Pink Panther goes to Hollywood!

I've been toying with the idea of creating and naming a look like this. I love pinks and purples (especially together), and I was watching something the other day and the pink panther song came on. So I decided to dig through my stuff and come with a look and name it after the pink panther. I threw in some sparkles and a bit of purple to glam it up a bit. The sparkles represent the jewels he's always lookin for, and the purple is because sometimes in the drawings his outline looks a bit purpleish. Hence I came up with the name *Pink Panther goes to Hollywood*! Let me know what you guys think and I hope you enjoy!

*See this link for code for the 120 palette
I started off with my Urban Decay Primer Potion (as usual). I started off this look by applying Urban Decay's cream shadow in Sphynx on my lid . Sphynx is a light baby pink with loads of sparkle and shimmer. I applied 3 layers (allowing it to dry between each layer) to build up to a nice opaque pink shimmer color. I then took the color I2 (a matte bright pink) from my 120 pallete and applied it to my a crease and blended up. I then took the color I-1 (a darker shimmery pink) and applied it to my deep crease without blending up much. I wanted the matte brighter pink to still be seen quite a bit above the deep crease. I then took a mix of J6 and J10 (2 beautiful purples) and created a really high cut crease, I then brought it around to meet the outer corner of my eye. I  carried this color all the way around to meet my inner corner as well. Basically creating an outline of the entire pink parts of the eye. I then continue with the same colors and smudged them into my lower lash line and connected the purple on the bottom with the purples on the top. I did not want to blend any of the purple into the pink much because I wanted a stark cut between colors. I then added L7 (a creamy white) as a highlight under my brow. I then took my gel liner and lined my upper lash line only, winging it out just a tiny bit. Lastly, curled my lashes, added mascara and filled in my brows.

I moved on to my face and applied my elf primer using my hands and then my foundation as well. I then applied my blush and my finishing powder. To complete my look I applied my lipstick and gloss.

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.

neon orange nail polish! NYC review

Ok this is just a short review of NYC Longwear nail enamel. It is called Times Square Tangerine Creme #112. This color is bright orange/coral color. It is a creme nail polish and goes on smoothly and I acheived opaqueness within 2 coats. I also finished it with a clear top coat. The finish result is just beautiful. I love bright colors and this was a wonderful addition to my collection. I also think this would be a great fall color, despite it's bright color. It would be great paired with some darker brick reds or dark oranges to brighten up an outfit for this fall. I am completely impressed with NYC's nail polish, this one was 98 cents and it's perfect in my opinion. I hate spending a ton of money on nail polishes because it always goes bad before I ever get to finish them. So there ya go, check it out--it's a beautiful color!

Rainbow Sherbert! (and a preview of Freaky Friday- my new weekly look!)

So I wore this look to work yesterday and one of my coworkers told me that it reminded them of Rainbow Sherbert..so that's the name of the look! Hope you enjoy! Also, continue to the end of this post to see a preview and explanation of the new weekly look I'm starting!

I started off with my Urban Decay Primer Potion, then I applied a white face cream (the kind for halloween) as my white base and let it dry for a few seconds. I then packed my pink eyeshadow to the inner half of my eyelid, and my blue to the outer half of my lid. I blended them lightly using a back and forth motion (be VERY light with this).in the middle to be sure there wasn't a harsh line in the middle. It turned into a nice purple color. I then took my purple eyeshadow and added it to my crease, being sure to blend it nicely and create the shape that I wanted. I applied my white highlight color then blended it with the purple, adding more purple and continuing to blend as needed. Lastly, I added a light blue shimmer from my Physician's formula palette to my tear duct to open up my eyes. I then filled in my brows and added my gel liner to my lower water line and underneath the lash line on the outer 3rd of my eye. To finish my eye-- I added a couple coats of my mascara.

I then moved onto my face. I started off with my primer, then I applied my foundation. This time I decided to apply it with a wet sponge. I noticed that my brand of foundation tends to dry REALLY quickly, so I thought maybe applying it wet would help it blend out and not set before I had then chance to really blend it. I did notice that it helped, but I don't think I got quite as good of coverage as I normally do, but it did blend a lot easier. I then moved on to applying my blush. I started on the apples of my cheeks and blended it up towards my temples. I didn't do any highlighting or contouring (was in a bit of a hurry--I even forgot my setting powder!). I then sprayed my face makeup with Urban Decay's setting spray. And last I applied my lipstick straight from the tube. I don't like using the setting spray after my lipstick because it makes it feel a bit goopey, so I always I apply my lipstick last.

 FREAKY FRIDAY- My new weekly look!

Also wanted to let everyone know that I'm starting a new weekly look! It's called Freaky Friday! So every Friday I'm going to be doing a look that is a bit less wearable then my other looks. It might be a little bit more colorful or more dark, but it'll definitely be a bit freaky! So look for that starting next week. Here's a preview of what my first look will incorporate:

Party at Midnight!

Was bored so I did a new eye look today. You'll have to forgive me, I didn't do full face makeup. My family has been sick, so I've been busy taking care of everyone. But I still wanted to do a new eye look at least! It's a dark yet sparkly look. Would be great for going out at night, or if you're a bit daring (like myself) for a daytime look too! Here ya go:

I didn't even use a primer today (Bad bad bad..haha). I did start off by using Urban Decay's cream eyeshadow in Delinquent as a base. Over that, I applied Urban Decay's loose pigment in Rockstar. It's a purple pigment in a black base with lots of sparklies! It's a beautiful color and this is my first time using it! Anyway I applied Rockstar to my lower lid up to the crease. In the crease, I used a dark teal color from my Physician's formula Palette (bottom color). It didn't blend very nicely (should have used a primer!!) but I got the general gyst of the look! I then applied a white matte for my highlight under my brow. I used Maybelline's gel liner in black to line my lower waterline and under my lash line. To finish the look off I used some black mascara from NYC.

I didn't do anything to my face except a primer to even out my skin a bit, and filled in my brows. On my lips I just used a lip gloss from L.A. Colors.

Rainbow Bright!

I have a bright colorful look today! I've been wanting something fun and funky to wear before summer comes to an end. I may be brave and attempt to wear this look tomorrow to work. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow..lol. But in the mean time, here are some pics followed by a description and a list of everything I used.

I started off with Elf's Eyelid primer. I applied that to my lid and all the way over my eyebrows (helps the powder stay on longer when I fill in my brows). I then started on my lid colors. I grabbed the lightest green shimmer on my Physician's Formula Palette (Pop Green eyes). and applied it to the inner 3rd of my eyelid. I then grabbed my pink eyeshadow from the Island Sunset Duo from NYC and placed it on the middle third of my eyelid. On the Outer 3rd of my eyelid, I used Urban Decay's Electric matte eyeshadow. I blended each color into the next and continued building to get the desired effect and brightness that I wanted. I then went to work on my crease color. I grabbed a mix of the 2 purples in the Physician's formula palette. They aren't the greatest purples and they come off looking a bid dark and muddy on my eyes so I grabbed the lightest color at the top (a white with green duo chrome) and applied a tiny bit over the purple to tone it down a bit and it actually takes away from the muddiness a bit. Although  sadly, I wish I had a nice matte purple that wasn't crappy. All of my purples either look muddy (I think they're too red) or they aren't pigmented enough for my liking *boo*. But enough of the mini rant, I then grabbed the lightest color again and added it under my brow for a nice highlight. After that I grabbed a bit of the 3 original lid colors and placed them on my lower lash line, in the same order as they were on the lid, so green under green, pink under pink, and blue under blue. Finally I added some black eyeliner to my water line and some mascara to the lashes to complete my eye look.

Because I was being lazy yesterday, I only added a bit of translucent powder to my face, filled in my brows and threw on some lipstick and gloss to my lips. I didn't bother with foundation or blush at all.

blueberry frosting!

Got a new look for you today, it's called Blueberry Frosting! Its a beautiful frosty light blue on the lid and a darker teal blue in the crease, and a white with green duo chrome as a highlight. I used the Physician's Formula palette for the "green eyes" for this tutorial today. So here's all the complete pics and what I did and used:

I started off with Elf's eyelid primer potion (I save my Urban Decay for when I'm going out).  I then used my my Elf concealer brush from the studio line to pack the lightest blue color (4th one down) onto the lid. I then took a crease brush and applied the darker teal color (under the light blue, 5th color down) into the crease. I had to keep adding more to the color to get the desired color payoff and just continued to blend. I made sure the lid color and the crease color blended nicely together . I then added the white (with green duo chrome) from the top of the palette as my highlight color on my brow bone. I then took a dark brown eyeshadow color from my NYX (champagne and Caviar) palette, and filled in my brows. Next, I applied black eyeliner to my waterline and 1 coat of black mascara to my upper lashes only (anything on the lower lashes smudges almost immediately). To finish off the eyes, I took the lightest color from the Physicians formula (top color) and applied it to the inner corner/tear duct area of my eyes.

I then applied my foundation using my fingers, making sure to get nice even coverage. Finally I took my blush/bronzer duo and contoured my cheeks and applied blush to the apples and swept it up to my temples. My last step was to apply my lipstick.
