Red White and....Yellow

Hi everyone !
Sorry it's taken a while for me to upload since my last post. I've been moving back into my place at school and trying to get things organized.
Classes started today.. and they suck
So while wishing it was still summer, I remember that I did this look before I left and never put it up.

I'm not really sure what prompted me on this particular day to use these colors but I did, and I did this look more than once. It does take a little getting used to, but it's relatively easy and it's great if you're missing summer like me.

I mentioned that classes have started, and I don't plan on posting any back to school looks simply because I think if you're at a college/university like I am, you wanna keep it simple so you can roll outta bed 3minutes before class without having to worry about looking perfect.
I recommend just dabbing concealer on undereye circles, and blemishes and maybe a few uick swipes of some mascara to open your eyes up.
That's what I'll probably be doing.

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.

GOODLUCK
