Double Wing & Warm Shadows

Hello everyone, 

I'm sorry for the delay between posts, but I'm still having some trouble formatting the page. 

But, here's a post of something I tried out today and kind of liked. 

It's a simple warm look using eyeshadows, something I do just about everyday. With a bit of a twist. Doubling up on the liner. A wing on top and a wing on the lower lash line. 

Kinda bold. Kinda daring. I kinda like it. 

BEAUTY INGREDIENTS

1. Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation in Caramel

2. Revlon Photoready Foundation in Caramel (used as a concealer)

3. Too Faced Shadow Insurance

4. bhcosmetics 88 Neutral Palette

5. NYC Liquid Liner in Black

6. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

7. Rimmel Eye Kohl in Nude (on waterline)

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate

9. bhcosmetics Correct and Concealer Palette in Medium (brow highlight)

I like this look more than my usual everyday look, but the only issue with wearing it all the time for me is the time it took to carefully line my lower lash line with that liquid eyeliner. 

The amount of times I've tried this look and stabbed myself in my eye is truly obscene.
So if you're trying this look, take it slow. Don't be a hero. Seriously. 

So I do my makeup in a sports bra? 

What about it ? I like to be comfortable, okay . 

Get over yourself. 

Hope you enjoy this. 

Please don't be let down by the "brief-ness" of this post, I'm still very frustrated with the format of some better posts, and I'm doing my best to figure out the html stuff to try to make it as best as possible before I show it to you guys. As well as trying to make the pictures better. 

The things I do for you. Kidding. 

Thanks everyone. 

Thanks for stopping by !

COCKTAIL HOUR: White Peach Sangriaaa

heyhihello !

Here's another cocktail inspired look !

White Peach Sangria is one of the drinks I can remember from when I was a child.

Not because I was a child alcoholic, but because of my mother and her friends.

They would get together and drink this stuff pitcher after pitcher after pitcher

Have a good time with this look, the colors are flattering on just about every skintone and there's tons of dupes for the shadows that I used, so play with this look and make it your own.

as always... enjoy =]

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 =]

ENJOY

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

NOTD: Lincoln Center

Hi Everyone !
Here's a really quick NOTD

So I've always taken note of NYC nail products whenever I'm in a drugstore but I've never purchased any colors. When I was at Walmart a few weeks ago I finally decided to pay the $1.72 and buy the color I had been staring at for 10 minutes.

NYC's quick drying nail polish in Lincoln Center

The label claims that it dries in 60seconds, and although I didn't use a stopwatch while I was painting my nails, I thing NYC is pretty quick drying.. a minute might be pushin it though.
I painted my left hand starting from my little finger and working in and by the time I applied my first coat to my thumb the polish on my pink finger was ready for another coat.

It's shown here with 2 coats. The first coat was uneven, and not as deep as I wanted. But if you're looking for a cherry color, 1 coat will do it.

All in all im kind of impressed with this polish. For less than $2 I'm not mad at all. I painted my nails Thursday night and it's 2:06am Tuesday.. and there are only a few chips... but I wash dishes every night and have a nervous habit of chipping polish in classes

Try it out for yourself =D
