Intense Eye Shadow and Bun

Today my poor puppy had to go to the dentist. :( But he is ok, just very moopy. :) I'm hoping he will feel his normal cheerful self tomorrow. :)

I decided to use an eye shadow that I recently discovered unpacking my vanity box (from the move... A year ago). :)
I tried to keep things somewhat muted because my outfit was very "workout" attire. ;)
Also I have figured out I put too much dark shadow on my brushes upon first stroke. :). I have too much to begin with so my "blending" is more like rubbing off the excess. I am trying to calm it down.

Also, I went to target!! Yay! And I bought some new products to try. Isn't it sad that I already know what I want to buy next? :) afterwards I visited Bath and Body Works! Their fall candles are absolutely lovely. My house will smell delicious this fall without me baking a whole lot (not that I will not be). :) most of my Target purchases I heard about from Beauty Department's videos. LOVE THEM! I also am trying to learn a lot. :)

Lastly, I watched a video on sock buns per a friend's recommendation. :) they were so easy! I will try to like them here:

I really think the second video is more for me. When I tried to roll the sock down my hair, it did not stay very well. And I had to roll it pretty tightly into my head to make the strands stay in the roll. The second video uses more bobby pins, but it stayed better for my hair type. :)

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Bronzed eye

Going out to eat sushi!! Yay! I'm wanting fall to come as quickly as possible, so I am wearing my "fall" outfit. It just makes me think of pumpkins and falling leaves. :) BTW have y'all gone to bath and body works? They have some delicious scents in candles, hand soaps, and lotions. Yum! Creamy pumpkins, salted caramel, and coffee!! Yum! Newho I'm in the mood for fall! ;) I used the NAked palette for this look.

P.s. I was running a bit late so I had to take pics in the car. 😜

"Fashion" Look

Recently I purchased Too Faced Romantic palette. I tried the various looks, some looking ok, some not. But today I tried it the third look again. When I bought my palette, One of the shadows was completely busted. :( so I managed to put it into a little sample container I had. That particular shadow does not go on well without adding a bit of water. It's very interesting. After wearing the shadow for a couple of hours, my eyes started to itch. :/ maybe I should have put on the primer first, but I was not planning on wearing it for long. Oh well. I shall try again another time. :)




Brow bone: Bouquet Toss
Lid: Honeymoon
Crease: Ever After
Lash line: Creep from the Naked Palette.

This photo is from when I first bought the palette and was trying the different looks. :)

Naked Palette Look 2

I love the Naked palette by Urban decay!! Love it!! Newho. I wanted something simple today because it's hot, and my eye lids need a break from being "makeup-ed". :)




Brown bone and Lid: Sin
Inner Lid: Sidecar
Crease: Toasted
Upper lash line: Hustle
See very simple. And I think these are my top favorite colors from the palette. :)
P.S. these HDR pics show my freckles a lot! Dang it!

Smokey eye attempt

Eyes: all from the Naked palette by urban decay
Brow bone: Virgin topped with Sin
Lids: Smog
Crease: Hustle

Water line: Creep
Blush: Pink Tourmaline by bareMinerals
Lips: Acapulco by Buxom topped with Sugar Frosting Lip Butter (by Relvon Colorburst)








I have a hard time smiling because I usually look silly. :)

Make up with Glasses

I watched this tutorial on makeup when wearing glasses. I love this girl's videos and her posts because she uses products that I can go get without feeling guilty or breaking the bank (and then go get some more products :).

The main point I toke away from the video is to highlight underneath the eye. Almost to the extreme. I used my Well Rested by Bare Minerals, but I spread it almost in an enlarged triangle from my tear duct to the bottom of my brow bone and down. She is right when she talks about the glasses put shadows around the under eye and with me not getting a ton of sleep, I feel like my shadows are even more "shadowy". :) so when I'm working and fatigued, I will probably incorporate this into my make up routine just to keep myself from looking exhausted (then usually I don't feel as exhausted... Usually).




Eyes:
Brow line: Virgin in Naked palette
Lids: Mixologist in Top Shelf palette by bareMinerals
Crease (and outwards): Hustle in Naked palette by Urban Decay
Under eyes: Well Rested by bareMinerals
Blush: a sample I don't know the name of by bareMinerals (sorry)
Lips: Berry Smoothie by Revlon Colorbust Lip Butter (love it. Perfect for girls who don't like lipstick!h








P.S. taking pics on the iPhone turns out a lot better when HDR is on. You can see the different here. :)

Naked palette Look 1

I recently purchased the naked palette. :) Originally I had planned on buying the new Smokey palette by Urban Decay; however, the more I looked at it the more I realized, I could barely do a smokey eye! And my confidence in wearing dark colors was lacking. So I got the Naked palette by Urban Decay instead in order to build up to my "darker side". :)

Brow line: Virgin
Lid: Sin
Crease: Toasted
Liners (only lower lid): Loreal's Infallable pencil liner in Brown

Please excuse the pics. I'm working on better picture taking abilities. I'll retake this pic when I can. :)

Going to Work Look 1

Here I used the "Day" Look from Too Faced Romantic Palette. Because I was on my way to work, I kept things simple and quick (aka I didn't take a ton of time) :).



Brow line: Soulmates
Lid: I Do
Lid- V: Un-Veil
Lips: Revlon's Colorburst lip butter in Sugar Frosting

I should probably mention I was getting a cold so some of the coloring is off. Oh well. A girl at work said my eyes popped!
