<em>Tu-Lips</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <strong><a href="http://projectswatch.blogspot.com/">Emi</a></strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;My inspiration was the vibrant pinks and oranges of tulips. Thus, I blended pink and orange lipsticks for my lipcolor. I did a green look for my eyes to reflect the stems.&#8221;<br />

<em>Colourful Purples</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span><strong> Kris K.</strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;The image posted as inspiration on Temptalia, because I love purple but I almost never use it. I thought I would incorporate light purple, dark purple, yellow and dark green and see if I could get something wearable outside.&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof primer, inner corner: MAC Golden Lemon, lid:<br />

<em>Spring Garden</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span><strong> <a href="http://www.justmakeitup3.blogspot.com/">Anjum</a></strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;Essentially, I was inspired to do this look when I was walking my dog a few weeks ago, and I saw a tree with these beautiful flowers on it and no leaves. Then I started talking to my dog (yes, that&#8217;s normal) saying that I should do a tutorial in which my eyes were flowers. That&#8217;s how it came about, all though the flowers I saw were different colors than what I used, just because the flowers were white and pink; kind of hard to do on the eye. So I brightened the colors, and there you go!&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot, Urban Decay Woodstock Eyeliner, Bh Cosmetics 88 Matte Palette, Urban Decay Corrupt Eyeliner, Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara, Maybelline Greatlash Mascara in Teal Appeal</p>

<em>Azaleas</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <strong><a href="http://brightlycoloredperson.wordpress.com/">Daena</a></strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;Azaleas are my favorite flower and when they bloom in early spring, it seems like everywhere you look is a burst of neon magenta framed by green leaves.&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Fyrinnae Kitten in Heels, Merman, Elven Dagger; Too Faced Boy Toy, Steel Magnolias; Aromaleigh Snapdragon, Milani LIQUID EYE Metallic Eye Liner Pencil, Urban Decay 27/4 Pencil in Mildew, Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara, Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Luminous Foundation in 100 Nyc blush in Peach Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.temptalia.com/images/summer2012/springlooks007.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>Pansysmansy</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span><strong> <a href="http://tunywuny.tumblr.com">Tuny</a></strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;I see pansies outside of my work building and they come to mind when I think of spring, so I decided to base this look off the purple pansy image used for the contest post. Initially I was going to do a flower on each eye, but I thought that would be too distracting and stuck with one. In order to get the colors to look vibrant and last, I used cream-based products of the respective color and then pat eye shadow of the same color on top of it.&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> Sugarpill-Tako (matte white), Skinfood-Lipstick OR02(creamy pink-orange), Eyebrow Pencil #2 (black brown, Dior-AirFlash 301 (matte medium beige), Garden Pastels Palette (frost yellow green, Tarte-Bronzer-Park Ave Princess (shimmery gold), Tokidoki-Tulipano (matte pink purple), Urban Decay &#8211; 24/7 Eye Pencil El Dorado (warm sparkly gold), Mildew (deep green), Ransom (shimmer blue purple), MUFE-Aqua Liner 13 (matte black), BE-Buxom Lash Mascara (matte black), Sephora-Eyeliner 03 (pure white)</p>

<em>Purple Crocus</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <strong><a href="http://mostlysunnybunny.wordpress.com">Sunny</a></strong><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;This look is inspired by purple crocus, which is a purple flower with yellow center. I combined purple and gold on my lids, and used green for my lower lash line to represent the stem/leaves!&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> Eyes: L&#8217;Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Perpetual Purple, Urban Decay Purple Haze, the gold side of L&#8217;Oreal Metallic HiP duo in Gilded, Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in Emerald Green, MAC Humid.

<em>Super Easy Easter Nails</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <a href="http://www.cherrysuedointhedo.com">Susan J.</a><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;I chose a mixture of cutesy Easter looks for my manicure; they&#8217;re all super easy to replicate at home.&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> Seche Porcelain, Leighton Denny Babydoll, Avon Sea Breeze, Essence Lime Up, Barry M Lemon &amp; Blueberry, Sally Hansen Greige Gardens</p>

<em>Flower Fields</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <a href="http://www.chinadolltt.blogspot.com">Naomi H.</a><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;My nieces love the colour pink and challenged me to incorporate this colour into a design. Since I have been interested in flowers and plants lately the two collided into this manicure.&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> OPI Pink Friday, Sinful Colours Swedish Blue, Green nail stripper polish, China Glaze Moonlight, Seche Vite top coat</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.temptalia.com/images/summer2012/springnails003.jpg" alt="" /><br />

<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <a href="http://www.makeupbymelby.blogspot.com">Melinda M.</a><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;Everyone has been talking about the Caviar nail trend but the kits to create the look are *SO* expensive. So I made my own caviar nails using stuff you can find for a good price at your local craft store!&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> China Glaze Nail Polish &#8211; Make Some Noise, Martha Stewart Metallic Microbeads (available at Michael&#8217;s), Seche Vite Top Coat</p>

<em>Spring Splash of Color</em></p>
<p><span class="largetextid">submitted by:</span> <a href="http://www.nailsneverfails.blogspot.com">Tiffany S.</a><br />
<span class="largetextid">inspiration:</span> &#8220;This design was inspired by the bright colors of Spring! I took four of my favorite OPI polishes and instead of doing a water marble on all of my nails, I just did one on my accent nails. The water marble design reminded me of pretty flower petals!&#8221;<br />
<span class="largetextid">products used:</span> All polishes used were OPI from the Shrek collection: The dark blue is Ogre the top Blue, the purple is Funkey Dunkey, the light blue is What&#8217;s with the Cattitude, and the green is Who the Shrek are you.</p>

<em>Stacy&#8217;s Halloween look</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>STACY</strong></span> is from New York City and just graduated from Fordham University in May in Psychology.  She has been doing research at Columbia University and wants to be a child and adoelescent psychiatrist.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>INSPIRATION</strong></span>:  Growing up, I always enjoyed dressing up masculine for halloween. I never liked being the fairy, bride, princess, or any cute, feminine costume what so ever. I always liked being the power ranger, Jason, Freddy, or any &#8220;scary&#8221; male character. So this year I was inspired by Two face from Batman. I did the joker with a feminine twist by wearing a green corset, purple jeans and a purple tie. IT looked absolutely amazing! I felt with two face I can make it sexy, yet scary at the same time. I always like to think outside the box and not be the typical feminine character.</p>
