FOTD: First day of work!

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Yesterday I had my employee orientation at Target, so I figured it was probably a good idea to look put together.  I actually put on foundation, so you get a full-face picture for once!

This was before I did anything to my hair, obviously.  (Not that I do much to my hair for the most part.)  [...]

EOTD: The dangers of overblending

Monday, July 26th, 2010

The other day I was watching YouTube videos, and came across a burgundy and purple eye look that I wanted to do my own version of.  (I *think* it was by Tiffany D, but I watched enough videos that I can’t be sure.)  Unfortunately, I was so thorough with my blending brush that the burgundy [...]

FOTD: I was bored last night.

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

I was bored last night and I decided to play.  My friend Jen told me to do blue when I was being wobbly in our chat about not being able to decide, so naturally I did what she asked!  (Please forgive the hair…my bangs need a serious trim, and everything was just extra limp yesterday [...]

EOTD: Rocks for work, experiment #1

Friday, June 25th, 2010

And I think I might have erred on the side of too subtle!
Only eyes today.  Foundation and I are having a rather tempestuous relationship, and I think it may be because I haven’t found quite the right summer moisturizer for my skin.  Also, my hair is truly scary.  I’ve discovered that a flat iron is [...]

FOTD: Chartreuse, again?

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I got new glasses last Thursday (technically I’ve had the frames for a while, but I’d been using them for reading glasses, not everyday), because I’ve had to confront the fact that I need…bifocals.  At 31!  I got progressive lenses, which are actually taking quite a while to get used to.  The new frames are [...]

FOTD: Bright, woo!

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I wanted to try something a bit new Friday, and bright eyeshadow that I actually left the house in seemed to be just the thing.  It also gave me an excuse to try out some of my new Rocks shadows.  What I came up with was a bit on the 80s fashion side, but thanks [...]

Rocks! Woo!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

OMG YOU GUYS. Probably everyone knows that Aromaleigh Rocks! shadows are being reformulated and the remaining stock is on sale for 40% off. But did you know that they are also part of the current 2-week sale, and are an additional 25% off until April 30?  (Disclaimer: I waited to post about it until I’d [...]

FOTD: Forget the past, let’s stay in the present.

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

I think I’m going to give up on posting the days I missed over my accidental hiatus.  I looked back at the pictures, and they just really weren’t that great.  So this FOTD was from April 8, last Thursday.  I wanted to do a subtle bright eye, to see if that was even possible.  I [...]

EOTD: Boyfriend-requested green

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I got mail today!  My sample pack from Detrivore arrived today, so I had a rainbow of 50 new samples to play with.  Now, when faced with that many choices I never know what I want to do.  I decided to try an experiment: after I got out of the shower, I asked my boyfriend [...]

EOTD: Not one I’m proud of. *sigh*

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

When I first started this blog, I warned you that sometimes I would “fail in an epic way” and then blog about it.  Here is one of those epic ways.

This is one of the better pictures, so it may not look too epic, but trust me, it’s bad.  If I want to make Aromaleigh shadows [...]
