Brown & Red EOTD
Very frustrated right now :/ As I've mentioned every two seconds for the last few months, I'm moving to Texas. We were supposed to start the drive down tomorrow, but the weather is supposed to be so terrible that driving would be really dangerous. We're going to leave on Friday instead now, and get there Saturday. It's not that big a deal, except that Friday is my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend, and I was really excited to see him. At least we will get to have Valentine's Day together! It will be the third Valentine's Day since we started dating, but the first one we'll get to spend together. Long distance relationships are fucking difficult- we've been long distance for the last year. But if anyone ever tells you that long distance never works out, they're a big fat liar :)
Anyway, here is a look I did last week that I really loved. I used Hi-Fi's High Impact Shadow Fix over Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer. On my lid is Darling Girl's "Oracle", the crease is Hi-Fi's "Lords of Salem", and the highlight is Hi-Fi's "Hail Ceasar" (always showing up so dark in the pictures, gah). I also used a Collection 2000 gold glitter liner. I don't remember what lip products I used.
My eyebrows do not actually look that awkward...
And here is a picture of what my shadows looked like approximately 12 hours later, after a 4 hour shift at work where the A/C is broken and the building is always at least 80-
The High Impact Shadow Fix is so amazing. Someday I will do a comparison post with Pixie Epoxy, but for me it's like this: I use PE when I'm using more sparkly shadows with a more complex look. I find the HISF makes it harder for me to blend, but the fact that it lasts so long makes it as worthy as PE for me. I just use it for simpler looks, or when I need my shadows to last for a long time.
Before I go, I thought I'd add that I'm going to rejoin Twitter. I miss chatting with everyone, and I know it will be really nice to have your company since I will be away from my friends, family, kitties and puppy :3 So if you have a Twitter, leave your username in the comments so I can find you after I make a new ones.

Love this look on you! The crease color is awesome! I think your eyebrows look great, not awkward! And have a safe drive to Texas!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty look!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the bad weather is supposed to hit tonight here in Oklahoma. I'm not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. :-/ I hope you guys make it to TX safe and sound! :)

Damn right! My sister had a relationship that lasted 4 years and he lived in another state! It worked really well, but they unfortunately parted after she finished college... Still, I believe that distance does in no way mean a relationship is doomed!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you'll spend valentines with you bf! ^^
Your make-up looks cute! I loke your cheeks, you always look so healthy and cute!
Aw, yay for happy endings for you and your BF! :D I hope your move goes well, Heather!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 accounts on tweeter now, but for general chatting and messing around, you can add me as @BeccasOnTweeter :) Can't wait to @ you again!! ^___^
Ah, Heather we will both be Texans :) You look great as usual :)
ReplyDeleteThe crease colour is gorgeous. I think it's time for me to make a Hi-Fi order.

It sucks when plans don't go as planned :( but yeah at least you'll have Valentines day :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the gold liner you used!
My twitter is @HovercatMittens but I'm rarely on anymore because of my blog reading and email checking and facebooking lol. Interwebs! We need less of thee!
Stupid weather, eh? It's much better to be safe than sorry, though. I hope you have a good trip. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think if I've seen outright comparisons of PE and HISF, side by side. I don't think I have, and definitely not an end of the day, PE on one eye and HISF on the other eye comparison.
I'm @shatteredshards on Twitter, if you stumble back there. I left for awhile myself, went back last fall, I think.
Oh no, I'm so sorry your trip got delayed! Here's to a safe trip and a fantastic reunion with your boyfriend. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the comparison post! This is a fantastic look - I love how people incorporate the color burgundy. I can never pull it off myself lol
What a gorgeous color combination!!
ReplyDeleteTotally stinks that your trip is delayed due to rotten weather...but the weather is truly terrible, and is messing with things. Makes me glad that it's a La Nina year, here in the PNW we just have chilly and damp. Perfect conditions for a bumper crop of moss :D
I'm on twitter @sparklecrackHQ
Love this combo, glitter rocks haha
ReplyDeleteI'm @DianaRietveld at Twitter, see you there hon!
very pretty look :) perfect for a night out ^ ^
ReplyDeleteLove Lords of Salem! Your eyebrows are perfect :) and I hope the move goes well, at least youll be closer to your guy right? .x
ReplyDeleteHave a safe drive to Texas!
ReplyDeleteThe look is amazing,especially the crease color goes sooo well with your eyes
I looove the red brown and gold combo! And congrats on making your LDR work!
ReplyDeleteReally love this look! That primer sounds amazing. Also, so happy for your long distance relationship! :) Good to know you guys have hung in there.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. This suits you well! <3
ReplyDeleteLoooove the lid colour!
ReplyDeleteOMFG, I love this look! So, so lovely! I haven't tried HISF yet - I haven't gotten comfortable with Pixie Epoxy yet, so I figured I should keep it simple. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You manage a long distant relationship in a hole year? It is so difficult to have but worth it when you are together, I hope you can stand out. And I also want to tell you that you have won an award, see more about it here - http://glyttensbeauty.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-award.html
ReplyDeleteLords of Salem looks beautiful! I'm sorry you couldn't spend your anniversary with your boyfriend, hope you can celebrate it with im soon :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice eyes! I need to figure out a way to make minerals last longer on me because right now that's the biggest thing keeping me from using them more. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm just Makeupfancy on Twitter; I don't use it often but feel free to add me :)
Awww I'm sorry about you missing your 2 year anniversary with your boyfriend. Seeing some of my friends in long distance relationships really makes me cherish the fact that I have the ability to see my bf that often!
ReplyDeleteI'm Maimaimaiii on twitter :)
