I like days like this, just because they're silly. It's the same reason I like class color day at school, just cus it's cute for everyone to be matching. And I'm actually somewhat Irish. My great grandparents on my dad's side were from Ireland. I just realized I don't even know what this holiday is supposed to be celebrating :P Side note about life: my school went into a code red lockdown today, meaning all the teachers have to lock all the doors, and we can't leave the classroom. I think if anyone actually gets in the school, we're supposed to turn off all the lights and huddle in a corner or something weird like that. The reason for the lockdown was that there was an armed robbery in one of the neighborhoods nearest school. So that was interesting *shrugs*
What I used:
UDPP
Acid Rain by Urban Decay (over lid)
Can't See The Forest, by Hi Fi (outer lid)
Leif, by Fyrinane (crease)
Tell Me Lies, by Hi Fi (highlight)
Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara
Covergirl eyeliner in brown black (waterline)
NYX eye pencil in Acid Green (below waterline)
Revlon PhotoReady translucent finisher
Urban Decay ultraglide lip gloss in Lust
Here is my outfit from yesterday, just because it's cute. I got the dress for only $12 on clearance at Charlotte Russe, and the Hollister jacket for $5 at Goodwill. I love bargains!
And here's some HKOTD. Tin lunch boxes! One which includes... a bunch of Hello Kitty lip glosses and balms :D
Spring break tomorrow, woo! I'm leaving for Texas on Sunday or Monday to see my baby and look for an apartment :D
I have had so much fun trying this stuff out the last 2 days... I have no doubt I will go to it for my makeup tomorrow morning too. I love these shadows, they are so soft and creamy feeling, and so damn pigmented! I haven't even tried the eye burning neons yet! Me wants more Sleek palettes @_@ I am so loving pressed shadows right now.
In the first look I am also wearing NYX lipstick in Georgia (the only good color for me of the 4 I've bought), Twilight I blush by I Touch Roses, Covergirl eyeliner in brown black, and mark Scanda-lash mascara. Revlon ColorStay underye concealer & PhotoReady Translucent Finishing Powder. It's nothing super exciting, but I wanted more toned down makeup than the bright ass melon look I did the other day (the last look from my previous post).
I did silver on the ball of my lid, and used the really metallic blue for the inner lid, and the darker blue for the outer lid. It looks like the same blue in the picture, but it's not. I also used silver under my waterline, but only part way.
This next one was something I did today, over NYX jumbo pencil in Cottage Cheese as a base. I thought "Oh, those two colors will look nice together", but they look WAY better than I even expected! I kept looking into the mirror at my eyes when I was hanging out with my boyfriend. We watched Are You Afraid of the Dark! This post of Blix's reminded me my DVD set of it has been sitting untouched for quite a while. Oh the nostalgia! I used a Milani Powder Mosaic in Sweet Cheeks, L'Oreal Collegen Mascara, Fyrinnae's Pink Guitar lip lustre, and Too Faced sparkler gloss over that in Violet Vapor. Revlon ColorStay underye concealer & PhotoReady Translucent Finishing Powder.
I love this palette! And I love blush now you guys! I never used it before blogging. ;]
I haven't done an HKOTD in a while, so here ya go. My big kitty and my little kitty ^_^
That picture understates how huge that Hello Kitty is... exhibit B. I'm sitting.
I have a million cute pictures of my kitty. I know there's a lot of cat fans out there, would you be interested in a post of some kitty pictures? Answer honestly cus I don't want to spend time resizing them all if you're gonna be like "Omg get on with the makeup already you crazy cat lady weirdo..." :P Ps Rachel, I ate the chocolate bar today while watching a movie ^_^ So yummy!
At Walgreens the other day I purchased a set of ecotools brushes, all for eyes. It included a shade brush, a smudge brush, a blending blush, a highlight brush, and a crease brush. I could not believe the difference having proper brushes made! I always just use the same type of eyeshadow brush for all parts of the look, because that's what I had. The ecotools brushes are really soft and amazing. The blending brush is my new favorite thing ever :D I'm kinda bummed about these pictures, in real life it looked so much more amazing. I was really pleased.
What I used:
UDPP
NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as base
Mysteria by Evil Shades (inner lid)
Unnamed Forever 21 purple pigment (outer lid)
Shocking by Sassy (crease)
Tell Me Lies, by Hi Fi (highlight)
Milani Infinite liquid liner in Endless
L'Oreal extra collegen mascara
Covergirl eyeliner in brown black (waterline)
Rimmel eyeliner in Loveable Lilac, topped with Mysteria (below waterline)
Revlon ColorStay undereye concealer
Revlon PhotoReady translucent finisher
Rimmel mousse blush in Frozen Cherry
Pixi lip booster in Thena
HKOTD: Coin tin!
Side note, I am seeing the midnight premier of Alice In Wonderland next week! I am so excited. I think I'm going to do my makeup like the queen of hearts, and I'm going to try and convince my blonde friend going with me to let me make her into Alice. :D Alice's Adventures In Wonderland is my favorite book of all time, with Through The Looking Glass as a close second... I love anything Alice, and I love how many renditions and interpretations there are of it. I'm going to love this movie! Who else is excited?
Edit: I just realized the tin is sitting on top of a bunch of post-its that I wrote my favorite quotes from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland on. I'm such a nerdy birdy
I say Neutralish because I feel like there is no such thing as a neutral with Aromaleigh! When I think neutral, I think boring. There are no boring Aromalrigh colors. It's the only place I order a lot of non brights from, because even colors I would typically consider "dull" are just beautiful. Moth is a browny grey, with an amazing green interface that only shows up when it hits the light just right. Totally grab a sample ;]
What I used:
Detrivore eyeshadow primer
Moth, by Aromaleigh (inner lid)
Brianna, by Aromaleigh (outer lid)
Oh Precious Patience, by The She Space (crease)
Feel the Heat, by High Voltage (highlight)
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese (inner v)
Covergirl eyeliner in brown black (waterline)
NYX eye pencil in Acid Green (under waterline)
Urban Decay Lingerie lash primer
mark scanda-lash mascara
Revlon Colorstay under eye concealer
Revlon PhotoReady translucent finishing powder
mark blush in After Glo
NYX lipstick in Georgia
mark luxe gloss in Pearl Luxe
What is up with the mascara in that picture... anyway. I really like the new Revlon PhotoReady face powder I've been using. I always try to keep my face as matte as possible, because I usually feel like I can't pull off the "dewy" look. I think this keeps shine on my face without making me look oily, so I really like it. Downside to this powder is the cost: $11 is a huge leap up from the $4 Covergirl stuff I was using. Drugstore makeup is getting pricey these days! Also, it has a weird smell, like a bathroom that's just been cleaned with a floral cleaner... I don't know how to describe it. I think it makes my skin look really nice though, so the pros outweigh the cons.
HKOTD!
Trash can! 16th birthday gift :] That's my 2009 calender next to it... too cute to throw away.
Oh, and in case there's someone who hasn't seen this article from anyone else's blog... here. I've already left my pissy comments about it on other people's blogs, you can rant here if you want. :P
I got 4 packages in the mail today!
From Avon/mark
Aromaleigh
High Voltage Cosmetics
and Cherry Culture!
These pictures are pretty lame colorwise, everything looks a lot brighter irl. The L.A. Colors due, though, actually looks like that, definitely NOT like the picture on the Cherry Culture site *sigh*
Hmm... nope.
I also wanted to show you my nails, using Wet N Wild's "Rain Check" which I got for 99 cents :) I used a coat of CG's Matte Magic on top.
It's grey, it's blue! I love it! PS, I know the yellow is dirty! It's not my carpet, but the towel I keep under my makeup area to try and stop ruining the carpet ;]
I was going to take pictures of my whole Hello Kitty collection and post it, but I decided I'm going to do a Hello Kitty of the Day instead! I don't think showcasing some of my weirder things individually will make me look like any less of a loony, but it'll be more fun! Here are some knee socks my friend Emily just picked me up. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can wear them with a cute little skirt!
I hope everyone's week is going well.
