FOTN: Purple & Bluez

HI all! :) This is a quick FOTN that I did (i had this on during the day at work - so sorry if it's fading away like the rest of my makeup lol).. but thought i'd share with you all :)

These are from my laptop.. i'm going to edit this later (uploading my video to YT right now).. and will post them on here later..

Tell me whatcha think?










I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation (liquid) and powder.. I had some great recommendations from MUG, so i'm going to go to the mall tonight (after running some errands) and check them out - I wasn't too sure what the heck color I am because whenever I go to the MAC counter, the makeup looks find there at the store, but when I use the product at home - it's always either way too dark or too light.. but i had some recommendations and i hope it'll be a match.. (i hate having super oily t-zone and dry cheeks)..

But for this FOTN i'm using:

FACE
Revlon Colorstay in Medium Beige
MAC Studio Finish Concealer NW25
MAC Mineralize Blush in Gleeful

EYES
UDPP
BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Edition 2 (for Lid color purple)
Maybelline Expert Eyeshadow Quad Seashore Frosts for Inner corner/Crease/outter corner
Wet N Wild Gel/Cream eyeliner in 886 Black
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in zero on waterline
L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara in Blackest Black


LIPS
Aquaphor
MAC Faux L/S
MAC Cranberry L/L


I'm looking for the perfect face primer for oily skin any recommendations? :)

FOTN: Yellows/Purples (inspired look) & MAC Mini Haul

Okay so.. i was real bored today.. especially when it was just Jasmyn and I at home, while everyone went to pick up my FIL from the airport..

Jasmyn only wanted to watch her Ni Hao Kailan show, and I saw miss Tina Marie Online had posted a new tutorial and I thought to myself.. I don't have enough time to edit my video right now before the gym.. and this was the only chance I had at doing any type of makeup lol.. so i said shooot why not, I need to practice on my blending lol (cause i suck sometimes!)

but anyway this look was inspired by Tina Marie Online, and I know my look is no where near hers as she is a rare talent indeed.. but i loved the colors and her little tutorial - so enjoy!

(please excuse the crooked eyeliner - i'm not used to using liquid eyeliner just yet - since i'm always usually using pencil eyeliner! LOL).. but here ya go! let me know what you think and if you have any CC - i'd love to know what you'd think (be nice lol!)












Gosh - I don't even remember when I went.. but I think on the weekend I went to the mall to check out Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick.. and decided to pick up some brushes while I was at it..

Sorry the lighting sucks ;)


Brushes ;)


and the lipstick.. i'm not even really sure how i like it yet - it's real pink.. i think with a neutral eye it'll look alright.. then again i'm not really used to wearing lipstick, so i probably just don't know how to wear it (any tips?! lol)..

Got My NYX Cosmetics from CherryCulture, FOTN & Some other things too

Okay, i'm really late on this "haul" lol.. okay maybe it's not a haul, since every other freakin post lately has been a Haul.. i SWEAR.. this month has been the only time i've ever bought much make-up since Hubby and I are saving like crazy :)

But anyhow.. :) remember my post about going to ulta and them not having my jumbo eyeshadow pencil in milk and the other lipsticks.. fail x2? lol.. well I finally just decided to freakin buy it from cherryculture.com (which they are having a 20% off sale right now! - so gooo while it's still on!)

I ordered my stuff 02/02/10.. and it came in the mail on 02/04/10.. that was fast! considering i purchased my items on 02/02/10 at like 7PM lol it came bright and early on thursday mornin!

Anyway, to get the the things I got, and am so eager to share them all with you since most of these items were like 1.75 a piece! or something lol..




yay! got my package! lol (blurred out my addy of course)





The lipsticks (Hermes, Indian Pink & Thalia)



Hermes - a brownish with a hint of orangey shade lol i don't know but i like it!


Indian Pink - a light-pinkish with a goldy shade, it's okay on me i think ;)


Thalia - Like a very light mauvy-brown-nude color on me, don't really know how to explain it.. but i actually like it!

(LOL - sorry for the terrible descriptions of the colors haha!)

And finally - the ONE thing i have wanted forever it feels like LOL.. ;)

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow in Milk





I have been wanting this to use as a base for my eyeshadows to get a more vivid look! so YAY! lol.. Can't wait to wear this though! :)



So I found out.. a little too late (when I needed to use it).. that I ran out of my eyeliner (MAC's Graphblack Pencil).. and well the mall was close to closing time and it would take me forever to get my girls ready and then forever to get their.. so i decided to go to target and try out something NEW!...

Well.. I ended up accidentally getting a Loreal Liquid Liner in freaking BROWN because I was dumb and didn't read well.. because I guess I was thinking black, and in my mind i swore it was black, but when i took it home.. it was BROWN! WAHHH lol.. well i didn't think anything of it.. i said.. I guess i'll just try the "natural" look tomorrow for work..

I also got this from target since I was on the hunt for a new chapstick and saw this was a "minty" fresh feeling lol..

I must say that it's not as minty as i want it to be.. but it is minty, but it DOES work! I swear! My lipstick pictures on the other posts, my lips were chapped and peeling.. and the ones i took (that are in this post) my lips are super soft and not dry anymore! and that was only after 2 applications! :) so i like this chapstick.. too bad there was only this one left lol

Anyway, back to my "natural" look.. I did.. and turned out, that it made me look like &#%^%^$%!#@!! lol.. i kept getting asked, "are you still sick?" "ohh.. you look real sick".. i guess cause it looked like i wasn't wearing any liner.. and it ended up just making me look like i had dark bags under my eyes (the shadowing i guess lol).. so lesson learned - never get brown ever.. just doesn't go with me lol..

So on Friday, after work - i didn't have time to go to the mall, since my little one was sick on thursday evening and there was a walgreens right down the street from my work.. so i decided to go.. and i decided to try these out..


Maybelline's Lasting Drama by Eyestudio.. This is a Gel Liner, reminded me of MAC's Fluidline Blacktrack.. but I think this is more creamy/gelly than my Fluidline.. I'm going to give it a try and let you all know what I think about it..




This was the second eyeliner I decided to try out.. because I want to try using Liquid liner, since all i use is pencil.. I thought this would be a good time to try some different eyeliners (types etc).. :) so i'll also get back to you on this one haha ;)


Okay, this is my FOTN, my digital camera has been acting funny, so i couldn't take a good picture, but excuse how i look on My FOTN, can't really see the beautiful colors i used from one of the trio palette's from NYX (i think i'm really starting to l-o-v-e nyx cosmetics! hehe)

but yea i did taxes for 4 hours today (had to accompany my dad, so it's been a long day lol



I'll let you all know how i like the eyeliners :) it'll be a change for me - since i'm sooo used to using pencil liner.. ;) wish me luck!

So I didn't leave that unhappy lol.. What I did do, was just order the rest of what i was wanting on CherryCulture.com I'm pretty excited as it should be coming real soon! i'll post that up soon!

It's almost Valentine's day.. what make-up looks are you going to do? I'm not quite sure yet, as i've been busy with my little ones ;) haven't been able to actually sit and find out what Hubby and I are gonna do anyway..

But anywho.. just thought i'd share my FOTN yesterday and a sweet picture of my girls and i :)
