Something Green 💚

I always get the most flawless yet, believeable finish with my TF Born This Way Mayte foundation. It’s medium-buildable coverage and still gives a really natural finish. I’m very pleased with it.

I had so much fun with this look because it was a colour combo I wouldn’t usually wear and I got a chance to try out my new Laura Mercier limited edition red Christmas lipstick since it was the perfect shade for Snow White! The Rouge Essentiel lipstick is incredible, it probably has the most beautiful texture of any lipstick I own and is SO nice to wear. 🍎 FACE 🍎 e.l.f. - Poreless Putty Primer URBAN DECAY - Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation Too Faced - Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer HOLIKA HOLIKA - Jelly Dough Blusher #Too Faced - Candlelight Glow Highlighter[products]# laura mercier - Set to Perfect Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Puff Set 🍎 EYES & BROWS 🍎 ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Pomade URBAN DECAY - Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion #BYS - Festival Eyeshadow Palette[products]# SUVA BEAUTY - Grease (Matte) Hydra Liner Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara MORPHE - MORPHE Lashes(Calabasas) 🍎 LIPS 🍎 MAC - MAC Lip Pencil (Cherry) laura mercier - Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick(Red Wish)

I received my boxy charm boxes yesterday and I am pretty impressed! I received both June and July boxes at the same time. BC had issues delivering my June box so I got both boxes at the same time. This is my first time trying this out and so far I am pretty impressed. I used the fill up orange palette on the eyes. However, I am not a huge fan of this palette. There wasn’t enough color pay off and the palette didn’t have enough shades to deepen the look so I mixed this palette with Colourpop’s California love palette to create this look. touch in SOL - Fill Up Orange & Pink Parade Eyeshadow Palette I received Hourglass scattered light glitter shadow in the shade “blade” and this is the star of the show of my eye look. I used it on the inner lids. I believe this is what made the look. HOURGLASS - Scattered Light Glitter Eye Shadow I used doucce’s graphic liner and it surprisingly impressed. I may like this more than the Stila liquid liner. The bristles are a little more firm so I had complete control of my wing liner. However, this liner isn’t as dark as stila’s. doucce - Fierce and Fine Graphic Liner I like this bronzer. The last 2 dark shades really bronze me up for the summer. My regular bronzer is currently too light for me so it’s nice to know this bronzer palette can be used all year round. ACE BEAUTE - Bronzed In Paradise My favorite in my June box is the artist couture coco bling diamond powder. Holy moly! This is definitely the brightest highlighter I own. #Pinky Rose COSMETICS - Artist Couture Diamond Glow Powder: Supernova[products]#[FiveStars] Honestly I am impressed with boxy charm. Besides make up, I received some skin care items as well. For 25 USD a month, I feel it pays for itself. Considering the hourglass scattered light glitter eyeshadow is 29 USD by itself. I am a happy customer for sure. Have you tried Boxy charm? What are your thoughts? Xoxo, Francesca 💋

I know I usually post about skincare, but I recently started playing around with eyeshadow more and was really pleased with this look! I liked it so much I decided to use it for my Cherie Catwalk clip 💕 I’m so grateful to have been included in the video! Here’s what I used to achieve this eye look: Eyeshadow: IL MAKIAGE - Neon Rage 6 Shade Pressed Pigment Palette Highlighter: FENTY BEAUTY - Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter in “Sangria Sunrise.” I used it in the corner of my eyes and on top of the pink eyeshadow because it wasn’t sparkly like the green. Pink eyeliner: REVOLUTION - Satin Kiss Lipliner Green eyeliner: NYX - Vivid Brights Eyeliner in “Vivid Escape” White eyeliner: NYX - Slide on Eye Pencil in “Pure White”

...Sorry, but I just really like Fall 😜 Also I wanted to use my brand new HipDot Zion palette that I just received from BoxyCharm. I wanted to do a soft fall look today with no lashes and everything, but this palette was so pigmented that it ended up being a dramatic look. I wasn’t expecting that. The shades look muted and toned down in the pan, but once you apply on your lids it’s so pigmented and punchy that it was hard to blend it out because even the lightest shade has impact. It’s good because it didn’t take some time to build up, but I would be careful with this palette especially if you want a soft and toned down look. I was pretty impressed with this palette. I’ve heard great things about HipDot, but I didn’t expect the shadows to perform this well. Also I’ve gotten numerous palettes from BoxyCharm that are lack luster. Consider yourself lucky if you’re subscribed to BoxyCharm and get this on your box this month. HIPDOT - Zion Eyeshadow Palette I used: -Grounded (transition and lower lash) -Narrows (crease) -Canyon (buff out edges) -Vibration (outer corner and lower lash) -Angels Landing (lid) -Virgin (inner corner and brow highlight) -Colourpop Jelly Much Shadow in Sagauro (on top of Angels Landing) I used MAC lipstick in the shade persistence on my lips. If you’re not subscribed to BoxyCharm and want this palette, it is available on HipDot’s website for 30 USD. Not bad for a 15 eyeshadow pan. What is your favorite season? Francesca 💋 #CheriePartner

I never thought I would wear yellow eyeshadow...like EVER, but I HAD to try Colourpop’s “uh-huh honey” palette. At first I thought it was a dupe for UD’s naked honey palette, but I compared both and this is a true yellow eyeshadow while UD is more of a bronze gold/honey toned. 2 palettes are completely different. This look is super simple. I only used 2 brushes (Sigma E35 and E27) and 5 eyeshadows. I used: On beehave (transition and lower lash line) Stinger (crease ) Buzz kill (inner+ outer lid, lower lash line) Sunburst (mid lid) Palooza (mid lid on top of sunburst) Colourpop bff liner in “grande” I have Kylie’s lip gloss in “literally” This is a beautiful palette and it is subtle enough to be used for an everyday soft summer glam. What do you think of yellow eyeshadows? Francesca

I would like to introduce different lipsticks I usually use on different occasions, such as going to school, clubs and work. Mac 108 is definitely the one I will apply when I go to the club. This one has a gorgeous red. This one looks beautiful on my neutral skin, and it is suitable for day and nighttime looks. In the evening, it creates a dreamy vampish classic red with a smoky eye. I really love the sexy moderately red color. The formula is amazing. However, after a few hours applying this lipstick, my lip feels dry and peel. So I need to apply lip balm before this. This one has strong staying power. After eating and drinking, it just turns lighter in color but not fade. The color is also buildable when I want a darker or lighter color. When I go to the club, this color boosts my confidence. I love it! Kylie gloss literary is the lipstick I will wear when I go to school. Literary is a kind of medium shade, which is not too dark or too cute to me. The color is very suitable for formal occasions with light markup. When I am applying this lipstick, I prefer an earth tone with this perfect nude and shiny color. This one lasts a long time before having to reapply. I think it would work best on all skin tones. The gloss is excellent with a very sticky formula. I have to be careful when I open the lip because the bristle is easy to mess up. It smells like a cupcake. Lancome ruby cream 02 is the one I usually wear when I work. I need to face the customers and provide excellent customer services with a shiny smell. This lipstick helps my smell sweet and elegant. The shade of the lipstick is very different and beautiful. It has a matte finish and a little bit shine to it. It has a beautiful rich red, matte finish and a little bit shine to it. It has fun and luxurious packaging. I need to press the top of the tube, and the tube slides down. I love the formula because it is super creamy, but not dry or sticky. The texture is heavenly, very pigmented and hydrating. When applying, this goes on smoothly and evenly. Sometimes my lip is very dry, and this one can make my lip soft and smooth. One of the drawbacks of this lipstick is that this is not a very last-long lipstick. When I eat or drink this one, it would slowly fade.

I have always had pretty prominent dark circles due to genetics and no doubt lack of sleep! Through a ton of trial and error I have found a routine and products that work really well for me to cover my dark circles almost completely (I do have slight hallows which makes it look like a dark circle). Surprising I use 4-5 products to achieve this look. •First I use a warm (as in orangey) red lipstick. Yes, lipstick. It counteracts the blueish tones under your eyes. Trust me. This is the step that is a game changer. I use Kosas - Weightless Lip Color but any warm toned red lipstick will work. I mainly focus this on the inner part of my eye where I have the most darkness. (I also use this under my nostrils because I have slight shadowing there). •I next use BECCA - Under Eye Brightening Corrector and it is much lighter and peachier than the lipstick. This is great to use on top of the lipstick to blend together. It is much more emollient and easier to work with. This has light reflecting particles to help brighten the eye even further. •I then use two concealers on top of those. Currently I am using a light shade of DOSE OF COLORS - Meet Your Hue Concealer This concealer is easy to work with. Super creamy and has minimal creasing. I only apply a small dot to my inner eye with this one. •I then use a warmer-more yellow shade (Snow) of Too Faced - Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer on the outer edge of my eye and in the mid part of my cheek (this allows for a brightened inner face and less product under the eye the better). I then use a beauty blender to blend these two completely. Blend up under the eye and out the inner corner as well. •My last step is to set this all down!! My favorite powders to use are laura mercier - Translucent Loose Setting Powder and Charlotte Tilbury - Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder Both are great for setting the face. I like to bake with the LM powder since it is a loose powder and it’s easier to use product. Hope this helps. 🥰 #cheriepartner

FENTY BEAUTY - Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation trying out this new foundation sample by fenty. Kept me nice and matte for majority of my wear. A touch of oil did start to peak through but that was with about 8hrs with of wear. It oxidized a touch so I think I’d get a shade lighter to try out. NYX - Epic Wear Eye & Body Liquid Liner love this liner. It’s dark and easy to apply. A little hard to remove, even with my professional products. But I do love it benefit - Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer this was my go to after I ran out of my Mac brow pencil. I like that it has a little more length to the pencil so I can hold it better. I wish the product was a little firmer so I’m able to make more defined hair strokes. laura mercier - Translucent Loose Setting Powder love this setting powder. Sometimes I’ll use a powdered foundation if I need a little more coverage but I typically set my whole face sigh this powder. I don’t bake since power dries out my under eye area but this powder keeps my skin smooth. It also blends well with my contour powder and my highlight powders.

I doubt myself. I doubt my skills. I sometimes don’t think I’m beautiful. I find myself questioning if I’m feminine enough or intelligent enough. I break myself out of this by focusing who I am and who I am meant to be. I say my affirmations, pray to God for clarity and move on. I also do my makeup to cope with everything. It may not be as physical as yoga and not as thorough as therapy but it’s my own form of thereapy. With every stroke of the brush, I say to myself that I am beautiful. I am feminine. I am smart and no one can doubt my skills! I am enough. So are you! Makeup used: Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer FENTY BEAUTY - Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation L.A.
