Sweet As Candy Eyemakeup tutorial

As promised I am bringing you the first installment in the Beauty on a budget series in collaboration with Coupon Chanel.

I purchased all of the following items with my own money at CVS some with and some without coupons:

Wet n Wild 381B Sweet As Candy Palette
 Coloricon pencil Wet N Wild 666 Brandy Wine
Coloricon pencil Wet N Wild 652 Dark Brown
Coloricon pencil Wet N Wild 651 Black Black
L'Oreal De-Crease eyeshadow base
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black waterproof mascara

Step 1. Apply eyeshadow base all over eye using a fingertip or a brush then apply the Brandy wine eye pencil to the eyelid and blend with a small eyeshadow brush. Using the same pencil line the lower lashline as well.

Step 2. Apply the pink eyelid color with the same small eyeshadow brush and blend then, sketch a few small lines with the Dark Brown eyepencil to the outer corner of the eye and crease, blend with the brown eyeshadow crease color. Add this same color to the lower lashline to deepen the color of the Brandy Wine pencil.

Step 3. Add a small amount of the shell browbone color just below the brows and to the inner corners of the eyelid to highlight. the, take a large fluffy blending brush to blend all 3 colors together.

Step 4. Using the Black Black pencil line the top of the eyelids trying to stay very close to the lashline.I went over it slightly with the liquid liner from wet n wild purchased at a different time. Curl Lashes and add 1 or 2 coats of mascara and your done.

 This is a very natural, wearable everyday look. For the price it's worth it. I love the decrease eyeshadow base. My eyeshadow stays put for at least 8 hours. The eyshadows are a bit shimmery and if used without the pencil will be sheer and super blendable. You will need the pencil to darken up the look. I carry this same mascara in my pro kit and love it. The pencils I could live without but ,for $.99 why not have a backup pencil to your favorite.

Garnier Nutritioniste Haul

 I have a friend who is really the coupon queen and I truly admire her hard work and determination to provide for her family through couponing. She has inspired me to be even more frugal than I thought I already was LOL! Everytime I go shopping I think "Oh Chanel would be so proud" When I make a really good buy.

 Today was one of those days. For the past 2 months everytime I pass the local Dollar Tree I stop in and check to see if they have received anymore Kiss lashes. I have been kicking myself in the butt for a couple of months now for not scooping up at least 20 sets of these false lashes when I found them there last time. Well, I was NOT about to make that same mistake twice. I found Garnier Nutrioniste skin care for $1. That is ridiculous!!! These babies run at least $14 at your local drugstore. So I bought the last 8 boxes that were on the shelf. I bought the Ultra Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Roller, Skin Renew Awakening face massager and Skin Renew anti sun damage daily eye cream. I think these may have been discontinued in stores but, you can still buy them online.

 Oh did I mention that the lady ringing me up said she had her little stock pile behind the register? Now you know where all the good stuff goes when they get in new stock. Ask your local store when they get their shipments in and stop by in the afternoon that day to make sure you get first pick!
