Pam Anderson inspired makeup look

This week I wanted to take it back to this Pamela Anderson inspired makeup look. I don't find this look too different than some makeup looks today aside from the fact she has the thin "porno brows" as I call them (and jeez my brows came out wonky here). Today I find more people are about having fuller brows and you could of course do yours either way you like (I personally think fuller/normal brows look more flattering and youthful as it would make for a softer appearance AKA "girl next door"). I look nothing like Pam but I did like how the look turned out for the most part.

Face Moisturizer: Olay CC cream
Liquid Foundation: Revlon liquid foundation combination/oily, sand beige
Concealer: Maybelline dark spot corrector, fair
Face Powder: Rimmel stay matte pressed powder, creamy natural
Face Contour: Nars bronzer, Laguna 
Eye Primer: Too Faced shadow insurance
EyeShadow Highlight: Rimmel stay matte pressed powder, creamy natural
EyeShadow Upper Crease: Nars bronzer, Laguna 
EyeShadow Outer Crease and Outer Lid: Urban Decay 2 palette, tease
EyeLiner (3/4 outer top lid cat-eye): Rimmel London professional liquid eyeliner, black
Mascara (1 coat on top lashes): Better than Sex Mascara, black
Brows: Prestige brow duo light to medium, medium
Makeup Finishing Spray: Boots No 7 hydrating mineral water spray
Lip Gloss: OCC stained gloss, dune

Things I would fix: Next time I did this look I would probably use some black pencil liner on the outer lower lash-line to make my eyes look more straight across at the bottom. Also, I should have contoured my nose a bit further in to make it slimmer like Pam's. A pencil liner instead of brow powder would have helped make my brows thinner like hers. Some nude lip liner would have helped define my lips a little more as well.

Everyday Makeup Items of 2013

This past year I stopped buying so much makeup just because it either looked good on someone else or perhaps I just wanted to become something I wasn't (that's partially why you may have noticed a lack of beauty posts on here). I started buying makeup items that I felt flattered myself best rather than becoming a makeup hoarder or burning a hole in my pocket on items I probably won't even use that often if at all. You may see some items I've mentioned on here before (oldies but goodies) but it's what I feel works for me. I always enjoy seeing how my makeup routine changes over the years so, without further ado here's my 2013 everyday makeup items...

Flower Glow Baby Glow Blush-Bronzer Duo, Gloriously Golden
Flower Shine On Lip Gloss, Baby's Breath
NYC Big Bold Curl Mascara, Extreme Black
Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging UV Moisturizer plus Touch of Foundation
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips, Warm Nude Eyes
Prestige Brow Perfection Brow Shaping Studio, Light to Medium
Revlon ColorStay Concealer Makeup, Light 002
Revlon ColorStay for Combo/Oily Skin Makeup, Buff 150
Rimmel Glam Eyes Liner, Black
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, Creamy Natural

Recent Miscellaneous Item Haul

I mostly wanted to share some new items I have gotten recently... I don't really follow any trends for the most part and I'm not overly obsessed with fashion like I am by cosmetics. I just try to buy things I enjoy that make me happy and fit :) However, there are a few others online whose style I can often relate to or feel inspired by... This Chicks Got Style (I like how she has basic staple pieces but also has a stand out piece to her outfits), Ballet and Pink Roses (I think her style works nicely for my age, and I currently love her natural makeup looks via YouTube), and a recent one I found is Mariannan.

-Silver Chunky Sparkle Jordana Nail Polish - Kmart (I haven't tried this yet but it seems like a trending color right now, Essie has a similar one out)
-Olay with Touch of Foundation - Target (I'm on my second bottle of this stuff, I like it so much better than there "Touch of Sun" version)
-Glade Candle in Water Blossoms - Kmart (I bought this because I love the aerosol spray in this stuff but the candle was disappointing and smells a bit masculine to me)
-Revlon Lash Glue - Drugstore.com (I got this because I think I might be allergic to Ardell's latex lash glue and this stuff worked fine for me)
-White Watch - WetSeal (this was free during WetSeal's Black Friday sale when you spent a certain amount of money)
-Black Lace Ballet Flats - Kmart (these are my first pair of ballet flats, they're cute but I'm still unsure if I really like ballet flats in general... I look too short :P)
-Long Gold Earrings - WetSeal (these are too long and heavy for my personal taste and at some point I'll mod these to about half the length and perhaps make a bracelet out of the other one, these match a necklace I got from Target awhile back)
-Feather Earrings - (I think my mom got these at Rugged Warehouse and they're pretty cute)
-Imoshion Black Faux Fur Purse - TJMaxx (I'm really liking this brand of purse which is why I got this cute furry handbag, my other Imoshion purse has really held up as my everyday bag)
-Black Vest with Leopard Print Collar - Kmart (For some reason I couldn't resist this vest, I think I found the leopard collar appealing, hah)
-Big Black Tote Bag - TJMaxx (originally $110 I got it for $60 and thought this would be a cute alternative for my purple Target tote that I use for school, it also came with a wallet)
-White Washcloths - TJMaxx (I needed some new washcloths and these were a good deal :P )
-Black and White Skirt - WetSeal (yes, I have a bit of a bum due to my Spanish side I guess, hahah...)
