Pornstar or Guidette?

Hey everyone! I'm back with a quick FOTD. This is a look that I did last week. I used to LOVE wearing grey eyes with pink lips and cheeks when I used to work at MAC. There's something so sexy about it. I decided to try another lippie out and in the words of Tommy Davidson and David Alan Grier from "In Living Color," I HATED IT!! I felt like a guidette gone pornstar. I liked the subtle smokey eye, but the lip was toooo milky pink.

Here's the look:

Playing with Wedding Makeup

Hello everyone! With my wedding coming up in September, I've been weighing out my options when it comes to everything. Flowers, caterers, venues, decorations, and fabrics....so many options! One thing that I find myself fantasizing over is my look. I want to take my groom's breath away so I've been scouring the bridal magazines and checking out pictures from red carpets to get ideas for makeup looks.

One thing that is pretty trendy in bridal magazines are blush tones like pinks, mauves, and roses. The always have a pink color on the cheeks and a shade a little more berry than the natural lip color. I thought that I already knew that I wanted to wear a earthy brown tone on the lid, and a bold red lip but I thought it would be fun to try out a bunch of potential wedding looks and share them with you all. It will allow me to be more open minded and explore other options. I have plenty of time to do this and I am so excited to play with my makeup. Although I won't be doing my own makeup that day, I think it will help my artist in knowing exactly what I want.

If you ain't in a hurry then why you PRUSSIAN?!

Hello new and usual followers! I love signing onto Blogger to see I have new friends! *Group Hug* Ok, now that we're more aquainted, lets get on with this wonderful Friday! Hope everyone's week went well. Last week, I did an FOTD using my beloved MAC e/s Prussian. I've always been an advocate of MAC's Matte Squared shadows because of the color payoff and the velvety smooth texture of them. They are the newest formula of MAC shadows and I hope they stay around for a long time!

On a side note, I've been having technical difficulties with my new lil Acer netbook. I'm not too tech savvy and I'm having trouble connecting to the router in my home. Knowing me, it's probably my router's problem more than it is my lil Acer. I bought this Acer in hopes to be a better blogger. I'm on the go often and don't like coming from work where I sit at a desk on a computer all day to my desk at home to sit in front of my iMac. The Acer will allow me to blog on my train, or anywhere else I may be. I vow to keep up with my posts and looks from now on because I've realized that this is something I really love to do and I hate that I've fallen off. I got myself a planner to jot down all my blog ideas and schedules and I want to be a better, more organized blogger and MUA in 2010!

Burning Hot Wide Eyed Look

Happy Monday folks! The monday-itis has hit me HARD today! I couldn't get out of my warm bed..the only thing that got me out today was the money that is out there to be made! Anywho, I have done a few FOTD's this weekend. I decided to get dolled up for my movie date night with my fiance. We saw, "Youth and Revolt," in which Michael Cera was very akwardly funny. He did an amazing job portraying his alter ego, Francois. LOL. You guys should see it if you usually like Michael Cera's comedies.

Here is the look I did from that night. I wore mostly black so I decided to put a pop of color in my crease. I've been wanting to play with my OCC loose colours more so I pulled out Burning..a bright reddish hot pink with subtle shimmer. It was soooooo easy to work with and a little goes such a long way! This would be so gorgeous mixed with gloss! It would definately give your lips a punch! Hmmm..I should do a post on using piggies in glosses. *note to self*

Here's the look! I call it "Wide-Eyed" because of the technique used with the white pencil in the waterline. I lined my lower lash line with a black pencil to open up my eyes a bit and VOILA...instant eye opener. I decided that I need to use MAC's Carbon a lot more. I've been into smokey looks and I am soooo happy I got a new one in my latest Back to MAC binge. I actually have a buttload of recyclables at home and want to get new shadows. Any recommendations on the new launches? I haven't researched any new launches in ages because I'm trying to rack up the dough for the wedding!
