Neutral Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hi hi! 

I'm so sorry for the lack of post, I'm super busy with school and friends and everything! More about that in a chatty post maybe! Haha.

Alright, so today, I thought I'd show you guys how to create a neutral everyday eye look. It's very simple, not dark at all, so it's definitely a day time look. It's very soft and matte, except for a little pop of shimmer on the lower lash line! But, you'll see!


Here's a list of the products I use in this tutorial:
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
-E.L.F Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette (only $10 for 100 eyeshadows!)
-Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eye Liner in Black
-Wet n' Wild Coloricon Shimmer Eye Pencil in Copper
-L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
-Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara (Sample Size)

S T E P   O N E
Apply eyeshadow primer to your lids to make your shadow last throughout your busy day!


S T E P   T W O
Apply a light beige color to your entire eyelid to even out any veins or redness that might show on your lids.



S T E P   T H R E E
Run a soft brown color through your crease for more depth and dimension.

Sorry, the lighting washed out most of the color..


S T E P   F O U R
Focusing on the outer corner of the lids, add a deeper brown a softly blend it into the crease.



S T E P   F I V E
Apply a thin line of black liquid liner and wing it out, but not too much. Keep it simple.


Oops, bad lighting..but shh! Haha


S T E P   S I X
Add a shimmery bronze color to your lower lash line.



S T E P   S E V E N
Mascaraaa!! I really like layering my mascara to get the most out of my lashes. Right now, I'm more into volume than length, so the two mascaras I've been using together are the perfect combo! 

As you can see, I looove my L'Oréal mascara..the packaging has definitely seen better days, but it's the inside that counts ;)! Haha.

Aalllrighty, that's it! But, for the lips, I recommend a tinted lip balm like the L'Oréal Color Riche Balm, The Maybelline Baby Lips, or, like the one I used in the picture below, the Nivea tinted lip balm (in fruity shine).


T H E   F I N A L   L O O K



I hope you liked this tutorial and let me know if you have any tutorial requests. I really like doing these step-by-step ones because the process is very fun for me! :) 

I know I've been absent the past few weeks, and I can't promise anything, but I'll try my best to post more often!!

Thanks to everyone who reads, comments, and follows! Love you aaaaaallll ^^!

"A Little Bit Of Everything" Haul

Heeey, I'm baaack!!

I'm so sorry about the past few weeks..I wasn't posting as much "fun" stuff as usual because of some problems I had and had to deal with some things, but I'm allllll better now and ready to get back on track with my blog!

I've missed posting on here and so I felt like a nice collective haul would be perfect! Haha

I have 2 thrifted pieces, some [amaaazing] jeans that weren't thrifted, makeup, a new phone, and a nail polish! I obviously didn't buy all of this at once, but I decided to wait until I got more stuff to post one big haul! Anyways, I'll get started now!

**All prices are in CANADIAN DOLLARS**



T H R I F T E D

$2.99

I looove this shirt! I don't wear it buttoned up because my chest area is too big..i'm not saying I have big breasts, at all! just thant it's a size extra small and I'm usually a small! Hahaha!

$1.99

This shirt was brand new! It had the tag on it and the size sticker! I LOVE superheros if you didn't know that already, I'm kiiind of nerdy, so I was amazed when I saw this!!

A M E R I C A N    E A G L E

On sale for $29.99 (used to be $59.99!!)

I'm in looove with these!! They have that "wet" or leathery look to them, but in reality they're just shiny. They're amazing and hugs your legs and booty soo well!! Haha, that might have been tmi, but you know what I mean!


P H O N E

 

Yaaay!!!!! IPhone 4S!! Haha, I'm not gonna say how much I paid because I had to upgrade from my [crappy] blackberry, and that was kiiind of expensive, but I paid myself, so it's not like I'm suuuper spoiled and that my parents paid for it or anything! Buut I'm soooo happy I upgraded! Iphones are waaaay better than blackberries!! JS! I also got a shiny pink case, cuz..you know! It was pink and sparkly, and I can't resist pink and sparkly things! Gaaah!

M A K E U P / B E A U T Y / N A I L S


$8.89

I never really got into the "fill in your eyebrows" look, but lately I've been wanting to try it! I just bought this today so I'm not sure if I like it, but if I do I'll surely include it in my November favorites or maybe a review. 

 
$1.99

Again, I bought this for my brows, but I tried it and it's too dark, so I might just use it for eyeliner. And even if I don't like it for that purpose, it was only $1.99 so I don't really care.

 
$1.99

I LOOOOOOVE THIS!! I bought it because I always wear a bronzy color on my lower lashline, but I used to use eyeshadows, so I figured I would try this when I saw it. And it's great!! The texture is not the absolute best, but for $1.99, I'd say it's amazing!! And it's pretty pigmented!

I'm not sure how much I spent on this but it was not more than $9.00

I actually don't recommend this, it smudges throughout the day, so if you want a nice gel liner, I'd recommend splurging to get one with longer lasting powers!

Swatches of the eyeliners:
(From top to bottom) : Maybelline Gel Liner, Wet N' Wild Coloricon eyeliner in Copper, NYC Kohl eye and brow liner in Taupe

(Instagram photo..[my username is myrbear], you should follow me! ;) haha!)

$8.99

Alright, so I thought these were only sold in the United States, buuut, I found them at my local drugstore and I HAD to get it!! It was the only one left, so I got really lucky! They all smell sooo nice but my favorite is the vanilla one! Soooo good!

 
$9.99

This is a really nice blood red color if you apply 1 coat, but it's buildable to an oxblood type of color! GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW IT'S AMAZING!!!!


Aaaalright! I'm done now! Haha! Apart from the Maybelline eyeliner, I recommend everything included in this haul! Well, for the thrifted things, I recommend you go thrifting! Hahaha!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I promise I'll post more!!!

Thanks for reading/following/commenting! Keep the love coming! <33

Little Update

Hello everyone!!

First off, I want to apologize for not posting anything for almost a week!! I meant to post on Wednesday because I had a day off of school, but since I got my IPhone, I was (just a liiiitle bit) distracted..hehe!! I don't want to brag or anything, but it's sooo much better than the blackberry I had before..js!

Secondly, I've been busy with school and had some catching up to do because I switched my first period class and it was just a hot mess!! hahaha!

Also, I've been having some rather "down" days..with friends and money struggles and everything teenagers go through...you know!! hahaha

BUT!!..Because I've been down, my mom and sister took me thrift shopping and I plan on doing a haul soon because I found some pretty awesome stuff! I'm also planning to go shop tomorrow so I could include the things I plan on getting in that future haul!!

Aaand, to brighten up everyone's day, I figured I would share with you guys this cute picture of my dog, ella! yaaay!!!

Alright, I just wanted to clear things up and say that I haven't abandoned Myrberry!! haha!

Love you all! <3 thanks for everything!! ^^

October Favorites

Yaaay!! October is finally over!! 

November is my favorite month of all! So I'm very happy that October has come to an end. 

Anyways, this post is kind of long, so let's start! :)


*quick warning: 
I have a LOT of hair products to show this month, so these are mainly hair related things.

N U M B E R   O N E


CONAIR instant heat 1½" Curling Iron

I bought this almost a year ago and didn't use it that often, but for some reason, I've used this almost everyday this month! I don't use the clamp, I just wrap pieces of hair around it, because I like the results better. It gives you more wavy/natural looking curls that if you would use it with the clamp.  I would like to find a curling iron with a 2" barrel, but the ones I've seen are too expensive! But in the meantime, this one is amazing!! (and I think it's only CA$19.99!!)

N U M B E R   T W O


Göt 2b Guardian Angel Flat Iron Balm (heat protector)

I know a lot of people use and love the tresSemme heat protector, but I personally hate that one! It doesn't protect my hair in any way, and it lefts the tips looking and feeling like hay..which isn't pretty at all! This one however, actually wraps around my hair and you can actually feel it on the hair, but when you either straighten or curl the hair, the texture of the spray disappears. I've noticed that my hair doesn't break as much as if I either use the tresSemme one or no heat protector at all. I really do recommend this and it's only around CA$4.00! (I actually pay CA$3.94 at Wal-Mart, to be specific). I use this everytime I curl or straighten my hair and this is my 3rd bottle ever since I discovered it a year ago.

N U M B E R   T H R E E


L'Oréal Elnett Satin Hairspray (Extra Strong Hold version)

I reeeeally like everything about this hairspray, apart from its fragrance! It smells soooo bad!! But, if you spray some fragrance mist after the hairspray has dried, that problem is fixed! Also, I'm pretty sure this comes in an unscented version! But apart from that, it's an amazing drugstore hair product! It doesn't leave your hair sticky and stiff, your hair will stay put aaaalll day, and, as specified on the bottle, it "disappears at the stroke of a brush", which is actually a plus side for me because if you've sprayed all of your hair and you find a curl that doesn't look as good as the rest, you can just brush it out, and restart. You don't have to wash that strand of hair, dry it, and all that jazz! (something I've had to do more than once before finding this hairspray, but I'm sure this is an uncommon problem! haha) It is a bit expensive for drugstore hairspray, but where I live, it's always on sale, so that's not a problem for me, but if it rarely comes on sale where you live, I still recommend it!!

N U M B E R   F O U R 


Paul Mitchell Smoothing Super Skinny Serum

As you can tell from the picture, this bottle is empty! I'm sooo sad D: !! I've had this product for almost 4 years now! I used it every time I washed my hair and whenever my hair needed a bit more shine, and it lasted that long!! The reason being is that a little goes a looong way! If you put too much of this product, your hair will look greasy..so you really don't need a lot, not even a whole pump of it! The Super Skinny Serum is, however, expensive. I paid CA$21.95 4 years ago..I don't know if it's the same price, cheaper, or more expensive now, but whatever the price may be, it's TOTALLY worth it!!

N U M B E R   F I V E


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil

This oil is a miracle!! I use this on my face every night and I looove it! It smells..different, but you get used to it and it's not a gross smell either. I bought this because the skin around my nose was just horrible and would always get super red! Even makeup couldn't cover it up for a whole day!! I bought this because it was only CA$9.98 and because it said it helped with uneven skin tone and was formulated for dry skin (which I have). About two days after starting to use this, I could already see a difference in the redness of my skin!! Plus, I used to have those annoying little bumps under my eye area and they are now completely gone!! I put this all over my face and it makes my skin super soft. I recommend this to every single person in the world who suffers from dry skin!

N U M B E R   S I X 



Burberry Brit Sheer Eau De Toilette

Alright, this is kind of a funny story. Last spring, around my birthday, I was looking on the Sephora website for Burberry perfumes. I then found this Burberry Brit Sheer Gift Set that was only CA$10.00!!! I couldn't believe it and bought it in a snap of a finger! I then went back to look at it after I had purchased it and the price said CA$106.00! I was shocked, and went back to look at my receipt  but it had only charged me CA$10.00 for it!! So, I think Sephora made a mistake, but I'm not complaining!!! Haha! But anyways, I looove the smell of this! It's definitely a floral smell, but it has this musky undertone to it that makes it more ladylike and less girly girl! It's absolutely perfect!!

N U M B E R   S E V E N 

Sorry about the wrinkles!! I wore it yesterday..teehee
closeup of the sequins! ^^

H&M Sequined Peter Pan Collared Sweater

OMG!!! This is the most amazing shirt in the entire woooorld!! I've never had a shirt that I like this much!! You know when you were younger and watched cartoons, the charatchers always wore the same outfit! Well, if I was a cartoon, this would be that shirt! Hahah, I'm seriously in loveee!! If you have an H&M store near you, GO GET THIS SHIRT!! It's only CA$14.95!! I couldn't believe it!! I was ready to pay like, $40 for it! I swear! I didn't even look at the price until I got to the dressing room and the tag was peeking out! That was one of the happiest moment of my life! Hahaha! I will definitely make an OOTD soon, featuring this shirt! :)

N U M B E R   E I G H T 


Maybelline The Colossal Volum" Express Cat Eyes Mascara

I really like this mascara! It doesn't really create a cat eye effect on my lashes, because they're very weirdly shaped, but I love that it gives length and volume to my lashes. I don't use this alone, but it's great when you pair it with a volumizing mascara, such as Voluminous Million Lashes from L'Oréal or The Falsies by Maybelline. I'm pretty sure that it would give my lashes a cat eye effect if they were like normal lashes, but, you can never be perfect right?! Haha. My lashes are longest in the middle, and get smaller in the inner and outer corner, so this might be why this mascara doesn't work the way it is supposed to on my lashes!


N U M B E R   N I N E



I've been using this every morning and night on my lips and they are sooo smooth! If you missed my DIY lip scrub post, click on the link above! :) It's a cheaper alternative to the Lush lip scrubs! :)

N U M B E R   T E N


E.L.F Professional Blending Eye Brush

I've been loooving this brush this past month! It's great for blending shadows (duuh), but I also use it to apply my eyeshadows. I like that it "dispenses" just the right amount of product to the eyes! It's great!! And, it's only CA$1.00!!


As for my favorite nail polish of the month, with no surprise, it's still OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest! I'm just soooo in love with it, and I wore it 3/4 weeks this month (this past week, I painted my nails with Essie's Skirting The Issue [a blood red color that I might do a NOTD with soon] because it was Halloween and I wanted a change). 

Also, my favorite movie this month was Red Riding Hood! (The one with Amanda Seyfried). I watched it like, 4 times! Haha, I loove that movie even though the effects and the acting aren't the greatest! It's so cute and lovely and just awesome in general! If you haven't watched it yet, you should!!


And that's pretty much it! I haven't tried a whole lot of beauty products this month, but I recently bought a few and I'm planning on going to Sephora when I get my pay! Haha (I didn't find a job, I just replaced my sister's friend one night at my sister's job, so I made a few bucks! Haha)

As always, thanks for everything!!! I love you all :)

xox, myr <3
