Singles Cruise Challenge | I am late to the band wagon

On By Manda JanetteIn makeupLeave a comment

I was browsing the old YouTube and found singles cruise videos. I decided, “hey, you have three drawers of single shadows. Get started on that!”

I took my inner selfs advice and picked one of my drawers and had my little brother pick 5 random numbers between 1 and 31.

He picked; 17, 6,11, 26, and 13.

The numbers he picked ended up making a super cohesive look, with fall vibes.

The first shade is Serious from Urban Decay. It’s a deep gray with some glitter, that looks purple to me. By the way, I got this for $6 at TJMaxx. Look around, don’t spend the $20.

The nest shade is strange and off putting from Notoriously Morbid. This is a made brown that pulls very orange. I would almost just call it terra-cotta. It’s a perfect fall pigment.

I have another really warm brown to work with. NYX Whipped Mocha. I believe my little sister got this in an advent calendar last year, and gave it to me. The formula of this shadow is actually super nice and makes me want to try more from NYX. I actually haven’t used many of their products!

The next shade is the Naked Cosmetics Pigment in Sierra Nevada. This is a pigment I reach for often for my inner corner or to add some glitter all over the lid. I really enjoy the Naked Cosmetics pigments and I am glad that I have gotten some from Ipsy in the past.

The last shade is a beautiful metallic copper from Medusa’s Makeup called Brown Sugar. This pigment is so pretty, and I don’t give it the use it deserves.

The Look

  • I started by priming my kid and setting it as usual.
  • With a fluffy crease brush I buffed Whipped Mocha in my crease and up almost to my brow bone.
  • Take a bit of a fluffy shader I packed Strange and off putting on the our part of my lid.
  • Using the same brush I packed Brown Sugar on the rest of my lid.
  • With a smaller crease brush a used Serious to deepen up my crease.

  • I popped Sierra Nevada on my inner corner.
  • I took an angled liner brush and placed Serious on my lower lash line.
  • I did the exact same step, using the same brush, with Whipped Mocha.
  • With a small fluffy brush I buffed everything out with Strange and Off Putting.

That is the look! I am happy with how it turned out and thought this was a ton of fun. I will definitely be doing more posts like this!

How do you get use of your single shadows? Do you have a single shadow you are in love with?

I got this bronzer in my last Vegan Cuts Box, and if you happened to read it , here,   you would know that I did not believe I would get much use out of it.

This bronzer is $12 and can be bought at this link.

The Pesto

Look at that packaging!It is really pretty and unique. I love the Aztec design done in gold on the purple. The bronzer comes in a large pan, 10g net weight.

There is a neat design on the bronzer itself, I think it adds a nice touch. There isn’t really a smell,which is nice, and it isn’t the softest bronzer ever. I attribute that to the shimmer in it. No, the shimmer is not obnoxious.

The product is CF and Vegan ❤

Availability

Okay, so this product is not very readily available. The only place I have ever seen them is their website. I know there are a lot of people who prefer to be able to try a product, or at least swatch it, before they buy it. So, the availability is a bit of an issue to me.

Ingredients

“TALC, MICA, MINERAL OIL, MAGNESIUM STEARATE, CALCIUM, STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, KAOLIN, POLYISOBUTENE,
ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, PETROLATUM SORBITAN, SESQUIOLEATE, METHYLPARABEN PROPYLPARABEN,
BHT, PIGMENT.May Contain: MICA, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, IRON OXIDES, D&C RED NO.6, D&C RED NO.7, D&C RED NO.21,D&C RED NO.27, FD&C BLUE NO.1, FD&C YELLOW NO.5 ”

Application:

I like to use a fluffy brush to apply this product. My favorite lately has been the Eco Tools brush in the picture. I could not find the collection it got it with online, but I got it at Wal-Mart.

It goes on and blends nicely. It does not appear too orange or shimmery, even on my fair skin tone.

I tried to do a swatch using the brush along with the concentrated swatch, but nothing would show up.  Which goes to show, that it is not as pigmented as the swatch makes it appear to be. I do like the nice summer glow the bronzer gives me.

Wear

I was surprised that the wear time of this product was so long. The longest I have worn it was 9 hours, and it did not look too shabby after 9 hours or working. It also did not appear to oxidize on my skin, which is fantastic.

Over all

I love this brand. It is CF, has a ton of Vegan products,  and they are very informative when it comes to their ingredients. For only $12 I would say that this is a fantastic bronzer to give a try!

Have you tried any products from Medusa’s Makeup?
