Bold V-day look

I have a much brighter and bolder Valentine's Day look for you today.

Here's what I came up with:

I used:

Too Faced' Shadow Insurance

Sleek's 'Powi'- browbone

Sleek's 'Pout' & BFTE's 'Raspberry'- lid

Sleek's 'Sugarlite' & BFTE's 'Grape'- crease

Covergirl Bombshell mascara

Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner

This look isn't as polished as I would like,

but it looks okay.

What do you all think?

PCC- Sugarplum Fairy

I have another cute polish from Pop Culture Cosmetics for you today!.

Here's 2 coats of 'Sugarplum Fairy' over 1 coat

of Sinful Colors' 'Sweet Tooth'.

'Sugarplum Fairy' is a pastel purple base filled with all things purple & pink!

Purple microglitter, medium purple and pink hexes/circles, large pink circles,

and everything in between that's holo!

I couldn't believe how much it sparkled

and how much I liked it.

It looks even better once it's on!

newest additions & a Pinks-y Sphynx-y Valentine's look! (PICTURE HEAVY!)

ello, friends!

Ok, I want to jump right into tonight's post because I'm super excited about it.

First off are the newest additions to my little polish/make-up collection.

Woo!

* UD's badA glitter eyeliner in a lovely pink-- 'Groupie'

'Techno' & 'Kinetic Candy' from CG's new Electropop collection!

Ulta's 'Pinata-Yada-Yada

WOO! I also got a nail art brush & dotting tool- for I think my nails are finally long enough that I may attempt some nail art! 

ANYWAY, on to the make up.

So it's been way too long since I've done a look & i figured that, with Valentine's coming up, I would attempt some new looks in honor of that.

I give you my 'Pinks-y Sphynx-y' :)

*forgive my funky eyebrow- i've always had one with a cowlick :/

SWATCHES!

(all Urban Decay)

'Rockstar', 'Junkshow', 'Sphynx'

As I was beginning this look & blending and whatnot, I really thought that I looked like a legit crazy person. But when I saw the finished product- I actually quite liked it. It's a bit bold and bright for Valentine's Day, but I like it all the same :D

I used my finger to apply 'Sphynx' as a base, then used my finger again to apply 'Junkshow' on the outer corners. After that I used a blending/shadow brush for the crease- where I used 'Rockstar', thought I used it in a very subtle way.

AS ALWAYS, blending with UD is a dream and it's super easy to achieve the effect you're going for.

What do you guys think?

:)

Have a lovely night!

pretty in purple

one of my favorites things about Urban Decay are/(is?) their fantastic purples. Aside from the neutral look, purple is one of the other shades that I love to wear. I feel like it's a great look for those that have brown eyes, especially :) Here's my version:

 * taken in crappy bathroom light ( forgive my deplorable eyebrows!! )

* slightly less crappy fluorescent light

*deer-in-the-headlights look :/

I really like this look because, though the colors are bold, it's still a fairrrrrly subtle look. You could definitely jazz it up with a grey or black on the outermost corners for a more dramatic effect. As you can see from my weird picture above^, the look isn't super obvious to the outsider, unless you're looking down or something... but that's why i like it :)

Swatches of the shades I used:

Vanilla, Midnight 15, Ransom, Omen, & AC/DC

I really love any excuse to use 'Ransom' (my favorite purple of them all) or 'AC/DC'. 'Midnight 15' I use most always in the corner to lighten things up (if i'm not using 'S&M' or 'Uzi', which you can find here for $17 each). And again, not ALL of these shades are necessary to achieve this look- i just really love blending :)

Anyway, that's my little version of a purple look. Any feedback is welcome!
