After yesterday's experimentation, this is my actual look for the day. Sometimes it's fun just to have, well, fun with makeup - to be able to try out things and combinations that are gloriously over the top. Obviously, this is pre-hair cut!

In my excitement to tell (and show!) you all about my new hairstyle, I totally overlooked how important a before and after shot would be! So, here it is :) I was completely overwhelmed by the response to the cut, so thank you all so very much! I agree I could go as short as the original inspiration...

How do you make sure you get your beauty sleep? Do you wear a sleeping mask? Pamper yourself before bed?
I've spent the past week or two drooling over the above haircut. It just appeals to me, and I couldn't really tell you why. Perhaps it's because the model has such amazing features that she can rock this cut. I've always gone to the same hair salon for $8 hair cuts--yes, $8 haircuts--but I've always...
Just something I messed around with for FUN. Emphasis on fun and experimentation aka not necessarily a look I'd be running around town with on an everyday basis ;)

What is your ultimate go-to eyeliner? What are you always reaching for more than any other eye liner? Is it liquid? What's the color? And of course, who makes it?
Boy was I frustrated when I didn't get in on the pre-order for this gloss when it was available online. It's sold out already online. It's not even out yet! There is a very, very small YSL counter at my Nordstrom's, but I'm thinkin' they won't get this in stock. I really want this. Something about...
Asta shares this Cult of Cherry look with us!
She used the Shadowy Lady quad with Smudged Violet on the inner half of the lid and Shadowy Lady on the outer half. Then I used Lightfall on the inner corner and above the crease to the brow. I lined my lower lashes with Deep Truth and also blended it...
Yesterday, I did Bing + Jampacked... well, I also threw Cult of Cherry lipglass on top of that to see how it would look. Â That's what I'm showing you today :) Â (Which is why I'm wearing the same shirt -- these photos are from yesterday!) I put a little more blush on (just heavier), too.
You will...
How do you feel about occasion appropriate makeup? Is there such a thing? Do you rebel against it? Do you think it's a good rule of thumb?
Eyes are pretty much non-existent, but I think it's pretty clear it's ALL about the lips!

What makeup is in your purse RIGHT now? Is it rolling around loose? Makeup bag inside?
This look is from yesterday, and I wore to go see my parents. The boy, Mellan, and I headed up for lunch and dinner, for a bunch of grilled food. (Mmm, Korean BBQ ribs!!) Oh, and lots and lots of swimming ;) I really liked how Cult of Cherry added pop to Lightly Ripe, but not TOO much. I think...
You know what's fun? When I started to create my autumn wishlist, I thought it would be neat to go back and see what I was drooling over during summer--and see how much actually made it into my stash.
From my first summer temptations set: Clinique Almost Powder and Ojon Tawaka "The Ball." From my second...
How many beauty brands do you follow? What brands are you always on the look out for something new?
The Surgery-Free Makeover by Brandith Irwin ($24.00) seemed like it was going to be a very interesting and helpful book. When I read the introduction, I thought I was going to learn all about which ingredients are good, which ones are bad, what treatment options I had to combat different skin...
T3 Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo ($25.00) is a great way to get another day between washes. What I really love it is to rejuvenate my hair when I go to the beach or pool, because I don't want to wash my hair too frequently. Instead, I'll spritz this all over my hair--especially the roots--and my...
