Being A Trouble Maker with Urban Decay!

I had been planning on getting this eye look out for a couple of weeks, but my kitty committee comes first! What ended up happening was we found 4 kittens in our backyard, back in May and I essentially adopted all of them, ontop of the three I already had. Bahah Crazy Cat Lady status over here! Anyways, shortly after my last post, two of them got Upper Respiratory Infections, so I have been dealing with that, and another has a nice little scratch through her third eyelid, so we are waiting on her Vet appointment to get it taken care of. So they have really been taking up the biggest majority of my time. I do have 5 posts (including this one) that I do plan on getting published before the end of the month, and more planned! So please bear with me, while I try and get them out, in a bigger influx than intended... Now to go dry off the kitten who fell into the water dish before I go and finish typing this post!


All dry! Let's get cracking.

I got the Urban Decay Trouble Maker palette as a gift from my best friend Melissa (@Cloversetlettering) and I have been obsessed with it ever since, especially Riot. Y'all know how much I love my bronze colors. 

I can't even tell you how many times, at this point that I have worn this color, that is how in love with it I am! I'm not going to do a review or anything of the colors in this post, only because that is another post that I have planned. 

Eyes

• Bailout - Base
• Riot - All over lid & Lower lashes
• After Hours - Outer corner & Crease
• Clash - Used to darker the outer corner and the crease
• NYX Proof It! eye shadow primer
• Urban Decay Trouble Maker Mascara
• be a .... bombshell eyeliner - Onyx

Face

• Rimmel London Lasting Finish Breathable Primer
• Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation - Ivory
• Wet n Wild Correcting Palette
• Airspun Loose Face Powder - Translucent Extra Coverage

I need to start remembering to use my The Body Shop Darkening drops...because my foundation is currently too light for me, from my occasional sun exposure. I didn't end up doing my brows...I think I am back in that stage where I kind of refuse to do them, until I can get them professionally taken care of.. which is another thing that I keep putting off. ha!

Anypoodles,

What do you think? I'm pretty dang chuffed with out this turned out, but really, when it comes to bronze eye shadows, I don't think I can go wrong really!

Have you ever just been totally feeling your eye makeup?! I'm sure you can tell that I was when I did this makeup! Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take a full face shot because I was so excited about it.

-_- Total fail. 

Products Used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

MAC Cranberry (lid)

Stilazzi MS16 (crease/outer corner)

Urban Decay Virgin (inner corner)

Urban Decay Sidecar (to blend)

Crown Brush Ultra Skinny Eye Marker

*Mustaev Maxi Volume Mascara

*I Make You Beautiful Lock On Lash Glue

*Elevation Lashes by Danessa Myricks - Thrive 023

Mehron Mixing Liquid (for cranberry)

I used the Mehron Mixing Liquid with Mac's Cranberry and I just love how it gave me such a gorgeous color on the lid! Usually I have to use multiple layers and it still doesn't look like this and or it fades insanely quick.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I usually can't wear false eye lashes. They give me a migraine after about 5 minutes and are way too heavy on the lid. These lashes by Elevation Lashes are AMAZING! I'm going to be doing a separate review later on down the road, but let me just say the Thrive 02 are comfortable and amazing!

Just look at them! So pretty!


Have a fantastic day!

Hello hello!

I hope that you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving if you are in the US! Mine was ....well lets just say it went from uneventful and stressful to a party!

I thought that this was a nice look for Thanksgiving it wasn't too out there and it combined my love of neutrals with my love of color. You can't go wrong there! Also, I must mention, the lip gloss that I wore in the post, I ACTUALLY wore out. So yeah, we are slowly getting somewhere with me wearing lip colors! *high five* Heck, I might even wear a red out for my birthday ! :O

Colorful Smoky Eye Of The Day

Today has been the first time that I've put on makeup in ages. Usually when I go an eye look I post them on Instagram  It shows that the last time I put makeup on was a week ago, and that's because I was working on a look for a blog post coming later this week...well, I've had the flu and a horrible time with it as well. I've finally felt good enough to slather some makeup on my eyes.

Part of me wanted POW In your face bright makeup, but I decided to just go with the flow and I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out! You're going to have to forgive me for the fact that the lighting is off in the pictures. I have to get used to using my camera again and the lighting has been a bit of a struggle for me..ontop of the fact that in the preview the pictures look spectacular and in focus and upon importing their complete crap. Woe is me. Anyways to the makeup which you're all here to see!

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Wet n Wild Brulee (base)
Sugarpill 2am & Velocity (layered in crease)
Urban Decay Creep (used to darken crease)
Sugarpill Acidberry (lid)
Urban Decay Cobra (lower lashline)
Mac FluidLine Black Track
LashEm Extensions In A Bottle Mascara

Cranberry Smoke

I had no idea what to call this post. I asked Chris and he said "Hazel me blue"...men..especially him lol.. Silly silly.

This is a look I did the other night just out of the blue, I was going to work on some Halloween makeup looks until I realized I barely had any makeup remover, so it resulted in just ONE look for now. I know tomorrow is Halloween and I'm going to try and work on something awesome! I just hope that it works out! I need to see if I have the costume for it. >D Anyways, so this is the look I came up with! Thank you too Tricia for helping me think of a name! I was hung up on something else, but it didn't fit and Chris' definitely didn't fit at all! :P

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Wet n Wild Brulee (All over lid as well as under the eye brow)

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metals Electric Blue (All over lid as base for something a little extra)

Sugarpill Love+ (Center of lid)

FACE:

So for this being an on the whim look, I like how it turned out ! I used to really love doing dark looks many moons ago, and I'm starting to like them again! I would do wear this on Halloween!

Work Appropriate Eye Makeup

This isn't one of the looks that I was going to do for Halloween, but I kind of forgot to write down the list of products that I used before I jumped on the computer, so that will be the next post coming up! First I do want to show you all a perfect example of a work appropriate eye. Now, a lot of people aren't able to wear bright colored shadows to work, When I worked at Hess, we were supposed to only wear neutral shadows but luckily I had 2 managers who were totally okay with me wearing funky colors eye makeup as long as it wasn't something that would interfere with work and what not. But this example is a good one of something that could be apropriate in all kinds of settings!

On Instagram, taking pictures through the lens of my glasss has become a kind of typical thing for me. Especially since people are always asking about makeup that is appropriate for glasses. Girls/Guys wear whatever you want! It's all glasses apropriate! ..well except for maybe crazy false lashes! :P

Dem bags!

Products:

• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Urban Decay Gunmetal (crease/outer corner)
• Urban Decay Verve (lid)
• Urban Decay 24/7 Eye liner - Perversion
• L'Oreal Lacquer Liner - Slate
• Givenchy Nior Couture 4-in-1 Mascara

I REALLY love how this turned out! Then again I'm sure I've done this look pleanty of times! I'm sure you're all tired of seeing me doing neutral looks though! :P

I figured that to spice this look up a little bit I would pair it with two lip colors!
The first lip color I used was L.A. Girls Glazed Lip Paint in Hot Mess.
I think this is a gorgeous orange-y lip color that could definitely work, well for work!

The second lip color I went with is much darker and it's Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anita.

This is probably my darkest lip color and while I LOVE wearing it, I rarely do! Y'all know that i am NOT a lip girl, but I'm trying to change this! I applied this very lightly to give it more of a sheer look!

What do you think? Is this something that you would wear for work?! Or just wear out during the day?!

Eye Of The Day 09-19-2014

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well!! This look is from a few days ago...okay like 5 days ago. I do have some reviews up and I will be having a full review of this entire collection coming up within the next few days, I just need to get some other reviews up and out first.

If you can't tell I have been absolutely obsessed with BFTE's Pumpkin EVERYTHING! collection. Unfortunately you can't purchase it anymore because it was a LE collection. The colors for me just embody everything that has to do with Fall. I'm going to stop gushing and leave it all for the review!

For this look I wanted to use all four shadows, so I did. >D

Products Used::

▪Too Faced Shadow Insurance
▪BFTE Cosmetics -

▫Pumpkin Everything

▫Pumpkin EVERYTHING!

▫Pumpkin Patch
▫Pumpkin Glow

▪Urban Decay 24/7 Liner - Demolition

▪Givenchy Nior Couture 4-in-1 Mascara

▪L'Oreal Lacquer Liner - Dark Slate

I know, 4 pictures for one eye look?! Ridiculous, but I just love how it turned out. Part of me is glad that I used the Dark Slate eyeliner instead of a regular black, I feel like it does something special for the entire look! 

Also, my friend Melissa has made the switch from traditional blogging to being a YouTuber, check her channel out HERE!

Neutral Eye Look with Silver Winged Liner

Purchased Myself / Press Sample

Hola! I hope you all are having an awesome morning! Or day...depending where you are of course! It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? :P 

I'm going to warn you right now, I have an obscene amount of pictures for this post. 

*jumping high five* I found the notebook that had all of the products that I used written in it! I managed to NOT lose it this time! :D

This is one way to add a little something extra to your normal regular work makeup, without making it inappropriate for work. You always need that little pop of something to make something so mundane, fun. 

As always, my base for this look was Urban Decay Primer Potion 

Shadows used:
Urban Decay;;
   Blackout (crease)
   Creep (crease)
   Naked (crease & eye brows)
   Buck (crease & eye brows)

Whip Hand Cosmetics
    Rocket (entire lid)
Liner(s);
NARS Eye Paint - Interstellar (silver)

Sugarpill Tiara (to set Interstellar)Cattiva Black eyeliner (waterline)

Mascara;;
L'Oreal - Miss Manga (original)

               Miss Manga (waterproof)

              Collagen Black (waterproof)

Rimmel Stay Matte 011 Natural

I used quite a bit of products on my eyes, but honestly I really loved the look! I absolutely love wearing Rocket by Whip Hand Cosmetics! It's such a unique color! 

Here's a full face shot, so you can see it in its entirety. 

You KNOW I had to add pictures of Anya too this post, just because it was kind of funny. I didn't realize she was in the back..and then she started judging me. Judging cat is very judging...I love her though, she is to cute!

The Whip Hand Cosmetics eye shadow in Rocket and the Nars eye paint in Interstellar were provided for PR purposes. Everything else was purchased by me with my own money.

Peacock! Eye look!

Hello my dears!

This post has been sitting un-written for well over a month! Can you believe it?! such a shame right?! I wore this look to work, and you will not believe the amount of funky looks I got that day. I mean, really now?! Do people not believe in colored eyeshadow?! It must be such a strange thing. *eye roll*

ANYWAYS, I shall keep trucking on, wearing my bright and colorful eye shadows! Now, I am a wee-bit fuzzy on a couple of products that I used... okay I'm fuzzy on one product. I had everything written down.. or typed actually on wordpad and my computer crashed before I could put it into the post. Failzor! :O

Someone told me that this reminded them of a Peacock! What does it remind you of?!

Any-piddle

Products Used: 
Primer ; Urban Decay Primer Potion
Eyeshadow(s) ; Sugarpill Acidberry & Velocity
Eyeliner ; Milani Eye Tech Extreme - Black
Mascara ; Ellis Faas

I really love wearing Acidberry and Velocity together. They really compliment each other!

What do you think?! Is this a combination you would ever try?!

The Mercurial Mermaid

Hello everyone!

The palette that is going to be the main focus of today's look was gifted too me by the lovely Beauty Budget Splurge. I've had it sitting around for a couple of weeks and just never got around to using it. Instant regret when I tried the first shadow! Just wow! They're extremely pigmented! Anyways, anyways back to the topic at hand! The lewk!
This post is going to be set up differently, kind of. Since there's not specific shadows to list, I'll just

The palette I used was the Profusion Endless Jewels eyeshadow kit.

I only ever see profusion products around Christmas time because they're affordable makeup kits. I typically skip them, not because they're cheap, but.. well I never know how the pigmentation will be in them to be honest. I have to say though, I am blown away by this palette and I've used only two shadows!! 

In my crease I used a maroon-ish brown. It's absolutely stunning!

For my lid I used a blue-ish green..this would be considered what? Teal? Educate me please. :P I've been debating about it all day. I shall call it teal and call it a day!

For my "liner" I used NARS Eye Paint in Interstellar **

I tight lined with Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner in Perversion

For Mascara I used Ellis Faas's Mascara. **

Urban Decay Primer Potion

I quite like LOVE how this turned out! As per the title of this post, this look, well the teal eyeshadow really reminds me of The Mercurial Magpie. I freaking love Kirby! Girl, next time I'll do funky wings! :P  

I wore this look to work and it's extremely wearable if you're wanting to give your eyes an extra pop of color and wear something other than neutral shadows.


The NARS Eye paint as well as the Ellis Faas mascara were provided for free from the brands and The Makeup Show. The Profusion palette was a gift. 

A couple eye looks!

Hello and welcome to today's unconventional post!

Every time I do my makeup, I try to get a few pictures of it, so I can use it for a blog post, most times I fail greatly at getting pictures that can be used. However, I did manage to get a couple of decent pictures to show you all the makeup that I've worn! I try to make it a goal to wear makeup to work but sometimes, I'm either way too tired or I just don't feel like taking the time to apply it.

For the above looked I used;;

Wet n Wild Flirting At The After Party

Sugarpill - 2AM

Milani Extreme Eye Tech Liner

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - Demolition

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Mascara

I used the two darkest shadows as well as 2AM in the crease. I also used the lavender shadow (3rd shadow on the left) all over the lid

This is the makeup that I wore on mothers day. I wish I could have photographed this better because I quite like how it turned out.

What I used;
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Whip Hand Cosmetics Pure Pigment - Rocket (crease)
Sugarpill Cosmetics - Asylum (lid)
Cara Pigment - Dakota Glimmer (inner corner)**
Milani Extreme Eye Tech Liner
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner - Perversion
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Mascara
Essence All Eyes On Me Mascara
Senna Cosmetics Brow X

I feel like I have angry-brows. I really need to get them shaped because they're bothering the heck out of me. That shall be my goal for the next week or something. To get my caterpillars done! Woo! I'm going to try harder to get decent pictures of my makeup though! Instead of sitting and trying to use flash or just the one light. :P I'm such a lazy bones. But alas I hope yo all are doing well! 

Oh! I ended up having to return the Stila and Essence mascaras unfortunately. They both burn my eyes really bad, so instead of trying to suffer and itch my eyes, I just took them back. Plus, I wasn't greatly impressed by either mascara, especially that Stila one, it was full o fail.
