I'M LINDA HILTON

okay... maybe not really "LINDA HILTON" but close enough :D

This one is for Pop Champagne's Contest! It ENDS tonight at 11:59! Unless it's already ended? IDK! Different time zones! LOL

Totally last minute but I got it 8)

I also did a look for VSCUPCAKECOUTURE (vanessa) but I have not posted it up yet. She said she was extending the deadline but I'm not sure to what date but I'm not satisfied with my entry at the moment so I might redo that..

I was thinking oh paris is famous for her crouch shots but I don't think I would want to do that lol, plus the boyfriend wanted me to have CLOTHES on :D I googled her name and good lord this girl has so many inappropriate pictures! I probably found this one on like the 14th page?!?!

Anyway, this is the look:

I shouldn't have gave my white headband away! And I forgot to put my earrings back on for the picture lol, it was a b*tch teasing my hair! I have the STRAIGHTEST FLAT hair ever! And I curled it with a straightener for the first time :)

Yeahhh.. I don't look right when I don't smile! lol I'm too happy of a person :) ...and the pimple is still there but it's really small! ALMOST gone!!! yayyy

I don't think she poses like this but this is MY pose lol

I think Paris has posed like this before? Or similar?? lol, and my boobs looks big here! XD

--

on a side note, I think I've found a dupe for peppermint pattie :D I guess it really helps if you have the actual nail polish :)

Until next time! (which is probably in like a day or two)

Summer Look Contest + EyezAddiction Giveaway

Hello lovely ladiesss! (and gents if there is any besides my boyfriend xD)

Here's my look for Sassy Jadore's Contest. Join if you haven't yet! It ends on.... June 30? Not for sure about the date but if you follow her and read her blog it'll tell you :)

I think this was the look she was going to do! I couldn't find any good pictures but I really liked this one she posted up on her blog! :D

the look I was going for;; Bright eyes, pink cheeks & lips :)... plus that "flower" in the hair xD

Very simple look, I did another look that was super bright and reminded me of deep sea diving or something lol. I wore this to work on Friday night. EXCUSE MY EYEBROWS! They have a mind of their own >:(

Just a neutral eye look.. it's very light reflecting :)

Like my flower? I had a REAL flower but the stem was flimsy because it was kinda old lol. Flower is from lao new years I think?

Everyone see my pimple?!?! My friend under my lip disappeared and this little fellow showed up on my cheek! GROSS!

I tried to wink LOL!

My eyes look funny! :X Everyone see my nails? I did something creative for once :)

MUFE HD powder is the best! My face stayed shine free for practically the entire day!

And last but not least...

I chose this look because I really think it's a good summer look! It's simple and easy to do and I don't think you could get sick of this color combination if you wore it everyday versus the bright colors :)

Graphic Garden Swatches & Review + Food Porn + Award

Today I went to nordie's for their anniversary presale :D I bring you swatches xD

It looks like I'm abusing my mashi... LOL!

Here's all of them in natural daylight. This is probably the only thing I've ever took a picture of when there was daylight :D

Fresh Cut 6 are on the left, Graphic Gardens is on the right. No base, 2 out of 6 eyeshadows on the Fresh Cut palette are lustres (yuck!) Graphic Gardens palette is really pigmented :)

No flash, bottom right one looks like Nars himalayas or iceland. I forgot which one it's called but it's the one that reflects a pinkish color.

Summer Crop is on the left, and Baby Blooms is on the right.

Summer Crop lipglass reminds me of the one from naked honey (she's a star)

So what did I pre-order? Both the eyeshadow palettes!

Fresh Cut Palette -
Floral Inc. - (Frost)
Sun-Shy - (Lustre)
Fresh Cut - (Veluxe Pearl)
Poppy Noir - (Velvet)
Bloomcycle - (Veluxe Pearl)
Part Peony - (Lustre)
#213SE Fluff Brush

The colors didn't apply easily with the q-tip but maybe it's different with brushes and a base. The lustre colors are so pretty but you don't even know how many times I went over it! lol xD The top left color (metallic rosey color) really appealed to me! It went on super smooth probably because it was a veluxe pearl. Highlight colors are okay, nothing too special.

Graphic Gardens Palette -
Social Climber - (Veluxe Pearl)
Botancial Blue - (Frost)
Straight Hedge - (Veluxe Pearl)
Wild Wisteria - (Lustre)
Linear Lilac - (Veluxe Pearl)
Graphic Garden - (Velvet)
#213SE Fluff Brush

This one is a must have if you're looking for some pigmented colors! None of the colors gave me a hard time to swatch like the other palette. They went on really smooth and stayed on my hand for a pretty long time! These colors are pretty frosty and the black color has pretty little pink glitters in it :) I really like the colors on this palette because I'm a fan of blues and purples and really frosty things lol. I really don't need anymore but I just couldn't pass this up for traveling! :D

Summer Crop Lip Bag -
Lipstick: Semi-Annual - (Lustre)
Lipstick: Garden Bed - (Lustre)
Lipglass: Summer Crop - (Frost)

These were a nice set of neutral lip colors. I would've picked this up over the neutral lip bag from the holiday collection because I think these are more wearable on more skintones. The lipglass is just an ordinary nude color, nothing special. If you're looking to grab some nudes go for it because it comes with a cute bag to put it in :)

Baby Blooms Lip Bag -
Lipstick: Soft Illusion - (Frost)
Lipstick: Spiceflower - (Amplified Cream)
Lipglass: Baby Blooms - (Frost)

This lip bag was nice also! I was going to originally pick this one up also from looking at the orginal product images. I liked the rose color but I swatched it and notice that it really looked like one of the lipsticks from the holiday set I got (to swoon for). If you're looking for that color because you missed it during the holidays then you're in luck! The lighter pink color was pretty also but honestly I didn't think it suits my skintone very well. I can only imagine lighter skinned girls wearing this lol. The lipglass didn't really appeal to me either because it goes on dark at first but it kind've goes more sheer as you wear it throughout the day.

The look boxes are pretty neat too! They're pretty much all from the permanent line so if you don't have a nordies and wanted to order online you could check out the colors at your mac counter. I personally like the seductress look box but I have all of those colors except for naked lunch xD If I were starting off makeup this would be a great place to start with purchasing a look box :)

ANYWAY ---

My sister cooked me & my boyfriend dinner the other night :D I made cupcakes but didn't take a picture of that lolll

Yummy salad with croutons :P I like it with RANCH all over!

WE WANT PRENUP

Here's my entry for whitz gold digga contest :) I have no idea when it ends but you can check her out HERE! Please go join :D IF YOU JOIN, you probably have a good chance of winning because not many people have joined yet! :)

I guess I'm still sporting purples somehow..

This was complicated to do, I wasn't sure what to do! lol, So I watched the video and saw the girl with purple as the only makeup color

Too much purple for me so I just went with purple lips :) I wanted to incorporate gold into it somehow but it turned out to be neutral looking! But oh well, I have no more inspiration right now lol

Now I ain't saying you're a gold digger you got needs
You don't want your dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You go out to eat and he cant pay you all can't leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But why you all washing watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datson
He got that ambition baby look in his eyes
This week he mopping floors next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's balling but yeah that's nice
And they gone keep calling and trying
But you stay right girl
But when you get on he leave your ass for a white girl


haha, my favorite verse for some reason xD

So it's very simple and wearable in my opinion. I actually did wear it out lol xD

I look so fake flaunting fake lashes around LOL because they're super long :D

Here's a closeup, it's complicated working with pigments!


Time to bring out the money... :)

I stapled it so they wouldn't go out of place haha :X

in a purple mood..

I've noticed I've been wearing purple all week! HOLY CRAP! lol

I haven't been on blogger for so long! I try to comment when I do read your posts ladies! Sometimes I forget because I get so caught up in the moment.

I attended a wedding a week ago. It was for one of my sister's old friends. It was a cute little wedding in a chapel! :) The food was so delicioussss! I took one plate for my salad and the other for my meal xD Everyone else only had one plate!

Here's me drinking my margarita and eating the strawberry :) I didn't know it was a purple wedding! I'm so glad I coordinated with my eyeshadow LOL

The husband & wife cutting cake number 2. The main cake was a carrot cake :D

Me & Idalyis, my boyfriend's niece. She was the flower girl, so cute! lol, cute but EVIL...

Eww I look gross.. I shouldn't have drank so much! My lipcolor never stays on hehe. I was so sad, I rubbed my eye and forgot I had false lashes on! LOL so they're not even anymore :(

Oh yeah.. this was taken AFTER the wedding!

You can definitely tell the lashes are lop sided by now :X I used MAC Phloof!, Urban Decay Mayhem, and Urban Decay Perversion. Simple right? That's my no fail smokey look basics LOL


And here's a look playing with my new VS beauty rush eyeshadows. I used UDPP as a base.

I have puny straight lashes in the inner corner of my eyes! UGH I hate them!

I used Violet-Femme, Plum Crazy, and Gold Rush

Nars Orgasm on my cheeks and Nars Pillow Talk l/l and Nars Sexual Healing l/g for the lips

Meet my friend. Mr PIMPLE! He's right under my lip, you know where I talk! It's so distracting. I've been covering my chin at work haha because all of the cooks are making fun of me! :( I'm going to start highlighting my cheekbones on the daily.. lol my Blond MSF and Perfect Topping MSF looks untouched! :(


That concludes today's entry. Time to K-O. I worked hard today :)

Next up, Me & "Miley Cyrus"! YOU be the judge lol
