I'm so excited to do my first giveaway for you guys! I can't believe how many followers I have gotten, it means so much to me :) I'm also going to do a totally awesome giveaway of my favorite makeup goodies at the end of summer, so look forward to that too!
I know there have been quite a few Hidden Treasure giveaways, but I'm sure there are still people who haven't been able to get their hands on a bottle. I was lucky enough to find two bottles at a local Meijer, so there will be two winners!
I want to just go ahead and say this is open internationally, but honestly I'm not sure about the international postal system, I have never actually mailed anyone anything before. I'm sure you can mail polish to other countries, right? Someone fill me in here... please enter no matter where you are from! If for some reason I cannot send the polish to your country, I will make it up to you with other lovely gifts.
You must be a follower! To enter just leave a comment with your email, and something else too. A story about your life, a "hidden treasure" makeup item you've been searching stores to find, something you'd like to see on my blog, etc. Anything is fine! The giveaway will end on Sunday, the 20th, and I will announce the winners on Monday, the 21st. Good luck everyone!
Last night I went out for ice cream and wanted to throw something together really quick before I left. Blix's look from the other day was something that inspired me, and I wanted a really simple and soft look, so I borrowed from that. No open eye full face pics because they all look weird!
What I used:
Sugar, by Hi Fi (inner lid)
Funkytown, by Aromaleigh (outer lid)
Suffocation, by Evil Shades (crease)
Tell Me Lies, by Hi Fi (highlight, blended)
Revlon eyeliner in Very Violet
L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara
I also used a Fyrinnae lip lustre, Lollipop-Pop. Here's a closeup!
What a gorgeous color, I need to collect so many more lip lustres! *_* After ice cream we played Just Dance for the Wii for hours- I am so obsessed with this, does anyone else have it? If you have a Wii, YOU NEED IT, it is so much fun. Who Let The Dogs Out is my best song :P I'm going out for sushi for lunch today, what are your plans? Also, I'm expecting my package from Shiro Cosmetics today, so hopefully a review soon, as well as a Glamour Doll Eyes review. I'll also post my Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure giveaway later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Today I thought I'd try out a few colors that I've never used, and do a matte look. I was glad the few matte shades I have were orange/red/maroon types, because I really wanted to use a maroon color today.
What I used:
Concrete Minerals eyeshadow primer
Cat's Pajamas, by Aromaleigh (inner lid)
Train Wreck, by Aromaleigh (outer lid)
Nymph, by Detrivore (crease)
Sand, by Aromaleigh (highlight)
Maybelline Falses Mascara
UD Liner in Lucky (upper lid)
Rimmel black liner
L'Oreal HiP taupe-colored cream crayon (below waterline)
NYC blush stick in Big Apple Blush (love this!)
mark glow baby glow luxe gloss in Lucky
I'm not going to list face products I use anymore because it's boring. I feel like I had a bunch of other stuff I wanted to say, but I can't remember any of it now, so I guess I'll just edit this if I do!
Edit: Ok, one already. I deleted my Twitter, it very quickly lost it's appeal for me. Sorry ladies!
I didn't realize it until after I had finished the look, but the color scheme is like that of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. I must have read someone's blog post about MAC & Disney before I did my makeup. I've been going full on naked-face the whole week, so I just did a really simple look today... I felt rusty!
What I used:
UDPP
Extragalactic, by Stardust (lid)
Neon Femme, by Stardust (crease)
Moondance, by Stardust (highlight)
liner on upper lid is Flash of Brilliance, by Sassy Minerals, with Beautiful Girl Minerals eyeshadow sealant
Rimmel liner in black on waterline
Maybelline Falsies mascara
Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer
Revlon PhotoReady translucent finishing powder
Wet N Wild blush in Heather Silk
Revlon moisture renew lipstick in Coral Shimmer
I love the Falsies mascara. It lengthens and separates my lashes amazingly.
It is so annoying I have to even make a post about this. I have gotten so many spam comments in the last few days, it is ridiculous. I'm gonna be really annoyed if I have to start approving all comments before they are posted, because I like for my nice normal sweet and lovely commenters to be able to see what everyone else has said. >:[ GRRR!
Sorry I haven't been posting on the regular, but I've been having so much fun enjoying my last summer before going away! Currently I'm trying to decide if the excruciating pain my body is in now was worth the massive amount of fun I had using a slip n slide yesterday... tell me about your summer adventures! :D
