Honey Bee Holistics Wrinkle Away Eye Cream

I just recently heard about Etsy, so I had to check it and out and some searching for beauty products that I needed. Also have recently got into organic beauty products. One of the first things that I had been looking for was an eye cream, and I believe I have found my favorite/go to eye cream. It's from a shop on Etsy called Honey Bee Holistics!

The Wrinkle Away Eye Cream is like all their products and are all natural and has only organic products. All the herbs used to make their products are either wild-harvested or grown by the owner herself. So of course this seemed like a no brainer for me. The ingredients (organic local beeswax, organic sweet apricot kernal oil, organic golden jojoba oil, organic carrott seed essentrial oil, organic evening primrose oil) in the Wrinkle Eye Cream are simple but very effective.

When I received my package I was super excited to try to the Wrinkle Eye Cream, but I was even more happy with how nice the owner was to include a handwritten note, and even a sample of soap!



Aside from the owner being super nice the product itself is AMAZING, and it actually smells good, too! And like the directions say a little bit goes a long way! Overall this is the eye cream that I have been looking for! There are other amazing products in their shop, especially for mommy to be's and babies!

Bright Green Eye Using Sugarpill & Urban Decay

This was my first attempt at creating a cut crease look, and I'm not quite sure I got it perfect, but I did like the results! This was also another reason to play with some more Sugarpill colors, and quite possibly my favorite green EVER!

First always prime your eyes, this time I used something different, Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then I took Sugarpill's Absinthe and added a little bit of mixing medium to make the color more vibrant, and then just added that to the entire lid. Next comes the more difficult part, the actual part of cutting the crease! I used a small angled brush and first added Sugarpill's Dollipop and blended that up, then I took Urban Decay Underland (from the Alice in Wonderland palette) and added that under the Dollipop and blended it in just slightly. Last I took Urband Decay Oil Slick and blended that slightly into Underland. The actual part of cutting the crease is finished. Recently I have really been into putting actual colors on the waterline, so first I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and then added Sugarpill's Afterparty over that and smudged it into the lowerlash line. Then I added my Maybelline Volum' Express One by One mascara in Very Black and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black on the upper lashline and on the outer 1/3 lower lashline. For blush I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural

Music Genre Series: Dance

This was the genre I was most excited about! Mostly because I knew I was going to get to use my new Sugarpill Sweet Heart palette (a review will follow)! Lots of bright colors, because when I think of dance music I think of raves and being in the club and having lots of fun colors!

Again I always start with Too Faced Shadow Insurance just to make sure your eyeshadows are more vibrant and will last longer, no one like having creasing! Then I took Sugarpill's Dollipop on the inner half of the lid and then add Sugarpill's Midori to the outer half of the lid, and blend the two colors a little bit (not too much this is a look you don't want to be muddy). I then took Too Faced Like a Virgin shadow from the Pixie Pin-Ups palette very lightly a little bit higher than the crease. Then with my Studio Tools crease brush I blended Sugarpill's Afterparty on the crease, and blended it up a little bit on the brown. After that I added Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black mascara, and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner to the upper lashline and the outer half of the lower lashline, and then I added Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Rose, and that's the complete look

If there are any questions or suggestions please post them...I still have a few more of the genre series to do, but the next few posts I'm venturing off of it;)

Music Genre Series: Rock

When I think of Rock I think of Rock I think of purple and as cheesy as it sounds royalty! I also think of Steven Tyler and Mic Jager, so I took a lot of inspiration from them.

Of course always start with Too Faced Shadow Insurance (or any eyelid primer of your choice) After that I used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Zero all over the lid and smudged it out. Next I used the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette on most of the colors. The first color was Underland on top of the Zero. Then I mixed Mushroom and Vorpal in the crease.oI put Jabberwocky in the outer v and on the smudged it on the lower lashline. That was basically going to be the look, but I thought it was too clean for  rock, so I added Urban Decay Alice on the inner crease, and normally I wouldn't blend too much because it becomes muddy, but I thought hmmm...this is rock, so I did blend it. I left a little bit of just Alice peeking through, because it really is a beautiful color. For a brow and tear duct highlight I used Sugarpill's Tako (I think this is becoming my go to brow highlight). To finish off the eyes I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner on the upper lashline and Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Zero in the water line and used Ardell's 21s for false lashes, just to add some more volume. For blush I used Benefit Dallas

Music Genre Series: R&B

For this look I drew a lot of inspiration from Beyonce`. When I think of Beyonce` I think of lots of gold, but yet still very natural.

For starters use an eyelid primer, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Then I put E.L.F Bronzer in Sun Kissed on the inner lid, and from the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II I used Half Baked on the outer 2/3 of the lid and then Too Faced Like A Virgin (from the Pixie Pin-Up palette).  Again from the Urban Decay palette I mixed Perversion and Twice Baked and put it in the outer v with a Essence of Beauty crease brush. I then put Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy Rides again in the tear duct. For the brow highlight I used Sugarpill's Tako. To finish off the eyes I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black for mascara, and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black, and with any look inspired by Beyonce you have to have major lashes, so I added Ardell's 21s and 305s to add volume and a more winged look. And for blush I used Benefit Coralista

Music Genre Series: Country

Next in this series is Country. Being from the South I have had my fair share of country music playing in my life. Up until I was in fifth grade I didn't realize there was any other type of music besides Rock. When I think of the females in Country music I think of very natural looking makeup, so that's basically what I did a very neutral eye look and simple face.

Don't forget to always use an eyelid primer, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Then I used Too Faced Heaven from the Pixie Pin-Ups palette (all Too Faced colors will be from this palette) all over the lid. Then put Too Faced Leading Lady in the inner corner. Next use NYX Iced Mocha all over the lid, and put Too Faced Like A Virgin on the crease. I used Urban Decay Twice Baked very lightly in the outer v to add some definition and Too Faced Erotica on the lower lashline. I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One mascara in Very Black, and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner, very thin on the upper lashline. For blush I used Physicians Formula Genie Blush in Nude Rose, and lastly Too Faced Totally Nude lipstick.

This was a very simple look and would be good to wear everyday for school or work!

Music Genre Series: Pop

The next series I'm doing is inspired by music genres. I listen to music all the time, so this seems like a natural choice. The first genre was possibly the genre I first got to pick out myself and that's pop. When I think of pop music I think of the one and only Britney Spears. When I think of Britney Spears I also think of pinks and purples.

On the inner corner I used a light magenta purple from the E.L.F 100 palette

Then for the outer part of the lid I used a light pink from the same palette

Then for the crease color I mixed two brown shades together and used my Studio Tools Crease brush

Then just too add a little bit more pink I used Sugarpill's Dollipop in the outer v. I then took Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Bourbon on the top lashline and smudged it out.  Next was Maybelline Volum' Express One by One mascara in Very Black and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black. For blush I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural, and then on my lips I used Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Champagne.
