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:

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- Dorne

Happy Sunday Funday!
I have another post in my GoT makeup series today.
If you've been watching the show lately,
you'll know that Dorne is becoming an increasingly prominent place,
with the Martells being from/ruling there, Oberyn, and the Sand Snakes.

Here are a few of the pictures I used of Dorne as inspiration:


And here's the soft/subtle look I created:


I used:
UD's Primer Potion
UD's 'Lucky', 'Reign', & 'Brokedown'- crease
SYN Cosmetics' 'Slim'- inner corners
SYN Cosmetics' 'Blaze' & 'Zone'- lids
SYN Cosmetics' 'Trace' & 'Greedy'- 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!
:)

My Little Pony makeup series- *Twilight Sparkle*

So since my daughter is lately obsessed with My Little Pony,
I decided to do a makeup series based on the little ponies.
They're each packed with all kinds of bright and cheerful colors,
so it's a great excuse to get out my brighter colors and play with them :)


For today's post, I used Twilight Sparkle for my first look.


I decided to stick with various shades of purple
with some slight pink for the look.
I also, of course, had to have a bit of sparkle ;)






I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
UD's 'Bobby Dazzle'- inner corner highlight
UD's 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in 'Woodstock' & Sugarpill's 'Dollipop'- lower lash line
UD's Glide On Eye Pencil 'Ransom' & Sleek's 'Parma Violet'- crease
Sleek's 'Flump' & 'Sugarlite'- highlight
UD's 'Grifter' & Lime Crime's 'Pearl-ple'- lid
Sugarpill's 'Tako'- browbone
Victorian Disco's 'Stun Grenade'- silver glitter
Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara



What do you guys think about my interpretation?
I had a lot of fun creating this crazy, bold, and sparkly look :)

Cocktail Makeup Series- So Far (Review)

I AM NOT DEAD.
I know it's been a hot minute since i've posted,
but i've been so busy with finishing up things for my license and graduating college.
I finally did it, though!!
Which means now I have more time to blog :)


If you followed my blog last summer,
you'll know I started a makeup series based off of various cocktails.
I plan to do that again this year (and am currently taking requests!!),
so I wanted to recap what I've done so far.



















The attached links go to each looks' respective post,
where you can find more pics, recipes, and products used.



I plan on creating even better (quality wise, anyway) looks this year.
Any suggestions you guys have, let me know!
:)

Game of Thrones makeup series- R'hllor, The Lord of Light

GAME OF THRONES PREMIER TODAY OMG.
In honor of that, I'm so excited to pick back up
my Game of Thrones makeup series!
(See HERE for all my Game of Thrones looks last year)


Today's look is based on R'hllor, the Lord of Light.
"For the night is dark and full of terrors."

In case you don't read the books or watch the series,
this is an increasingly popular and apparently strong
or 'real' God in Westeros. 
His most prominent disciple is
the lady Melisandre, who's a freak in and of herself,
and who's also the guiding force behind Stannis Baratheon's movement.


Here's my look for R'hllor:


I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
Sugarpill's 'Tako'- browbone
Lime Crime's 'Siren' inner corner
SYN Cosmetics' 'Ruthless' -lid
Sugarpill's 'Flamepoint', SYN Cosmetics' 'Blaze'- crease
BFTE's 'Lemon' and Sugarpill's 'Buttercupcake'- waterline


Although the yellow on the waterline turned out a bit too bright,
and the inner corners are a little sloppy,
I still like it.

The Lord of Light is all about fire (obviously),
and often blood sacrifice, so I think the reds were definitely a good choice.
What do you guys think?
