Look of the day 11/28

Today's Look was inspired by one of my favorite purples MAC has to offer and it's Nocturnelle and I combined it with a gorgeous light green that goes by Aquavert.
As you can see Aquavert is in a green tin, I bought it along with waternymph and some others during a promotion they were having so I'm not sure if you can get this color by itself.
This look is fairly simple, it's a two color look so it's quick.

After priming my eyes and adding a basic light beige over my entire eye as the base, I started by patting the Aquavert onto the middle of my eyelid & a little over my crease as well. I packed it on in the middle and pulled it towards the corners of my eyes so it would fade out.
I then dabbed some Nocturnelle on a blending brush and lightly swirled it from the corners and worked it in towards the middle of my eye so it could blend in with the Aquavert.
Super easy and quick!
For eyeliner I usually always start with some Carbon, by MAC cosmetics, and with a thin angled eyeliner brush I line my entire lash line and then grab a black liquid liner and start from the middle and line out into a wing. I only use liquid liner on the middle because my eyes tend to water a lot and I just don't like getting it running in my eyes. I'd rather a clean powdered line that won't smudge ;)

In-Styler

In-Styler

My mom got me the In Styler for my birthday last week and I was so excited because I've been wanting to try it out for quite some time.

I wanted to see just how well it actually worked. I naturally have wavy, super frizzy hair. Which I forgot to take a picture of before I started but trust me, it's bad, I look like Mufassa!
I am happy to say that it works wonderfully! It truly does work.
I'll be back to post pictures, It's not wanting to upload the ones I took :(
It works faster than a flat iron and i love how easily I can curl the ends of my hair.
The only problem that I have found is that because the barrel is rather large, I'd say like a 1.5 inch curling iron, I can't get very close to the root. I know you aren't supposed to do that but I do anyways.  So what I do is bust out my flat iron anyway and just use it at the very end and do like a really quick over...over..? oh, I don't know what word I'm looking for lol, I just go over the top of my hair really quick. It takes me about 45 seconds.
It came with a square pad to rest it on while your doing your hair, a black stand for it to rest on, a 3-in-one detangling comb, a travel/storage bag and an instructional DVD which isn't really necessary as I found it to be pretty easy to use.

It left my hair so soft, and not hot. Usually when I go over my hair with a flat iron I can't grab that part until it cools down or it'll burn my hand.
But the tool itself gets really hot. And yes, I know these things get hot, but I was just having a moment I guess and burned the crap out of my arm, yes my arm, don't ask haha.

Do I recommend this styling tool? YES!
