*Win* A Smashbox Instant Eyes: Liner & Shadow Palette

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying fall so far! I'm so excited for Halloween tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be in the mood to dress up. It's a lot of work! I created the above look to put me in that festive fall spirit, but not look like a clown -- literally.

I start off with (some really curly hair! find out in the video how I achieved that style!) Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, Fair to Light Tint. I love this moisturizer for two reasons 1. Aveeno is an amazing brand and perfect for sensitive skin like mine 2. the subtle tint gives me some extra coverage, perfect for a night out. After, I apply Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse Makeup with the warmth of my fingers. I love the light weight consistency and how soft my face feels after the foundation is applied. I set both products with Revlon PhotoReady Powder.

I then layer on some Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Original on my lid and underneath my eyes. Applying it underneath my eyes helps the concealer last longer. I use Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set underneath my eyes, along my nose to conceal redness, and around my mouth to even out my skin tone.

For my entire lids I use the Smashbox Instant Eyes: Liner & Shadow Palette *THAT YOU CAN WIN* by entering in the comments in the video above OR writing "enter me" in the comments below here on my blog. I go into pretty good detail within the video, so I won't make you hear that again - HOWEVER, there are THREE CREAM SHADOWS that slide out from the palette that I didn't use in the tutorial - so know that you would WIN FOUR SHADOWS and THREE CREAM SHADOWS.

Use a brown eyeliner to line my water line and use Maybelline The Falsies Volum'Express Mascara. On my cheeks I add NARS Powder Blush Cheek Color, Deep Throat, it's the absolute perfect shade for fall. For my lips I use Stila's Paint Your Pout Red - The Talking Palette. This palette comes with three shades, one conditioner, and a brush. I first apply the lip conditioner, then line my lips with the Cool Red, the deepest red, and then fill in. To make your lips more sharp use your concealer brush and add concealer around you lips. This will really make your mouth pout! To the center of my lips I add a touch of MAC's Bare Necessity - AND THAT'S IT! Simple enough, right?

OXY Clinical Review & Contest!

Hi All,

A few weeks ago I was tweeting back and forth with OXY Clinical. You know who I'm talking about! OXY has been one of the leaders in acne care and prevention for the last 30 years! They asked if I would like to review their Acne Solution's Pack and I agreed.

The pack contains three different products: The Advanced Face Wash, The Clearing Treatment, and The Hydrating Therapy. I used the products from the moment that I received in the mail and I have nothing but good things to say.

I used Advanced Face Wash in the morning and in the evening. I felt the wash was gentle, which that's very important because I have extremely sensitive skin. It also left my skin feeling very clean, definitely not tight and dry like some acne washes can do. If you check out OXY online (links below) they have some amazing facts about their products. For example the Advanced Face Wash leaves "25 times more acne medication on the skin after rinsing." So even after you rinse the wash is still working!

You can use The Clearing Treatment as needed to fight problem areas. Just apply a thin layer of the product to the infected area and watch the results! According to their website the Clearing Treatment "eliminates 99% of acne bacteria in 8 hours!" Reading information like that really makes me feel like what I'm doing is going to make a difference on my skin. Again, like the wash, the product was gentle and you can go a head and use it everyday as needed! It also doesn't leave any type of white residue on the skin.

The Hydrating Therapy was probably my favorite component of this three step system. This product replenishes acne prone skin and controls oils all without clogging your pores! My skin felt so revitalized after I used this.

This three step program made me feel like I was getting a facial every single day. Every time I use the products my skin feels clean, refreshed, hydrated, and looks fabulous! It even reduces the redness in my face as well as reducing the appearance of "tired eyes." And the best part about OXY is that you can buy their products at your local drugstore, no doctors appointment or prescription required. You can start using OXY Clinical Today!

And more fabulous news these three products could be yours to try for free! Check out my video talking about the review and enter into my OXY Clinical contest!

Michelle Phan's Into The Night Contest

So I entered...

I said I would and I actually did it.

Here are some pictures...the quality is crap, but the video link is below....

I read her rules and a lot of said about "no branding" this & that, so I didn't want to mention the products I used.

But as you can see Stila, MAC, TokiDoki, and NYX were on repeat haha.

I'm afraid to watch the other response videos, they're probably amazing -- and she's probably getting hundreds considering she can ONLY chose 30 winners. That's bananas!

If you don't already check her out you can find her here.

Okay you can find me here to watch the video and here.

Thanks guys!
