EOTD: Soft Valentine's Day look

Click the pic for better quality :)

This was my EOTD yesterday for Valentine's Day. Nothing too fancy because I had to work, just cute, soft and colorful. It reminds me of those conversation heart candies. :3

Products:

-Lime Crime Candy Eyed Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer

-Sugarpill Mochi pressed eyeshadow (minty aqua on lid)

BFTE Cosmetics eyeshadows in:

-Caribbean (teal on outer half of lid)

-Tough Men Wear Pink (peach on inner half of lower lashline)

-Simply Me (purple on lower lashline)

-Whisper (apricot/violet duochrome on tearduct)

-Urban Decay Naked Basics palette (browns in crease and cream shimmer on browbone)

-Loreal Lineur Intense liquid liner

-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara

My liner got a little messed up when I curled my lashes somehow, it kind of flaked off a little towards the inner corner which was weird. I also used an old dried out mascara so it's a little flaky as well, but I just got a new one today so yay. :D

Thanks for reading :)

The Grinch In February???

LOL so I totally found this on my memory card about a week ago. I was asked to do the Grinch's makeup for a Christmas party and had to practice. I figured the best way to see what I liked and what I didn't would be to film said "practice". There are quite a few things that I liked and for SURE some things I ended up not doing. No masks were allowed at the party and the guy playing the Grinch thought I was just going to do a few freckles on him. Little did he know....hee hee hee. So here I am in all of my Grinch glory. My camera died on me toward the end so it cuts off before I finish but I put some pictures in there of the final product. Hope you guys enjoy!!! BTW, what are you doing for Valentines Day???

Here's the guy that played the Grinch. He did an awesome job and never broke character! =)

Day 3: "Synergy" glitter eye look

I did this look last night for Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge my friends and I are doing; you can check it out my other days here!

 Day 3: a picture of you with glitter

I wanted to use some of my new Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadows and I love how they look! I'm calling this look "Synergy" because it totally reminds me of the character from Jem, one of my favorite cartoons as a little girl. The glitter totally looks like the glowing buttons on the Synergy computer machine thing! That's what I was thinking of while creating this look. ;)

You can see the iridescent colors on the outer edges best in this no-flash shot; they were more visible in person but of course the camera doesn't pick up colors like this, huhu :c

Products:

-BFTE Cosmetics Eye and Lip Primer

Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadows in:

-Prophecy (copper-tan-gold shade)

-Kaboom! (blackened reddish plum with sparkle)

-The End... (blackened purple with shimmer)

-Rapture (light lilac with reddish sheen)

-Lucky (white/teal duochrome with sparkle)

-Provoke (warm taupe with red sheen; I used this on my browbone)
-Sephora white pencil (on waterline)

-Mardi Gras (patina green with copper shimmer)

-Mystique (pale aqua frost with pink sheen)

-Glitter Glue (on lower lashline and outer corner)

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (tearduct only)

-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara

-Ardell Demi Wispies w/ DUO Dark lash adhesive

-MAC Blacktrack Fluidline (upper lashline only)

-Loreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black Felt Tip Liquid Liner

NYX Candy Glitter Liners in:

-Aqua, Purple, and El Dorado (mixed over the eyeliner)

-Urban Decay Naked Basics palette (on brow)

These shots show a bit of context and how the makeup looked on my face. I have to say, even though the pictures turned out okay, this looked so much cooler in person!

It's been so long since I've done a makeup look like this... it feels good to be back in the saddle. ;) I'm so in love with Provoke, it's an amazing color and I know I'll be using it a ton! You can see swatches of Provoke and some of these colors here. Swatches of the rest here and here.

I hope you enjoyed it and I look forward to bringing you more looks for this challenge.

Thanks for reading!♥

30 Day Collab: Days 1 and 2

 Some friends and I decided to do this 30 Day Makeup Challenge as a sort of collaboration together, yay! No promises to whether I'll be able to keep it up but I'm going to try ;)

Day 1: a picture of your face without makeup

 I wasn't sweating posting a naked face pic until i actually had to do it, lol. I've posted bare-faced me before but it felt so deliberate this time, I guess. You can see a bit of how unhappy my skin has been lately. It's changed a lot in the last few months and I'm still figuring out what to do with it.

Day 2: a picture of your typical makeup

 This is a fairly typical makeup look for me when I'm going to church or maybe out to eat or something. A semi-special occasion look.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've done makeup in the past 2 months so I feel a little rusty, lol. I used a moisture mask today so my skin wasn't as flaky while doing this makeup look which was good.

Products I used for my typical makeup look.

-Reviva Labs Makeup Primer
-Belleme BB Cream
-BFTE Cosmetics mineral foundation in Light Beige
-Darling Girl Cosmetics blush in Secret Star
-BFTE Cosmetics "Butt Naked" (not pictured) face highlight
-BFTE Cosmetics Eye and Lip Primer (on eyes)
-NYX Slide On pencil in Golden Olive
-Urban Decay Naked Basics palette (on eyes/brows)
-Maybelline and Cover Girl mascaras (not pictured)
-NYX lip pencil in Nude Pink
-NYX Mega Shine gloss in Smokey Look

If you have a Facebook page and are interested in participating in this challenge collab, please go to my challenge album and comment with your page name and I'll add you to the list!

I hope you enjoyed this! I'm looking forward to doing these daily challenges so keep an eye out for them! Thanks for reading :)
