FOTD: lucky green & humid

Hello everyone!

While I was cleaning out my makeup for my blogsale, I found something I purchased a while back and totally forgot about. I picked up MAC's Humid eyeshadow while I was vacationing with my family a few months ago and I guess it got lost under all the shopping bags from those few weeks.

Well, I finally got to use it yesterday! I honestly haven't worn color in a VERY long time so this was the first in a while so I kept it simple. This look was so simple that I almost didn't post it but I figured I was due for a new one.

I hate the after effects of tying my hair into a ponytail. I had a test prior to these photos and I like to remove any hair from my frame of vision and I end up with my right side all creased up! I'm overdue for a haircut too.

(Lucky green all over the lid, Humid in the outer corner, a little bit of Sassy Grass on the middle of the lid, Rated R in the crease, and Shroom for a highlight)

- Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion

I feel that although this had color, it was still very neutral because of the earthy tones of the green. I almost want to whip out my purples and wear a bold look now!

Here's Buddy. He likes to come outside with me to take pictures and bark at anyone who walks by. Haha, he's a silly boy. Oh, and I think makeup is foreign to him because every time I have my makeup spread out he goes on a sniffing spree!

Have a great weekend everyone! I have exciting state fair plans which involve a lot of fried food! Hopefully I don't have a heart attack, wish me luck ;)

FOTD: in love with red

Hi all ~

I didn't realize the Marilyn collection released on Thursday :(

I stopped by my MAC counter on Friday because I was already in the neighborhood and decided to see my girls that worked there. (I was going across the street to order a cake for "mom-in-law.") Below is the look I wore to go run errands. When I was taking this photo outside on my balcony, the UPS man walked through. I felt embarrassed but I wanted to document my makeup before I forgot!

All the girls at MAC thought I was wearing a Marilyn lip color. It made me realize that I really did not need anything from this collection! I didn't plan to get anything anyway, just to check out the lipsticks and the blushes but good thing I ended up leaving with nothing! (Okay, I actually grabbed Butter London's Nail Foundation but I've been wanting that since the entire line came out.)

Face

- Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Liquid Foundation

- MAC Mineralized Concealer

 Eyes

- NARS Smudgeproof Primer

- Urban Decay Naked Palette

(used Virgin, Sin, Naked, Darkhouse)

- Physician's Formula Liquid Liner Pen

- Maybelline Megaplush Mascara

- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

(used Perversion on waterline and Midnight Cowboy, Half Baked, Corrupt on the lower lashline)

Lips

- MAC Eden Rouge Mattene Lipstick

I swear that red lipstick is my all time favorite! It's not drying and it lasts all day without feathering or fading. It was still available at my MAC counter from a collection that released a while ago but I definitely recommend any of the mattenes. Their formula is loveeeeee.

And here's what I wore today. Simple neutral/gray eyes but I wanted to photograph my sweater!

It's night time now so sorry there's no natural daylight so I took this in the bathroom.

(Please excuse the mess in the background, I blurred it out so you can't tell what crap it is lol)

I love this sweater! I purchased it last fall from forever 21, it's big but not big enough to my liking. I'm in the market to purchase more sweaters for the winter because they're so comfy but I have a hard time liking them once I try it on. Any recommendations?

My next post I want to get up is a "what's in my makeup bag" post so look out for that ;)

No Mirror Makeup Challenge

Hi ~

Last week, my friend Vyvien and I decided to attempt the "no mirror makeup challenge" after we finished our exams. She's in California for school at the moment so this was over the internet type of thing :P

This is how mine turned out...

Not bad at all! The purple in the heatherette palette didn't turn out as vibrant as I'd wanted it too, but I'm at my boyfriend's apartment and most of my makeup collection is at home so I had to improvise!

I also couldn't find any lipsticks so I just blended out some lipliner and made it work ;)

One thing that did piss me off; my stupid Palladio liquid liner pen broke on it! The tip fell out and got all over my arms/legs/thumb. I fixed it but that really made me made but I guess it couldn't have been a better time lol.

Photo below on the foreign marks. I thought there would've been more but I guess the odds were in my favor.

& lastly, the products I used. Sorry for such a dim picture, the apartment doesn't get good lighting which definitely works when I'm trying to sleep in ^_^

I think everyone should give this a try! It was really fun and interesting to see :)

Until next time.

FOTD: Simple & Bright

Feedback, please!

Hello all...

It's been a while since I've regularly posted, and I've been thinking of starting back up again.

Playing with makeup definitely helps relieves stress, and I've got tons of it now that I've started my last year of college. (or what I hope will be my last year assuming things go as planned)

I'm torn between whether I want to blog sale my unused stuff away.. THERE'S A LOT.

Or whether I want to keep it, but even then I'd still have makeup to last me years.

With it being my last year, I have completely stopped working for this fall semester because the amount of time I have left of school really depends on how good I do this semester so I thought it'd be a good idea.

Now with that being said, I've already burned through half of my student loan (which I didn't get much of) and now I'm going to be needing money which is why I want to get rid of the stuff I don't use.

I actually took photos of everything I'd like to get rid of, yet I still want to keep it, but then it'll sit here and not get used :(

Everything is ready to go live for a blog sale... but the prices are not the same as I had in the past because I don't want to part with it.

Should I post, or not?!

Please give me some feedback :)
