grape madness!

This look was inspired by xsparkage's video on youtube. I absolutely loved the look and did my own spin on it. And I love the way it turned out. It reminded me on neon green and purple grapes! So I recreated it this morning before work and got a ton of compliments on it! These pics were taken AFTER work, I was sitting in the car waiting for my mom to get out of a store. So keep in mind I was pretty tired in these pics, and the make up wasn't freshly applied (was applied around 9 a.m. and these pics were taken around 4:30 p.m.). But here ya go:

Here is the link to 120 palette code: 

I started of using Urban Decay's Primer Potion all over the lid and under the eye. I then started off applying colors D6 and C9 (a mix) to give it a bright color with just a tiny bit of shine. I packed that on the lid to get the brightness I wanted and made sure it was applied evenly. I then moved on to number F4 which is a bright blue and applied it to the crease, making sure to blend it slightly into the green so I don't have a harsh line. Above that I took L7 and used it as a highlight under the brow bone.I then lined my upper lash line with a pen style liquid liner then on the bottom waterline I used a black gel liner. On the lower lash line I used a bright purple, number J2, I used this wet to create an intense purple liner look. To finish off the eye look I applied mascara and filled in my brows with a matte brown eyeshadow.

To do my face, I started off with my Hard Candy face primer, followed by my Revlon Colorstay foundation. I applied both using my hands. After that I applied blush to the apples of my cheeks swept up towards my temple. I applied I tiny bit of concealer under my eyes and blended with my fingers. To finish off my face I applied my setting powder. It comes with this akward sponge on top, so I just dab it on my face then blend out with a fluffy face brush. And finally I added Elf's lip stain in Fashionista (without the gloss side) and Avon's lipstick in a twinkle pink.

pink limeade smoothie tutorial!

I have another new look for you all today. It's called Pink Limeade Smoothie. I did the entire look using the Physician's Formula Shimmer collection for "green eyes", that I reviewed in my last post. I got a lot of compliments on this look. Even one from my boss at work, she said, " I didn't notice before, but your eyeshadow looks nice! It really brings out the color of your eyes!". One of my customer's said, "Not too many people can pull of those colors, it looks amazing on you!" So I'm quite happy with the look and I hope you guys give it a try!  Also I want to add, I did this make up look at 9 this morning, and I didn't take these pictures til around 6 p.m. So with Urban Decay's primer potion underneath, these shadows last amazingly well, and it was 92 degrees here today!

Gothic Sunset!

Got a new look for you guys today! It's called Gothic Sunset! It's a black/pink look (sorry for the lack of colors until I get my new ones in from Urban Decay I'm stuck with a limited selection of colors to play with!) But it's still a pretty look, and one I would definitely wear out at night sometime. Also want to add, I didn't put any face makeup on, and I didn't do anything with my eyebrows, so excuse that hot mess everywhere else..lol) So anyway  without more blabbering, here are some pics, followed by the instructions:

pink and black eyemake up look

So I decided to mess around a little bit and create a fun look. I'm not sure where I would wear this look, but I do love it! Again, I apologize for the crappy camera. My birthday is at the end of october and I'm really hoping SOMEONE will buy me a nice digital camera..lol. But here are some pics first, then I will explain what I did and what products I used (at the very bottom):
