Long time no see.

Well from me at least. Sorry I have been MIA, I just finished up training at a new job, so things have been kinda hectic and stressful. So please accept my apologies and I hope you enjoy this look that I recently did for a night out.

This look I did using glitter. I'm such a glitter hound. For the base under the glitter I used MUFE #92 for the purple-the best purple known to man, and in the crease I used MAC's Typographic. w/o the glitter that look still rocks, but to bump it up a notch I used LA Splash's purple glitter in Phenomenon. Using LA Splash eyeshadow sealer as the sticky base I applied copious amounts of the glitter. *I would do the face makeup last because there is a lot of fallout. Just the nature of the beast. For the lower lashline I used NYX glitter line in Pewter. Use your favorite eyeliner and mascara and VOILA. A look a drag queen would be jealous of. :D

For the face I contoured using Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil and for highlight I used MAC's msf in Porcelain Pink. Lips I used MAC's Viva Gaga 1 lipstick and gloss.

Final Product w/ a side of attitude.

Me, my boyfriend, and my sister out on the town at 7 in MPLS. Awesome sushi <3

EOTD:Misfit

This is a look I did using the NARS duo in "Misfit". I picked this duo up at Sephora on a recent shopping trip with my sister. It caught my eye because well the teal is just amazing and I love the contrast with the matte neutral shade that comes with it.

I fell head over heels in love with this look. it was my first time attempting a cut crease (I used MAC Plumage to deepen and add dimension). I personally think it looks awesome.

The application was smooth and the pigmentation was absolutely amazing. I used MAC's Blanc Type for a highlight, and my Blacktrack Fluidline for eyeliner and Lash Injection for mascara.

This will definitely be a repeat. It's love.

Birds of a Feather

Here we go with another eye look. I absolutely love this look and I am not one to usually shy away from bright colors. The above necklace proved as inspiratioin to this look.

Clearly it is a lot of colors put together, but I think that they work well together and this isn't a look for the faint of heart or one that usually shies away from color

What I used:
Juxt (mac) inner corner
Shimmermoss (mac) middle
#83 (MUFE) outer corner
#92 (MUFE) crease
Contrast (mac) deep crease
Gesso (mac) for highlights

I believe I used my line stiletto and too faced lash injection for mascara.

Final look, don't be afraid to tell me what you think ;)

Sad News

So I just wanted to take this opportunity to share a little bit.

I logged on to my computer only to see that Galiano had been fired from Dior. My jaw instantly dropped along with my stomach. Silly, I know to be so distraught over something so minute. I mean, with all this Charlie Sheen bull honky going on, this almost went under the radar. Now, I'm not condoning what he did/said. But to me Galiano and Dior were synonymous with each other.

Even when I first got into fashion and makeup I knew Galiano. It wasn't until later I associated him with Dior. Dior quickly escalated to be my favorite brand and Galiano the designer favorite.

He was so whimsical and romantic with his designs. And when you have amazing women like Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman backing the label, the success level is diabolical. I believe Scarlet Johansson is on that list as well.

So I will be taking a moment to appreciate not the actions of that man, but of the gifts he had given to the fashion world.

Am I being a little melodramatic? Probably, but that was truly love at first sight.

Lush review

Hey everyone I just wanted to share with you a product I'm totally loving for this winter. It's Lush's Dream Cream:

Now I am one of those unfortunate people who have eczema which sucks. All it really is, is painfully dry skin. Take a bad sunburn and time it by about 10. Nothing I've used seemed to help it. The winter makes it especially bad since they are so dry.

So I went to Lush to see if they had anything for eczema and the sales lady suggested Dream Cream. And I love it! I wasn't digging it at first, it didn't seem to help, then about a week of using it, it helped so much!

Pros:
Soothes the skin and is uber moisturizing.
Has a lot of other goodies in there to help your skin.
Even though it smells it only lasts a little bit
Oh and it's totally Vegan!

Cons:
It's kind of pricey (23-ish dollars for 8.4 ounces)
The smell is horrid
It stings for a little (which is an indication that something is working-atleast for me)

Overall I love it. Not having to deal with the pain is priceless I'd definitely recommend it.

Don't you Haight a Loaded Uzi?

Here's a look that I did using the Urban Decay Book of Shadows 3.
Lid-Uzi
Crease-Haight
Deep Crease-Loaded

The above picture is a little washed out but you can kind of get the idea.

I absolutely love Urban Decay Shadows. They are really easy to blend and have great color pay off. Now granted $53 is a lot to drop for makeup but there are 16 shadows and it is well worth the investment.

Those are the last of my eyeballs. I love this look, the glitter from Uzi falls all over your face. I'm a sucker for glitter, if you aren't a fan, it's probably not a color for you.

I'd love to hear feedback....until next time

Seeing Stars

This is the newest manicure that I'm trying out for the first time, and I adore it. It's super fun and I love how the silver just stands out. I used my bundle monster plate BM20. The dark purple base is OPI's Lincoln Park after Midnight. The stars are Nicole by OPI in Positive Energy. This is my first time not using the special konad polishes and I love how opaque this color is. I'm anxious to try more from this brand.

I forgot to mention that the top coat is none other than Seche Vite. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should. Never used such a fast drying top coat.

And just for funsies here is my little polish buddy who barged in mid manicure:

A final close up including some whoops spots :)
