Pour Yourself A Drink ;-

"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together." 
-Elizabeth Taylor

Thanks to Seventeen Magazine and Milani Cosmetics, I got the chance to try out some pretty awesome makeup. The lip colors were a little out of my comfort range, but I wore them with confidence. I believe that nothing makes a woman happier than wine, a kind man, and new makeup. Luckily I have all three! Not only did I receive new makeup, but Seventeen also sent me Australian Gold sunscreen. It was SPF 30 which is perfect for skin. I will give a brief description and feedback on each product below!



I wanted to go for a more elegant look in the maroon dress, so I chose to go with SeneGence LipSense Fire N ice gloss and Milani #11 Beach Sand Eyeshadow. The gloss from SeneGence is a long lasting lip stain and I definitely recommend it. It is one of my top 5 favorite lip items. The Milani Beach Sand eyeshadow is the perfect color. It is a sparkly gold and could be worn with absolutely anything. It would look great if you were to use it and transition it into a smokey eye.<------------> I wanted my pinks to pop in the picture on the right so of course I went with a nice dark pair of jeans and a sassy black top. I chose to wear Milani's  Fiery Coral Liquid Color on my lips along with their Delizioso Pink Baked Powder Blush, Black Eyeliner, Runway Lashes Mascara, and Beach Sand Eyeshadow. This was one of my most favorite looks. Milani's fiery coral lip color goes perfect with my hot pink wedges. I also adored the delizioso pink blush because it was a simple pink and it wasn't too harsh. It was easy to blend and I was able to lighten the color to match my look.


Above you can see all of the amazing goodies 
given to me by Seventeen and Milani.

Liquid Eye (liquid like eye liner pencil): This is such an awesome eyeliner. I love it. I'm really bad with liquid eyeliner, so this gives me the liquid effect but in a pencil! Not to mention it goes on super smooth.
Anti-Feathering Lip Liner: This is just a clear lip liner pencil that simply keeps your lip stick from bleeding over your lips. I've used this one numerous times and I think it's a must have. This is an item that doesn't used as much as it should.
Brow & Eye Highlighters: This is the light and dark pencil you see in the picture. The brown tint matches perfectly with my brows and if I press too hard and make them too dark, the lighter side makes it easy to lighten the color. It goes on smooth and is super easy to blend.
Brow Shaping (Liquid Gel): I love this stuff. I have some crazy eyebrows that like to do whatever they please. This makes it simple for me to tame the lions. The brush is like a mascara brush and you just sweep the clear gel across your eyebrows.
Red My Lips Lip Gloss: This is bright bright BRIGHT red. It's a normal lip gloss in a fierce color. If you do not like the glossy sticky lips, this is not for you. I loved the color, but I myself am not a gloss person!
Best Red Lip Stick: This is Milani's BRIGHT red lip stick. So for you ladies that don't like sticky gloss like stated above, Milani has you covered with this sexy color. It goes on smooth and it stays on long. It is the perfect shade for a night out on the town, a romantic dinner, or a holiday celebration.
Runway Lashes (Instant Volume Mascara): This mascara is a voluminous mascara and it suited to pump your lashes up. It'll go on a little clumpy but can easily be smoothed out. I mixed it with my other mascaras because I am a mascara addict.
Mango Tango Power Lip: This is a moisturizing gloss stain that IS NOT sticky and the color is popping. It will not dry your lips out and the color is perfect for summer. 
Beach Sand Eye Shadow: This eye shadow is one of my top choices. The color is perfect and it has a dash of glitter and what female doesn't love glitter? This shadow can be used for a clean natural look or a sexy night on the town look.
Fiery Coral Liquid Color: I died and went to heaven when I used this. I was so scared to apply it, but as soon as it hit my lips I fell in love. I applied this lip color in the picture on the top right. I recommend this liquid color to anyone who has a tan complexion. It will make you gorgeous!
Delizioso Pink Baked Blush: This is a bright pink blush. It gives you that cute rosy cheek look and if you put it on too strong, you can easily blend it with your regular powder. I made sure that my powder and this blush blended in great together. 


This Australian Gold Continuous Spray was the perfect gift for summer. I used it when I was trying to get my base tan and then passed it over to my boyfriend. He continues to use it every day when we head out to the pool. It goes on clear and dries quickly. So it is great for those mommas that have little ones running around. I've read that anything above SPF 50 does not truly work, so I like to stick with SPF 30. I think that is a perfect middle for my skin town since I don't usually burn and I tan fairly easy. I would recommend this to anyone who plans on hitting the beach or laying out by the pool this summer! It's a hot little goodie that everyone needs!
