EOTD inspired by prettybottles

I did this look a few days ago, and it was inspired by something Elizabeth from prettybottles did. It ended up looking nothing like it, as most things I imitate turn out, but I like it. It's very sunset-y.

2 simple LOTDs

Hey there, I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much lately. As of this last Thursday, I have started my 11+ days in a row of work. I did get someone to take my shift this Tuesday so I could have a day off, though. I don't even both wearing makeup some days if I know I'm just going to be working, so I haven't done many looks lately. My posting will probably be pretty sparse over the next week. Here's a really simple look I did yesterday. I didn't use mascara because my Falsies and Extra Collagen ones make my lashes so huge, they hit my glasses frame and its really annoying. I feel like my eyes look manly without mascara, lol. Uncharted, by Meow (inner corner) Intimate, by Sassy Minerals (outer corner) S.S. Anne, by Shiro (crease) Moondance, by Stardust (highlight) See what I mean about manly eyes? :P I wish Intimate showed up better in these pictures. It is actually a beautiful, very pink toned orange. I'm going to buy a full size with my next Sassy order, its only $4.25! Today I wanted to do a smokey eye with color. I wish I had used a hot pink instead though, I feel like the pink I used looks kind of "dirty" or "muddy" this way, know what I mean? Love Affair & Dear Mom by Glamour Doll (mixed together on lid) Midnight Train, by Sassy (crease) L'Oreal HiP crayon in Intricate (liner) Maybelline Falsies Mascara Coraline's Kiss lipstick by Morgana Yeah, a goofy face... get over it, it's the only one I've ever done since I started this blog. I like it because it really shows off the gorgeous Coraline's Kiss. So, I started playing Silent Hill: Shatter Memories on the Wii. Apparently it's the same story as the very first one, but updated and modified slightly. It's fun as hell, and creepy as hell too. I think it's the first game I've ever played that's not rated E, lol. Can anyone recommend me some more games like this? Horror-survival type is what it is, I guess. My giveaway ends tomorrow, I'll post the winners Monday morning.

Glamour Doll Review

I finally decided to go ahead and order from Glamour Doll, since I wanted to try a new company. I had never been too interested in ordering, as many of their colors are just micas with a base (these are clearly marked as such, so I have no problem with that obviously). I placed a small order of 6 eyeshadow samples and 1 mini sized lip gloss. I couldn't tell you exactly how long it took me to receive my products, but somewhere around a week and a half, so pretty standard. I did think it was odd that the gloss is shipped separately from the shadows. It arrived the day after I got my shadow samples. Samples were $1.50, and the gloss was $4. I got 2 free eyeshadow samples with my order. All the shadows I got were original GD formulas. From left to right: Hello Brooklyn, Ahoy Sailor!, Island Chic, Oddity, Phyrra, Dear Mom, Love Affair, Brown Eyed Girl Hello Brooklyn is swatched over Pixie Epoxy on the bottom half, because it's a high glitter color. Sadly, the pictures didn't show all the pretty blue glitter that's apparent when over PE.I'm feeling pretty "meh" about the first four colors. Ahoy Sailor! is a lovely matte, but it applies pretty patchy. That being said, I LOVE Phyrra (it has a gorgeous blue iridescence that doesn't show up much in the photos), Dear Mom, and Love Affair. Vee sure knows how to make pinks! The gloss I got was Posh Life- it does indeed smell like the description says, sugared strawberries. It's very sheer, I can't see any of the color at all when I wear it. I think the price was too much, since a Fyrinnae mini lip lustre is the same size, but is only $2.50 and far superior IMO. My Glamour Doll order was ok, but nothing to get too excited about. If I order again, I'll skip the glosses and just try some more shadows. What do you think about Glamour Doll?

Summer/Ocean LOTD

I've been seeing so many gorgeous summery, oceany looks lately that I decided to do one as well. This is probably my favorite look so far! I feel like everything I've tried in the last couple weeks has turned out fabulous; I think I'm really improving with my makeup application. What I used: UDPP Italian Ice, by Aromaleigh (inner lid) Graffiti, by Urban Decay (center lid) Bang-Up, by Concrete Minerals (outer lid) Abyss, by Detrivore (teeny bit in outer corners) some silver L'Oreal color in crease Marigold, by Aromaleigh (highlight) Covergirl Liquiline blast eyeliners on lower lid Rimmel liner on waterline Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara Hard Candy Sheer Envy face primer Revlon PhotoReady translucent finishing powder Physician's Formula Rx Undereye concealer Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in Coral Shimmer Glamour Doll glamour gloss in Posh Life Tart blush by Sassy Minerals The pictures don't do it justice, it was so gorgeous in person. Can I say that I am in LOVE with the Covergirl liquiline blast eyeliners? They glide on so perfectly, and these two colors are awesome. I hope they come out with a ton of cool new colors. Would you guys be interested in Etsy bath/body reviews? Ever since Haus of Gloi frenzy started, I've been really interested in purchasing my body products on Etsy. I just got my order yesterday from One Hand Washes the Other, and I'll do a review if anyone is interested. There are other bath and body companies I plan on ordering from as well, so please let me know if this is something you would like to see on my blog! Happy Saturday ladies!
