The inspiration for this look was a picture I saw in February 2010 Allure Magazine. Its makeup done by Tom Pacheaux for Derek Lam. I need some practice on interpreting looks from magazines and face charts. Sometimes I can't translate from picture to face....
Here's my look...I used two NK HD e/s' and NYX e/s in Orange( I think) and everything else is just basic...

I picked up OPI Mad As A Hatter on Friday from Trade Secrets...the purchase totally caught me off guard...I didn't MEAN to buy a new polish!!!
Its rainbow glitter perfection...the picture do no justice....none whatsoever....

Ya'll all know I don't like lip balm, chapstick, anything greasy on my mouth before I put on greasy lipstick and gloss! lol! But, lip balm is soooo necessary and we have had the weirdest winter EVER in the South. So, I picked up Victoria's Secret Deep Nourishing Lip and Body Moisture Balm right around Christmas for $7.
Cons:
Four Mascaras...one me.:) I'm between four mascaras right now...I can't do a review on just one because they all do different things for me.
Ahhh....In the depths of my pigment box, I found these press samples of Besame Cosmetics Eye Shadows in Socialite Brown, Black Pearl,Pistachio, Plum Dandy and Shimmer Beige( I also own Peacock Blue in the regular size). Back in 2006, I did a sparkling review on the line...I love the pigmentation and wear on these shadows. About a year ago, the company had a massive sale prompting people to think they were closing but they have not!!! And they are on Twitter!!

"Did you know that the today is the most depressing day of the year? The People United Charity coined it "Blue Monday." Their goal is to encourage others to make small acts of kindness towards each other.
This Blue Monday get lifted™ with tarte! We love the idea of making it an unseasonably happy
In attempt to do a half-moon manicure like I saw in InStyle magazine( who also gave 'directions' on how to do it) here it is, for the WORLD to see lol!....
I used Essie Sole Mate and Island Hopping....
Day 4...Shadowy Lady Challenge...
****snore***
Jamie
Ya'll have heard me talk about the Green's Salvage Store here in my hometown and goodies I come across...Lately, they have had a ton of Sally Hansen and WnW stuff, so as I was stopping in to load up on the kids' snacks and canned goods for dinner I grabbed a couple things. Every thing was $.50 a piece, no lie. So I spent $3.50. that I shouldn't have spent since I only have $15.00 to my name and I know I'll have to pump gas. As my mother would say, "At least it wasn't a pack of cigarettes" **hangs head in shame** lol!
Day 3 of the MAC Shadowy Lady Challenge...I paired it up with the blue shade out of NYX Team Spirit trio and Shadowy Lady in the crease and Lancome Chic on the brow bone.
It's a bit rushed...I've been crazy tired for some reason so after I got the kids off to school and did some house cleaning, I went back to sleep and woke up at noon!
Four more days to go!!
Sometime I was on Twitter and I was complaining that day that every YT Beauty guru video I was watching they were using MAC Shadowy Lady eye shadow. I didn't get the hype of it. Its a almost black,eggplant matte purple. Nothing special to me. And I own it! Its in the 2007 holiday palette I got at the CCO.
Sooo....I thought I would challenge myself to like Shadowy Lady by using it EVERYDAY this week! So the look in the first two pictures is Sunday....I used it was MAC Post Haste which was a CCO purchase fail.
Eh....whatever....
Today, I paired it with NK HD #2023( a emerald green).......
That look was okay, I guess...*sigh*
If you got any ideas, posts, videos on how to use Shadowy Lady...hit me up in the comments!
I started using VS Pink Nourishing Shave Cream a couple weeks ago after getting it in a 3 for $15 deal for VS Pink products...
On this today, January 15, 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded in the campus of Howard University....
Did a little F.O.T.D....Here's my one from last year !
Skee-Wee Sorors!!!
I picked up all the Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadows and one Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss during my 1st CVS Clearance run.( btw, I went back today to see if the Maybelline 50% stuff had been marked down some more...nada)
I love them:) Seriously, they are soft textured and beautiful on my skin. They blend well and give just enough color for a natural look...
***Excuse the lip gloss on my teeth. I didn't even see it til I downloaded the photos!***
Revlon Age Defying Instant Firming Face Primer ( whew! seriously cosmetic companies...tone these names DOWN) is a CVS Clearance goody. I was giddy to find it since I don't normally wear primers. Its time to try out some!
