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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I don’t even know what possessed me to do this. Yes, I did the orange on purpose, but I tried something weird with the crease, and it actually worked. Just eyes today; my skin is feeling really dull, so I didn’t want to deal with foundation, and I had a dentist appointment, so I didn’t [...]
Yes, I know it’s Wednesday. But besides the Fyrinnae package I got today (squee), I’m expecting 3 more packages of samples and things in the mail. I haven’t really gone anywhere the past couple of days due to weather, but I figured I’d try out one of the more intriguing shadows I got today. Just [...]
I’m not sure why I bother to post the neutral eye looks I do. I was especially non-adventurous today because I had to spend time at an elementary school–a Catholic elementary school at that. So I didn’t want to wear too awfully much makeup. I think I succeeded at being thoroughly boring, however. (Click for [...]
Yes, I placed a 2nd order the same day I received the first. No, I haven’t received it yet. By “all new” I just mean that I only used colors I hadn’t used yet.
Also, you’re getting the first full-face of the blog, because I actually put something on my lips, and a little something on [...]
