Looks – Keepin’ It Simple with Neutrals
Posted On: 05/30/08
Posted in: Brown, Looks, Neutral
I thought I’d keep it simple for today :) Took my boyfriend and his brother drunk mini-golfing (I’m allergic to alcohol, so I’m always DD!). Kind of fun?
What does everyone have planned for the weekend? I’m moving! Incredibly exciting, right? So not.
I used Soft Ochre paint pot all over lid, Ricepaper eyeshadow on inner half of lid, Charcoal Brown eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Satin Taupe eyeshadow on outer crease, Goldmine eyeshadow lightly on outer lid/middle of lid, Ricepaper eyeshadow on brow bone to highlight, Urban Decay Stash 24/7 liner on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I had Margin blush with Dior Amber Diamond SkinShimmer on cheeks. I wore Fuschia Fix tinted lip conditioner with Take A Hint tendertone (LE) on lips.

Take A Hint = Cellopink

Ohh, how very fun, Tatiana! There are several MAC stores in SF, but you can go to http://www.maccosmetics.com and search! The Golden Gate, the Japanese Gardens, MLK park… Haight/Ashbury! So much, lol.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Tatiana! Who knew simple could work out so well :P
Friday, May 30, 2008
This is a gorgeous look on you!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thank you so much, Lina!
Friday, May 30, 2008

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
I’m so glad you liked it, Davina! Sometimes simple can go so far!
Friday, May 30, 2008
gorgeous as always! you must’ve been a stand-out at the mini golf place!!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Amelia! LOL! Probably ;) It was pretty early in the day so hardly anyone was there!

Love the look and high five on the alcohol allergy. Whenever people find out I am allergic to alcohol they either look at me like I’m crazy or like that’s the saddest thing they ever heard.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Kobri! WOW! What happens if/when you consume alcohol?
Friday, May 30, 2008
I have take-a-hint but it doesn’t look that great on me ! =( lol. Great look ! Simple but very lovely.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Aww!! It’s Fuchsia Fix that helps revv it up!
Friday, May 30, 2008
Kobri and Christine…both of yuo and me make three that are allergic to alcohol…I know the “sad” look that you get, lol. It’s even funnier when I tell people I’m allergic to the cold (which I am – I swell up, turn red, and itch when my hands, etc. get too cold).
And Christine – thanks for the look using Satin Taupe! I just bought it today…so now I have something I can do with it! :)
Saturday, May 31, 2008
My sister is allergic to cold and alcohol too!! weird…
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
WOW! What happens to you when you consume it? It’s crazy that there are more of us–I couldn’t find ANY info on it.
Friday, May 30, 2008
OH, SWEET JESUS!
This is by far one of the sexiest looks I’ve seen in a while. And, it’s just so natural!
I love it, Christine! And, I love ur top!
I think I might try this look tomorrow. I’m kinda going out with friends since Thursday was my birthday!
YAY!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Oh, wow!! Thank you so much Sash!
Happy birthday hun!
Friday, May 30, 2008
OH yes I agree with Sash. This is one of those Perfect Christine looks.
As for the weekend, nothing but homework. I have 8 exams left and I’m done with highschool. But geometry is such a pain.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Aw, thanks, Ashlee! Poor you, hope you’ve gotten through those exams!!
Friday, May 30, 2008
This looks so good! I really want that Stash pencil.
Hey, I’m moving too! Moving is rough, but I also like it; it’s kinda fun, starting over and getting the opportunity to re-organize and re-think everything. Tomorrow we sign our new lease. I think I’ll wear makeup like this look.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Carrie! I am really lovin’ Stash for something visible, but not so dramatic like black.
Oh, good luck moving and everything with the new place. How do you like it so far? (Or have you not moved yet?)
Friday, May 30, 2008
You look so gorgeous. I love this kind of understated but thoroughly put together look.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thank you, Mukho! :) Sometimes simple really is the best.
Saturday, May 31, 2008
This look is so beautiful, I want to try it. What do you recommend if I don’t have charcoal brown? I have wedge, I might try that. :)
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Michelle! Any dark brown, honestly :) Just go lightly, and matte is best!
Saturday, May 31, 2008

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thank you so much! Oh, of course :)
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Really pretty look, love the lips especially.
I hope it is not too hot this weekend in Northern California, it is awful having to move in the heat. I had to move once in 100 degree heat, had a heatstroke afterwards ;
I´m having a garden party this weekend, but nothing wild, mostly babies and harassed mommies, well, that´s probably going to be quite wild after all ;)
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Wot is Garden party?
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks so much! Nope, not hot at all. We hired movers, too, which helps, l ol!
Hope your garden party went well :D
Saturday, May 31, 2008
I second Mukho, understated but put together, very nice.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Thanks, Lala! :D
Saturday, May 31, 2008

ps. am so loving the layered hairstyle you’ve got there :)
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks Theresa :) I was having a good hair day, lol!
Saturday, May 31, 2008
I’m allergic to alcohol, too! DD rules! =)
Saturday, May 31, 2008
That lip combo is so hot! BTW, I am loving your fuller eyebrows, I noticed you have grown them in. The shape looks much better.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thank you! Yes, I’ve been trying to grow them a bit thicker.
Saturday, May 31, 2008
You look absolutely radiant, Christine :)
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Stacey!
Saturday, May 31, 2008
I love this on you! Who’s taking care of the pup while you guys are packing and moving?
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Karen! We are, lol, poor guy was stuck in his cage most of moving day.
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Hi Christine! This is such a pretty look! You look amazing. Also, I love the lips. Now, I seriously MUST try out Fuschia Fix. I’ve never really been very interested in the Lip Conditioners just because they’re kind of bulky, and I’m not fond of sticking my fingers in lip jars; it’s a little unsanitary applying on the go (where my hands may not be very clean). But Fuschia Fix looks lovely with the shimmer from Take a Hint.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks so much! Fuchsia Fix is one of my fave TLCs, especially for just everyday lips. I use a retractable lip brush!
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Gorgeous! You look like you’re glowing Christine! Love everything you’ve chosen to match the look.
P.S Moving is fun, packing up is not! Lol.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thanks, Jan :D This is definitely a look I’ll do again!
LOL, I don’t know, the only good part is when you’re all settled in and unpacked!
Monday, June 2, 2008
That look is insanely gorgeous!!! =O I’ve been feeling the need to go for a natural look lately and this look is just perfect!! =D
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Thank you sooo much! :D Sometimes the natural look is what you need!
Monday, June 30, 2008
sorry i’m new here.. what does LE stands for? what brand? =)
Monday, June 30, 2008
Limited Edition :) If I don’t state otherwise, I used MAC!
