Looks – Green, Purple, and Pink — Really, who knew?
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
Mellan update: yesterday, he spent the day at the vet so they could monitor him and take chest x-rays. When we picked him up yesterday afternoon, the vet showed us the x-rays, and he said that he didn’t see anything that stood out to him as abnormal. Today, our vet spoke with some specialists, aand the radiologist also agreed that his heart looked normal. So while there is definitely a heart murmur present, they do not feel it is life threatening at this time. I imagine that unless we start seeing symptoms, we should assume he’s pretty normal (well, for him!). Thank you all SO much for your kind words and thoughts. They meant so much to us 
I took the above photo tonight, after I did tonight’s look — he always keeps me company by staring into the bathroom (he’s not allowed in it except for baths) longingly!
I got the urge to try and recreate my “Barbie Loves MAC” look, and I did… using not the same products as before, LOL.
I used Golder’s Green pigment (LE) on lid, Pink Pearl pigment above crease, Metamorph eyeshadow (LE) on lid, Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow above crease, Parfait Amour eyeshadow in crease, Living Pink eyeshadow (LE) above crease, Hush eyeshadow on brow, Metamorph eyeshadow (LE) on lower lash line, Blacktrack fluidline on upper lash line, Feline kohl power (LE) on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I had Don’t Be Shy blush (LE) on cheeks with Lightly Lilac beauty powder to highlight. I wore Fashionably Fuchsia lipstick (LE) with Crystal Rose lipglass (LE) on my lips.
** These are recommendations for dupes based on permanent colors available — may not necessarily be identical; they are the closest I can think of!
Golder’s Green = Kelly Green + Chartreuse; Metamorph = Juxt; Warm Chill = Surreal + Juxt; Living Pink = Swish; Feline = Graphblack; Don’t Be Shy = Well Dressed; Fashionably Fuchsia = Girl About Town; Crystal Rose = Pink Pearl pigment + clear gloss
Yah it was pretty sweet actually. I did it to myself first just for fun but then when I went out with my roomie and some of our friends I did it to her and she wore it out instead LOL..it turned out great both times so thanks for the idea. :)
So glad to hear it, Bettina!
I just recreated this look just to see if I could and I think I have to wear it out somewhere soon..love it. :)
YAY!!! I'm so glad you could!
how did you get you eye liner on the inner parts so dark and to stay
I just line with the pencil, that's really it! No real tricks!
mellan <33333 you look like beyonce in these lol
:):) LOL, thanks? I think!
you do look like a barbie! :) who wud've thought is right! Thanks for being such a risktaker girly!
Thanks, Charlene :D
HOTTY, HOT, HOT! Ur so hot, Christine! WOOOHOOO
Thank you Sash!
I love this look and all of the Barbie stuff! Your puppy isn't really looking like a puppy anymore! He's so big!!!
Thanks, Stephanie :D No, he's not quite a puppy - I always forget that technically he is, since he doesn't look it at all!
I love the lips! ♥
Thanks, Kelly!
ooooooh, LOVE this!!! it is GORGEOUS!
Thank you, Brittany!
You have a lovely dog. I'm glad that you feel better now and Mellan is okay. Just a concern, how come his eyes are red?
Thank you :) Those are his inner rims. He always looks like his eyes are red when he looks up at you or you look down at him!
I am so glad to hear about wee Mellan! You must be such a relieved mum! :) Mellan is such a gorgeous little guy! Well, not so little anymore - he is growing fast! Anyway, as for the look, it is gorgeous! You seem to be able to wear any colours! I would love to try that lip combo someday. Juyst wish I'd picked up those LE products. Maybe I'll be lucky and come across them at a CCO (not holding my breath though!).
I am! I can't tell you how relieved we are :) Thank you so much!! I adore Fashionably Fuchsia, it's my favorite hot pink lipstick ever!
Hmm, just looking at the pictures, could you tell us the difference between Golder's Green piggie and the recent Warm Chill shadow? (That's the light green one, right?) They look kind of similar to me. Hope your doggie feels better, too! I wish him the best!
Warm Chill barely showed up, which is probably why you can't see any difference, lol. Thanks!
aww im glad hes okay! i would be lost completely without my dog cute look!
I know exactly what you mean, Alexa! Thanks!
Wow, you rock those brights! It's like your eyes were made for that pink/purple on the brow. Great news on your doggie. He's gotten so big
lol! Thank you :D I know, he's so giant. 60 pounds of dog!
I am so glad that the furry one is doing okay! And: oh my, he has grown so much!! He has such a pretty face..those big, soulfull eyes.. :o) Love the look...but you already know that!
Us too :) I know, he's huge! 60 pounds! Thank you!
Good boy Mellan! *gives him a very big chew bone* I'm so happy he's okay.
lol! Me too :) Thanks, Tekoa!
ahh Mellan is so cute and I have got to try this look. How do you get such good separation of your colors? When i try to recreate some of your looks, the colors just run together and it looks nothing like yours.
Thanks, Kellie! Hmm, I don't do that much actual blending - I do a lot of overlaying, so not tons of swishing back and forth...
Oh wow what a fun look! And I'm glad your doggy's okay :)
Thanks, Marsadie :)
Hi Christine, I'm glad your puppy is ok and you're doing good as well. Again, another beautiful look. You are an inspiration to me:)
Aww, thank you Sandy! Happy to be of service ;P
Good thing Megellan is ok :) Your hair looks really good curly...what did you do to make it like that!
:) Thanks! Honestly? Not a thing. It gets wavy after a few days, since I usually have it up, I guess?
You look radiant as ever Christine! I'm very happy your cute Magellan is fine. It is always a real scare when you here news like that and it is good to have it examined. Lucky thing is, in most cases it is not that bad and many dogs grow over it as they get older. Hope this goes for your blond beauty aswell. Hugs and paws up for the Lab, Daantje
Hey Daantje! Thanks for your happy thoughts and encouragement :) It is the most bizarre thing, but he's well now and that's what counts.
I'm so happy to hear Magellan is doing okay!! That's great! And love the look--very bright and summery!
Thanks a lot, AmyLou! :)
BOTH of you are beautiful. I am so glad he is alright. I love the lipstick.
Thanks, Rubi :D
OH MY! I'm so happy that Magellan doing well. He is so cute and so loved! Great look Christine...u r sooooo pretty...I might give it a go...
We are, too! :) Thanks! This look is so fun, you should definitely try it, Tina!
Love this look! Very pretty! I'm glad to hear Mellan is okay! I'm sure he is so glad to be home, but I'm sure the vet techs and assistants were giving him lots of snuggles yesterday to make him more relaxed!
Thank you so much! :) Yes, our vet is WONDERFUL. Both him and his staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and just the best.
