In other news, I went to Ross and found some cute stuff!! Ugh this always happens to me! I keep telling myself I need to stop buyin shit but I swear I'll go on my no buy after I come back from vacation in like 3 weeks! But I found this super cute zebra print drawer thingy



It's made out of Maize? or that's what the tag says it's supposed to be eco friendly which is a plus but either way it's really cute! I thought about putting my make up int here but the drawers are too deep for me I think I'm gonna use it for my accessories or something like belts, hats whatever. There was even a little ottoman thingy that was zebra print too but I already have one and it was a little on the expensive side!



And the second thing I got was a little ring holder! It was only $3.50 and it's shaped like a ballet flat! I don't have very many rings so it's a good size for me. That was pretty much it but I'll leave you with this picture of my dog. He's being a TOTAL butthead to me lately and not listening at all! Look at him he looks like a bad boy! lol

As promised, here's a post! lol I haven't done one of these in such a long time I completely forgot to take a picture of my eyes closed! I didn't like it at first because it reminded me of the Lakers! But it actually came out really nice! The pic is from one of my last days with my honey - he's deploying to Iraq & he left for training a week ago. =[ Normally I would cut him out but it's a good picture of me & I miss him LOL! I used Bright Future and Vibrant Grape from the MAC Style Warriors collection last June. It looks like I barely touched them so I thought I'd bust them out.

I'll do my collection/swatches post soon. Should I just post my collection in one long post or spread it out? lol I'm just too lazy to pull everything out and take pics but I really want to just for my reference too so I can remind myself how much I really don't need any more make up! (Even though the addiction will never stop!)

Speaking of addiction, the MAC Spring Colour Forecast comes out this week! I think I might be able to resist this one but judging by everyones swatches I know I want to get Victorian L/S for sure! Maybe the Blush Ombres too just because they look so cool! I think it would've been cooler if they had the different "forecasts" have colored packaging! Like pink, purple, coral, amber. That would've been so cute! But owell MAC good thing you didn't so I don't have to be suckered it!

And also speaking of cute packaging...Check out this promo pic I found from lushiousbeauty.nl!



It's supposedly a MAC collection coming out this Summer called "Back to the Beach." Wish I knew the details it looks so cooool! Not a big fan of the orange packaging (IDK why they keep using it!) but the little seahorse is so cute! I wish I could understand her website because it looks like she has so much good information on there!

And one last thing, I'm jealous nobodys asking me questions on formspring so ask me anything! lol

I am SO unoriginal when it comes to naming FOTDs! lol I did this look this weekend and I'm really happy with the way it came out! =]

So I finally got around to playing with the Eyeko shadows I got and I decided to use mostly Eyeko products for this FOTD. Before I get into the FOTD, I wanted to talk about the eyeshadows. I'm going to be honest, these are not the best pigmented eyeshadows. They're actually kind of sheer. BUT! I think the lighter colors make AWESOME highlighters. So there's good and there's bad. The eyeshadow cake reminds me of Pop Beauty Eye Cake eyeshadows if you've ever seen them at Ulta [I think at Sephora too?] They're in a circular tin can and it looks like this:



I looked at the one in Ulta and it's actually REALLY similar to the Eyeko ones - esp the weight and the pigmentation. SO if you were thinking about getting these at all I would definitely recommend buying Eyeko! The Pop shadows are $19, but the Eyeko ones are only 5 British pounds which equals roughly $7 - 8. Here are swatches


no base


UDPP as base

As you can see, the base just makes it slightly more pigmented. I think these colors are great for beginners who aren't used to super pigmented shadows or if you like to do really soft daytime looks. On to the FOTD! Here's what I used

OPEN - sorry forgot to open the quad lol

LIPS

+ CLEAR Lipglass

The Strawberry Fat Balm is my faaaave out of all three balms its the PREEEETIEST cheek color and it doesn't look that bad on the lips. PLUS it smells like heaven. I'll do a separate post on it and the mascara!

I did this EOTD a few weeks ago and I forgot to post it! It's kind of dramatic for me but I kind of like it! I think it's a good night look. I'm posting this as an EOTD cause I can't remember everything else on my face! LOL I only used 3 colors on this. I didn't have a nice 'smokey purple' color so I used Nocturnelle & tried to put Carbon over it to darken the color then used more Carbon to deepen the crease.





EYES
+ PAINTERLY P/P [base]
+ GESSO E/S [all over lid]
+ NOCTURNELE E/S [outer v & crease]

Heyyy! So I know I said I would update more since it's break but it's been crazy with work! But I really liked this FOTD so I haaad to post it [cause I'll probably forget the color combo later!] But I really liked the pink/red/purple look and when I threw on the pink lipstick it reminded me of a barbie doll! It was really simple and it turned out really cute, I think. I wish my camera didn't wash out the colors though because they're always a little brighter in person!
