My Little Pony makeup series- Pinkie Pie

Today's look in my My Little Pony series is based off of Pinkie Pie:

She's silly, energetic, and somewhat of a goofball :)

Here's the simple yet definitely 'pink' look I created based off of this character:

(in natural light)

(in indoor light)

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

UD's 'Freebird'- inner corners

SYN Cosmetics' 'Audacity'- lid

Sugarpill's 'Dollipop' & Sleek's 'Parma Violet'- crease

UD's 'Noise'- highlight

*FeStIvAl* look

Well, it's that time of year!

Festivals are everywhere you go.

I recently just came back from Bonnaroo,

and the amazing Electric Forest started yesterday.

There are a million & a half things you'll see at festivals,

but all the bright/neon lights/colors are one of the first things I think of aside from the music.

As such, I decided to revisit my Sleek Acid palette & create a fun, festy look!

I used:

UD Primer Potion

Various Sleek Acid palette shadows

Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

The blending isn't quite as good as I would have liked,

but it's not too bad.

Either way, to me- it's fun and definitely something reminiscent to me of a festival!

:)

Too Faced's Rock 'N Roll palette

So I've been seeing this palette from Too Faced pop up various places lately,

and when I saw the vibrant, metallic swatches- I knew I had to have it.

A week, eBay purchase, and $34 later- I got it!

The idea behind the palette was to provide shadows & instructions to create 3 separate looks, 

characterized as either Easy (top row), Classic (middle row), & Fashion (bottom row):

Time for swatches!

You can see there are a mix of metallics, satins, 1 matte, and glitters in this palette :)

The larger shadows I would use on the brow bone & inner corners:

Then you have the darker shadows for the lids/crease:

I cannot freaking wait to create some looks with these bad boys.

Have any of you tried this palette?

What are your thoughts?

Cocktail Makeup Series- Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

It's that time again!

Now that the warmer weather/summer is basically upon us,

it's time for my annual Cocktail Makeup Series :)

Today's look is based off of this gem that I found on Pinterest:
Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

This bad boy looks DELISH.

(Find the full recipe here!)

These colors are two of my favorite to play with on my eyes,

so I was really excited to create a variation of this for my series.

Here's my look:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

UD's 'Sabbath' & 'Heroine'- crease

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty' & Sleek's 'Bolt'- highlight

Sleek's 'Powi' & 'Cream Soda'- inner corners

Sleek's 'Pear Drop', 'Mint Cream', & 'Cricket'- lid/lower lash line

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Game of Thrones makeup series- Meereen

IT'S FINALLY THAT TIME.

Game of Thrones is back!

As such, my makeup series has returned again, too :)

If you saw last night's episode (no spoilers here, don't worry)

OR if you've read the books,

you'll know that at this point in the story-

Meereen is becoming increasingly more important.

Meereen is the largest of the 3 city-states of Slaver's Bay.

Before Dany liberated the slaves,

it was one of the most lavish and richest cities in that part of the world.

Based on the gilded gold on the pyramids and statues

as well as the mud/clay brick that the rest of the city was built from,

here's the look I created:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

SYN Cosmetics' 'Slim'- inner corners

Shiro Cosmetics' 'Hodor'- inner half of lid

Shiro Cosmetics' 'I Loved a Maid'- outer half of lid

Shiro Cosmetics' 'Climbing Chaos'- crease

Shiro Cosmetics' 'Queensguard' & 'Womens' Weapons'- highlight

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

I wish the sheen from 'I Loved a Maid' was easier to see,

but otherwise, I love this look.

It definitely reminds me of Meereen :)

It's actually a look I would wear out in a heartbeat, too.

Anyway,

stay tuned for more looks for the series :)

My Little Pony makeup series- Rarity

It's time for another installment in my My Little Pony makeup series!

Today's look is based off of Rarity:

Rarity represents the element of generosity in the series.

I decided to use her bold, white color as the main ingredient in my look,

with her mane and eye color as accents.

Here's what I came up with:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

Sugarpill's 'Tako' & Sleek's 'Cream Soda'- lid

Sleek's 'Parm Violet' & 'Flump'- crease

Sleek's 'Bubble Gum' & 'Bolt'- lower lash line

Sugarpill's 'Poison Plum' & Sleek's 'Sugarlite'- highlight

Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

I used pretty much all mattes for this look,

which I almost never do.

However, the brazen, clear color of Rarity seemed to call for such a thing.

I was uneasy about the harsh white on my lids, at first,

but it actually needed up working fairly well.

Stay tuned for more installments in the next week or so!

:)

Game of Thrones shadows/swatches!

Okay, so, I"m a big game of thrones fan.

I've read all the books & they're amazeballs,

PLUS the show isn't half bad, either.

In honor of Season 5 starting in the next few weeks,

I'd decided to buy some shadows from the ever amazing

Shiro Cosmetics.

I've actually never bought this brand before,

but I've heard and seen nothing but great things.

I chose several pigments from the Game of Thrones collection,

and here are their swatches! :)

Though I haven't actually worn any of these yet,

I was very pleased with quality & pigmentation while swatching.

:)

Stay tuned for a/some look(s) using these soon!

My Little Pony makeup series- Fluttershy

I've got another installment in my My Little Pony makeup series for you today

(see the first one here).

Today's look is based off of Fluttershy:

She represents the element of kindness,

so I wanted the look I created for her to not only use her colors,

but be soft and gentle as well.

Here's what I came up with!

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'El Dorado' & 'Midnight Cowboy'- inner half of lid

UD's 'Hot Pants'- outer part of lid

Sleek's 'Pout' & Sugarpill's 'Dollipop'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Audacious'- highlight

Lime Crime's 'Circus Girl'- lower lash line

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Frigid February

So, in honor of us here in TN having record breaking sub-zero temperatures tonight,

I have a frosty, frigid look :)

I decided to do a darker color on my inner corners

rather than on the outer side, like usual.

I like how it turned out :)

I wish you could see the glitter and sparkle from a couple of the pigments I used more, 

but I'm overall pleased! :)

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'Truth'- brow bone

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Famous'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Dap'- highlight

UD's 'Heroine' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Delusion'- inner corners

UD's 'Kiddie Pool'- lid
