Fresh Cut Flowers

Just a purple look from yesterday. For some reason, photographing purples never works well for me. This was really bright, but came washed out in all of the photos that I took. There was MUFE 92 in this look which is really really bright.







And just because I liked the stripes:

Red and Black

Well last night was a very good night. I went to a bar that I know didn't make mojitos, but I stopped by the nearby Safeway just to pick up some mint (just in case). Luckily the bartender was open to making us mojitos. She didn't know how, but she made a really nice crack at it for a beginner. :)

The look of the night featured red and black with lots of glittery sparkly things.
These are red leggings with black lace leggings on top.

Quick Update

Like I said last time, it's just that time of year when everything is crazy with wrapping everything up.
Never the less, I had a chance to go to MAC and get Opulash. It's AMAZING. I have tiny little stumps of lashes and this really colors them and lengthens them. I also like how quickly this dries unlike other MAC mascaras. I hear that people compare it to DiorShow, but since I don't use products by Dior I don't know.

I also picked up Cherry Electric SuperGlass. *LOVE*
Here is a swatch of a custom color (Magenta lip liner, Impassioned Lipstick, Frozen White Pigment).

With Glimmer Glass:


The one drawback to this is the staying power of the glitter. Staying power is a good thing, but something about this seemed to be a little stronger than other glittery products (Dazzleglass) that I've used.

I also love the thought of shiny glassy looking black lips so I worked on making a lip gloss. Then I started using that with my black lipstick and picked up the white Luster Glass. I'm planning on wearing this out tomorrow night.

Crystal Chrome Yellow

It's been a while and I have to keep this brief because I have 4 papers due within a 3 day stretch. I probably won't update again until finals are over.








Oh and I found a turkey on my street on the way to the grocery store.

Go figure

Spring Color

I can't believe that spring break is almost over! Well it's a good thing that a friend has a b-day at the end of it or else I would have felt cheated. These colors are mostly from the Spring Color Forecast collections (Coral and Bronze) with some extras thrown in. I just got the perfect base for pinup and Classic Hollywood glam looks for darker skin tones from Urban Decay and wanted to give it a spin.

I got the inspiration for this look from Specktra's x0besoz.







And just to be obnoxious... sunglasses indoors.



Also here is a plug for my friend's new art fashion blog. She will post a new entry every Sunday. Her regular website is listed under the ABOUT section. I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do!

Luck 'o' the Irish

Oy, St.Patty's Day is quickly approaching, but as I guessed correctly, I will be working that day. I went out to the bar tonight with some friends and we ran into the Guinness girls and got free hats, beads, and discounts on drinks. :D
Do trust me, the green was really pretty and bright IRL (I used Old Gold and we all know this is not a color for the faint of heart). It's just one of those colors that is incredibly difficult to photograph. I think that I should just stick to red eyeshadow and nude lips.





Outfit of the night:


Going to use my coupon.


Here's to wishing everyone A safe and happy St. Patrick's Day.
I'll just finish up by sharing this even though it's about a German legend...

Fast update

Wow, it's been almost a month. Things have been very busy which is good. I'm very excited about all of the projects/assignments that I've been working on. Unfortunately that means that things have been piling up makeup wise, and I have to do a photo dump after I've already forgotten all of the things that were used. So this one is from about a week and a half ago (sushi night).




I aslo have some swatches of colors that reminded me of spring so... have at it :)






This one was done with Lollipop Loving. I remember that much.



Other than that, I'm planning on getting my hair dyed again soon. I can't wait. I'll either go full on purple or stick to the red violet.
