100 Coats of Makeup

OK, so the summer makeup world is full of fun. Aside from the super serious KatVonD/Jeffree Star drama that's happening right now, beauty bloggers and vloggers are having a good time.

One thing that's trending right now is the ridiculous 100 coats of makeup. It started with 100 coats of nail polish, where the nail looked like some weird Dr Seuss creature at the end. That inspired others to do their own version of 100 coats of... So I've collected a few of those videos here.

Remember, this is all in fun and makeup wearers/ MUAs don't *really* do this. It's just to be silly! I think I'm personally going to skip this bandwagon.


UPDATE! 

Added Jenna Marbles' spoof of the "beauty trend" spoof:

Neutral eye. Metallic lip. Shiny highlighter.

June was a crazy month for me. It ended up slowing down my blog, which is unfortunate.

I have been keeping tabs on new beauty though. And there are so many wonderful things that have been recently released or are being released, I wanted to put them all here!

Neutral eye. Metallic lip. Shiny highlighter. THE look for the summer! Check out new makeup from Anastasia, Smashbox, and NYX. Most products are available at Ulta or Sephora.

Anastasia's Modern Renaissance palette

A powder eyeshadow palette with neutrals to die for. A few berry shades are thrown in there which will really amp up your summer eye looks. Always high pigment, Modern Renaissance is your one palette choice for a super versatile neutral eye. (Though I do still love Urban Decay's Naked palettes).


Anastasia Moonchild Glow Kit

Getting your glow on is shiny! Moonchild is a delightful highlighter palette with many shades for many moon moods. Shimmery and celestial, with 6 celestial shades like Star and Blue Moon. The only problem I see is having a favorite and burning through it.





Smashbox Photo Op Eyeshadow Singles

10 totally versatile shades to pull from for everyday or high impact looks. These singles are pigmented and lasting.

Just look at these swatches. Gush!





NYX Cosmic Metals Lip Cream

Metallic lips. Need I say more? NYX has 10 new metallic lip cream shades, and they are amaze! Personally, I don't think these beauties are getting the attention they deserve.

Anew Clean Affordable and Effective Cleansing Brush

Introducing Anew Clean!

The new Anew Clean line of cleansing products offers an affordable cleansing routine to make sure your skin is fresh and free of impurities every single day.

I've been using the cleansing brush every day for a few weeks now, and I can say that it really does make a huge difference. I used to wash my face with just my hands (I never did like using washcloths), and I love using the cleansing brush because its so much easier, and I really know it is cleaning my skin thoroughly. (5x better than hands alone!)



There are three cleanser options to use along with the cleansing brush: cream cleanser and mask, rich cleansing foam and gel cleanser. Choose a cleanser to match your skin type.


Additional cleanser options, such as the incredible micellar water, give even more options for specific cleansing needs.
