Spring Makeup: The Fresh Bloom of Spring with Purple, Green, & Blue

Spring Makeup: The Fresh Bloom of Spring with Purple, Green, & Blue

One of the most important things to do when doing a look with distinct colors is to be careful not to over-blend, which is really easy, because most of us put our noses to the mirror when we're checking to make sure we did a good...

Colorful Makeup: Green, Teal, & Blue

Colorful Makeup:  Green, Teal, & Blue

I envisioned a green, teal, and blue combination, and I really went from there for this look. I'm also trying to work on using permanent or recently released products in my looks, so, even though it was unplanned and totally coincidental, this look is very much...

Holiday Makeup: Icy Blue Smoky Eyes

Holiday Makeup: Icy Blue Smoky Eyes

MAC Love Lace Look

Here's a quick and dirty look using products from MAC's Love Lace Collection!  I managed to squeeze in all four of the eyeshadows that came out. Just an FYI, Blanc Type looks very, very subtle in real life -- it's not a very camera-friendly color (tends to look a lil' on the chalky...

Holiday Makeup: Winter Wonderland in Blues

Holiday Makeup: Winter Wonderland in Blues

Here's a wintry wonderland kind of look! There's not much to it, and I tried to stick with mostly permanent eyeshadow shades as well. I felt like I hadn't done a blue-ish look in awhile, so I figured I should knock one out!

Happy Wednesday!

You will need the following...

Look: Tropical Green & Teal with Blue Sorcery Mineralize Eyeshadow

Look: Tropical Green & Teal with Blue Sorcery Mineralize Eyeshadow

No matter what I try or how many times I try it, mineralize eyeshadows and I just don't get along. They frustrate me, and using one means I'm adding (wasting) another 15-20 minutes to my makeup routine that really feels unnecessary. I guess it is just not meant to be! I just find that they're...

Look: White Gold & Teal with MAC Mystic Cool Eyeshadow Palette

Look: White Gold & Teal with MAC Mystic Cool Eyeshadow Palette

I wanted to try and do a look that used some of MAC's new holiday palettes, and of course, I really wanted to use Hold My Gaze from the Sorceress palette. As much as I like Hold My Gaze, I don't really love it with the other shades in the palette, so I decided to use it alongside the Mystic Cool...

How's your Wednesday treating you? By the time this post goes live, my butt will be taking a midterm! Can't wait for that to be over! :)

I wore this look out to lunch this past Sunday and used Urban Decay's Book of Shadows Vol. II Palette to do so. I was shooting for a subtle, yet colorful, look, so I...

MAC Style Black Look: Dark Smoky Eyes

Just a quick Style Black I through together this morning before I took a shower. I'm not sold on mineralize eyeshadows whatsoever! I applied these mineralize eyeshadows wet using water-based mixing medium (for better adhesion and to minimize fall out). ...

Look: Stila All Doll'd Up Palette Blue, Green, & Teal Eyes

Here's a look using the Stila All Doll'd Up Palette that I reviewed and LOVED so much. :)

What's on the agenda for today? I'm about two minutes away from being late for leaving for my morning classes (one on federal taxation and another on cyberspace), aka I better get my butt MOVING! How's your...

Look - Love That Look: Green, Blue, & Teal

Look - Love That Look: Green, Blue, & Teal

I thought I'd use some of the new eyeshadows from MAC's Love That Look Collection, and I figured I'd go with a pretty obvious, but fun, combination of green, blue, and teal. You can also expect a video tutorial for this look, too :)

P.S. - I totally realize why I rarely use liquidlast liners. If...
