All Matte EOTD

And a tutorial too! kinda..haha

I’ve been seeing a some matte EOTD’s around lately and I noticed they can be really beautiful in their own right. I think we tend to go for shimmery or pearl shadows cuz they look cute in the pan, but this time I got really excited to just use mattes.

From matte

I used the green shadow in the upper left mixed with a matte Jordana black shadow. Jordana actually has pigmented shadows and they’re super cheap too, but when I was at walgreens today I didn’t see any Jordana shadows! Where are they?? Long’s maybe? If you know where to get Jordana shadows, please let me know. They carry a bunch of matte colors too. And it costs like 99 cents each or something. But anyway..

I tapped my Coastal Scents crease brush into the green a few times then the black a few times and applied all over the lid, but concentrated on the contour part and stayed away from my upper lashline.

I did the same thing here but added another layer

Line and Highlight. I used Milani ‘Almondine’ for a highlight.

The only thing about mattes is that they can be harder to blend, so I would just strategically place my brush when applying the shadows since I know it might be hard to blend later.

The finished product!

I love it!

Plastic Bag holder from Ikea. Some girl passed by the plastic bag holders and looked at them and said “What the heck is that for?” and rolled her eyes. It’s something everyone needs they just don’t realize it yet. [That's an original Dyno in the background].

Toothbrush holder from Ikea. It’s so cute! I share the bathroom with a dude and one of these days the sink counter top will be filled with girly stuff and he will get scared.

New computer! Well, semi new. It was a hand-me-down from my dad cuz he’s always looking to upgrade his electronics. It’s a huge step up from my old piece o’crap laptop. [for those who are nosy and are gonna enlarge that picture, if you look carefully there's a shoutout to xppinkx haha]

And now for makeup things…EOTD!

I did this look to submit to Temptalia’s smokey eye challenge. It was inspired by one of her looks, but I only used drugstore products. I love Temptalia! She’s very skilled at what she does, creative with her color combinations and presents it all in a professional aesthetic manner. She’s amazing!

ugly pics of me and Individual Collective Gallery Opening!

This is the look I did for the gallery opening. It turned out aright I guess. I used the lighter color of the Riotous L’oreal HIP duo and a grey shadow to contour. It looks pretty similar to my riotous look though. I’m not at home so I didn’t have access to my watermark and had to make a new one [not that anyone cares].

Riotus..Riotous..I forget how to spell it! EOTD!

I also used my NYX in lime green to help blend the dark and light green. I applied the HIP shadows with mixing medium.

I’m looking forward to washing my face later on because today was HOT and I feel so gross. Pardon me while I try to find something interesting to blog about…


Rimmel Green Smoky

rimmel I used the Rimmel SpecialEyes in Green Go. I honestly am not too fond of this pallette, but it was the only one I brought with me! And I bought it when I didn’t know that much about makeup. It has a chunky consistency, and it’s not very well pigmented. I had to layer it on to get a good effect, and then it wouldn’t photograph well! But I’ll show you the pictures anyway…

This is what I mean by it won’t photograph well…

I got frustrated. And to add to that, my brother’s camera has trouble focusing!

Here’s an ok picture

Well, that’s my look number 2 [28 more to go!]. I think, it can only get better from here. Haha
