Summer Makeup: Molten Lava Goes To the Beach

Happy Thursday, everyone! :) I hope everyone's been having a fantastic week -- almost to the weekend (a long one, if you're in the U.S., too!).  I totally went to my comfort zone with this look -- metallic, bronzy, coppery shades.  I can't remember if...

Mix & Match with Urban Decay & MAC

Here's a look I did test-driving NARS' new eyeshadow base (got a sample of it with a recent Sephora order) and new Urban Decay eyeshadows.  Plus, even though I still don't feel like Lazy Day is a must-have (and I really thought it was going to be higher on the sell out...

MAC To the Beach Look: Gold & Green

I had ten minutes to do my makeup from start to finish, and this is what I ended up with! I'm pretty satisfied with the results -- I went with a combo that I'm sure I've done before, but I used some of the newer MAC To the Beach shades.  As suspected, though, Get-Away...

MAC To the Beach Look: Clarins + Neon Orange

This is the look I ended up wearing to attend my local MAC's To the Beach event.  I had originally planned to do something bolder and brighter on the eyes, but I ran out of time, so I just went with the look I started the day with!

I'm happy to say I...

Hmm, I was trying to do a combo I haven't done before. It came out... interesting! :) I think it's one of those looks-better-in-real-life kind of looks.

How's your Tuesday going? I'm excited--my Nubar order arrived this afternoon, so I can't wait to go play 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...

Softly Smoky: Drama, but Not Too Much

Quickie look I did before I took my midterm to test out the wear of some new products I'm trying out! :) I will say I refuse to use Urban Decay's Maui Wowie eyeshadow again. I'm through with it! It is fallout city, and even when I use it with a sticky base,...

I felt like playing around a bit last night, so I ended up with this at the end of playtime! Thought I'd share :) I normally pair this kind of look with bright pink lips, but I thought I'd try something a little more orange, just for fun, so there are two lip...

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...
