Look of the Day: Lilac Spring Eyes

Now that it's spring I'm using my favorite eye shadow, Pure Luxe Romance, more and more. And today, *drumroll* I even tried falsies again. I still struggle, I think it might be because I have cheapo lashes and cheap glue. Anyways here's a light silvery lilac look that's wearable yet fun and has a little drama with the lashes. It's product light and quick ('cept for fumbling with lashes)

My infamous raised eyebrow look responsible for my
forehead wrinkles at the ripe old age of 21.

Look of the Day: Orange POP Eyes

I was bored this evening after work and decided to play around and do something 'different'. I didn't really have a plan and the result isn't a wearable day look but it's always fun to play with bright colors.

Look of the Day: Got Back?

Play time. Recently I've been rediscovering my Coastal Scents Smacks, expect for Got Back?, a dark coppery chocolate color. It's definately not a spring shade but I wanted to try using it for a look so I ended up with this dark copper/gold metallic look. I like the eyes but I think the eyes plus the lips is a bit much unless its for a costume party or something. The gold plus dark lips makes me think of some evil powerful Roman queen or something. Or Angelina Jolie in her earlier days (god what a beautiful woman!)

Products Used:
FACE
-The Face Shop Liquid Foundation (Light Beige) - An old shade that I don't think quiet matches anymore...
-E.L.F. Tone Correcting Concealer (Ivory)

EYES
-Benefit Lemon Aid Color Correcting Eye Primer
-Coastal Scents Gel Liner ( 24K Gold) - Used on lid
-L.A. Colors 12 Eyeshadow Palette (Traditional) - Found it in the dollar, most are worthless but I like a couple of the darker colors so I keep it around, used the bottom row, right in the crease

-Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara (Black Brown)

LIPS

MAC Too Fabulous Look Recreation

I've been drooling over MAC's Too Fabulous collection for some time (in particular the Duo blushes). Anyways I was playing around today with nothing in particular in mind at first and then halfway through I decided to try MAC's Too Fabulous look.

MAC's Too Fabulous

Here's my recreation of it in about 10 minutes. Unfortunately my camera is whacked at the moment so I had to use my web cam which is really poor quality, sorry :(. And obviously I didn't have anyone to nuzzle up against me sadly.


Here's MAC's and mine side by side. Not too bad considering it didn't plan it out and did it pretty quick. I lucked out and look a little like the model (expect for the nose!). Sadly I used no MAC products for this! Lol. Also I nevvvvvveeeer use false lashes, so that was interesting too.


Products used:

FACE
-E.L.F. Tinted Moisturizer (Ivory)
-Cover Girl Balance Complexion Foundation (Buff Beige)
-10 Piece Professional Blush Palette (Unnamed hot pink in the 2nd row, 2nd from the right)
-All applied with Paris Presents Highlighter Brush - Reviewed here

EYES
-Coastal Scents Gel Liner (Silk White) - Used as base
-E.L.F Brightening Eye Color (White from Drama quad)
-NARS Blush (Albatross) - Used as a highlighter on the brow and inner corner of eye
-Cover Girl LashBlast Mascara (Black Brown)
-E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Kit (Dark)
-E.L.F. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (Black)
-Unnamed flash eyelashes (from some cheap china based ebay site)
-Bare Escentuals Precision Eyeliner Brush
-Bare Escentuals Eye Defining Brush
-The Face Shop C Brush

LIPS
-The Face Shop Perfect Stick Concealer - To lighten lips
-Unnamed pink lipstick from an old makeup set (maybe from Kohl's?)
-Petite Potions Orangesickle Clear Lip Gloss (from dollar store but I love it!)

And to remove I used Almay eye makeup remover pads (they're for your eyes but I use them all over my face).

I had a lot of fun with this look and I think I might try it again when my camera is working again!
