I failed at photographing my eyes today. ?!
This is based off a look I did a year ago in October (I was looking through the archives). Just subtracted the blue color.

This was posted today on specktra.net’s “Shop Your Stash Challenge” thread, and decided I’d try it out! I don’t think I’ve ever really used Cool Heat since I’ve bought it. Turned out well, a bit smoky and dark for a day look, but definitely something I’m not scared to try out again. A blue look I like?!

Deflt makes a beautiful base for Cool Heat!
Something I didn’t think of until now, but I bet MAC Blue Brown pigment would also go well with this look. I’ve had that pigment since last fall and still haven’t gotten around to using it, so I might have to repeat this look with that pigment sometime soon.
I wasn’t really anything for Halloween, I just wanted to do lots of makeup, haha.

Dorky full face shot ![]()

I <3 Flammable paint.
And this was my first time ever wearing fake eyelashes!!
Ooo, I love it! Once again, another look off my super awesome list of combinations to try… which I will try to get posted as a page after I’m done adding all the stuff into My Collection page. Moving to a wordpress format has been so nice, I’m loving it! Definitely a lot more flexibility in layout and content.
Some thoughts…
1) 217 oh how I love you! I can’t believe I ever said I didn’t see the point in you on specktra.net!
2) It’s Parfait AMOUR not ARmour *smacks forehead* I just recently stumbled upon that discovery… can I claim it’s because French words aren’t my thing!? At least it’s not as bad as me calling Slip Pink “Pink Slip” for the past two years…
3) I wonder what my classmates think when I walk into class with makeup like this… Considering only a small fraction even seem to have mascara on, I wonder if I’m a sight to see with dramatic smokey looks for school…
Face
Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 268. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.
Eyes
Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush. Parfait Amour packed all over lid with 239 brush. Stars N’ Rockets swept into crease with 239 brush. Using a 217 brush, Beauty Marked was buffed into outer V and outer half of crease. Using a 272 brush, Crystal Avalanche was used as a highlight and in inner corners. Rave liner applied to waterline, and using a 219 brush, Parfait Amour applied under lower lashes.

*squeeeee* I love it. I don’t know why, I guess I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Thank goodness for a 217 brush!
However, I can’t decide if the look needs some eyeliner on my upper lashes… I avoid lining looks as sometimes it ruins everything, but sometimes it’s needed. I just don’t know…
I feel like this is something kinda unusual for me… It is something off of my list of combinations to try (though I did my own highlight/blend and liners). I like it, though! I kind of did a messy job (especially with the liner), so it’s not perfect looking, but I definitely think this is something I would do again, and in different variations with different colors.

Bleh, I’m so dark under my eyes
But… I am too lazy to put on a bunch of concealer, especially when I am not doing anything special. Hence my powder foundation – I don’t like to be all gloppy with products.
So my problem is laziness. I take pictures, then they sit on the camera. I have pictures on my digital camera from nearly a year ago! So… this morning I don’t have much going on, so I am vowing to go through all the makeup pictures, delete the crap ones, and post up good ones, regardless of how old.
What this means is that I probably won’t remember which products I used. But I still want to post them up since I took the effort to take the pics, ya know? What’s even worse is that my camera’s date kept resetting, so I don’t even have an accurate date for these
Most will be from March – June 2009.
I run several blogs on a huge variety of subjects, and I tend to neglect them all, so honestly I REALLY need to make a vow to at least stay on top of a few.
First up…
This is from September 22, 2009.
Two words: SPICED CHOCOLATE!
I heard so much raving about this quad, so when I caught notice it was at my nearest CCO, I ran over and grabbed it. I’ve been in such a mood for a “fall feeling” with bronzes and reds, so this really excited me. And it didn’t fail to impress! (Which is always important, as things tend to get hyped up on MAC forums and turn out to be a bust)



I also dyed my hair recently “Deep Burgundy” by Feria. These pictures were taken soon after it was dyed. 1.5 weeks later and it’s faded a bit, but still really red. Maybe I finally found a good red hair dye?! Well, that, and I switched to using a sulfate-free shampoo (Bed Head Superstar) which really helps on prolonging hair color.

September 5, 2009
I went for a strawberries & bananas look this day and ended up messing it up by using a black eyeliner. I don’t like dark eyeliner (as you can tell, I usually don’t line my looks, which drives some people crazy but I like no liner a lot of the time). Therefore, I will only post the open eyes version.
Make Up For Ever #75
MAC Chrome Yellow
MAC Black Russian pearlglide liner (ARGHHHH)
MAC Full of Fuchsia Technakohl liner (trying to unruin the look)

Sometime in August 2009
How great are Taylor Swift dresses?! Haha, I just had to say that!
This was done with some of the Hello Kitty shadows… I’m guessing Too Dolly and Lucky Tom are two of the candidates


Sometime in April or May 2009
Awww, this is sooo pretty, I wish I remembered what I used
I almost want to think I used Plumed Violet Cream Colour Base, but I am not sure.


April 3, 2009
I remembered the date on this one because this was the night of the Fast & Furious opening, LOL! I was going for the import model look, I guess. I used Too Faced Ooh & Aah duo eyeshadow.


That’s about all! There were other ones, but I either didn’t like how I did the makeup, or it was a repeat of something I had posted earlier.
Whew!
I am going to try to focus on getting swatches and collection photos up. I know natural light is best for that, but unfortunately the weather is quite crappy so I’ll have to see how far I get with that, especially today.
Me and my weather themed makeup…

I took a small break from Hello Kitty collection stuff today… well, kinda. I attempted a brown smokey eye with the Lucky Tom e/s, but… it wasn’t doing want I wanted. (Do I have a HK collection curse?) I used very little, so I won’t be listing it on the products list FYI.
Face – nothing! Another natural face day (a.k.a. I was rushed)
Eyes


Neutral and simple
