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.

Whip Hand Cosmetics Pigment - Rocket

Press Sample

Whip Hand Cosmetics is a makeup company based in Detroit. I don't want to call them Indie, because they're not exactly an Indie company BUT they're not mainstream like Urban Decay either. They're up there in ranks with Sugarpill Cosmetics. Hopefully one day We'll see WHC in Sephora or Ulta.

When I was asked if I'd like to review one of their eye shadows, I'm sorry but I had to jump at the chance. Last year I purchased a creme eye shadow and a lip creme and fell in love with them! They're really amazing and their creme shadows, even with oily lids you don't need a primer. Anyways anyways, I'm getting off topic. See what happens when I get so busy with work and blogging takes a backseat. I ramble. :P

The Pure Pigment Loose Eyeshadow I decided to try out was Rocket. This is an eyeshadow that I've been wanting to try since I was introduced to them via Beauty Army. 

Rocket is a taupe/brown that has a blue duo-chrome shift to it.

You may look at the packaging and go "ugh that looks like a pain in the bleep to use!", it's actually not. The opening it quite a lot bigger than it looks, which is nice. I don't use giant eye shadow brushes, so this is perfect for me. You can decant them into a different jar if you so with though!

Whip Hand Cosmetics (or they spell is Cosmetiques now), houses their pigments in glass vials. The glass itself it pretty thick considering so I don't think there is any kind of worry in it breaking, unless it fall onto a hard surface. 

I'm sure you're all dying to see a swatch right?! Let me state this now I did not use a primer under this shadow, the only reason you would need a primer is to make it last all night or if you have oily lids. I show you a picture of it on my finger because I want you to see how much there was when I swatched it. As you can tell, there isn't much, I just tipped the jar and tapped off the excess.

It was raining outside so I had to use my daylight bulbs inside. You can see the blue shift slightly as well as you can see just how pigmented this is on it's own with no primer. I wore Rocket for a good 16+ hours without it creasing or fading. I wish I could fully explain to you how in love with this eyeshadow I am! It's gorgeous and unfortunately I did have an accident with it and lost half of it in the grass when I was trying to photograph it. *cries silently* I do wish I would have been able to capture the blue shift better. Darn you mother nature! :P

I definitely plan on getting more of their pigments and well, their creme shadows as well because they're all really gorgeous! I HIGHLY recommend Whip Hand Cosmetics to anyone and everyone who is wanting good products. Not only that but you're supporting a "smaller" brand and keeping them in business! 

Rocket retails for $14 and you get 3g of product.

St.Patricks Day Eye Makeup

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well! There was going to be MULTIPLE looks, using Drugstore and High end eye shadows but my eyes are really irritated and while I DID have multiple looks done, none of the pictures came out decent. BOO! I hate when that happens. ANYWAYS, enough complaining!

Eugenia of Geniabeme.com put together this awesome link up with the Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida! It was pretty awesome for her to put this together! I know a lot of the girls are doing nails, but we all know how bad of shape mine are in, plus my hands are in worse shape. So I'd rather not show them till I can get them looking decent again. So I went with Makeup!

I'm really sorry about my eye being so red -_- I'm lucky I managed to finish doing my makeup and got the pictures. =^_^=

What I used:;;
Milani Eyeshadow Primer 01 Nude
Whip Hand Cosmetics Cream Eyeshadow - Thermal
Urban Decay Loose Pigment Eyeshadow - Protest (crease/outer corner)
L'Oreal HiP Shocking Shadow Pigment - 314 Rebel
Milani Extreme Eye Tech Liquid Liner - Black

Unfortunately, as you can tell Rebel transferred a little bit, which is okay with me. You, nor I wouldn't have noticed it if my eye wasn't closed.  I didn't wear any mascara or eye liner in my waterline.

I'm actually pretty impressed with how it turned out. This isn't what I had originally planned but I wanted to throw some drugstore shadows in there!

This was the orignaly look that I did, with a winged liner but I forgot to take a full face shot with both eyes. The only thing different about this look is I used Urban Decay Bender on the Lid instead of HiP Rebel. I also used UD Loose Eyeshadow Pigment in Grafitti on the lower lash line. I REALLY LIKED this one, but already had it taken off before I realized I didn't take a full face shot. Blogger fail. Boo.

Anyways! What do you think!? Will you be rocking green eyeshadow on St.Patricks day?!

FOTD #8 - Blogger Inspired

Hello everyone!

This FOTD is inspired by a look that A Brilliant Brunette did a couple of days ago on her blog. It's her Ocean Sunrise Eyes look/tutorial. I absolutely LOVED it the moment I saw it and wanted to re-create it. 

Granted hers looks a million times better, but hey, I tried. That's all that counts! :P

Check out my re-creation after the jump!

FOTD #3

Heyyyyyy Sexy Ladies!
(and Handsome guys)

Today is FOTD El número tres!


I didn't really have any inspiration for today's FOTD except Chris' favorite colors. That's just about it honestly.

Sorry about the whole mascara flakes above my eye, I didn't even notice them when I bloody took the pictures. Oh well! Tis life!!!
