The Penguin Makeup Challenge- Day 3!

Hey everyone!

So i'm stoked, yet also sad, to bring you the last look for the Penguin Makeup Challenge!

I've had fun playing around and trying to come up with looks for each week.

It's given me half a mind do another makeup challenge :p

SO, for today we had to use white & another color.

I was a little indecisive about my look, so I kept adding things to it until I was happy :0

First,

Here I just used 2 colors with a little flick of white eyeliner.

BUT I decided I needed something a little more...

* sorry this is blurry :/

So I lined my upper lash line. I liked this just fine,

but I felt like I should make it a little more fun if I could.

I finally decided to add a little double wing on the eyeliner. Nothing crazy, but a little more fun than the average way I had it before.

I used:

Sugarpill's 'Tako' in inner corners & brow bone

SP's 'Buttercupcake' on rest of lid

Lime Crime's 'Lunar Sea' uniliner

Covergirl Lashblast mascara

What do you guys think?

I'm kind of on the fence about it.

It reminds me of lemonade, haha.

Ah well. It's a combo I haven't really used before,

so it was fun to play with these.

The Penguin Makeup Challenge- Day 2

Hello, lovlies! :)

I'm pretty stoked about today's post because it's the second look for the Penguin Makeup Challenge! (see Day 1 here)
Today's look had to be ONLY black and another color.

I've been itching to use some fantastic blues that I have,

so now was my perfect chance :)

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

Urban Decay's 'Deep End' & 'Jinx' on lid

UD's 'Blackout' & 'Oil Slick' on outer corner and crease

UD's 'Shattered' on brow bone

Covergirl liquid eyeliner

Covergirl Lashblast mascara

I have to say, I really, really liked this look.

As I've said before, I really like bright blues against my eye color.

The pigmentation of 'Deep End' and 'Jinx' are amazing.

Unfortunately I don't think either color is available anymore :(

But UD's 'Haight' comes pretty close and could possssssibly do the trick instead.

'Blackout' is of course UD's infamous matte, pitch black shadow that's amazing.

I added 'Oil Slick' for the glitter and extra shimmer :p

Since we could only use TWO colors,

I didn't get to highlight my brow bone with 'Vanilla' like I like to,

so I made do with a tiny bit of 'Shattered' instead.

The look isn't quite as polished as I'd like,

but I totally love it anyway.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 9

Alas!

We have reached the last day in my adult series! :/

The final polish in the Dolly DOES Polish collection is 'Walk of Shame'.

This is a royal purple with violet/pink glass fleck shimmer.

Here you can juuuuuuust see the hints of violet and pink. I wasn't able to get any pictures of this in the sunlight (wahh!) but you can REALLY see the pink then. 

Here i've used 2 coats, and easily reached opacity.

I'm not usually that much of a fan of deep purples on me because i think it clashes with my skin tone, BUT, i was surprised how much I totally loved this polish!

It really became a favorite.

SO, what do you guys think?

I'm going to do a review/follow up post of this whole collection here soon

ALSO,

make sure you check out my first look for the Penguin Makeup Challenge!

Let me know what you think!

The Penguin Makeup Challenge- Day 1

Hello lovlies!!

:D

It's that time!

Today is the first day of the Penguin Makeup Challenge.

The look had today had to be ONLY in black and white,

so here's what I came up with.

*sorry for my totally unruly eyebrows

So here was my initial look. I'm a minimalist, and though I could have gone crazy with this- i actually really liked something simple. I DID branch out and do something a little weird with the eyeliner, though :p 

After playing with it a couple times,

I decided I didn't like the eyeliner coming through my inner corner (there goes my sense of adventure), so I cut it back:

I actually like this better,

and this is something I would totally wear out.

I've never worn solely white on my eyes before,

and it really made mine pop!

I used:

'Tako' by Sugarpill

Covergirl black liquid liner

Covergirl's LashBlast mascara

Yep, that's it!

I like that this is a look that totally anyone could do,

and it's really easy.

Now don't worry,

for next week i'll be much more fun :)

But I love a little simplicity every now and then!

What do you think?

Check out everyone else that's participating!
