Makeup tutorial using drugstore products

Hello, today I am sharing a tutorial for everyday wear, prom, work or whatever/ whenever you want to wear it. I used all drugstore products, with the exception of one brush. This look is simple enough for everyone to accomplish and neutral enough for everyone to wear. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and if you have any questions just leave a comment below! 

  

Products used

E.l.f Baked Eyeshadow singles: Enchanted, Pixie and Burnt Plum

Rimmel Scandal Eyes eyeliner in nude

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

E.l.f liquid eyeliner

E.l.f mineral mist and set 

E.l.f professional blending brush

Urban Decay Naked 3 brush 

Sonia Kashuk blending brush

E.l.f eyeliner brush

Ecotools eyeshadow brush 

 Before you start your makeup be sure to apply primer! I used Urban Decays primer potion but I forgot to add it in the photo. I also used a setting spray to increase pigmentation but that's optional. If you're wondering which eyeshadows are the right color, I have photos at the bottom of the post for each one. 

1. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply Pixie all over your eyelid. I sprayed my brush with mist to make the pink shade more pigmented. 
2. With an eyeshadow brush apply Burnt Plum on the outer part of your eyelid and blend it out with a blending brush. I use the wind shield method for blending.
3. Staring where you see the number three apply Enchanted with the tip of an eyeshadow brush. Go all the way around the tear duct and stop at the outer corner of the bottom lash line. Once I was past the tear duct I used an eyeliner brush for more precision. 
4. Apply a nude eyeliner to brighten your eyes. Then, darken the bottom lash line with Burnt Plum at the roots of your bottom lashes. Start at the outer corner and stop where the number four is. I used a light hand and faded out the color instead of picking up more product. For application I used the same eyeliner brush but I wiped it off before hand.
5. With a big blending brush use Enchanted to blend out the whole look. Do this until you don't have any harsh lines. Be sure not to apply too much. I just dipped my fluffy brush in the eyeshadow one time. 
6. Now you can apply your eyeliner and mascara. 
7. Voilà, you're done! I hope yours turned out even better!

Does Pam really dry wet nail polish? Find out!

Hello, today I am putting a very popular trick to the test. So many people have claimed Pam cooking spray will instantly dry wet nail polish. When I heard of his trick I prayed so hard for it to work. I don't know about you but I feel like my nails are ugly without a polished look. Though, most of the time I can't just sit around and wait for my nail polish to dry.  I have things to do and a toddler to take care of. Anyways, today I decided to take it upon myself and test it out. 

The directions say: Spray Pam on wet nails, wipe it off, they're completely dry!

 For those who are curious, I used a nail polish that doesn't have any fast drying claims. It's just your regular everyday formula.

---

 For my first try I painted one of my nails with one coat and the other with two coats. Then, I sprayed the Pam cooking spray all over my nails and waited 10 seconds to gently wipe it off. 

  As you can see in the photo above, the cooking spray didn't dry my nails at one bit. Both of my nails smeared everywhere when I went to wipe it off. I didn't use much pressure at all. So, unfortunately, this method does not work.

---

 This time I decided to let the Pam cooking spray dry on its own. I also did the same thing with my nails(one finger has two coats, the other one). 

After the Pam finally dried I put my finder over the polish to see if they dried as well. My ring finger has two coats of nail polish and I noticed it was still wet and smudged when I touched it. So nope it didn't work.

My pinky finger only had one coat and didn't smudge when I touched it! This is the only way I could get the Pam to actually dry my nails. At least there's some truth to this theory! 

---

Overall, I think this method isn't worth the trying. It's takes forever to dry and your hands get all greasy. Isn't the point of this trick to have fast drying nails without the hassle of waiting? I guess it works if you apply one coat of nail polish and wait for the Pam to dry on its own but honestly I would rather just pay for a fast drying nail polish. Try it out yourself and tell me what you think. 

Has this trick worked for you? Let me know in the comment section below!
