Softly Smoky: Drama, but Not Too Much

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,...

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...

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...

Look: MAC Photorealism Eyeshadow Quad Made Easy

Here's an attempt at using MAC's Photorealism eyeshadow quad :) The photos are a little wonky, because silly me forgot to change the white balance settings before taking these photos, SO I had to muck around with them (to get the right color) in Photoshop. I think they're *fairly* accurate, but...

Look - Quick & Dirty Smokey Eyes

Look - Quick & Dirty Smokey Eyes

Quick and dirty smoky eye :) So, I finally get my foundation to match my skin in *natural* light... but then either the foundation or my setting powder reflects light and it doesn't match in photos! Apparently, my bathroom light is terrible, because so many foundations looked like they were a match,...

Look - All Matte & Neutral

I wore this look yesterday to have lunch with my mom and sister :) My mom seemed to really love this look on me -- she said everything just complemented each other. She rarely comments on my makeup, so maybe there's something to what she said, ha!

Happy Friday! I hope you all have some fun weekend...

Look - Smokey Eyes with Gray and Silver

It's been SO long since I've done the "traditional" smokey eye, so I had the urge to try it out again :) I'm spending my weekend cramming/studying for my Stats and Managerial Accounting finals on Monday (yay, back-to-back finals, so awesome!). I'm meeting up with some study buddies for Stats in an...

Look - Neutral Hello Kitty Eye with Lucky Tom Palette

Easy look today. I was actually only putting on makeup because I wanted to snap a picture of my hair ;) I originally paired this eye with Strayin' lipstick and Nice to Be Nice lipglass from HK, but I wasn't feeling it so I swapped it out. My head is aching something fierce this morning, so I...
