Flashback Friday...HAIR HAIR HAIR

TGIF Zombies!

While I am not a "mommy blogger" I follow quite a few mommy blogs, because I absolutely enjoy their blogs. One of my favorites is Christopher and Tia. Tia is the most amazing writer and her children are just adorable. I can relate a lot to her, because we're similar in a few ways. I thought I'd do a little something fun that I got from her blog.

Here I am at 21. Look at that blond hair! Oh, and my shirt says "Strangers have the BEST candy!" Yes. Even then I colored outside the lines. SORRY MOM!



And here I am at 4, looking just like my daughter does now.



THIS is my natural hair color when I was 18! (that's the last time I've seen my real hair!) Look at that "dude, Mom, just take the picture already" face.



So all of this leads me to THIS:


I want to go back to blond and my husband kinda digs it. But as you know, red is SUPER hard to remove from hair, which is why I've never gone back to blond. I need all the suggestions you can give me for getting back to the color in the picture above.

Wasn't this fun!? Please check out Chrisptoher and Tia's blog and play along!

Who says they can't go together..Yellow, Hot Pink, and Avocado Green!

Hey Zombies!

One day closer to Friday! Can I get a woot woot?

Today I asked on Facebook and Twitter for people to name 3 wild colors that *shouldn't* normally go together. This time I got some kick ass suggestions.

I went with:

CinnamonCandies: (via Twitter) uhmm hot pink, goldenrod yellow and avocado green!

I made sure she meant the RIND of an avocado. Oh and she also said (and these are her exact words) "If you can make those three work - I will re-post it and give you kudos all month! LOL"

I dunno peeps...Did I do it?









The Goods:

UDPP in Sin all over lid
NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk lightly blended into lid
Bright yellow from 88 palette
Fyrinnae "Banana Mochi" over yellow and into lower lash line
Bright pink from 76 palette blended into crease and into lower lash line
Mixed beight and medium green from 88 palette above crease
Morgana Cryptoria "Alexandria" over greens
Fyrinnae "Pyromantic Erotica" blended into outer V
MAC "Shroom" as highlight and to blend out edges
Random liners and mascara

Cheeks:
Milani baked blush in Rose D'Oro

Lips:
Blended Rimmel "Paradise" and Cover Girl "Spellbound" to create a muted bright pink

This was SO much fun to create. I just LOVE how this brings out the green in my eyes.

I am DOLLY!

Zombies!

Just for shits, I made myself into a creeeeepy doll today. I am wondering, is this worth recreating (BETTER) and showing you what all I used? It's time like these I wish I had some wigs!





What do you think? Should I do it again? Any tips on how I can improve it?

Eyelashes and wigs...for sure!

Swatch Spam! Just random FUN and DUPES!

Hey Zombies!

Who's ready for a little:



?

I am going to just jump right in and let the swatches speak for themselves! And PLEASE click images for maximum awesomesauce!

First up: I placed a small order with Silk Naturals to pick up 4 dupes that they have in their line.



Breathe: Urban Decay "Asphyxia" dupe
Poly: MAC "Parrot" dupe
Martian: NARS "Habenera" dupe
Tart Blush: Bobbi Brown "Raspberry" dupe

The colors are gorgeous!

I have been on the hunt for a good "wine" colored matte lippie and found Revlon's "Wine Not" the other day at my local drugstore. SCORE!






And last but not least, I was sent 2 of the new Milani baked blush, and 2 of the baked eyeshadow to swatch fot you all. CHECK them out!




Have you tried any of these great products?

I hope you're all having a terrific evening! Until next time!

*All items were purchased with my own money with the exception of the Milani baked products which were sent to me for review.*

Graffiti Face Cosmetics Review, Swatches, and LOTD!

Hey Zombies!

How was your weekend? Mine was a blur and ended way too soon. At least the weather is getting warmer.

A few weeks back, I was contacted by Amber with Graffiti Face Cosmetics and asked if I'd do a review of her new company.

I was sent "Strawberry Moon" and "Nebula" for review.





I very much like that the ingredients are printed on labels and placed on the bottom of the jars. I couldn't locate the shadow names on the jars, but upon contacting Amber, I was told that labels are changing and the names will be on new labels on each eyeshadow in the near future. 



Strawberry Moon is a lovely light pink with slight yellow shift. Nebula is a blackened blue with an nice aqua shift/sparkles. The eyeshadow is light and easy to blend. While not extremely complex, they are still very lovely. I can also tell they are not repackaged.

(I did not use a primer or base when swatching. These swatches are on bare skin.)





I did a simple look today with Strawberry Moon on the lid and Nebula in the crease and on the lower lash line. They were both very blend-able and easy to work with.





Graffiti Face Cosmetics offers just a handful of colors that this moment which are $4.00 a full size jar, but Amber is in the process of creating more colors and products for her company, including blush, lip gloss, and lipstick. I am excited to watch Graffiti Face grow. OH and check them out on Facebook!

Have you tried Graffiti Face?


*the above products were sent to me for review purposes only. Opinions are my own.*

Swatch Spam! MOAR Silk Naturals!

Hey Zombies,

It's FRIDAY!! *FIST PUMPS!*

Who's ready for a little:



?

I placed an order with Silk Naturals last week and got them early this week. Just thought I'd swatch them for you. I received a few extra goodies with my order, and a GWP (gift with purchase (thanks twitter and FB!) in the shade "Shake It."

Oh and I added some fun pictures at the end of the post too!







My favorites of this bunch are Scandal, Butterfly Blue, Nice Girl, Nekkid (which is a MAC "Naked Lunch" dupe), Hug Me, and Romp.  Again, very happy with my Silk Naturals loot.

Since Spring is definitely here in Albuquerque, I took a moment to stop and smell the flowers this morning.



I also enjoyed watching my daughter swing in the tree swing! Ahh to be a kid again!



Get out this weekend and have some fun!

Who likes BLUE?! I do! I DO?

Zombies!

I am SOOO excited about this look! I asked on MZ's Facebook page for 2 colors that normally don't go together. And with all the imput, I decided that I'd do a BLUE look that didn't look like it belonged in the 1980's. I will let you decide if I suceeded!

I personally think it's hot. lol
