So, if you know I am a crazed die-hard Eagles fan. This week I was lucky enough to be in attendance at Monday night's football game. So if you saw it, you know we lost. *tears* But I had a blast at the game and of course yall know my makeup had to be celebratory!!! Here's the look...
For this look I used the same green from the first Eagles look from my 120 palette, and Hocus Pocus e/s from MAC. This picture doesn't really show it, but I used 3 glitta liners on this eye. A forest green one on my upper lashline, silver on my lower eyeline (towards the front) and a apple green one towards the end of the lower lashline. This gave it an amazing dimensional glitta thang in person! The eyes could've been neater but I overslept and was in a rush to get dressed. I used Brave New Bronze l/s, Cork l/l and Instant Gold l/g on my lips, and La Femme Blush in Redwood.
Soooooo even though my boys lost I know we'll be back! And can yall see how OBSESSED I am with these glitter liners?!!! No such thing as too much glitter! (Unless its "Kesha style") LOL. Also, I got a chance to see Puss in Boots 3D and I lovedddddddd it!!! :) In case you noticed I am also wearing new hair. It's some Virgin Brazilian natural wavy that I ordered from a Chinese vendor. I'll do a post on it once I wear it for a while but right now its loveee! How was your weekend?
So this is another halloween post. Once again, everything used was eyeshadows and they were all from the 120 palette. A black pencil liner was used to outline. This look is great for someone who wants to attempt to try their hand at a makeup face mask :)
Lol, you know this is throwback because I had blonde-y hair you guys! haha. I really think the red lip and lashes are what help sets this look off. This look is great for a fun look for halloween and I personally think its also cute for a hippie/70's costume of some sort....Hope you loves enjoy!
So... I have some makeup looks that I previously did and also some that I plan on doing so I said I'd do a few halloween posts since I now have a blog. So that is the reasoning behind why there may be different hairstyles and whatnot going on lol This look in particular is for someone who's looking to do something that's scary, yet sexy. It'll be way too much for me to list products for these upcoming looks (sowwwwry) because they take so many but I can assure you that ALL products for this particular look consisted of eyeshadows and I also used a black gel liner. Here's the look...

When I saw that MM quote it inspired this look. I don't typically post my more creative looks on here but halloween is the perfect time to do so so I hope you loves enjoy! This would be especially easy for a costume because since the face is already doing so much I would honestly just throw on a black catsuit/jumper and boots (or heels to seeex it up :) and you're good to go!
So yet another one of my sudden disappearances is contributed to a hospital stay :( But now that I'm home and chained to the bed for a week or so the only thing on my agenda is to catch up with school work so I thought I'd do a post. If you've been following me for a while you'd know that my favoriteeeeee lashes ever are MAC #2 but I'd had an extreme issue finding them at local stores and counters so I decided to try #3. They look very similar to #2 except they're shorter and more natural looking (as natural as fake lashes go lol). I'm still loyal to my #2's, but mainly because as long as these are, I prefer longer! I thought I'd post because these are a solid replacement and may better equip those don't like the "drag queen lash". I've been using a different adhesive for a while so I'll also post on that later this week. Here's the lash...
Very pretty! I love that false lashes provide fullness and shape to any look and besides my eyebrow pencils and lipsticks would have to be my favorite item! Lashes aren't necessarily essentials but are pretty darn nice to have! Tell me your favorite lash in the comments if you have one! Hope you've all been well and stay tuned for some more posts this week!
So the only reason I like fall/winter is back.... yes football has came back into my life and I could not be happier. I'll generally watch any games that are on but I only go hard for the big boys E-A-G-L-E-S!!! When I'm not wearing any Eagles related paraphernalia during games you can almost bet I'll have some green painted on my face! Yesterday I decided to do a Eagles inspired cut-crease in honor of my boys 1st regular season game. The Eagles green is actually more of a teal-ish blue green so I grabbed some colors from my 120 palette (AGAIN! lol) The look..
Face => MAC Studio Tech foundation in NW45, Brow pencil in Stud, Studio Sculpt concealer in NW45, MSF Natural in Dark, La Femme blush in Sienna, Blunt blush for contour
Lips => MAC Fresh Brew l/s, Instant Gold l/g
Eyes => Used the 120 palette (follow the hearts :) Dolla holla store silver glitta liner on top lashline, white kohl on waterline, Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara
In case anyone's wondering the birds won 31-13. A win means a great start to the week. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
So I've been OBSESSED with the man, Frank Ocean these last coupla months. Unless you've been living under a rock I hope you've already downloaded this goodness. Anywho, I had "Nature Feels" on repeat when I was getting dressed and I was inspired. I swear I wasn't drinking. The look...

Face => MAC Studio Tech foundation in NW45, Brow pencil in Stud, Studio Sculpt concealer in NW45, MSF Natural in Dark, La Femme blush in Bordeaux, Blunt blush for contour
Lips => MAC Russian Red. I don't usually but today I outlined with concealer for a sharper line around my bottom lip.
Eyes => Used the 120 palette (follow the hearts :) Dolla holla store green glitta liner on inner corners, MAC blacktrack on waterline, Maybelline XXL mascara
Yall know I faithfully wear my MAC #2's or 3's but for this look I wore another pair of my favorite lashes: Kiss ENVY human hair lashes in "Juicy Volume 03" (KPE14). They're VERY dramatic and are winged galore!
The track that started it all...

Today was a good day. I found my "lost" eyebrow pencil and I got some great deals while out shopping. Inspiration is a great thing. I guess the randomness of this look is pretty good because Halloween is coming and this is an EXCELLENT look if you plan on dressing like "Eve" (as in Adam and not the rapper lol) or maybe a vamped up "Poison Ivy". If you haven't heard Frank Ocean check him out ASAP!
YAAAAAAAAAASS it's finally warmmmmm! And nobody can be more excited than me! I LURVE warm/hot weather so all this cold and rain was killing me. So of course on the first really nice day I kicked out the wedges, florals and color The following look is an ode to all things warm :)
Super simple look! I used a green eyeshadow, black kohl, MAC's Vegas Volt lipstick, Fulfilled pushglass and La Femme blush in Coral spice. Isn't Vegas Volt bew-ti-ful?!!! It made me want to buy like umpteen backups OMGGGG! Also, I love looks like this because they don't look overdone, can last well in the heat and are very fresh faced and spring forward!
Overall, I've been keeping myself busy. Just trying to make moves. Been slightly lazy with my hair (wearing it in protective bun). I've also been going out to eat quite a lot (one of my favorite pastimes lol) This week since it was so nice, a friend and I went to eat at City Tap House since they have an outside roof deck to eat on. It was great. We went for lunch so the menu was slightly limited but the burger I had was great and I nearly inhaled the fries! Yum!
I was in New York for the week previous and I meant to do a post on all the great places I ate when I was there.... perhaps it'll happen eventually hehe. How do you make your shift to warmer weather?
It definitely seems like time has been passing by so quickly! I feel so old! Lol. For the first time since probably ever, I had a pretty great NYE. I went out with one of my girlfriends to a party and I had a pretty decent time considering it really isn't my scene anymore! Of course I wore SEQUINS! so I wanted my makeup to be bright as well. I was going to do full out glitter lids but I kept my restraint! I typically don't do the "Resolution" thing but I made a promise to myself that this year I would.... DATE! haha I've been single for what seems like forever and it gets a little dry after a while. I actually gave my number out to a few guys for the first time in a year or so so we'll see how that goes 0_o
Have you made any resolutions? Comment and let me know!

Foundation =>MAC Studio Sculpt NW47 and Revlon PhotoReady in Cappuccino .
Brows=> MAC eyebrow pencil in 'Spiked' and then defined with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW45
Eyes => UDPP and concealer as base. I used the 120 palette: The electric blue all over lid with a sky blue right in the center for definition. I took the sable brown for the crease and used the shimmery white for a highlight. The purple was from the same palette and I wet my brush a bit before application. I then used a silver glitter (because I needed SOME glitta! Lol) to the inner corners. Lined my upper lids with Wet&Wild H20 in black and I used a MAC Feline for the waterline. The lashes were some random BBS ones I had lying around.
Lips => Lined my lips with MAC lipliner in Chestnut, filled them with MAC Honeylove and then I used MAC Scottish Lilt Lipglass (LE Tartan Tale)
Face=> Set with MAC MSF in Dark and If yall must know I am blush CRAZY! I'm wearing Sienna by La Femme =)
Although I look it, I was NOT drunk in this pic! Lol. Sorry for the camera phone pics, I was caught up in the night. I ordered Cork liner and C-thru lipglass (because I hear its all the rave!) so I can't wait for that! Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I look forward to continuing posting regularly!
