October Empties

It's that time again! I feel like I have a ton of stuff I used up this month. Most of the hair things were partially used already. The mascaras and eyeliner got dry - they weren't completely gone, just not usable anymore.

If you'd like to see the pictures a bit closer and see some of my thoughts on them, check out the album I made for empties on my Facebook page! 

Face of the Day - April 4

If you've been following my blog for a very long time, you may remember that this is very similar to looks I used to do pretty often a few years back. (I'm sure there's at least one post of a looks similar to this one) I still love it - I had just been really trying to try a lot of different looks! I've been wanting to do more of my very bright looks like I used to do almost daily again recently - maybe I'll stick with it, we'll see!

Face of the Day 12.2.11 - Trying something new

 

I started with a layer of NYX HD eye primer, then did a base with the purple eyeliner from the Physician's Formula trio for green eyes. I applied it with a brush from a Sephora set that I believe is meant to be a concealer brush. I blended the edges out with a stiffer brush from a Sonia Kashuk set.

I used the shadows from the Wet n Wild Lust palette. I used the middle shade on the left all over the lid with a large eyeshadow brush from the same Sephora set, then blended the bottom left shade into the crease with the large crease brush from Essence of Beauty. I used a combination of the two top shades to blend the crease into the browbone and in the inner corners with a fluffy blending brush from Sephora.

For liner, I used the black from the same trio the purple came from and the angled liner brush from Sephora on both the top and bottom lashlines.

I hadn't used it in awhile so I decided to try Revlon Lash Fantasy Total Definition mascara again.  Somehow I put the photos in backwards and didn't notice, so the one on the far right is bare lashes, the middle is just the primer, and the one on the left is with the mascara as well.

I used my L'Oreal True Match compact foundation, NYX concealer in a jar, and Revlon Colorstay pressed powder before I did the eye look. I applied the foundation with a round foam sponge, the concealer with a stiff blending brush from Sonia Kashuk, and the powder with the ELF Studio flat top brush.
After the eyes, I did the rest of my face products. I applied the Physician's Formula Happy Booster light bronzer with the ELF Studio powder brush, then used my Sonia Kashuk small duo fiber brush to apply Wet n Wild blush in Heather Silk.
Finally, I used Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in Airy Fairy.

If you want to see the photos larger, you should be able to click on them and view them that way. This is the first time I've done a post like this with a look, so I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it! (Too much/too little information, if the photos are arranged well, if I should do more like this or keep doing them like before, etc)

Playing around

I felt like playing around with my makeup tonight and because I liked how both eyes turned out I thought I'd share them (even if I do look crazy with two different eye looks at once).

I used the NYX HD primer, nude from Wet n Wild I <3 Matte palette, and L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara on both eyes.

The lipstick I used is Milani Rose Hip.

For the pink eye, it's just Makeup Forever #75 eyeshadow, Physician's Formula 2 in 1 eye booster in black on the upper lash line, and Rimmel white eyeliner on the waterline. Since I realized that the Milani lipstick is the same shade as the eyeshadow, I decided to also use the shadow as a blush to do a monochromatic look.

For the other eye, I used the blue and green from the Wet n Wild I <3 Matte palette. I really packed on the blue to get it as intense as possible, but the green was applied with a lighter hand. I used Milani Liquif'eye pencil in Aqua on the waterline. I used the Wet n Wild blush in Pearlescent Pink.

I got the mascara in the mail today from a giveaway L'Oreal had on their Facebook page earlier. This was my first time using it but I think I'm going to like it! Have you tried this mascara? What do you think of it?

Face of the Day - October 1st

I'm going to try to do a Face of the Day post most days this month and stop ignoring my blog! My hair is a new color for the third time this month (I get bored...) so if my eyebrows look different it's just because they're different in comparison to my hair color.

I honestly can't remember what I used on my face that day! I know I used Milani baked blush in Terra Sole and the Physician's Formula Happy Booster translucent powder on my cheeks, but I can't remember what I used as far as a foundation or powder, sorry!

Green Eyeshadow Look

I wasn’t wearing any makeup today since it was raining when I was leaving my apartment, but then in the evening I just felt like playing around. I came up with this look and I liked how it turned out so I figured I’d blog about it. I normally don’t do anything with my brows because 1) I’m lazy 2) I’m not convinced it looks sane, and 3) brow products of an appropriate color do not exist. Those things aside, please feel free to share your thoughts on my attempt at putting products in my brows.

I’m also trying a new way of putting the pictures together – let me know what you think!
