Weekly Loves and Unloves - 7/15-7/22

I have been trying very diligently to keep up blogging, doing about 2 posts a week. Doing these weekly posts really help me keep on track. I hope you enjoy them?

Love : Milani Eyeshadow Primer
I have been using this for over a year since I lost my UDPP *cries* Good news is, ITS JUST AS GOOD! Its amazing and I feel like I do not ever need to spend crazy cashola on an eyeshadow primer again. I love it so much I used it on my wedding day!

Unlove : BareMinerals Mineral Veil
I currently hate this. Every time I have used this the past few weeks my skin has looked totally poopy; just gross. It does not play well, at least with my ELF foundation that I am trying to use up.

Love : Prism Lites Lightener - Violet, Ion Sensitive Scalp 30 vol developer, Manic Panic Rock 'N' Roll Red
I used all of these products over the past week to redye my hair. I have enjoyed working with all of them. My hair lightened enough to so I could cover it with the manic panic. The red is an orange-y red and very bright!

Love/Unlove : Manic Panic - Rockabilly Blue
I love this color but I hate that it stains my skin so badly! I need to find a replacement for this. I am so of having a blue tinged face and neck.

Love : Shampoo Bars
I have been trying one of Fortune Cookie Soap solid shampoo bars a lovely lady in a facebook group sent me a sample of Something Tropical. I have used it maybe three times so far. I like it, it seems to clean my hair nicely. I also have used a shampoo and conditioner bar from Soapily Ever After a few times as well. I like using them a lot more than the traditional liquid shampoos and conditioner. *I am afraid to wash my hair with this or any other shampoo really because I just know that the red dye is going to come right out :(

Love : Haus of Gloi - Sanctum
I picked this up last year when they have their summer collection avalible. I finally just tested it out. At first I thought I wanted to die it was so, sickly sweet, but then as it mellowed out I had a nice, but still very sweet, scent. I feel like, at least on me, the melon really comes out. It reminds me of something, but I cannot figure it out at all!

FOTD : Fyrinnae Shenanigans and Darling Girl Stupid Parlor Tricks - 7/22/2014

On the high that was yesterday's victorious eye makeup, I decided to do it again! Warning: picture heavy. I was trying to really capture the beauty of Shenanigans and Stupid Parlor Tricks. Crappy cell pictures for now, because I don't have anything to get the photos off my actual memory card until I get home.

  What I used:

 Eyes:
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Glamour Doll Eyes Foil Me
Fyrinnae Shenanigans - crease
Darling Girl Bonne Nuit - inner 1/3 of lid
Darling Girl Stupid Parlor Tricks - all over lid
Wet N Wild Brulee - browbone to crease
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express
ELF Eyebrow Kit Dark

Lips:
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

Face:
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
ELF Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain
ELF High Definition Powder
Darling Girl Neon Trees

Everyday is an adventure.

EOTD : Darling Girl London Calling and Fyrinnae Orangutan - 7/21/2014

Ah so we meet again! I wasn't entirely happy with the last look I did, so I did another one today. Seems legit. I decided to go nice and simply, using only three eyeshadows in total. I think sometimes that simplicity is best, but I will leave that to you to decide.

What I used:

Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Glamour Doll Eyes Foil Me
Fyrinnae Orangutan
Darling Girl London Calling
Wet N Wild Brulee
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion
ELF Eyebrow Kit in Dark

So what do you think, better? I think the blending is better and the overall shape is more what I am going for. I am still trying to figure out how to place and blend a dark color in my crease and outer lid area.

Everyday is an adventure.

FOTD : Color Palette Challenge - I LOVE CABBAGE

The makeup group I am in started doing challenges and I am ready to dive into this one. Do a look inspired by a color palette. I hopped right over to design seeds to peruse for some inspiration. This photo and color palette jumped out at me. I love the look of the red cabbage and I have been obsessed with dark purple eyeshadows lately so, win-win.

from http://design-seeds.com

I took this challenge as an excuse to finally do a nice dramatic eye look. I have been tending to stick to neutral eyes and a bright lip. Its an easy, lazy look that I can do for work or a party. Lazy, lazy, lazy. (Also I just really love lipstick.)

Products used

Eyes:
Milani Eye Primer
Tick:Tock Cosmetics Eyeshadow Base - Milky Way
Femme Fatale - Spirit Bond
Glamour Doll Eyes - Vigilante
Darling Girl - Die, Die My Darling
Tick:Tock Cosmetics - Awkward Moment
Chinovi-  Cloud
Wet N Wild - Brulee
Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara
ELF Eyebrow Kit - Dark

Lips:
NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil - New Lover

Face:
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
ELF Flawless Finish Foundation - Porcelain
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

I really love Femme Fatale Spirit Bond. It is a gorgeous dark purple with a really pretty copper sheen! I wish more of that sheen would have shown up in this look. Die, Die My Darling really shines with its pinky sparkles in real life. :)

I haven't done much eye-wise in quite a while. I am not entirely pleased with the shape I made, and feel like I could stand to practice blending even more than I needed to before. Overall I am pleased with the look though, as I really think it didn't turn out TOO bad. What do you think? 

Everyday is an adventure.

I dyed my hair...

Weekly Loves and Unloves - 7/1-7/15

Last week I didn't wear much makeup it was so hot and humid but over the past two weeks I have used some products I have enjoyed and some I just cannot stand.

Love :  ZOYA nail polish
I had worn Wednesday for, like, two weeks with minimal wear. I am currently wearing Shawn and just have a small amount of tip wear.

Unlove : OPI especially Lucky Lucky Lavender
I want to punch this in its face. It was horrible to apply. Its thick and streaky and three coats later I have horrible chipping only a day or two after application. Boo!

Love : BPAL Pumpkin Princess
LOVE THIS PERFUME! 
Description - Before the Grand Dame was the Pumpkin Queen, she was a Pumpkin Princess! Bright, sweet pumpkin with vanilla fluff, guava, chocolate-dusted white amber, tiare, red currant, raw honey, and meringue.

Unlove : Tokyo Milk - Poe's Tobacco No. 1
I have tried to love this so much. I love Poe and the scent notes seemed nice, but to me, it just smells like an old lady for me. 

Description - A decidedly different collection of brilliantly paired fragrance notes housed in an alluring glass bottle decorated with Poe's own raven. Deeply nostalgic: Tobac, Tea Leaves, Amberwood & Autumn Apple

 What have you been loving, unloving, or using a lot these past two weeks?
