*90 days of Makeup challenge! Day 90!*

Zombies!

Here I go! My first post in my 90 days of makeup challenge. I am doing this to ulitilze my growing stash and force myself to use makeup I've never touched or barely touch before buying more!

Here's today's look! I did very little in terms of face makeup today! I usually don't wear makeup during the week unless I'm doing a look, so I decided to keep it light.

The Goods:

(eyeshadow from Urban Decay's 15th Anniversary palette)
 UDPP in "Sin" all over lid
"M.I.A." main lid
"Ace" bledned into crease
"Deeper" blended above crease
"Vanilla" as highlight
"Deep End" lower lash line
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
Milani baked blush in "Rose D'oro"

Lips:
Silk Naturals lip stain in "Vamp"

Whew, one day down...let's see how this goes!

Silk Naturals Fall 2011 Collection!

Happy Sunday Zombies!

I'm so excited. The TV show PamAm premiers tonight so I'm going to try and hurry this post along, so I can watch it. :D Anyone else excited about this show?

I was lucky enough to receive some of the new Fall 2011 Collection from Silk Naturals and wanted to swatch everything for you.




Cream Blushes:

Various Lippies:

Swatches:






I was extremely worried about trying Cherry Bomb on my face, until I swatched it on my hand. As you can see, it blends out quite nice, leaving a subtle hint of color.  Though, I still don't know how this will look on my skin tone. Amuse is an amazing coral color and gorgeous when blended out.


My favorites eyeshadow of this group are: (descriptions take from website)

Glory:  Glory- Golden Taupe Glimmer 
Kingfisher- deep teal shimmer- EL (eyelight)
Burnout- Deep Burgundy Shimmer
Ether- Lavender- EL

"Provoke" Amplifying Lip Glaze has an amazing minty smell and zing to it once on your lips. It's also a gorgeous color.

I LOVE Vamp (Deep Plum Red Stain) lip stain. the color is really good for my complexion. It's not *IN YOUR FACE* burgundy and really does stain evenly, and lasts for a long time. See for yourself!


Silk Naturals offers eyeshadow for $4.00. You receive 3/4 teaspoon in a 5-gram sifter jar.

Cream Blush and lippies are $4.50.

Have you purchased anything from the new Fall Collection? What are your thoughts?

The 7 Deadly Sins...Envy and Kindness

ZOMBIES!

And yet another installment of "7 Deadly Sins vs. Virtues" is upon us!

I am ENVY!

–noun

1.a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.

2.an object of envious  feeling: Her intelligence made her the envy of her classmates.

3.Obsolete . ill will.

I feel like hell warmed over today. I have a nasty head cold and a migraine and my baby son destroyed my favorite eyeliner. *sigh* So, I am envious today of people who feel good and live on some tropical island, sipping Pina Colada's!

I iz Green with ENVY!



I can't TAKE it anymore! *Calgon...take me away!*






The Goods:

UDPP in "Sin" all over lid and lower lash line
NYX jumbo pencil in "Milk" blended into primer
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Suicide Trees" blended into crease
Silk Naturals "Poly" added to main lid and blended down onto cheek
Silk Natirals "Go" lower lash line
Aromaleigh "Champagne Toast" under eyebrow and to highlight
Urban Decay liner in "Flipside" water line
Random liners and mascara

I used a black kohl eyeliner to create the "smeared" look and blended eyeshadow into it with a flat liner brush.

At first on my lips I had Morgana's Cryptoria "Enchanted Emerald" but it wouldn't stay in place, so, I just added a glittery gloss.

I also added a little Hard Candy "Living Doll" to my cheeks

So, you want to see Envy's polar opposite "Kindness?!" You'll have to head on over to The Eyes Have It All blog to check out Amanda's take on it. I will update you once her look is live.

Have a good night Zombies. I'm off to die.in.bed.

More Pink Lipstick SWATCHES!

Hi Zombies!

I decided to show off a few more of my favorite lippies. I seem to have a plethora of pinks and magenta's with blue shifts. So, I decided to just swatch them to see just how similar they all look. I found, that though some are similar, there are considerable differences. Check em' out for yourself!

I had to amp up the contrast on this pic, because my camera didn't want to photograph it. There is very much a blue shift with this lippie.

I was able to snag this bad boy from Rach at The Beauty Spot!


Do you own any of these lipstick? Which are your favorites?
