FOTD - Pearlized Purple

Hello fellow makeup lovers! I thought I'd share an eye look I was playing around with today. I've been wanting to create a look using an Inglot pigment (35) I bought not too long ago. Hope you guys like!

Face

L'Oreal Lumi foundation in W6

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer in Light/Medium

MAC blush in Blushbaby

Laura Mercier bronzer in Golden Mosaic

Eyes

Brows: Swiss Chocolate, Embark
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink

Lid: Inglot pigment in 35

Bottom lid: Maybelline Color Tattoos in Gold Shimmer & Fuschia Fever

Lips

Nothing

I really loved this look, but couldn't figure out what lip to go with it. I tried a few pinks, but none of them looked right. I like the way I looks without lipstick.

What do you guys think? Would you wear a look with no lipstick?

Lips

Sonia Kashuk lipstick in Sheer Bronzey Nude

I based this look off MakeupbyLeina's look below:

I wish I could make my brows look as great as her! I left my brow stuff at home, so my brows were a bit funky! I guess that's what happens when you do your makeup at school. Oh well!

Would you ever rock a blue-eyed look?

FOTD - Kelly Rowland's Kiss Down Low

By now some of you may have seen the crazy amount of makeup tutorials popping up from this Kelly Rowland video:

There are SO many good looks in this vid, I may do a few (or all) of them. :) I didn't have the exact colors for this look, but I improvised a bit. Hope you like!~

Some stills from the look.

Under different lighting - this shows off the shading better. 

I couldn't decide on the lips. The lip on the right is closer to what was used in the video.

Mine turned out pretty different, since I don't own a dark enough green or a blue eyeliner.

Have you seen the video? Which is your favorite look?

FOTD - Makeupgeek March Challenge - Colorblocking

Hey guys! I finally decided to join in one of Makeupgeek's monthly challenges. The challenge this month was to create a look using these images as inspiration:

I was pretty nervous about submitting a look, because I've never done this before. I only just submitted mine in the nick of time. 

Here's my look:

 I used way too many products to list them all (though if you'd like to know, I'll post). I used an old Sephora palette, Inglot + MAC eyeshadows. I tried a combination of OCC lip tars (Hoochie + Pretty Boy + Feathered), but it didn't quite work out. I then slathered on some of MAC's Rebel, but toned it down to a stain. I think that looks much better.


Wish me luck!

New Revlon Lip Butters!

I heard about the new shades a few months back and have been waiting *patiently* for the shades to arrive in stores. Well, I finally came across some empty stacks at Target a few days ago and I knew it was time to hit the pavement and find these beauties.

Today I came across three of the new four shades and left with all three, though I hadn't intended to! I did not purchase Pink Lemonade (not only because it wasn't there), because although I'm sure it's a beautiful shade, my lips are so dark that I don't think the color would work on me.

Sam's Birthday - FOTD

This past thursday was my husband Sam's birthday! We had a very lowkey hangout with friends; went out to eat and then came back home to play some Zombie Call of Duty.

Once again, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY! 

Here is a picture of the cake I baked for Sam's birthday. :) No frosting, because it's a very milky cake.

Below is the makeup I wore that day.

Hopefully you can't tell from the pictures that I was feeling very sick that day. This has been a rough week, healthwise, but I think I'm finally starting to get better. Yay!
