My Beauty Essentials

So I wanted to try something new for today’s blog. I wanted to give vlogs a try again and run through my daily beauty routine. Unfortunately, the sound decided to disappear from my video footage rendering it all useless. Fun, right? Thank goodness it was shot during the tropical storm so it’s not like I had a lot to do regardless. So here is my second attempt. I’ve put together a list of all my daily beauty essentials to share with you. Since I don’t consider myself a “beauty queen” per say, feel free to chime in with recommendations and tips.

This is my daily face.
Approve? 😉

& these are the products I use to achieve it:

1. Estee Lauder’s Violet Underground eyeshadow palette
2. Revlon Color Stay Foundation
3. NYC Cover Stick
4. Bobbi Brown Loose Powder
5. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
6. NYC Big Bold Mascara
7. Bobbi Brown Blush (pink rose)
8. Bobbi Brown Lipstick (uber suede)
9. Bobbi Brown Lip Shimmer (uber suede)

I like to mix up high-end products with drugstore to create a flawless, natural face. I think it’s honestly what every girl should try to achieve, not only with makeup but also with wardrobe/accessories. A few key designer items mixed with affordable pieces. Your face should be no different! So do you have anything to add? What can you not do without in your makeup bag?

Estee Lauder Giveaway!

So I know I don’t post too much about beauty here on the blog, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a beauty addict! I absolutely live for high end (& low end) makeup products. From a very young age, I started my makeup collection and I haven’t looked back since. Unfortunately for me, it has one pitfall: I don’t know how to apply any of it correctly. For this reason, I often feel like I’ve used a bunch of product, but no one can tell I’m wearing makeup. That’s why I can never go wrong with lipstick – now that I can apply!

That’s why I am totally digging Estee Lauder’s new punchy Pure Color Collection for Fall 2012. Among my favorites were their Violet Underground eyeshadow palette, which is one of my beauty staples now, and the beautiful lipsticks featured above. What I love the most is that each shade contains silver and gold sparkle pearls which neutralize lips, making them look beautiful on all skin tones for a faceted, sequined shine that sparkles. And you know I love sparkles!

But I don’t want to be greedy and keep them all for myself, which is why I’m hosting a giveaway (!!!) featuring some pretty sweet swag from the collection! Up for grabs is a lipstick in Violet Crush, lipgloss in Rebellious Violet and a powder eyeshadow in Cyber Ruby. I chose these 3 because I think they would make such a fun, punk statement for the edgy girl in all of us!

All you have to do to enter is:
(1) Add @somelificent on Twitter
(2) Tweet out the following: “I just entered to win makeup from Estee Lauder thx to @somelificent! You can enter too: http://melificent.com/?p=8627″
(3) Comment to this post letting me know that you did steps 1 & 2, along with your twitter handle for verification

Easy right? The winner will be announced a week from today, 8/23.
Good luck lady loves!
