GDE Customer Appreciation Sale Haul (swatches!)

So, remember the Glamour Doll Eyes customer appreciation sale? It was a while back, I know but I just got my order because Vee was unable to ship mine until after she got back from her vacation. She e-mailed me about it and was really sweet and I told her it was fine. If you weren't aware of the sale, they had all their full sized shadows for 50% off if you bought 8 or more ($3 a piece!) Since I had to wait, I got a free pair of false lashes! woot! Anyway, I swatched them all for you. I'm not sure which colors are popular and which ones aren't so I just did them all.

I swatched them on my leg. Feels silly, but so much easier to photograph!
I don't think I need to do color descriptions since these colors aren't new. I'm sure there are better photos and descriptions on 564645 other blogs. I would like to mention, though, that "Drag Queen" swatched weird. If it looks like a darkish blue eyeshadow with a green on top of it, that's because that's what happened. I don't know why, it looks like a lovely teal in the jar. I'm going to have to play around with that one. My favorites so far are Dear Mom, Premonition, Pistol Pistol, and Phyrra.



Eyelashes!I actually don't own any, so I was excited about this haha :D

I happen to be a big fan of GDE so I'm sure I'll love these. With that, I leave you with my laptop wallpaper. Check the WoW icon. I know, I'm cool.

Have a lovely evening!

Black and White Polka Dot Nails

I got the idea for this from cutepolish from youtube. I just bought some brand new white, black, and silver glitter, too.

Pure Ice is my favorite brand of nail polish. They have such pretty colors and for only $2.00 a bottle! I used this brand for the silver stripe and the white polka dots. The black is NYC and the base/top coat is Rimmel.

Non-nail related: So, I recently placed another Fyrinnae order. Since I've started back at school (and since they have such a wide variety) I figured I'd get some neutral-ish "wearable" colors. I got Sake & Sashimi, Anemone, Strip Poker, Samhain Spirits, Polar Bear, and Snow Bunny. Snow Bunny doesn't really fit in that category but I could afford to get one more so I threw it in last minute. I also got the Shangri-La lip lustre. Has anyone tried any of these colors? If so, let me know what you think. I'll probably swatch them once I get them.

Have a lovely evening! :)

Warm Fall Colors FOTD

I love fall, don't you? It's probably my favorite season, but mostly just because it means it's time for Halloween :D It's not really getting cool here yet, but I can feel the season transitioning. You know how I can tell? My skin is breaking out. That could be from the weather, the stress of school, or both I don't really know. In any case, I did a lovely warm fall-ish look for you today. Warm, not neutral though. :)



For those of you who don't like a lot of lip color, here's what it looks like without any:

And for everyone else, here's the finished look:
What I used:

Eyes:
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy applied to the outer corner/crease
Morgana Minerals "Witch's Wine" on outer corner/crease and outer 1/2 of lower lashline
Moi Minerals "Hot as Hell" on center of lid
Fyrinnae "Rapunzel Had Extensions" on inner corner and inner 1/2 of lower lashline
matte white color from 88 palette underneath brow
Maybelline black eyeliner on waterline
Maybelline "Great Lash: BIG" black mascara (Michelle Phan says this stuff is crap, but guess what Michelle: You wrong :D)

Face:
Covergirl "Clean" liquid foundation
Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss foundation in "Frisky Persian"
Clinique blush in "Smoldering Plum"

Lips:
Morgana Minerals "Very Cherry"
Avon plumping lipstick in "Peach Daquiri" (a light orange color just to make the red a bit warmer)

And that's it! I actually did this look in the middle of the night because I was bored so I didn't get to wear it anywhere, so I'll definitely be doing this again. I might even do a video tutorial for it..hmm… :)

Have a lovely Sunday!

Date Night EOTD

Last night my boyfriend, Caleb, and I went to go see "Going the Distance." I really have no idea why I continue to go into movies like that thinking "Oh, this one will be different." It's always the same ol' thing. I only wanted to see it because it had Jim Gaffigan in it, and I love that man. His standup is hilarious. Needless to say, the movie sucked. It was painfully predictable. Oh well, at least my makeup looked pretty! :D





What I used:
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Sugarpill "Stella" outer crease and lower lash line (sparkly black)
Moi Minerals "Galaxy" blended into and just next to "Stella" (sparkly blue/gray)
Glamour Doll Eyes "Unicorn" inner 1/3 of lid (purpley pink color)
Glamour Doll Eyes "Family Secret" inner corner and browbone
Maybelline black eyeliner on waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

You really can't see the crazy sparkly-ness of "Stella" and "Galaxy" in these pictures, but wow. I'm in love with both of these colors.

In other news, Caleb is cute when he's helping me photograph weddings! :D

FOTD Using New Sugarpill

So I actually did this look yesterday, but didn't want to overload you with posts. Before I put up the pictures I wanted to mention that I'm thinking about doing a small giveaway in the near future. I figured since the Sugarpill jars are HUGE and there's no way I could ever use them up I could sample them and give them away. Obviously I want to get more readers before I do this, but what do you guys think? Should I? I'm happy to share, and I'd never send you something I didn't love myself! Let me know. :)

Anyway, onto the FOTD.

teehee. :P

What I used:

Eyes:
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Sugarpill "Darling" on center of lid
Sugarpill "Paperdoll" in crease and on lower lashline
Glamour Doll Eyes "Family Secret" on browbone and inner corners
Maybelline black eyeliner on lower outer 1/2 of lashline
Jordana Fabuliner in black on upper lashline and extended out in 3 wings
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Face:
Meow Cosmetics concealer in Frisky Persian/Himalayan(mixed)
Cover Girl Clean liquid foundation
CoverGirl Clean powder foundation
Meow Cosmetics "Racy" blush

Lips:
Clear gloss mixed with Sugarpill "Paperdoll"

Turquoise and purple are my favorite colors to put together! I'd paint my room those colors if I could. I know the "wings" are a little funky on this look but don't worry..I didn't go out in public haha :)

Let me know what you think! About the look and the Sugarpill sample giveaway.

Have a lovely evening!

*NEW* Sugarpill Swatches!

Sugarpill just released some new loose shadows Friday(I think!) I got a little too excited and grabbed 3 as soon as I saw them. I got Stella, Darling, and Paperdoll.
Since they're brand new (and I know you want some!) I figured I'd swatch them for you. I'm terrible at swatching things on my arm so I just did them on my eye.

First:
Paperdoll I kinda had to fight with this color a little bit but it's gorgeous. It's a very lovely lavender color with some pinkish/red sparkles. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance for this, but looking back I think some kind of creamy base would have been better. You can at least see how the color looks on an eye.

DarlingTurquoise!! AHHH It's so bright! This color is so pretty and intense. If you're a turquoise girl like me, you need this color. It's quite sparkly too, so I think a different base would have been better.

StellaI believe this one is my favorite of the three. I used TFSI and Pixie Epoxy for this one and look how great it looks. This is the perfect "clubbing" eyeshadow. Glitter galore. It's definitely black black black and the glitter is multicolored. I knew I'd love this one as soon as I opened the jar, I can't wait to play around with it.

Here's what they look like wet. I don't know why Stella is smaller than the other two, it just happened that way..I'm terrible at swatching XD
Natural light, no flash: w/ Flash:

So that's all I got, because I'm poor! There are some other colors available too, I think there are seven new ones. I hope this was helpful, I know you're wanting some new ones too! I was surprised at how quick they got here, I think they shipped the same day I ordered them!

Conclusion: Sugarpill does not disappoint, per usual. :) Expect some EOTD's using these colors soon!
