Darling Girl Cosmetics Watercolor Paint Pot "American Gothic" look

A very simple, sparkly look featuring Darling Girl cosmetics "American Gothic" Watercolor Paint Pot. The Watercolor Paint Pots (WPP) are super soft, almost whipped like, cream eyeshadows. I've found that using a brush sheers the color, so I like to use a brush to swipe on the first semi-sheer layer and let that set for a minute. Then I apply a second layer by patting the WPP on the eyelid with my finger to build up the opacity. One tip I would recommend is to use a brush to blend out the edges before the final layer sets, that way you won't be left with any harsh edges.

The Darling Girl website says:

"Watercolor Paint Pots can be used  as a stand alone color or as a base to enhance whatever color you layer over it.Watercolor Paint Pots have a soft creamy consistency; they are not water proof, but once set, they are pretty smudge proof.  They have almost a cream-to-powder effect. Simply apply your regular primer. Using a stiff-bristled brush, apply a thick line along the lash line and blend out."

American Gothic: A shimmery, metallic, pink toned beige with pink and purple sparkles/glitter.

 Since putting together this post Susan has taken down the listing for American Gothic. There are other really beautiful WPP so I suggest checking them out the WPP section on the DG website.

**This was bought by me BEFORE I became a Darling Girl model for the Pick Of The Week. No discount code was used on this purchase.**

For this look I used:

ELF Eyelid Primer

Wet n Wild "Brulee" on the browbone

DG "American Gothic" on the lid

Maybelline Line Stiletto liquid liner in black

Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara in black

L'Oreal Bare Natural powder foundation

WnW Silk Finish lipstick "Fuchsia with Blue Pearl"

A look from Mother's Day

Sensing a trend here? Lol I'm trying to go through the back log of pictures on my computer. This look is from Mother's Day. All I know is that I'm wearing all Meow Cosmetics, but I don't know what specifically. The only thing I do know is that the Lipstick is Hot Paris Pink from Wet n Wild.

Maybelline In Style Sienna Lipstick!

Never in a million years would I have thought I would wear brown lipstick. With green shimmer no less. But Lord have mercy! I am in love with In Style Sienna from the limited edition Fall Runway collection by Maybelline. I bought In Style Sienna a couple months ago at Walgreens, since then they have sold out of the entire display. CVS on the other hand has a FULL display. So they're still out there if you're on the lookout!

Meow Monday! Summer Spirits orange look

A few days ago we took Gabe to Noe Valley for lunch. I got to test drive an early birthday present (dress) from Marz and try out some of my new Meow.

I applied Elf eyelid primer and Darling Girl glitter glue before patting Mimosa on the lid, Jungle Juice in the crease and outer corner and Wet n Wild Brûlée in the inner corner and browbone. For my face I wore Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch sunblock (amazing! I love this, didn't break me out at all!) Elf tinted moisturizer in Porcelain and L'oreal Bare Natural mineral makeup in Light Ivory. To top off the look I tried out MAC Full Speed lipstick (swatches soon).

Femme Fatale Friday! Archangel and Smokebomb

I was inspired by a look I found on Phyrra's pinterest, her post is here.

I made mine less smokey as I wanted Archangel to be the main focus. Unfortunately I used a sample of Sephora brand Perfecting Eye Primer, and while it felt nice and kept my eyeshadow from creasing, it didn't make the colors vibrant like my favorite $1 ELF eyelid primer does.

Anyways! I applied the Sephora primer then patted on Femme Fatale Archangel on the lid. I used a nameless matte, taupish-grey by ELF in the crease and FFC Smokebomb to deepen the outer corner. Black mascara, eyeliner, and MUFE lashes to finish the eye look.

ELF tinted moisturizer in Porcelain with Almay Clear Complexion Concealor in Light. And for my lips I tried out MAC Creme Cup.
