Maybelline: Smokey Cinnamon Look

For this look I used Maybelline Eyestudio Smokey Cinnamon quad. It came out in the Fall Runway collection in 2012. I don't remember anything else I used for this look, sorry!

 

Wet n Wild: Subtle Shimmery Look

This is a look using the Wet n Wild Nude Awakening palette that came out Spring 2013.

Happy BIrthday to me! EOTD

Okay, okay... My Birthday was over a month ago (21st birthday on the 21st! WOOT) But I really like this look so I'm gonna share it! It was done with the Femme Fatale Valentine's Day Collection for 2012.

The pictures are pretty bad, my camera died a while ago and I've been using my phone since then. Usually I think they come out pretty good, I ran out of light though and had to use the flash for these :(

China Glaze Glitter Goblin!

A couple weeks ago I went to Sally Beauty Supply and saw this lovely from the "Wicked" Halloween collection, naturally I had to get it. Limited edition. Halloween. Glitter. HOLO. I mean, come on! I HAD to get it. I couldn't wait to wear it, so I slapped 3 coats on top of the reddish-bronze I was already wearing. This is with no topcoat.

Meow Monday! My Favorite Meow Blushes

I'm a cool toned, fair, Irish girl with naturally pink cheeks. I didn't think I needed blush since I get flushed easily, but after falling in love with Meow's formula I wear blush all the time! These are my favorite Meow blushes. All were applied with an eyeshadow brush over foundation and lightly buffed out.

Descriptions

Anana: "Watermelon pink with sun kissed peach iridescence." Lost Rainforest collection Blush. I don't see much peach, but it is the perfect deep pink!

Snarky: "Bright pure glowing coral with subtle iridescence." Wild Child collection Blush.

Limbo: "Feather light pure cantaloupe yum." Caribbean Escape blushction Blush. I find it to be more coral-y orange than cantaloupe.

Hang Up: "sheer juicy peach with gold iridescence." Wild Child collection Blush.

A Lick & A Promise: "Cherry/Rose." This makes me think of delicate light pink cherry blossoms with a silvery blue sheen.

Corona: "The ideal ultra sheer wash of luminous glowing gold/bronze sheen For fair/light skin tones." Del Sol Metallic Mineral Bronzers. These come in three shades for different skin tones and have a translucent base so they can be used as glow powders or bronzers.

Lemonade: "clear crisp lemon drenched PINK." Pink Inc collection Blush. Lovely yellow/warm toned light pink blush with silvery sheen and subtle gold shimmer.

Phantoma: "Apricot - melon shade with hints of hot pink iridescence." Lost Rainforest collection Glow Powder. I find it to be more of a pale apricot with copper shimmer.

Chameleon: "So mysterious it can't be photographed! The crown jewel of our first-ever line of iridescent glow powders, this innocent looking white mineral powder transforms to gleaming gold/copper shine!" Lost Rainforest collection Glow Powder.

Metallic Splatter Mani

For this mani I used 1 coat of basecoat, 2 coats of NYC Sidewalkers and splattered OPI Take The Stage, OPI Rising Star and China Glaze Golden Meringue.

Soooo... I think in theory this is a lovely mani. In real life? Not so much. While NYC Sidewalkers is an awesome shiny polish I think it has too much yellow in it to go with the coppery gold colors. Anyways, I wasn't impressed with it, but I think with some tweaking it could be awesome.

NTMS Challenge: Blix Re-Mix Look

This week on the Never Too Much Sparkle! facebook group the challenge look was to recreate a look by the talented Blix from Glitter is my Crack.

This is the look I was inspired by:

For my look I used:
ELF eyelid primer
Darling Girl Glitter Glue
Meow Peace on Earth in inner corner
Femme Fatale Holiday Spices on inner third of lid
Darling Girl Candy Corn Pixie Sprinkles glitter on middle third of lid
Shiro Divine Justice on outer third of lid
WnW matte dark brown on outer corner
Darling Girl Boy Crazy blush
Sweet Treat Candy Corn lip gloss

Oh man Sweet Treat Cosmetics lip gloss is amazing! They smell soooo good! Candy Corn smells like marshmallows to me. And they have this non-sticky, non-slippery but somewhat "squishy" texture. I plan on owning one of every flavor >.>

  This OPI Warm and Fozzie from the Muppets collection for Holiday 2011. 1 coat of base, 3 of Warm and Fozzie.
