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!

Putting It to the Test: Maybelline Color Tattoo

I'm sure most of you, if not all of you, know about the Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows. Many people are comparing these to MAC's paintpots. Not only are they a good dupe for the paintpots, but they are also better, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong. I love my painterly paintpot, but I prefer the colors and wear of the Maybelline compared to MAC. Maybelline claims that the color tattoo creams are 24 hour wear. I decided to put this to the test to see if they can hold up for 24 hours without primer on oily eye lids. The color I chose to test out is Pomegranate Punk. This test ran for a full 24 hours with pictures throughout the 24 hours.

Bare eye. No primer.

After application. Pomegranate Punk and Mascara.

4 hours in

12 hours. See the bit of creasing?

24 hours and after sleeping.

As you can see, the product didn't start creasing on me until around 12 hours. Even then you couldn't see it with the eye open. Honestly, I couldn't see it until the picture was taken. This was after me doing dishes and cleaning the house and sweating. At the 24 hour mark hardly any product was left and there was definitely more creasing. If I had applied a primer this would probably have stayed on longer without creasing. I do believe it holds up longer than most 24 hour products claim; however, if you have oily lids you may want to consider using a primer so it does not crease on you. Most people would not leave on a product for 24 hours anyway, so this product will definitely last 12 hours or more.

I love these shadows, and I plan on getting one in every color. They make excellent bases and shadows alone. Do you have any of the color tattoo shadows? Which one is your favorite?

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:
