Out to Tea FOTD -1/25/15

Sunday my brother invited Nate and me out to tea with him and a few of his friends. Later Nate's parents came over to visit and have dinner. I was looking for a easy but sparkly look that I could slap on my face and then not touch up the rest of the day. I didn't touch up my lips at all. There is definitely some fading, but it seemed mostly even so I didn't end up with that weird ring you can get sometimes from your lipstick disappearing from eating or drinking. The full face photo is from about 7:30 after Nate's parents left. (which is also why the lighting isn't so great)

 

 

What I used:
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Glamour Doll Eyes - Rocket
Wet n Wild - Brulee
Glamour Doll Eyes - Foil Me
LASpash Eyeshadow Base/Sealer
Glamour Doll Eyes - Monster Mash
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Perversion
Maybelline Volum' Express Flared
Sephora Nano Lip Liner - 20 Real Red
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Amsterdam


To be perfectly honest with you guys, I am more than a little disappointed that no one (in real life) seemed to notice my face. I wore OCC's technopagan to my second cousin's birthday party and not one single person commented, which is very odd for that crowd of people. Yesterday I went out with my brother who usually comments on my makeup, and a friend who is a drag queen and no one seemed to enjoy my sparkle.

Do you ever feel like even though you do your makeup for yourself,

you kinda wish sometimes someone would notice?

Its ok though 'cause I loved it.

Everyday is an adventure.

December 2014 Most Used + Loves

What have I been using and loving this month? Let's find out!

Eylure x Katy Perry Lashes - Sweetie Pie
I really liked the natural look of these. I used them for Christmas Eve dinner. I initially planned to use the Ardell demi wispies everyone raves about, but they were just too dramatic for the occasion (and the fact that I have never wore lashes before). What I liked best about these lashes is that I can do a thick liner and just pop these on and instantly look like I have natural lashes again. Is it just me, or do you find there's nothing you can do to make your lashes visible with a super thick liner. No amount of mascara seems to help me!

Makeup Geek Pigment - New Year's Eve
Just pat this baby on over whatever kind of glitter glue you like, and POW! instant party look. Simple and sparkly!

Illamasqua Powder Blusher - Hussy
I got this for Christmas last year after I had been dreaming of owning it for what feels like forever. I can tell you, it did not disappoint. I love it! Its nice and pigmented, and I think it looks good on me.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Amsterdam and Cannes
I have recently fallen in love with the formulas of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. They are easy to apply, and layer, and eventually become mostly matte without totally drying out your lips. Lovely!

China Glaze Hey Sailor with Essie Matte About You Topcoat
My favorite, matte red everything!

Manic Panic - Hot Hot Pink, Purple Haze, Electric Lizard
My current hair color combination. Let me tell you I am seriously feelin' it. I think I could be rocking this look for quite a while. <3
