Duochrome Golds

Tonight I went ahead and used some oldies but goodies.
The eyes looked so much better irl, but I only got pictures after the good lighting was gone hence the flash.
I found that Moonlight Night (from Tartan Tale) + Old Gold make an amazing combo. I need to play around with these two colors.
The nails are also one of those things that looks better in real life. I used duochromes that have the same back color (green). One is pink and green (from Sally Hansen), another is silver-purple and green (OPI Katy Perry), and the other is gold and green (Chanel Peridot). There is black laced throughout the marble.

More Summer Blues

This is a look that I wore on Sunday to a BBQ. It's very similar to the last look that I did except it incorporates more colors into the face. I have some pinks on the cheeks (instead of bronze) and teals and blues on the lower lash line. The scarf was actually really useful because it started to rain. Since it's a long scarf, I just made a makeshift hood and was able to keep dry that way. :)

Delft Blue

So I know it's been forever since I last posted, but life got very busy very quickly. Now that things have calmed down, I had the chance to get my brows done and do my makeup again. :D

The most exciting thing about this look is really the nails. I picked up a dark teal from Essie and one of the mini OPI polishes in teal. Put in a sprinkle of reflects teal and you've got a nice combo going. I decided to keep most of the other things toned down, but I will be looking at Essie again!

This look was inspired by Delft Blue. I picked up the scarf in Berlin last summer because I really like the blue over white. I mean, sure Delft is in the Netherlands, but oh well. We can mix and match right?

Got the Blues Again

So today I was going out to dinner with my friends so I decided to do something fun. I think this also saves me from the Peacocky collection! :)

Love Lace Smoked Blues

The Love Lace Collection last year was one of my favorites last year and I recently got a pair of shoes that are beige covered in black lace. Add a bit of Reflects Transparent Teal and you're good to go.







I notice that I had furrowed brow lines in my foundation. I hate it when that happens.

Evergreen Eyes on Her Blushing Cheek

I wanted to make a post that shows the color of Her Blushing Cheek and of Moonlight Water.


As we all know, glitter show up best IRL, and it tends to show up as purple and pink flecks on the camera which doesn't look good when paired with green. The hightlight color is a mix of Vanilla pigment and Quick Frost from Rushmetal. It's a greenish white with what appears to be little transparent teal flecks in it (possibly reflects gold, but I'm not sure). Next time I will try a more exciting shape as I've gotten in the habit of doing a very basic eye.

A Tartan Tale Teals

Today I went to swap out The Family Crest for Moonlight Night.

Here are some comparison swatches to show that the pigments available in this collection tend to be teal and not straight up green. The Beauties Play It Cool eyeshadow kit has a kelly green in it that reminded me a lot of Urban Decay's Grass. Remember that if you don't have Teal pigment yet, you can get it in one of the lash kits that comes out with this collection. All swatches are over Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Teal Obsession

Finally, a chance to wear my beloved blue-greens.

Tropical Smoke

Last night I went to a friend's birthday party/house warming. It was a nice affair complete with a wide array of people to talk to about a wide range of subjects and her nice home made food :D I decided to use some of the things from TKB that she gave me.





I didn't get more shots because my battery was low and I couldn't find the charger.

To the Beach Blues

So I'm only adding these swatches because Wangie asked me to (I was only planning on sharing them in a locked space before). This is a teal look I made using some of the new products from Mac's To the Beach collection, namely Float on By and Flurry of Fun (Uh-Maize-Ing color). I also used a solid blue (Royal Wink) and Black with this look. This reminds me a lot of my expectations from Blast 'O' Blue (C-shock).







Here I was earlier in the day w/o Royal Wink.



I really had a lot of fun with this, but I don't plan on me posting things like this too often.

Atlantic Blue Glitter

Yesterday I decided to use some of the new goodies that I got from the Color Pop collection. I love Atlantic Blue and have been lemming after it for quite some time now. As I was working on it, I thought it looked a lot like Style Black and was glad that I didn't buy Blue Flame from that one.
I went to a bar later on that night and when I walked in the door the bartender said she like the look. :)
