2 Looks: Green and Neutral/Pin-Up

Holy wow, Batman! It's May already! Can you believe it? I can't. I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted anything, but life has gotten in the way. I won't go into detail because it's just boring. Anyway, I haven't really been playing with my makeup lately and I've started to lose my inspiration. I may wear makeup once or twice a week now versus the everyday thing I used to do. I've also started leaning more toward neutral looks, and I need to get out of that! I miss my brights! I do have quite a few new colors from Truth or Dare Cosmetics that I still haven't played around with but REALLY need to. I am also a promoter now for TOD, so I will be starting Youtube tutorials. Anyway, on with the looks.

Green With Envy

Look at the pretty sparkles!

This look reminds me of the Green Man. I won't go into religion detail, but he is a deity. He represents spirits of the trees, foilage, and leaves. Here's a pic of him if you don't know what I'm talking about.

As you can see I didn't go with the traditional red lip. I decided to use one of my new Milani Lip Flash pencils. I love these things. They go on so smooth. I'm definitely going to get more of them! I only have 2 colors right now: Hot Flash and Photo Flash. Once I get more I will do a review.

As I was writing this post I remembered I still need to finish my Tropical Bird Series. Geez. So, that will be the next thing I do. My next post will be inspired by the Lory:

Look at those bold colors! I'm going to have fun with this one!





Well, if you got this far thank you for reading. I will do my best to post more but I need to get my inspiration back first, haha. Maybe working on this series will help me do just that!

Recent Look + Photo Shoot

Long time, no post. Things have been crazy hectic lately and I've had some dental work done, so I haven't felt like doing any makeup. Plus my face has been crazy swollen. Anyway, I finally received the pictures back from a photo shoot I did the makeup for. This photo shoot was a few months ago. The photographer posted them but then removed them so I didn't have access to them until now. I will post my look first and then the best pics from the photo shoot. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to be posting more soon!

A Few Looks

Hi all. Long time no blog. Here are a few looks I've done over the past few weeks. Haven't worn much makeup in the past month, but here are a few that I've done. I haven't been in a makeup mood lately. Long story short; my husband and I are getting a divorce. But anyway. It's for the best and now I can move on with my life. Here are the looks I have done. I don't know if I remember all of the products or not, but I'll post what I can remember.

Lime-Aid Scandal

Hi all! Long time no post! Up today is a look I did the other night. I haven't really been wearing much makeup and if I do it's pretty natural. My husband loves green, especially lime green, so I decided to do a look using a lime green. Once again, I pulled out my Truth or Dare Cosmetics pigments for this look. Usually when I do a lime green I pair it with purple, and that's what I did with this look. The purple I used has a fine, red glitter in it but it doesn't transfer to the eye unless you pack on the color. Anyway, this purple leans toward dark blue/black when applied to the eye. I still like the way it came out, and I experimented with a new liquid liner that I got. It's the L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense felt pen. I prefer the felt pen to the brush with liquid liners. Well, this is enough rambling. Here's the look:

How do you like dem apples?

So, I haven't really done anything makeup wise in a few days. I've just been feeling a little blah. I decided to play around last night and this is what I came up with. Once again, I used my Truth or Dare Cosmetics pigments. I need to stop using them so much and use something else! My stash has become neglected, haha. Here's the look:

I know I've been a bad blogger! These past couple weeks have been rough. But anyway. Here's a look I came up with yesterday. My day started out with minimal makeup. I just had on mascara, foundation, blush, and lipstick. I got bored and decided to play, and this is what I came up with.... Let me know what you think of the shape I made.

Please excuse my chapped, flakey lips
