St. Patrick's Day Look

Yay! I love St. Patty's Day! And it is a big deal to me because I'm a quarter Irish (my grandparents were full Irish) and I love all things Irish, adult beverages included. So in honor of this most awesome and festive day: a St. Patty's Day look. Sorry for the hair, I did this look at almost 2am and I'm in pjs and my hair is a mess and I'm like whatev. The downside is now my makeup is all done and I have no where to go but to sleep, sad day. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Eyes:
Clinique eye pencil in Frost as a base
White shimmer eyeshadow in the inner corner
Beauty from the Earth mineral eyeshadow in Jade in the middle of lid
Heavenly Natural Beauty mineral eyeshadow in Sea Dragon on outer corner blended into crease and on lower lash line
White matte eyeshadow as a highlight
Sephora liquid eyeliner in Black on upper lash line
Rimmel London pencil eyeliner in Jungle Green on waterline

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC Satin Taupe on the lid
Lancome Color Du Jour in the crease
MAC Beauty Marked in the outer crease to create a more depth look
MAC Grand Entrance as a highlight
Sephora Liquid Eyeliner in Black on upper lash line

Dark Grey Smoky Eyes

This past weekend I had the privileged of doing two of my sorority sister's makeup for a fraternity formal. And they let me take pictures and gave me permission to post them. Which is awesome because I don't like the fact that it's always me on here. Even though it is my blog, I don't want people to think I'm narcissistic, plus this gives others the opportunity to see that I'm somewhat qualified in putting makeup on others. It is a difficult task, especially with the eyes, which is all I did on this look. So below is a dark grey smoky look I did and as always the products used:

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Almay intense-i-color trio for hazels in the grey pallet. I used the medium grey color on the lid, the dark grey mixed with a matte black in the crease. And a white shimmer as a highlight.
Sephora liquid eyeliner in black on the upper lash line.
Revlon pencil eyeliner on the lower water line.
Fresh's mascara in Supernova

Sexy Vampire Red

So this look is inspired by Breaking Dawn. I won't give away any details of why I picked these colors...but I need to add that ever since I saw the this red eyeshadow called "Siren" at LimeCrime...I had to have to it and I had to do a look with it! Plus, those of you with green eyes, red is the color that makes them pop! So enjoy this pretty intense look!

PS-- I didn't really smile in these pictures since I felt being a vampire and all...you really weren't suppose to look happy.

Face (yes I did make my face as pale as I could): CoverGirl Aquasmoother in Ivory and MAC Blot Pressed Powder in Light

Eyes: LimeCrime Siren on lid and inner corner, any black matte eyeshadow color in the crease and under my lower lash line (I used mine from a pro-palette) and a white matte as a highlight (again used the pro-palette). Sephora's Liquid Eyeliner in Black which I winged out at the outter corner of my eye for a more dramatic look. Revlon's Pencil Eyeliner in Black.

Lips: Chanel Glossimer Lipgloss in Moonlight

Smokey Blue

I did this look for a themed birthday party the other night--Glitter Fabulous! <3. I got ambitious and began experimenting. Since I love MAC Satin Taupe I wanted to do a smokey look from that...but not with black. So I did a dark and light blue. Enjoy!

Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Satin Taupe all over lid. NARS Night Flight smoked out from the crease and on half of the lower lash line. Dior's 5 eyeshadow palette in Twilight--used the lightest blue in inner corner and halfway under bottom lash line. MAC Grand Entrance as a highlight. Sephora liquid eyeliner in Black on upper lash line and Revlon eyeliner pencil in Black on the lower waterline. Benefit's Browzings in Light and Fresh's mascara in Supernova.

Cheeks**

Lips: Chanel Glossimer lipgloss in Seashell

**Instead of a blush, I just used Benefit's Georgia Peach powder all over for just a nice glow with a bit of color.









I just like messing with the contrast in my photos to enhance the intensity plus it looks cool. But yeah this picture above is more for fun and not to show the actual colors of the look.

My Valentines Day look--BELATED

Hey guys sorry it's been awhile. Unfortunately, I had school to contend with involving 4 midterms this past week within two days. At least I survived my week of hell. So I am posting this look and another one tonight. And I plan on sometime this week if my LimeCrime mineral eyeshadow comes in that is to do a "Sexy Vampire Look"--here's a hint, it's a inspired by Breaking Dawn.

Anyways as always enjoy this semi-dramatic night look!

Eyes: Glamour Check on lid, Satin taupe in crease mix with Clinique dark pink from the Pink
Chocolate quad. Light pink in Pink Chocolate quad as a highlight. Sephora liquid eyeliner
in black on upper lash line. Urban Decay eyeliner pencil in 1999 on waterline and lower
lash line. Eyebrows in Benefit's browzings. Fresh's Supernova Mascara in Black.

Cheeks: Spell blush in Zinfandel

Lips: Lancome Color Fever lipstick in Fashion Icon, Not Victim and Spell Obvious lip gloss

Beauty from the Earth Haul!!

This was my first time ordering from BFTE and I am very impressed with their multipurpose minerals. They are very pigmented and are only $6.50 for a 5 gram jar. Plus they have 9 pages of colors! I will definitely be ordering more from them in the future, I really want to do a rainbow look and they have the perfect colors for them. And if anyone is looking for an intense blue color, I hear their Blueberry is amazing, which is another color that will be in my order.

Below are the colors I got...Done in different lighting so that it gives you a better look at the colors. Addicted actually was the sample they sent me because you get a free one with each order. A very intense red I'm in love with! I must add that the colors on my hand are used wet with a mixing medium so that it shows their intensity. Also, the colors below certain colors are a duo chrome on a black base. I messed up on Envy because it is not a duo chrome, but Dragon and Mermaid are. Dragon is a bronze/brown with green duo chrome and Mermaid a yellow gold with a light green duo chrome. Isis actually is more red in the jar but turned on more brown when applied on skin wet or dry. It's still pretty nonetheless. And Diamonds is just amazing overall. I am quite pleased with my haul :D
