Absent

Hello, all. Just an fyi. I will probably be absent from posting for a bit. My work just bumped me to full time, I'm attending school full time, and I try to do music at least a couple hours a day (pre-production = LOTS of practice, don't you know?). My MA level ethics class is about to start, but (thank goodness) I was given a thorough syllabus early. So... while I'll certainly ninja onto facebook and keep up with everyone else's awesome looks... I probably won't be posting many myself for a bit.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year and I can't wait to see your awesome looks! ^_^

12.27.11 Busy Bee look

 <----My Awesome "Busy Bee" T-shirt!

I've already mentioned this, but my old roomie and bestie, Polly, got me this awesome "Busy Bee" shirt from a resale shop a while back. It's green with a yellow sparkly bee decal. Needless to say, I love it. I wear it as often as I can... and have done at least one other look inspired by it. ^_- Today is a holiday smokey eye hippie rocker chick look that it inspired. 

This is what I used:

e.l.f. - Mineral Eye Primer: nude

detrivore - primer

Venomous - Eyelash Viper

Fyrinnae - Dressed to Kill

Fyrinnae - Dragon's Wing

e.l.f. - Mineral Eye Liner: Black

Kat VonD - Puro Amor Mascara: Black

*I opted to not wear any foundation or blush, today. I tend to do that as often as I can, lately. I do music... maybe I'm just keeping in line with the rocker chick theme. That said, I will keep my lippie or gloss of choice handy (nothing for lips in the pics, but I'll probably bring e.l.f. trendsetter or trophy wife coupled with hempbalm). ^_^

p.s. I can't tell you how much I LOVE "Dressed to Kill". Anyone looking for an awesome, sparkly pigment for New Year's Eve should definitely consider it. ^_^

Pink Eye... er... you know what I mean. ^_- 12.23.2011

Never Too Much Sparkle Inverted Smokey Eye

 The Facebook group "Never Too Much Sparkle!" is doing a weekly challenge for an inverted, holiday smokey eye that integrates green and red. My eyes aren't to terribly wide set, but I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try corrective shading for those with that problem, by completely inverting the way I normally do my smokey eye looks; adding shadow to the inner corners, this time. The results were surprisingly chic! Of course, I did some shading to slim my cheekbones to offset the effect of the eyeshadow.

Products used:
e.l.f. rose mineral eye primer
concrete minerals eye primer
detrivore primer

NYX Jumbo red lip pencil
GDE Martini Olive
GDE Olivia green
Aromaleigh Tainted Love
GDE Cloud Coverage
GDE Urban Trash

Kat VonD puro amor mascara
Meow Cosmetics browbeater auburn
Wickedly Clean blush Pastel Pink

e.l.f. lipstick natural nymph
NYX Jumbo Red lip pencil

As you can see, I used greens on the lower, red to the inner corner, and white to the outer.


To the right is the super-quick, hippie version of this look ^_-. I washed everything off and left the GDE martini olive mixed with GDE Olivia Green that remained on the lower lashline.


Peace, love, and gratitude this holiday season. ^_^
