Korres Look: Greens & Coral

Korres Look: Green & Coral for Spring

I did this look using some of Korres' highlighted products for summer -- #42 Eyeshadow (a beautiful summery green) and #45 Coral Lipstick (a moisturizing orange-coral with a glossy sheen). I also used several other Korres products to bring it all together, but...

Make Up For Ever Look: #21 Turquoise Aqua Cream

You know what's frustrating? When you do your makeup, think it's rockin', and then you see it in close-up photos and can't figure out why it didn't translate!  But anyway, it's all part of the journey--the learning, that is--so why not share it with...

MAC To the Beach Look: Humid, Shimmermoss, and "Sweet & Punchy"

If you've been collecting MAC for years, you and I both know that we own near-dupes of coming attractions, no matter how pretty the newest, shiniest thing may look. Since MAC To the Beach is out in the UK already, I thought I'd try a...

Bright Makeup: Sky Blues

I got the BLUES! At least, when it comes to the next week... because it's study, study, STUDY! I feel like my focus is off, too, which is very annoying and frustrating. I managed to get through one outline yesterday, and today, I hope to get through another today... and...

A Look of Great Experimentation: My Face as a Test Site!

Bright Makeup: Just Playin' Around

I wanted to test out some new products I purchased, so I figured perhaps I'd try to create a coherent look rather than have ten different new products in various places on my face with no rhyme or reason! I mostly wanted to test out Tarina Tarantino's eyeshadows...

Bright Makeup: So Blue, So, So, Blue!

Bright Makeup: So Blue, So, So, Blue!

I thought about doing a mix of blue and some other color (was leaning towards purple), but then I thought, "It's been awhile since I've done *all* blue, hasn't it?" and then this was created. The blues I used almost look like they're glowing in the close-up...

Liberty of London Look: Greens & Blues

The boyfriend and I headed down to Monterey to visit the Aquarium, so I thought I'd try out some of the new products with some green in there to for that the "oceanic" feel!

I truly apologize for the lack of looks in the past two weeks.  It's been an emotional...

Bright Makeup: Lotsa Teals

Here's a quick look I did using two of the new Benefit eyeshadows, plus one of Urban Decay's new Stardust eyeshadows (to be reviewed in full later). Really loving the way Dolce & Gabbana Nude Blush looks, though. Pain in the behind to photograph a swatch of it, but boy is it...

Spring Makeup: Gold, Green, & Teal with Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette

I love the lips for this look.  It's my new favorite lip combo, and as soon as I slipped on Le Metier de Beaute Apricot Creme, I completely remember why I shelled out $36 for it.  In fact, I think I'm going to place an...
