Valentine's day 7/14 - Quick And Easy Look With KVD Truth Palette

Today I have a little picture tutorial. I did a look using the pink side of the Kat Von D Truth palette. I think it turned out alright. It is very wearable. This look would really help to accentuate green or hazels eyes.

First I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin all over my lid

Next I took Rehab

and placed it all over my lid and brow bone

Then I took Galeano

and patted that on the outer 2/3rd of my lid

I took Sister

and placed that on my brow bone for a soft highlight

Then I took Prague

and placed in in the crease like this

I didn't want to use too much and I find placing it where I want it first makes it look nicer after I blend it rather than just placing and blending at the same time. (because I seriously lack skills)

Blend!

Then add some mascara

Here is a full face shot- I used KVD Lovecraft on my lips

What do you think of this look? Too subdued or just right?
I have really been loving a purple and pink smokey eye. I don't know why. What look or combination are you obsessed with right now?

Valentine's day 6/14 - Quick Natural Eye Look

Today I thought I would try to do a quick photo tutorial of how I did my eye shadow. This was a very quick look and took probably less than 5 minutes. Its a very nice natural looking eye and I think anyone could pull this off without a problem.

First I used Urban Decay Primer Potion and put it all over my lid up to my eyebrow.

Next I used the Too Faced Naked Eye palette.

First I used Pink Cheeks and put it all over my lid and up to my brow bone.

Then I took Unmentionables and placed it in my crease and outer v.

Lastly I took Satin Sheets and placed it on the outer two thirds of my lid. Then I added some mascara and the look is done!

Quick FOTD

Tonight I am going to see Dennis Lehane speak and then go out for tea. I just did a quick look inspired by some looks I have seen Killer Colors show on her blog. You should check her out also, she is amazing.

I only used two products for this look. I am wearing Urban Decay Toasted all over my lid and NARS Barbarella on my lips.

Target Haul

I recently went to Target to buy some basic house stuff when I was suddenly distracted by all the glittery ELF products on the end cap. I picked up quite a bit, none of which I needed. I rationalized it by how cheap everything was. I ended picking up a blush brush, a set of duos, the ultimate eyeshdow palette, eyeshadow palette with 32 warm colors, everyday eye palette and natural eye palette.

Holiday Duos

 Holiday Ultimate eyeshadow palette -144 shadows

 Holiday 32 Piece eyeshadow palette - Warm

 Holiday Everyday Eye Palette

 Holiday Natural Eye Palette

I also picked up three nail polishes. Sally Hansen Strobe Light, Nicole by OPI My Sleigh's in the Shop and Glitter in my Stocking
