Look - Urban Decay Book of Shadows Olive Greens

Look - Urban Decay Book of Shadows Olive Greens

I feel like I haven't done a really green look in forever! Of course, forever just might translate to a month or two, but that's too long, right? ;)

By the way, did you know the blog celebrated its two-year birthday on October 3rd? Yep! The first post on Temptalia went up on October 3rd, 2006.

Happy...

Looks - Urban Decay Book of Shadows Purple Eye

Looks - Urban Decay Book of Shadows Purple Eye

I wasn't too happy with the way this turned out (especially photography-wise, something was off!), but on the positive side, I did use a color combination I haven't done in some time (or maybe ever, my memory is pretty faulty!). I was aiming to do something different than my norm when it comes to...

Looks - Chanel Beiges de Chanel for Silky Neutrals

Chanel's Beiges de Chanel Quad is absolutely a delight to use! It's my new favorite for neutrals, because the colors aren't just beautiful, but they are so soft and silky during application.

Lip Lust: High 90s Slimshine

Lip Lust: High 90s Slimshine

I love High 90s Slimshine, which came out with Cool Heat. It is such a great bright coral, and I love pairing it with greens and blues. Even golds and browns can be good shades to coordinate it with! In this particular lip look, I topped the slimshine with Politely Pink lipglass, which came out...

Look - Dior Twilight Quint for Sultry Blue Smoky Eyes

GRR!! I really, really LOVED this look and how it turned out, and of course - I didn't do close-ups in front of a mirror, so they didn't turn out as well as they normally did. I included more full-face shots as a compromise, since I just uploaded them this morning (aka, the makeup was removed!). ...

Look - Crushed Bougainvillea Stars!

Look - Crushed Bougainvillea Stars!

Reallyyy quick look I did running out the door to school last night. I originally was just going to try Crushed Bougainvillea as a lip stain, but ah, such is life. Got a little carried away! More to show you what things look like than a real look, I'd say. (Oh, and I didn't like how the cheeks...

The Vampire Lip Experiment - YSL Pur Black Gloss Pt. II

YSL Pur Black Gloss sure is fun!

Above is the result of a little experiment I did last night trying to do "vampire lips" or the "just bitten" lips. Let me tell you, it isn't as easy as you'd think! It's not just red lipstick and then slapping on black gloss. Ultimately, what worked best was matte red...

Look from yesterday :) My brain is tired from reading marketing--at least it isn't dying like it was doing accounting homework. I think accounting might kick my butt, LOL!
