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 :))

OPI: 50 Shades of Grey collection- (part 3)

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

This is my third and final post showcasing OPI's 50 Shades of Grey collection.

I'd love to say we are ending this on a high note,

but- we aren't.

The two polishes I have for you today I'm posting more out of duty than because I like them.

Sad.

First is 'Romantically Involved'.

I love a good red as much as the next girl,

but... this really was anticlimactic.

It's got a pretty color, no doubt.

(it actually reminded me of a less good version of their Lost on Lombard),

but the formula was crap.

Definitely not something you really need to drop some money on :/

The worse of the two is this sad little number- 

'Dark Side of the Mood'.

The coolest part about this polish is it's name.

This was the most watery of all the polishes.

It took a good 3 coats to even look somewhat opaque.

Truly, it's just really dull.

I hate to end the collection this way,

but, there you have it!

:)

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.

OPI's 50 Shades of Grey Collection (part 2)

Here's round 2 of the polishes for 50 Shades of Grey from OPI.

(see the first post here)

For today,

I have my two favorite from the whole collection.

First up is 'Cement the Deal'.

'Cement the Deal' is a nice, medium-grey creme.

Obviously, reminiscent of cement... or at least the was the intention.

The formula on this was pretty good, but a little thin.

This is with 3 coats.

It's nice :)

Next up is 'Shine for Me':

'Shine for Me' is a clear base that's tightly packed with silver, grey, and dark blue micro glitter.

It's pictured here over 'Cement the Deal',

and it's actually pretty awesome.

It's nothing all that creative,

but the formula was good and it sparkles :)

Stay tuned for the last of the collection soon!

ColourPop Lippie Stix 'Ellarie'

Well, I have a newfound obsession.

I was told by GaGa for Nails to try Colourpop Cosmetics,

and I'm highly impressed!

I bought two matte lippie stix from them;

here is the first!

'Ellarie'

This hippie stix is described as a "deep, sultry cranberry"...

uh, yes, please!

Here it is in indoor lighting:

Annnnd in natural lighting:

It's absolutely gorgeous,

though I found it to be much lighter than the picture portrayed on their website.

Either way, I love it.

These stix are super easy to apply (even with my shaky hands)

and they feel great on.

Can't wait to buy more! :)))

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! :)
