LOTD

Yesterday I went to the local park with my boyfriend, and we took some cute pictures. I wore a cranberry sweater and tied my makeup look to compliment it (not match it).

And before the next photo, let me fill you in. I tried to do those super huge anime buns ( I really wanted to do something different), and they looked good but very bizarre. They were just too over the top for the outfit, day, and occasion.

Cute, but I felt like Maleficent.

 Here is what I transformed that teased mess into:

The products I used are:

Maybelline Pure Makeup Classic Ivory Light 2

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer samplie in NW20 (using a damp concealer brush)

Jane Eye Zing in 02 Dazzle

NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown (I used Nude and Dark Brown)

Origins Halo Effect Illuminator

Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Rockstar and Zero

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

Maybelline The Falsies blackest black

Urban Decay Primer Potion

A Few Looks from Last Week

I used the Wet n Wild Palette in Vanity for these. I've really really been enjoying it for multiple looks.

For this look, I actually took the pictures after nine hours of wear so sadly, it's not nearly as pretty as when it was first applied for this look I used:

• Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation in Light 2 Classic Ivory
• Stila Smudge Pot in Violet
• MAC E/S in Beautiful Iris
• MAC E/S in Electra
• MAC Pro Longwear Concealer sample in NW20
• Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero
• Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black
• Maybelline The Falsies in blackest black
• NYX e/s in Morocco
• Almay Blendable Eye Pencil in navy(?)

March 16, 2009 LOTW: Frosted Violets

For my first Look of the Week (daily is too much), I was inspired by this picture of violets in the snow. While I didn't go literal with dark purples, blues, and a hint of yellow, I did go with soft frosty purples and metallics.
