Super Lazy Space Cow FOTD - 1/20/15

*I had a different blog post planned for Tuesday and I lost my notes that I needed to type up so now I will have to redo everything before I can share it with you. That got me all discombobulated because I spent so much time looking for it so I never got anything done until today. Bad blogger!*

I wanted to wear some makeup, but didn't really want to be bothered. Makes sense, no? I pulled out my binder of indie shadows and looked for a nice purple all over wash of color type shade. I decided Femme Fatale's Space Cow was just that shade. Femme Fatale's website describes this shade as: a soft lavender eye shadow tinged with grey and highlighted by a muted reddish pink shimmer. Personally I find it to be a nice pastel blue leaning lavender with a pretty light blue and pink shift.

What I used:
Korres Mattifying Primer
Revlon Colorstay Foundation - 110 Ivory & 150 Buff
ELF High Definition Powder
Benefit-  Dandelion
Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick - Sydney
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Cannes
ELF Eyebrow Kit - Dark
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
LASplash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base
Wet n Wild - Brulee
Femme Fatale - Space Cow

What do you think?

I really love being lazy with my makeup because that means I can wear it more often and still have time for life. Beautiful indie shadows with a nice duochrome really make for a nice look without much effort.

A+

What's your favorite duochrome indie shadow?

This Week's FOTDs - 1/12-1/167/14

Here's how my face looked this week. I was pretty lazy, but that's nothing new. I tried something different and I am not entirely sure I liked it. I honestly think my favorite look on my face, for me, is winged liner and bold lips. It's my comfort zone. Every time I do any kind of eye makeup lately, I am just not a fan of how it looks. *shrug* suggestions?

Technopagan FOTD - 12/30/14

I decided to test out my most exciting Christmas present to wear, OCC Technopagan! It is just as beautiful in person as everyone's swatches had led me to believe. I love it! I could wear it everyday and be the happiest girl in the world. You know the color is good when the lovely girl who was checking me out at Trader Joe's was gushing over it and before I left told me to keep rocking that lip!

For my face I have been doing my current usual routine. I am really loving the look of the Revlon foundation I have been using. It seems, to me at least, to match my skin tone. It doesn't broadcast any dry spots on my face. Best of all? It doesn't settle into any of my fine lines. It looks better on me than MUFE HD foundation and is a better everyday foundation that Illamasqua Skin Base because of the price point. I will be repurchasing when I go though the two bottles I have now. My only complaint? It doesn't have a pump. :(

How can you not just be filled with joy when you see such a wonderful lip color!?

Do you just love it or is it not your cup of tea?

Quick FOTD - 12/16/14

I am finally no long sick. I came down with the flu and have just be feeling utterly horrible for almost three weeks. To celebrate feeling better I decided to toss on some bright pink lippy and enjoy it! All I did was apply some mascara and lip color, and I already feel a million times better. :)

What I used:

Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Flared

NYX Lipliner Pencil - 859 Edge Pink

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - XLC01 Dolly Girl

Have you been staying healthy this winter? What do you think of the NYX lip creams?

I am a big fan of the Soft Matte Lip Creams.

FOTD : Birthday Makup - 7/31/2014

Today is the day I turn 25. When I was younger 25 was the age I always thought was the greatest. You had all your shit together, you had a job you enjoyed (at a coffee place), a boyfriend (starving artist type), a cellphone (?), and just generally had a say over what you did.This is mostly true. I have a job that I mostly enjoy, just not at a coffee shop. I don't have a boyfriend, but I do have a lovely husband that I love with all of my heart. I do have a cellphone! And I mostly get to do whatever I want 'cause I'm a grownup!

Because I am so grown up I thought I would be seriously appropriate to wear some sweet blue lips - as I have been obsessing over them like crazy!

What I used :

 Face-
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
Revlon Colorstay Foundation in 110 Ivory


Eyes-
Wet N Wild Brulee
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Sabbath
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express

Lips-
NYX lipliner pencil in 851 Black Berry
Geek Chic Cosmetics Geek Gloss in Banished

Fragrance-
Tom Ford Black Orchid

FOTD : Kat Von D Evelyn Palette & NYX Transylvania - 7/24/2014

keeping on with the roll, I have another FOTD, plus a small haul. I went to Ulta today because I was having a really bad day(week) and decided to see if they had the NYX macaron lippies in the store - negative. Good news, there were new colors of the soft matte lip creams to poke at. I got one to see, and there are few more I would love, plus there are new normal matte lipstick shades now! As I was wandering around with my new lippie I found some clearanced nail polishes, SCORE! So I picked up Josie, Sunshine (pixie dust) , and Chita (pixie dust). The best part of the day was there were clearanced from 8.00 to 1.97 but when I got to check out they actually range up for .98 I believe. I purchased everything for under ten dollars! That sure made my week a little brighter.

This is the first day all week that my husband has noticed or at least said anything about my makeup. I walked into his office when I picked him up from work and all he had to say was "You look dark." For the life of me, I couldn't just take a "normal" photo but I think these show off the makeup well enough so here they stay!

What I used:


Face
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 115 Ivory
ELF High Definition Powder


Eyes
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Kat Von D Evelyn Palette
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Demolition
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express
ELF Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Lips
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania


What do you think? Will you be running out to Ulta to score some nail poishes or checking out some new NYX products? I think the lip cream could have been a little bit nicer if I used a lipliner first, c'est la vie!

FOTD using Sleek Oh So Special Palette

Today I wanted to share a look done with a palette I had been lusting after for a while: Sleek's Oh So Special palette! I have been on a nude and pink kick lately. (ever since Valentine's and thinking about wedding makeup

 

So let's get started!

After priming your lids, place Boxed in the crease

Then just blend out to soften the lines, and possibly clean up the winged shape if need be

Pat Organza on the center 1/2 of the lid

Take Pamper and place in inner corner

Next use Bow as a highlight under your brown and to soften any harsh lines around the crease if you would like

Add mascara and fill in your brows if you want

Here I used a blush from Sleek's Blush By 3 Sugar Palette - Turbinado

And for funzies I used NYX Matte Lipstick in Angel. I think I went a little too far with this. I also seem rather red today and I apologize.

 

 

 What do you think of this look? I think the lipstick was a bit much. I think it didn't work with the blush. 

Do you have any Sleek palettes? What is your favorite?
