Gold & Green EOTD using Barry M & Hi-Fi

Hi everyone! It's been a while ^_^; I've just been so busy with schoolwork, job searching, etc. Getting really settled in to a completely new place isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I'm also on a no-buy until I find a job (but I do have some packages on the way, ha). Here's a look I did the other day. I couldn't get the best pictures of it for some reason, but you get the idea. On my lid is Barry M's "Parrot Green", with their metallic liner in "Gold". I have Hi-Fi's "California Girl"in the crease, and "Mornings of Gold" as the highlight color.

Some Eye(brows) of the Days

You might have noticed it's been almost a month since I've posted an EOTD. Since I started blogging I got a little self conscious about my eyebrows, because I'd never waxed or plucked them or anything. So finally about a month ago, I decided to pluck them a little bit. I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to mess up your brows the first time you pluck, because you really don't know when to stop. I didn't pluck enough at first, then I way overplucked. I kind of suck at filling in my brows, when I even bother to try, so that's why they will probably look different for every EOTD I do until I figure out what works for my face. They don't look too bad anymore, and I'm sure no one is paying attention to my eyebrows IRL, so it's really not a big deal. This EOTD is from a couple weeks ago. The lid color is Hi Fi's "Fear the Nobodies", with some gold glitter liner from Collection 2000. A few days ago I did my most overused color combo of yellow and green. The chartreuse is Juvenile by Concrete Minerals, the green is Parrot Green by Barry M, and the purple is Nightshade by Evil Shades. These were all nearly-matte colors, so they don't look as blended in the pictures are they were IRL. I'll end this post with a couple music videos by my favorite band, Foxy Shazam, because I'm seeing them live on Friday and I'm really excited! :D

Some EOTDs from this week

I feel lame for not posting since Monday, but as I said in my last post, work is kinda killing me here. It's my day off though, so after I post this I'm going to go back to sleep, SLEEP IN, and then watch movies all day :) I did this look a few days ago, and it's one of my favorites I've ever done, so I'm bummed the pictures didn't turn out a little bit better. What I used: Concrete Minerals primer Pixie Epoxy Frostbite, by High Voltage (inner lid) Land Serene, by Hi Fi (outer lid) Sun N Clouds, by Stardust (crease) Mornings of Gold, by Hi Fi (highlight) Collection 2000 Glam Crystals liner in Pow! 10 Jemma Kidd liner in Style Icon (waterline) Barry M metallic liquid liner in gold (below waterline) Maybelline Falsies mascara, then L'Oreal Extra Collagen mascara e.l.f. all over color stick in Pink Lemonade (blush) Boots no 17 lip glaze in Remember Me (thanks Lillian!) Today since I was already using 2 Sleek products, I just decided to use a lot of nice products I have from the UK thanks to Rachel and Lillian :) What I used: Concrete Minerals primer Sleek Circus palette (matte pink and lavender shades, white to highlight) Sleek Kajal liner in Odyssey Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara Rimmel liner in black The lavender did not want to show up in the pictures, my whole lid looks pink when really it has a lot of lavender. This reminds me of the MAC Azalea Blossom blush. I have a question for you guys, would you like or dislike a post of lots of non makeup related personal stuff? I would show you pictures of my 10,000 pets, songs I've been listening to lately, stuff like that. Tell me yay or nay in the comments! Hopefully I'll post again later today, I have some awesome colors to swatch from you. From where? It's a surprise :) ETA: Has anyone shopped with All Cosmetics Wholesale? They have a lot of lovely things at great prices, but I'd like to be assured it's legitimate.

best mail I've ever gotten in my LIFE!

Who cares about all my college acceptance letters! Since I can't afford to go to a university anyway >:[ Getting my makeup from the amazing Rachel was the best thing to come home from vacation to! Here's some things I had my family win for me at King's Island amusement park, heehee. THAT'S A FREAKING LICKYLICKY! It's Lickitung's evolved stage. Lickitung is my favorite Pokemon :D On to the magical mystical box of foreign makeup *_* We did a swap, and I don't know what I was expecting but certainly not THIS MUCH awesome stuff! I was seriously jumping around and yelling because I was so excited. Oh makeup, what you do to me... The Sleek Sunset Palette! Some really cute Beauty UK palettes! Barry M metallic liners, COLLECTION 2000 GLAM CRYSTAL LINERS (OMG DID I EVER WANT THESE SO BADLY), Sleek Kajal liner (in purple!), Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara (a discontinued in the US fave of mine), and some Me Me Me lip & cheek tint (it has a nail polish style applicator!) She sampled a ton of her Barry M pigments for me, as well as a few from other companies too :) Wasn't that so sweet? She also got me two full size Barry M pigments, a blue and a bronze, my favorite summer color combo. This seriously was the best thing EVER... I just came down with a cold so I'm not really wanting to do any looks right now, but if there is anything you'd like to see swatched, please feel free to let me know! This whole swapping experience pleased me so fabulously that I'm really eager to do it again. If anyone from the UK wants to do a swap that we'd send sometime in the next couple months, lemme know, cus I'd love it! :D We can set a price limit, and if there's any brands or specific products you're looking for I'd be more than happy to scout them out for you. Drop me an email or a comment if you'd be interested :)
