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 :))

Colourpop Cosmetics lippie stix- 'Dalia'

So not only is the name of this lippie six seductive,

but WAIT until you see this bad boy.

With Valentine's day right around the corner-

if you're wanting to feel sexy and daring...

slap this sucker on.

Here's 'Dalia':

Sorry for the ghettofabulous pics;

I know they're a bit of a mess.

I've been super busy lately,

but I had to get this bad boy out!

For just $5, you can't beat it.

Valentine's Vamp

So I wanted to do a super bold look for Valentine's day.

When I was playing and picking my shadows,

this is just what happened to transpire.

I've dubbed it Valentine's Vamp :)

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'Blackout'- lid

Sugarpill's 'Dollipop'- highlight

L'Oreal Butterfly Intenza mascara

OPI: 50 Shades of Grey mini collection (part 1)

Well, most females on the planet know by now that

50 Shades of Grey is coming out in two weeks.

As such, (and since Valentine's Day is right around the corner),

I figured I'd do a couple posts featuring OPI's mini collection in honor of the movie.

First,

here's the entire collection:

'

Today, I just have a couple swatches from the collection for you.

First up is 'My Silk Tie'.

Pictured here is 2 coats. 'My Silk Tie' is a silky, metallic silver. Consistency was good,

and it's just as lovely as any other metallic foil :) Lives up to it's name, for sure.

Next up is 'Cement the Deal':

'Cement the Deal' is a lovely, medium to light grey creme.

This is with 2 coats.

I was very pleased with the formula and color of both these polishes.

So far, they are definitely sultry and live up to their collection's intention.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see the rest! :)

February Favorites :)

It's been embarrassingly long since I've done a favorites post,

I'm ashamed to say.

Sorry about that!

Things have just been insane with my student teaching the past semester and a half.

Now  I finally have some time to do it, though.

So here they are!

1. Revlon Matte Balm Stain in 'Elusive'.

*NOT my picture. Credit to allurabeauty.com

This has quickly become my newest favorite lip color.

It's muted/dusty enough that it works for Winter,

but it's also bright enough that it works for the coming Spring.

See my swatch of this bad boy here.

2. Too Faced Jingle All the Way makeup set

This makeup set has been my go-to to create my everyday daytime look.

The neutrals in it are fantastic,

with lovely shimmer.

See a FULL review of it that I just did here.

3. Victoria's Secret perfume 'Tease'

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS FRAGRANCE.

That is all :)

Go buy it if you know what's good for you.

4. Mystic Nights pt.2 Look

I was really pleased with how whimsical and fun this look turned out to be.

It's a bit more dramatic than I usually do,

but it's been probably my favorite from this month.

See the crazy purple/blue lip I paired with it here.

Zoya 'Layla'

I bought this polish LAST Valentine's Day,

but every time I use it, I'm thrilled all over again that I bought it.

Such a bright, happy pink! 

Also, my daughter's name ;P

5. Soft Valentine's Day look

This has been my other favorite look from this month.

I really loved how soft the purple and pinks were together,

and the gradient of that light to dark purple in the crease.

I'm quite pleased with it :)

What are ya'll's thoughts on these?

Which is YOUR favorite?

Valentine's Eve look :)

Okay, this will be my last Valentine's Day post,

sorry!

I got started late with the posts so i'm stuffing in everything I can.

This is the look I'm wearing tonight for Valentine's day :)

I used (ALL SYN Cosmetics pigments):

'Synfused' - browbone

'Synfused', 'Entice', and 'Audacity'- lid

'Contempt' & 'Trace'- crease

Covergirl Bombshell Volume mascara

Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

The pictures really don't do it justice.

The combo and shimmer are uh-mazing together.

I can never get me enough of SYN Cosmetics!

If you haven't tried her stuff yet,

GO NOW- all her pigments are $4.00 right now!

Lovey Dovey Peacock

Happy Valentine's Day, fellow bloggers!

I'm killing two birds with one stone this post.

I wanted to have a look for Vday,

but I also wanted to use my new shadows from my Too Faced palette.

Thus, I came up with this look:

I used all unnamed shadows from the 

Too Faced Jingle All the Way palette:

a pink, a glittery teal, and a soft beige.

Very peacock-ish.

But I like the pink with it, too :)

Valentine's Day nail art & mani

Ya'll know I'm NOT good at nail art.

I saw a design on Pinterest that I wanted to try and recreate...

-___-

It turned out pretty crappy.

But i'll post anyway!

This is SUPPOSED to be heart shaped balloons.

But... yeah.

Didn't quite work out.

I got my hand to stop shaking long enough to do a somewhat decent job

on the hearts, but the black strings are wayyyy too thick.

Also, I have a super girl and simply mani for you:

This topcoat is one of the first indie polishes I ever bought

a couple years ago.

This is 'Monsta Love' from GlitterDaze.

Very fun :)

Nice little throwback,

as it was originally posted here.

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?
