Frosty Pink, Black, and Silver + Ombre lips!

Good afternoon Zombies!

I hope you've all been well! It's been quite an interesting Fall here in New Mexico! 9 degree weather? What's that!? We've had it and I've been freezing.....

To go along with the icy weather, I thought I'd do a dramatic icy makeup look for fun. I threw some ombre pink and black lips in for good measure! I quite like the final look, as the ombre lips made me feel fierce! ;)










The Goods:
TFSI as primer
Milani "Lovely Frost" Shadow Eyez as base and in water line
Silver from the Wet N Wild "Blue Had Me at Hello" palette on main lid
Matte and glittery black (mixed) from the Wet N Wild "Blue Had Me at Hello" palette in crease
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Sound Check" for pink above crease, inner corner, and on lower lash line
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Fleur Power" blush

Ombre lips:
MAC "Candy Yum Yum" as base
Jordana Cosmetics Glitter Rocks eyeliner in "Black Rocks" as outline

Press your lips together to transfer the black into the pink. Use a lip brush to blend the black more evenly into the pink to create the ombre effect. Once you've done that, outline the lips once more with the black.

And there you have it! Easy peasy ombre lips.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

 

Cherry Melt Down, LOTD!

Zombies!

It's hump day! And I actually did my makeup! ANDDD wanted to share it with you too. #winning

It's quite odd for me to gravitate toward more neutral eyeshadow shades, but lately, I tend to reach for more muted and golden shades.  Of course, I still love my sparkle and shimmer! I've also really been enjoying pairing a rich lip with neutral eyes.

Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream in "Light"
Milani "Luminous" blush

Eyes:
Milani eyeshadow primer
Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadow base in "Fluff" over primer

I Am Pain, LOTD!

ZOMBIES!

Monday? Again? Wasn't it just Monday last week?

I did at least do a little makeup this weekend, because I actually had a bit of extra time. I wanted to use the new Jordana eyeshadow pencils, and some of the new colors from Darling Girl's Halloween (Oh the Horror) 2013 collection so I came up with the following look. 

I WILL have swatches of the colors that Susan sent me from the 'Oh the Horror' collection soon! PROMISE! 











The Goods:

TFSI as primer
Jordana Made to Last eyeshadow pencil in "Stay on Black" as base. My base did not crease or cake my eyeshadow. Impressed!
Darling Girl "I am Pain" patted over black base all over lid
Darling Girl "Invisible Man" inner corner
Darling Girl "The Count" added to crease and blended
Darling Girl "I am Pain" blended above crease
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" for highlight (this is my favorite highlight color of all time)
Jordana Made to last eyeshadow pencil in "Aqua Last" added to waterline and lower lash line
Darling Girl "I am Pain" patted over "Aqua Last" on lower lash line
Random liner and mascara to finish

Cheeks:
Stila "Garden Bliss" all over shimmer powder

Lips:
Darling Girl "Bewitched" lip gloss. (This was from a few Halloween collections ago.)

There is just something about deep blues and bright pinks that I love. I can't put my finger on it.

Do you own any colors from Oh the Horror? What are your favotites?

Darling Girl Cosmetics "F*bomb"!

Hey Zombies!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know I did. :)

Lately, I've been leeming an ocean blue/green eyeshadow shade with a gold shift. I asked Susan from Darling Girl Cosmetics if she could possibly create something fun for me, and she DID!! ...and then I went and bought 4 of them! We agreed on the name F*bomb because, well... I drop them often. :D I thought I'd show you how amazing it is.

New Mexico Sunset, LOTD.

Good morning Zombies!

I actually did a full makeup yesterday and wanted to share it with you. I was inspired by my love of the New Mexico skies. Though I didn't incorporate all the colors you'll see in a sunset here, the more I added to this look, the more it reminded me of a summer evening sky here. So, that's my story.
