Wet n Wild: Subtle Shimmery Look

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

MAC Creme Cup lipstick swatches

Everyone and their mama has MAC Creme Cup, and they all say that it's a 'your lips but better' light pink. They're right. It's totally pretty and the perfect everyday lip color. Is it worth $15 though? Not at all. Wet n Wild 901b Think Pink is ever so slightly more yellow toned and obviously is a matte. If that doesn't bother you though I think you'd be much happier with WnW's $1.99 price versus MAC's $15.

Single swatch is MAC Creme Cup by itself.

Swatches bottom to top are: WnW 902c Bare It All, WnW 901b Think Pink, MAC Creme Cup, WnW 372s Within These Adobe Walls and Covergirl Natureluxe 205 Tulip.

Simple Sunday: Wet n Wild nude matte look with purple!

For this look I used the Wet n Wild I <3 Matte palette to create a nude look. I put the tan shade on my eyelid, the brown in the crease and the nude color on my browbone. I then used Meow Cosmetics Fairy eyeshadow from the Christmas Sugarplum collection as my winged liner and Darling Girl Indigo as the inner corner highlight.And for my lips I used Revlon Lip Butter in Sugarplum.

Simple Sunday: Darling Girl Jeweled Taupe

Today I was thinking about how on days when I don't have time to do complex looks, or it's not appropriate to wear bright colors, I tend to not wear any makeup at all. There's nothing wrong with not wearing makeup (I don't wear it 75% of the time) but I'd still like to wear something for that little *oomph* makeup gives to your outfit and confidence. Sundays are going to be reserved for simple, easy, natural(ish) looks.

I recently met Marz' cousin when he came to visit while touring the California coast with his band. I try not to scare off future family members with crazy makeup the first time we meet, so I went with a shimmery, subdued look focused around my new love; Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop. 

I Used:

Darling Girl Glitter Glue

 WnW matte nude on browbone

DGC Jeweled Taupe all over lid

WnW matte white in inner corner

Evil Shades Dreamspeaker on lower lashline

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

Maybelline mascara

Jardana Purple eyeliner to fill in brows

 Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop

I'm hoping to do a Simple Sunday look every week. I'm curious what your guys' interpretation on "simple" is? A classic look? Looking like you're not wearing makeup? Only using a few colors?

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.

Darling Girl Cosmetics Christmas look

This look was done with Donner from the Darling Deer holiday collection by Darling Girl Cosmetics. And Berry Merry blush from the same collection. That's all I'm wearing aside from WnW matte nude on the browbone and matte white on the inner corner, Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper and Maybelline Great Lash "Lots of Lashes".

 The blush doesn't show up in my pictures for some reason...
