merely, there isn't a card or proper name plate under each colour to help identify them. This is upsetting because it makes information technology hard to explain what color yous're using when doing tutorials. When they have names its annoying to take to say something like "third color down on the correct" when you could easily simply say "Royalty" or what-have-you lot.

I cannot say enough good things about the creaminess, and pigmentation on the majority of these shades. I'grand blown away! Not but are they pigmented but they are the easiest shades to alloy I have always seen! This palette is one of my favorite's I've ever endemic. I would recommend this palette to anyone. It actually is the perfect palette for makeup artists and beginners alike. Jaclyn has indeed created the essential palette!

Here is the look I created:

If yous want to see more looks using this palette follow me on Instagram.

Final note: This palette is definitely worth the hype. The shadows are extremely flossy and blendable. The glitter and satin shades are extremely pigmented with minimal to zero fallout. The lighter matte shades are very very pigmented but when you go to the darker shades it takes more build upward to create the rich colour you see in the pot. You may need a stickier primer to get those shades to stick with any considerable pigmentation. This is my new found essential in my makeup kit!

They were only $seven!!

What's up ladies and gents? I'm here today to review some incredibly inexpensive makeup palettes for you. No, there were not from Sally's or Cosmo Prof. The palettes o plant were actually from a fiddling store adjacent to my schoolhouse called Grace Dazzler, ironically.

The first palette I want to talk virtually is the 24 Rose Golden Palette. This palette has a wide range of romantic rose colors and glittery golds, cranberries & mocha shades. I think these colors would exist perfect for conjugal makeup & prom looks. Let's talk pigmentation and color pay off.

At first swatch this palette was a footling disappointing. I'grand not going to lie to you the colour pay off was at times mediocre and some colors didn't fifty-fifty testify up on my peel tone. For my swatches I was only using my finger merely when I used a brush to do my sisters makeup using but shades from this palette I was pleasantly surprised by how well they performed! Check out her look:

Ane final word(s) on this palette, my sister complained it did stain a little. I don't know if this was my mistake since my brushes happened to be a footling damp from cleaning then before in the day or if the product does stain. Oil based remover concluded upwards taking the "staining" right off. Error on the side of caution when using this palette if you happen to find it locally.

I also used the profile palette to consummate my sisters impromtu prom inspired look. I have little to no bad things to say about this lovely precious stone! The shades are hella pigmented and creamy smoothen. The one highlighter shade you become with this one is very subtle and needs built upward to create bolder highlighting. I happen to like that virtually this palette. Everyone is in to bold highlight but some clients may non be familiar with highlighting and a assuming highlight may be to much so this gives yous the option to build it up to their specific taste.

Let'south talk almost the contour shades. Holy pigmentation! These colors come off rich and assuming for a wide range of skin tones. I love this palette! One piece of advice: find a good tool to blend these out with while your contouring because they tin can be slightly difficult.

Overall I'yard pretty pleased with my beauty supply palettes. Both together were $15 only I got them for closer to $12 with my student discount. Well worth the money in my opinion!

Xoxo,

Grace

It'due south finally October!! I've been really inspired to do a makeup await based on a oracle/fortune teller/gypsy character lately. Hither is my result!

Forgive me for not having whiteout contacts which would definitely consummate this look. This look took me about 2 hours, nearly of that time being spent deciding where I wanted to place things etc. If I did this again information technology would likely have me a little over an 60 minutes now that I know where I want things to exist.

Full list of products:

Maybelline Fit Me foundation

Lorac Pro Pallettes i & 2

Wet Northward' Wild Comfort Zone Palette

Fun World Sparkle Stack in Silver (you can easily buy this at Walmart in the Halloween section)

Real Colors Singled Out shadow in Eternal Reign

Eternal Colors in Nighttime Purple

ELF Eyebrow Palette

ELF Contour Palette

Lorac Pro Heart Primer

NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in Stone

NYX Face Corrector Palette

Maybelline Primary Muffle concealer

Urban Decay Heavy Metals eyeliner in Gunmetal

Black and White eyeliner

Black Mascara

For this expect outset past applying your eye makeup. Trust me when I say this. All of the dark colors y'all're applying will crusade a lot of fall-out and you lot'll desire to wipe all of that abroad before your foundation and contour are practical. Commencement use a primer. First with a smokey grey-lavander color; I used Real Colors Singled Out eyeshadow in Eternal Reign.

Adjacent you lot'll want to use a dark purple in the inner and outer corners of your eye and blend that into your crease. I used Deep Purple from the outset Lorac Pro palette. Next take the black from the same palette and blend that into your outer corner. Smoke that out…a lot.

On your hat you'll want to apply a duo-chrome light-green/blue color. I chose the definer color on the Moisture Due north' Wild Condolement Zone palette. For your loftier light color accept the same palette and use the brow bone color or utilise a duo-chrome highlighter that reflects silvers and whites. You'll likewise be using this as your highlight for the balance of your face. Earlier we go ahead of ourselves you'll want to apply a winged eyeliner first using the white eyeliner. I got mine from Sallys.

Over top of that eyeliner apply a silvery sparkle liner. I used Urban Disuse's Heavy Metal liner in Gunmetal. Finish your eyes with a black mascara. I used 3 different mascaras for maximum book.

Now y'all'll want to become about doing your foundation and contour like you normally would. Become heavy on the contour in you desire a very chiseled curtailed await or if you don't you lot can just lightly contour your face. Remember to highlight using the highlight you used on your forehead bone.

Now to add a little sparkle. Start by applying the rhinestones to your forehead. I created this really uncomplicated Five shape but looking back I would accept created something more than intricate such as an actress center, a crescent moon etc. Brand this your own and apply every bit many or in whatever pattern every bit yous wish! For the rhinestones I bought a Sparkle Stack from the Halloween section at Walmart. To adhere the pieces to your face you can employ the supplied adhesive or utilise eyelash glue.

Now let's add some silvery tears. Using the same sparkle stack and either your adhesive or eyelash glue make a running tear drop downward your cheek and for best results apply fine glitter first, then bigger glitters last. Side by side you'll want to add together some black veins coming from underneath your optics using a black eyeliner.

Finally, apply a dark blueish, grey or black lipstick to your lips. I used NYX Liquid Suede in Stone Fox. I also took the blue duo chrome shade from the Wet N' Wild palette and applied it on top of the lipstick to give it a ethereal wait. And don't forget those creepy whiteout contacts. Don't make my mistakes!!

And that'due south all!! I promise this wasn't besides hard to follow if y'all want to try this for yourself. If you enjoyed this get out a like, a comment, a tweet…something to allow me know. Stay tuned for more than Halloween inspiration later on this month! 🔮🌙

Here is to trying something new today; in two ways actually. I'thou taking you with me equally I try out a new production for the offset time, the Shea Wet African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask. This mask drew my attending for its claim that it helps to amend the expect of troubled skin. And recently I've been very acne prone! Upon opening the parcel the offset thing I noticed is that the mud smells exactly similar Play-Doh. Interesting but I was expecting information technology to smell more than mud-like for some reason. It'south says to start off with a fresh, clean face and so utilize a thin layer with fingertips while avoiding the eye area.

 Here'due south a before application for reference when nosotros are done.
The consistency of this mud is quite sparse and then information technology definitely doesn't brand information technology difficult to use a thin layer as suggested. I was able to encompass my face using very little product then the sample size (.5 fl ounces) I purchased at Walmart will definitely go me through 1-ii more uses. I ended upward putting a little extra product over my breakouts to hopefully clear or dry out them upwards.  Now it's suggested to await at most 10 minutes. As its drying it'due south offset to smell a footling more perfumey. The mask is very cold and a little stingy on my breakouts!

And now that I await like a chimney sweep, it's time to remove. I will say I believe the mask to be dry but it does have a very slimey feeling to it. It says to remove dab away with a damp cloth. Also it's worth mentioning that my confront now smells like my grandmothers perfume…

Now that that is off I will say it was extremely easy to remove. My peel feels softer than before merely this seems to be a trend for almost masks I used and so I cant chalk it up to this particular mask. I took both photos in the same lighting and I can see a tinge of departure in the effulgence of my skin but no noticeable change to breakouts. Overall this mask at first glance isn't anything special and a huge con has to be the fragrance. It's not appealing to me at all! Give this mask ago for yourself just I'm not entirely impressed.

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills "Moonchild" Palette – I don't accept a whole lot of experience with highlighters, much less duo chrome products in general. However, from what I've seen of the Moonchild palette, I recollect the variety of color and the raving of this product makes it worthy of a spot on my wish list. Just really it simply looks fucking gorgeous and I need it.
2. Anastasia Beverly Hills "Mod Renaissance" Palette– Fall is coming and when I saw this palette for the outset time in a review video past Xsparkage on Youtube my offset thought was "this is a perfect palette for autumn". Those ruddish reds are just my cup of tea, well, more than accurately my cup of pumpkin spice latte.
3. NYX Liquid Suede– All the colors. I demand all the colors! And they're so smooth to utilize its just heavenly.
4. Large Barrel Crimper Iron– I have naturally curly pilus just sometimes I want some bigger barrel curls that just this product could achieve.
5. A high end, total coverage foundation thats actually my skin tone– I may be asking for a lot on this one but I just really need a expert foundation. I'one thousand gear up to commit to something life-changing! (crying face) Any suggestions can be left in the comments. The struggle is existent!
6. Maybelline New York Eye Studio Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner, Black– Always on my list and will never come off is this product. It'southward my accented favorite eyeliner pen. I tin can't find mine as we speak and I'm literally having  an internal interruption down.
7. Those fancy spoon makeup brushes– I've seen then many tutorials using these and I so badly want to try them for myself! I specially want to experiment with contouring with them. (devilish confront)
8. Lorac Pro 3 Palette– I generally want this palette for its royal tones which are to die for just also considering I love Lorac palettes and accept the others, including the Mega palettes.
9. Stila Cosmetics Magnificent Metals Foil Stop Eyeshadows– I bought a gold shade when the first came out and loved information technology then I'd like to terminate the collection.
10. GlamGlow Silver Mask-What better way to refresh your face up after all this makeup then a mask. Well, why non ane that literally dries from white to argent?!

I was reading a weblog post that caught my attention on Facebook most a young adult female who had changed her look into multiple dissimilar "looks" (i.e. Goth, Hippie…) and went to OKCupid for feedback. The experiment was to run into how people would view her based on how she dressed. She got many unlike responses, some of them anticipated, some of them unexpected. Yous tin read the post for yourself hither. But what she realized from her experiment, got me to thinking…how do people perceive me and the way I wait?

I wouldn't put myself into whatsoever one category of person. I'thousand not exactly hippie, or goth or political party girl (chavette), or fifty-fifty vintage. I'm kind of a mixture of everything. I have items and ideas from all types of people and things to express myself in the way I dress. I just wonder, what do people recollect when they see me? What do they say when my mountains of frizzy curly hair are piled on top of my head? Or when I just got off work? Or when I'yard out with friends? Information technology's interesting to recollect that we as human beings can be so shallow and so judgmental (especially towards women!). And how gender roles are still held to high standards and if we decide to even dress against those standards information technology's still thought of every bit ok to be and then derogatory towards it. I mean, do people call me a slut for showing off my cleavage cause I have big breasts and the girls similar to be able to exhale? Or am I prudish and questioned on my sexuality (I'm bi, simply thank you!) when I pass up to vesture shorts in public in the summer?Or insecure considering I like putting on makeup and trying new things with my eyeliner?

All of this but makes me desire to become back and take my women's studies class again and learn more about feminism. What exercise yous remember of her experiment? How would you perceive these different looks? How would you view me? Sound off in the comments!

She faces freedom with little fright. I'thou so inspired by Stevie Nicks and bohemian styles lately. Flower crowns, bright colors, black dresses and shawls, moons, suns, mandalas, yous name it. I'thou obsessed! It's so hippie chic and and then youthful. It reminds me of summertime time. A time I badly want to arrive shortly. I want to dance, become to concerts, go swimming and take long walks at sunset. Then sit past warm fires at night and watch stars and eat due south'mores. It but sounds so wonderful! Check out my Pinterest board for more than inspiration!

Lately I've been drowning in a body of water of indecisiveness, love, fright and depression. I often dream of beingness submerged in cold water. And as I float under the surface, I don't panic because I'm not loosing air. I'k calm and at peace. I would stay there forever if I could. Only, I'one thousand non happy there. My hands are getting pruney and my eyes are burning from the salt. At the same time, the beauty and mystery of the ocean are pulling me deeper. Meanwhile, the waves are pushing me closer to shore even with my fierce resistance. I take things to say and exercise that living this mermaid lifestyle won't allow.  I have not grown gills to breath or a long flowing tail to swim nor exercise I have the ability. I'll eventually drown if I don't come up. Merely, it'due south and so calm and comfortable hither. No affair my resistance; I can feel it. I'chiliad coming upward for air.

– Grace 04/09/15

I'm not sure how long information technology'southward been since I posted…anything on hither! To be honest I didn't fifty-fifty intendance to wait. I think it's been a skillful couple of months. I'm non even certain who or why I'm writing anymore. I'one thousand sitting here as my new roommate? sleeps and I'm drinking some decent McDonalds java creation I've invented. If you frequent McDonalds heres the recipe: big cup of black java, 6 shots of cream, 3 sugars and 4 pumps of caramel chocolate syrup. Anyway, one thing I know is that I'yard not hither to give out my underground McDonalds recipes. I'grand here to update you and myself on what'southward happening with me. More specifically what I've learned nigh myself in the amount of time I've been absent.

The outset and (sorry to say this!) least important in terms of "growing upwards" would be that I absolutely want to continue this blog and I want information technology to grow as more than than only a "dazzler" web log. I as well want information technology to be my online and public thought, dream, inspiration etc, etc journal. I also want it to include many posts where I write letters about certain events or certain people. I've got many many ideas in the works. Simply stay with me and I'll attempt to keep upwards. I've missed it too much!

The second would have to exist that I Do NOT desire to be stuck working a fast food job for the balance of my life or even a quarter of it. Therefore I've decided that in the adjacent year I need to get dorsum on the wagon and exercise some soul searching and I recollect, some school searching. I'm definitely considering going to a beauty schoolhouse plan and condign a cosmetologist and esthetician. This prospect has been on my mind a lot lately. I too think I might take some classes in other areas at a community college. All the while continuing to work.

I've as well learned a great bargain nigh myself as a person. I've realized and friends have also brought it upwards, that I am a people pleaser. I requite my everything to make sure people are happy, fifty-fifty at the expense of my own happiness. I don't do enough (or oftentimes annihilation) to make myself happy. I'm realizing that I'm not HAPPY in a sense but just comfy and content. Zip in my life that I practice for myself is giving me happiness or joy. I'grand loosing motivation considering I'm realizing that happy is non what I am these days. I'm simply comfortable. I've been so decorated trying to brand people at my task, my family unit and my other friends happy for a LONG fourth dimension that I'one thousand not exactly happy. Information technology does make me experience good knowing that the people in my life are happy and healthy, but sometimes information technology's as well much. I'm left without that in render. I realize that its made me irritable and grumpy. Its made me gain perpetual bitch face up! I complain about everything even if its not that big of a deal.

Just, have no fear. I realize that information technology's fourth dimension for a alter. Time to do what I left school to practise and that is to find myself. Over again, wish me luck!

xoxo,

Grace
