Purple FOTD March 2, 2009

I hope I don’t have another post titled Purple FOTD..I’m not so creative when it comes to blog titles haha.

I used the same purple elf eyeshadow quad in “silver lining” that I used on Christmas except this time I applied a neutral colored shadow all over the lid before applying the other colors so it would be toned down for daytime.

On another note, Lent is upon us and for those who are not familiar with lent it is a period of 40 days and 40 nights [yeah, like that movie with Josh Hartnett!] where you give something up that you normally do or have everyday [for example, coffee for some people]. I’m not what you would call religious, I just participate in Lent because I’m weird and I think it’s fun to test my willpower haha. For Lent this year I gave up Youtube and reading beauty blogs because I noticed that I go on Youtube and read beauty blogs practically every day when I should be doing homework or something more productive. So it sucks because I can’t keep up on all your guys’ blogs and stuff. but I know the posts are still gonna be there when I get back and I allowed myself to blog which is a good thing because I need to try to update this thing regularly instead of randomly. So, did you give up anything for Lent?

Viz-a-violet July 17, 2008

Since I posted an embarrassing picture of myself below, I decided to post a cuter pic to make up for it!

I used MAC viz-a-violet on the lid and lower outer lashline, The Body Shop shimmercubes purple silk on the crease, Isadora mineral eyeshadow in tourmaline [it's shimmery light blue] on the lid close to the lashline and on bottom inner lashline. I lined the waterline with Revlon Colorstay and lined the top with a navy blue liner.

Flamboyant Indeed June 29, 2008

I like the look I did today! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I used the L’oreal H.I.P “flamboyant” duo. I can’t help but think about the LA Lakers when I see this color combo. They were applied dry and I used my trusty Rimmel Underground liquid liner in case you were wondering.

and noww, pictures of Paris! yay!

Purple Rain June 20, 2008

I wanted to do a more vibrant eye look because I realize a lot of my looks get washed out by the camera.

Products used:
Maybelline Expertwear in lux lilac

Everyday Minerals Photo Album blush

TBS shimmer cubes in Ruby

Estee Lauder Palette

I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion then I used the maybelline on the inner lid wet [used with a mixing medium], photo album wet on outer lid, and the shimmer cube on the outer V and crease. Photo album is a blush, but on the EM site they said it would make for a good eyeshadow too, the only thing is it’s sorda pink-y since it’s a blush so I ended up covering up the Photo Album with more shimmercube. I used a matte cream color from a random Estee Lauder Palette that I have. The reason why there’s so much pan is because that was the only only eyeshadow I used throughout high school and I applied it with my fingers!

I didn’t line my upper lashline today just to change it up a bit, but I did tightline the upper waterline [the area directly opposite of the lower waterline...sorry I don't know if I'm explaining this well! haha]. I used Revlon Colorstay automatic eyeliner, which I don’t necessarily recommend because it’s really pigmented BUT it smudges like crazy on me. Other people seem to have good luck with it though. I finished the look off with a bit of Photo Album on my cheeks.
