Sushi Blumen » Stars N Rockets http://www.sushiblumen.com A MAC junkie's bad attempts at good makeup and more!

MAC Stars N’ Rockets eyeshadow over it looks gorgeous! Usually on it’s own or over a neutral paint pot it’s a very pinky-purple color, but over Blackground the blue duochrome really comes out!

    Definitely like this look… not too blue! I think I’ll have to try mixing my blues with other shades to find stuff that’s wearable to me. All blue looks just rub me wrong.

    On a side note, I’ve been at this blog for over a year now! Yay! And WOW, I’ve come a LONG way in application technique/blending/etc! It’s so nice to be able to look back and see improvement :) Which is exactly why I started this blog, because I wanted to document my looks and see improvement, and perhaps help a few others along the way :)

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…

    1021closeup3*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…
