Today's Look... Sparkling Green

The look was inspired by another gorgeous eye I saw stumbling around the internet. It was filled with green shades and gold glitter. I wanted to do something super fun and different from what I had been wearing recently, so I decided it was time to bust out some sparkles and pair it with a bold red lip. (The red lipstick and lipglass I am wearing are from the MAC Maleficent collection.)

Today's Look... Snap Shots

Today's look was inspired and created by using Sleek Makeup's Snapshot's palette. My lips were colored with Sleek Makeup's Pout Paint. I will have a review for the Snapshots palette as well as the Paint Pouts follow this.

This look is a very simple, and easy to do. I basically took a family of colors, in this case being blue & green, and blended them to fade into each other. The shimmer in the shadows I used help blend the colors into each other.

Today's Look... 'Wearable' Daytime Look

Today's look is a much more 'wearable' then looks I usually do. Today I wanted my makeup to obviously look good, & make me feel good, but something that took little effort and was easy.

This is also a great look for travelling, simply because every color, expect the blue under my eyes are all included in one palette, Urban Decay's awesome Naked 2.

Today's Look... Rainbow Brite

Last weekend Toronto had their annual Pride Parade supporting the rights of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, & transgender. It is a weekend of celebrating everyone's individuality. In the spirit of showing pride & support I decided to go all out with a rainbow eye look.

Today's Look... Into the Blue

Today's look was inspired by some of the colors found in Sugar Pill's new Heart Breaker palette. I have been extremely excited about this palettes arrival. As most know I am a huge Sugar Pill fan. They produce loose and pressed eyeshadow shades that are full of pigment and bright color. Their creator Shrinkle knew exactly what bright color meant and what people were actually looking for. Knowing her high standards for outstanding quality I was excited to see if the Heart Breaker palette would hold up to expectation.

I will be doing a review for the new Heart Breaker palette very soon, and will try my best not to make this into one by moving on...

Here is my look...

Today's Look...

It has been far too long since I have posted a 'Today's Look'. I want to start making more time to post looks again, considering that is the whole reason why I wanted to start this blog.

Today I am rocking yellow & green. I choose these colors because it is a combo I haven't really worn in a while. I have been using a lot of Sugar Pill products recently due to my excitement about the new Heart Breaker palette that I have coming in the mail.

Today's Look... Mi Vida Loca

Today's look was based off of Kat Von D's Spring 2012 palette; Mi Vida Loca.

This palette is filled with the shades that fill the rainbow. They blend beautifully together to create a colorful, but soft look.

Here is what I managed to come up with...

Today's Look...Gimmie Shelter

Today's look was inspired by Gimmie Shelter by The Rolling Stones. (<3) I wanted to create a really bold, and bright eye, but also include that sexy smokey darkness towards the end.  I love using pruples for smokey eyes. I like to switch it up from the same old black. Dark purples pair beautifully with bright greens. They pair so well together I decided I would use to duo on my eyes to give myself a look that would pop.

Today's Look...Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I hope everyone had a awesome Halloween this year, with tons of candy!

I was sadly disappointed when I found a lack of people and effort put into Halloween. I think it's crazy sad that a yearly tradition is being ruined because of many different reasons, some of which I really prefer not to dive into. It's just disappointing having only a handful of kids come to your door, when you remember going out and people would run out of candy before the night was through. Line ups at doors!! (lol)

Regardless of what everyone else did, I dressed up. Which included my makeup, of course. This year I dressed up as a zombie or dead girl? Bridesmaid? :/

This year I decided to go with a pre-planed look. Not that I don't plan my Halloween look out every year, but this year I had gone with something someone else created. (I tweaked my version for what I was looking for.) It was a face map from MAC that Jangsara had re-created and posted on her blog. (Thank you!) I loved it so much, and Jangsara did such a amazing job at showing how it was created that I had to try it.

Here is a link to her blog to check out her (much better) amazing version... here.

Todays Look... Dirtyy Blue

 I am in mad love with this look. (Ha, props to me!) I just really love this shade of blue. I knew I wanted to use this color for sure, and maintained the crisp-ness with white on the lid.

This look is hella easy to create, however is propably not for everyone. It is very bright and bold. However you can always switch colors in and out of a look, and control how dramatic or bold you would like it to be.

Today's Look... Helena Beat

Today my makeup was a struggle. This was the second attempt at it for the day. I originally was using green, blue and purple, but in the end decided to narrow the lid color to blue and purple, and bring the green down to my lower lid.

The colors I used where inspired from some other amazing looks I have seen recently. I named it Helena Beat because today I have been obsessed with that song by Foster the People. (lol) <3

Today's Look... Yellow-Orange Cat Eyes

Last Friday I did a look called Yellow Cat Eyes, which you can check out here. I had said that I did a different rendition of the same look and would post it later on the same day. Well, unfortunately I didn't post it on Friday, however I will do so now. I have cleverly (yeah right) called it Yellow-Orange Cat Eyes. (lol)

Here is what it looks like...

Today's Look... Yellow Cat Eyes

Today's look was inspired from two things. One being that fact it's already Fall, and my favorite holiday, which isn't really a holiday Halloween is fast approaching, fitting right in theme with the Yellow Cat Eye. (Yellow being the shade of shadow and cat being the crazy liner.) The second reason being, and truly the original reason, is this craptacular weather we have today. It is so grey, dark and gloomy. Sometime I do like these rainy days, but today I am not feeling it. I wanted to do a really bright, and out there look to contrast the day.

This look had to do with a lot of experimentation. I just wanted something boardering edgy and fun.

Note: I don't think I would actually wear the lip stick out, its a little bit too pale for my liking. Once I went to work I replaced the lipstick in the photos with a nice pink.

Here's what I came up with...

Too Faced Lockdown Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow Review

Our effortless, water-resistant cream shadow formula combines the drama of deep, intense metallic pigment with our anti-crease Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer for a sophisticated, shimmering shadow that won’t fade or smudge. Versatile enough to wear alone for stunning shine or as a shadow base for buildable beauty.

A week or two ago I was snooping around the Too Faced website when I decided to treat myself to a new makeup item. It feels like its been so long since I have done a actual review I owed it to myself and to you.

One of the items I decided to go with was Too Faced Lockdown Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow. It's a cream based eyeshadow. You can wear it as a shadow on its own, or you can use it as a base under other colors.

Today's Look... Black Tie Party

Today I wanted to do something fancy, but nothing too hard or time consuming. I wanted to do a sexy look that could and would probably be worn out at night to a event. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I love the shade of silvery grey I used.

Here's what is looks like...

Urban Decay: Quickie; Afterglow Check Tint Review

Finally! Sheer, buildable cheek tints that glide on and feel weightless – (never heavy or greasy like your grandma’s cream blush). Our techy-feeling tint applies effortlessly on top of any foundation or bare skin… no pulling or rubbing needed to make it look right. And you’ll never get that powdery, cakey look that sometimes comes from powder blush. Our modern, yummy shades include a shameless hot pink, a super-healthy berry and natural peachy tints, to name a few. The formula is loaded with good-for-you ingredients like Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Vitamin A, so your skin gets nourished and protected. The color goes on more sheer than it looks in the pan, but since its so buildable, YOU control how much you want to blush. We also love to blend two shades together to mimic a natural flushed effect. Whether you’ve been a fan of cream blush in the past or not, the shades, the silky formula and the little foil snake on the top of our compact will definitely make you a believer.

Included in a lot of my Sephora shopping experiences comes samples. Some I could care less about and other actually excite me to try. This sample was one of the few I was actually looking forward to. I got a sample for Urban Decays Afterglow Cream Blush. Unlike many blushes this one is cream based allowing you to place color exactly where you want, and build up the color on your cheeks.

This sample came in a very tiny little dot, with the signature Urban Decay purple paper wrapped around it. The shade I received is called Quickie. Quickie is bright barbie pink.

Today's Look... In Too Deep

The look I did today was basically one idea that didn't exactly work out. I was aiming for a smokey blue eye. I wanted to use different shades of blue, maybe a bit of black. However this slow transformed into something else. The plan was not to have as much color, and not as dramatic. Some how it changed into a green-blue-yellow look, that got out of control.

Oh the love of experimenting and having fun! Here's what it looks like...

Today's Look... Green Smoke (Wicked Witch of the West)

Today's Look... Gold Slick

Continuing in the theme of gold today, I wanted to try something I have never done before. Ive seen people like Kat Von D, and other bloggers online try somewhat the same look. Basically what I did was have my right eye look different from my left eye, but still kinda match. Ill show you what I mean...

I decided to go with black and gold, being two classic color that look great on most eyes. Also using black or a darker shade allowed me more room to create a smokey effect. I really like the way it turned out. :)
