COCKTAIL HOUR: Cotton Candy Cosmopolitan

So, I have a secret
I secretly canNOT wait to order obnoxious drinks like this one simply for way they look.
Does that make me weird? Judge me.

Looking through all the makeup that I have I noticed something.. I don't have alot of pink. at all
Because I have this idea that pink is one of the dumbest colors ever.
Not only that, but I'm not a babygirl.. therefore wearing anything pink is completely unacceptable.

But today I broke my own rule, and went pink crazy.
And I'm not even mad about it
Here's my version of a Cotton Candy Cosmopolitan.... for your face =]

COCKTAIL HOUR : Mudslide Martini

okay.
so it's been a while since i've posted anything but as an excuse, it was way too friggin hot where I live to do anything. Honestly. The heat wave was out of control and I was definitely not interested in painting my face over and over trying to get a makeup look to work.
But it's beginning to cool down, so I can finally pull out my makeup again =] yay.

I kept the Mudslide Martini look pretty light and just added hints of some warm and cooler toned browns.
Whenever I see this drink being served at restaurants it's always a creamy milKy color with chocolate syrup drizzled around the inside of the glass, so that's where my inspiration came from.

COCKTAIL HOUR - Tequila Sunrise

heyhihellothere everyone.
Hope everyone's weekend was amazing=]

The next few looks are going to be cocktail inspired... because who doesn't love a good drink during the summer?
This first one takes the colors from a fairly popular drink, the tequila sunrise.
A beautiful bold cranberry eyeshadow all over the lid really dominates this look, but the oranges and yellow make it really Fun. Not to mention this look is super wearable. I wore it to work and out shopping and hanginout with my friends. So be bold.
ENJOY

A Wearable Smokey Eye

hey.hi.hello.
This has been my go to look for this week, so I figured I'd sharee
It's easy enough that I can hit the snooze button a few times and still manage to look 'done up'
But if you wanted to make it more dramatic you could definitely spend a little more time with it.

And the fact that that it's champagne and a mixture of browns and other neutrals makes this a great look, no matter your eye color.
ENJOY
