Get Ready With Me Video: Purple Winged Eye Liner

Here is my Face Of The Day on Friday, June 14, 2013. El Hubby Cakes and I went to a kid's birthday party. We hung out with our friends and ate so much delicious food. It was the perfect day! The look I did was a purple winged eye liner with purple pink lips. I used some of the products from my June Ipsy bag to test them out and do a review for you. I also filmed myself while I did my makeup and post it on my Youtube channel as a Get Ready With Me video. I've always liked watching these kinds of videos on Youtube, so I decided to make one too.  

Sorry for the poor quality photos. I didn't have enough time to take photos.

June 2013 IPSY bag...AMAZING Full size products for $10!

Have you seen this month's Ipsy bag? It's amazing! My jaw dropped when I opened the bag and couldn't believe what I saw. It has 4 full size products! It's way worth more than the $10 I paid for. They just keep making me happy! I actually had the opportunity to meet the brand manager for Ipsy at the Generation Beauty. She's pretty much responsible for coordinating with different beauty brands. I was able to thank her personally for listening to their customers and giving us what we want, which is more makeup and more full size samples ^_^. Thank you!!!

If you guys are new to my blog, click HERE to learn more about IPSY.

"ON THE WILD SIDE" is the theme for this month's
Ipsy bag.




How it looks when you take it out of the bag. Loving the cheetah print with neon green zipper! It screams Summer!



Here are the products...

JCAT Beauty Sparking Cream Palette $4.49 This reminds me of NYX cream glitter palettes. They are a bit tricky to work with. The trick is to press it lightly to adhere on the skin. 

NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in 09 Paradise $7.00. I only have 2 NYX blushes in my collection so I was so happy to see this. I love NYX. They have amazing and affordable makeup!

Cailyn Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner in Purple $21.00 I was surprised to see this in the bag. I've seen Cailyn cosmetics stores in Koreatown L.A. They look high end and very expensive. and I've always wondered what they are all about. I'm so excited to try it out.

Starlooks lip liner in Tickle Me Pink $12.00. Swatched it already and the color looks great on my medium/tan skin tone. The texture is creamy and I can't wait to wear it and do a formal review. I've seen Starlooks featured on my Youtube friends' channels LearnwithMinette and Mommytipsbycole and I'm so excited to come across it.

Psssst! Instant Dry Shampoo $5.99  I've been seeing this brand at drugstores and never had the urged to try it. I'm so happy it's included in the bag!

Face Of The Day: Neutrals Again?

It's been a while since I've done a Face Of They Day. I miss it. I haven't been really wearing a full face makeup and when I do it's always the same neutral or "natural" makeup. So here is the makeup look I did last night when I went to a co-worker's bridal shower. And guess what? I did neutral eye makeup...Again! I can't seem to stay away from it. It's the easiest thing to do especially when I don't have much time. But hey, I paired it with a bright orangey coral lips to add more interest lol. Hope you like it!

Scroll down for product list...

I used City Color cosmetics Special Effect Bright Eye Colors in Dark Room for the eye shadows. It's a great neutral palette. It's mostly shimmers with some mattes. You can do so much with it. See my full review and swatches HERE.
I mixed the 2 lighter colors in the palette on the lids and brow bone
and brown and plum color on the crease.







Wearing Illamasqua lip liner in Thrash. I got it from a previous Glossybox. It's a bold and rich burnt orange color with a matte finish. It's so gorgeous, I decided to wear it on it's own

Generation Beauty SWAG BAG!!! *PIC HEAVY*

I want to start this post my saying thank you to everyone at Ipsy, FAWN, Michelle Phan, all the volunteers and sponsors at Generation Beauty. On my recent post HERE, I talked about my amazing experience at this event where I met great people, networked with beauty brands and received some awesome goodies. It was truly a memorable experience and I can't wait to go again next year!

All these goodies are combination of Day 1 & 2. Everything were given to us for FREE!!!

Each participant received this super cute bag with a GB logo on it. It had the schedule, welcome note and happy hour tickets in exchange for the goodies.

Generation Beauty sponsors. Thank you!

Bare Minerals Moxie Marvelous lipstick and lipgloss and eye shadow duo. I'm so excited about these new goodies. At the BM booth, I was able to try on their Moxie lip gloss. It had some kind of minty feel to it and it wasn't too sticky. I really liked it. I was given the lipsticks by taking a photo of myself wearing their Moxie lipgloss and post it on Instagram with #genbeauty. How awesome was that?

Proavtiv Refining Mash and Green Tea Moisturizer. I tried the moisturizer yesterday and I love it! So light and non greasy. 

Sheer Cover Eye Palette in Nude Eyes. It was given the same time as the Refining Mask. I didn't even know this line had their own makeup. The colors are so pretty. I can't wait to try them. 

Big Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray and Powder Play. I'm a  big fan of Sexy Hair now! After seeing the hair stylist at the event, I'm more inspired to really put some more love to my hair lol.

NYX cosmetics really blew us away when they gave us these eye shadow palettes. All I've Ever Wanted Box and Nude on Nude. Aren't they gorgeous? It comes with eye shadows, blushes and lip colors. I can't wait to play with them.

More goodies from NYX. These were given to us while we were standing in the NYX booth  during a workshop. 6 full size NYX products. Unbelievable!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius and Brow Gel. I've already tried both of these and they are awesome!

Benefit They're Real mascara and Benetint (full size and sample). The full size products were a prize from a mini giveaway. All we had to do was Tweet our favorite Benefit product and #BenefitBeauty #GenBeauty. Easy. I've never tried neither of these so I'm sooo excited!

Nicole by OPI nail polishes. I'm not a nail polish person, but I sure appreciate these gorgeous colors. Super hot yellow and gold glitters top coat. 

Our Smashbox cosmetics goodies we won from a simple treasure hunt. Full size Smash box makeup!!!

Temptu Base Smooth and Matte Primer and Undereye Concealer. This is my first time trying anything from Temptu and I'm so excited. Sorry for saying excited a gazillion times. I really am excited lol. I already tried the under eye concealer and I like it. I can surely use the matte primer in my freelance kit.

A full size blending brush from BH cosmetics. They also gave us a full size gel liner but I gave it to my aunt lol.

Pacifica Dream Youth Day and Night face cream and Color Quench Lip Tint. I just love the packaging and colors. The ladies at Pacifa were wonderful. They were so nice and sweet. 

TAT2U lip creme extreme and Tatoo pen (no pictured). It was my first time hearing about this brand. They specialize in body art products. 

Honest Tea was right outside of the tent giving away free tea if you follow them on Instagram. I got Pomegranate tea (not pictured) and a bracelet. So refreshing!

Soho and PIXI gave us a super cute makeup bag with 5 full size PIXI products inside. WOW! I was able to try some PIXI products at the event and I was so impressed!!!

SOHO foundation brush. I'm a sucker for makeup brushes so I was excited to receive one. I've never tried any of their brushes before.

And last but not least, they also gave us an Ipsy bag with random products inside. Mine was a Nailtini nail polish. 

Whew...that was a long post lol. Again, thank you to all the sponsors!!!
Hope you all liked the photos. Don't forget to sign up for Generation Beauty next year! Go HERE.

Generation Beauty Experience! *PIC HEAVY*

I had the most amazing experience at the Generation Beauty Event last weekend. I can't stop talking about it to my friends, family and El Hubby Cakes. I was nervous and anxious because I didn't know what to expect and I was supposed to meet with another beauty blogger, but she ended up not going so I was by myself O_o. But I met some girls while I was in line and one of my youtube subscriber recognized me so we all ended up hanging out with each other. They were so nice and sweet. I was so lucky to have met them.

What is Generation Beauty?
Generation Beauty is a 3 day beauty event created/organized by Ipsy and Michelle Phan for all the beauty gurus, bloggers or beauty lovers to come together and network with beauty brands, meet other beauty gurus, attend work shops, get freebies and simply have a girly wholesome fun! This is nothing like any beauty event I've ever been to.

It was from March 31st to June 2nd, 2013
March 31st Friday- Early Bird registration (Optional)
June 1st Saturday- Gen Beauty Day 1. Registration. We were given a pink bag with a schedule booklet and happy hour tickets.
June 2nd Sunday- Gen Beauty Day 2

Let me just share my thoughts on the main things we did at the event...

Networking
-I was able to meet and speak with some of the beauty brand directors. I gotta say, I was quite surprise how nice they were. I told them about my blog and beauty channel and I got their business cards. Hopefully I can collaborate with them in the future. I also met other known beauty gurus on Youtube and got a picture with them.

...with the creators and founders of New Girl Expo Ashley, Joan (not pictured) and Dany G. I will do a separate post on them.

Workshops and Meet n Greet
-All the workshops was designed for us beauty bloggers/vlogger's help our channels grow. I love all the workshops. They were very helpful. I went to Michelle Phan's workshop where she talked about video production tips, lighting, what camera to use and etc. Charis of CharismastarTV talked about how to stay positive and real in your videos. She is far by the best speaker of the event. She was full of life and energy and so uplifting. She is exactly how she is in her videos. I love her even more. Andrea of Andreaschoice talked about how to deal with haters. This is a serious issue in the Youtube community or internet in general. People will say mean things behind the computer without thinking twice. She gave some helpful tips on how to deal with them.

How Michelle Phan pretty much film her videos. Amazing isn't it? Before she used to film by herself, but now she has a camera to help her.

With Promise Phan and Judy Burrr of Itsjudytime. They are so nice and sweet. I hope they don't ever change. 

with Charis and Nicole Guerriero. I love Charis even more. She was such an amazing speaker. And look at Nicole! She's perfect. Legs for DAYS!!!

Makeovers
This was super fun. We were able to get our nails, brows, makeup and hair done. On Day 2, I got my makeup done 3x lol. Went to MakeUpForEver, BH Cosmetics and Pixi lol. All we had to do was sign up and wait for them to call our names. Also, Shoutout to all the hair stylist at SexyHair. They are so talented and amazing!

My mini makeover at the MakeUpForEver.

@MakeupMonster , Flo and I getting our hair done at the Sexy Hair booth! They did our hair super fast!

I got a brow makeover at Anastasia Beverly Hills. The makeup artist told me that my arch was off lol. She made my brows round and thick. Took some time to get used to, but I liked it.

Photobooth and Benefit cosmetics
Who doesn't like taking pictures? Definitely enjoyed ourselves at the Benefit cosmetics photo booth. There were fun and silly props and the photo printed in minutes. Also, Benefit printed out all the Insgatram photos with #genbeauty and picked them up at the end of the day. It was so much fun!!!

Giveaway and Freebies
This is my favorite part! All the sponsors were so kind and generous to give all kinds of samples and full size products. They were giving away makeup like water! No joke! We had tickets in our bag and During Happy Hour, all we had to do was go to each booth and give our tickets to redeem our samples. Some gave us samples size, some gave us full size!!! Also, they had giveaways going on through out the day where we won full size products. For example, in the beginning of the event, my new friends and I did a Scavenger hunt sponsored by Smashbox cosmetics. All we had to do was take a photo in front of a restaurant, The Grammy's museum, then post them on Instagram and Twitter with #smashboxcosmetics #genbeauty and we showed our work to Smashbox and they gave us a black mesh bag filled with full size Smashbox cosmetics. Just like that! So thankful for all the sponsors. I can't wait to try and review all the products we received.

Got a full size Bare Mineral lipstick for posting this photo of me wearing Bare Minerals lip gloss. 

Photos we took for the Smashbox treasure hunt giveaway...

All the FREE goodies we got and Flora lusting over happy hour tickets lol. She's too funny!

Food
There were food trucks right outside of the tent. I had a delicious Maine Lobster Roll from a seafood truck and it was delish!!! There were also restaurants nearby if people didn't want food trucks.

Overall Experience
Again, I had an amazing time. Words are not enough to express my gratitude to everyone at Ipsy, all the staff, volunteers, Michelle Phan and all the sponsors for making Generation Beauty happen. I definitely recommend going next year!!!

I will do a separate post on all the goodies I got!
