Wet n Wild: Anti-Valentine's Day Look

I'll have a couple of Valentine's Day looks later this week, but in the mean time I have an anti-V Day look! I used Darling Girl Glitter Glue and patted the Wet n Wild trio Three's A Party on top. I finished with Wet n Wild black liquid liner and Maybelline Lots of Lashes mascara.

Darling Girl Valentine's Day Look with Phobos and a Tutorial!!!

I really loved the way the Positively Peachy look came out the other day, so I tired the same technique but with one of my new Darling Girl Stardusts in Phobos. Seriously the two Stardusts I have are amazing! Not only are they sparkly and shimmery, but they shift colors and have duochromey-ness. I've got my eye on Callisto next.

This is a picture heavy post and the tut is down at the bottom :)

 Eeek! I've never done a tutorial before, so bear with me please!

1. Apply primer and a sticky nude base all over the eyelid. I'm using DG Primped and Primed which acts as both primer and base.



2. Apply a black base to the outer V and crease. Then a white base to the inner corner. I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate and Cottage Cheese.



3. Blend the bases together with your finger or a brush. I used a small, flat concealer brush.




4. Pat your shimmery/shifty/duochrome eyeshadow on top of the bases. I used DG Phobos from the new Stardust collection.



5. Blend out the crease and apply your browbone highlight. For this look I decided to keep a harsh edge, but used Wet n Wild Creme Brulee on my browbone.



6. Swipe on a cream or liquid liner to create a cat eye. I used Maybelline Line Stiletto.




7. If you like apply eyeliner, I used Wet n Wild Coloricon in black.





8. Curl lashes and apply mascara. I used my favorite Revlon Extra Curl eyelash curler and Smashbox Full Exposure mascara.

Hope that was helpful. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

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 :(

Darling Girl Valentine's Day Sweetheart Collection swatches

Like all Darling Girl reviews, this will be short and sweet. Everything Susan makes is absolutely amazing. Formulas are soft and buttery and pack a pigmented punch! A note on the lip swatch though. I apply my lip products super thick which makes lipstick, or in this case lip balms, look patchy in photos (especially darker colors). In person I never notice any unevenness or bald spots.

All swatches were done over foundation except where it says "GG" meaning it was swatched over Darling Girl Glitter Glue.

Descriptions:

Promise Ring: "A soft ivory with gold iridescence."

Cupid's Bow: "A soft peachy pink satin with just the tiniest touch of gold flash."

Lovestruck: "A gorgeous chestnut brown with green shift and with pink and blue sparkles. Similar finish to Comet."

Be Still My Heart: "A gorgeous plummy brown with just a hint of copper flash. This was formulated as a blush but I think most ladies will love this as an eye shadow."

Heart of Gold: "An opaque slightly blackened red topped off with a touch of gold pearl. A lustre finish."

This is a look I did using the whole Sweetheart collection.

Valentine's Day OPI manicure

1 basecoat, 2 OPI "Do You Lilac It?" and 1 Nicole by OPI "Step To The Beat Of My Heart".

In this last picture the lilac is too light. The first 2 pictures are a better representation of the color.
