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

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- 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

Younique 3D lash mascara- lashes

Frozen! makeup look

Seeing as how my part of Tennessee has been under an ice storm for the past 12 hours,

I figured it was only appropriate to do a look based off of

Elsa from Frozen.

I know basically everyone has already created this look,

but I haven't.

So.

I gave it a go.

Here's my wearable, Elsa makeup look:

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

BFTE's 'Last Call' &, Urban Decay's 'Alchemy' & 'Vanity', 

and Sleek's 'Flump' & 'Sugarlite'- inner/outer corners

Sleek's 'Parma Violet'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Trance'- middle of lid

SYN Cosmetics' 'Case'- lower lash line

L'Oreal Butterfly Intenza mascara & Younique 3D lash mascara- lashes

V-Day look :)

I'm sure many of you lovely ladies have plans for Valentine's day,

single or not.

If so, you might want fun but wearable Valentine's day look.

I've created one today that I would totally wear out for the holiday.

<3

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

Sleeks 'Parma Violet' & 'Flump'- crease

Lime Crime's 'Pearl-ple' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Case'- highlight

SYN Cosmetics' 'Trace'- inner corners

SYN Cosmetics' 'Dash'& 'Smooch'- lid

SYN Cosmetics' 'Romance'- lower lash line

Revlon's 'Matte Balm in 'Elusive'- lips

I actually really liked this look.

It's soft and flirty :))
