One of those "looked better in real life" FOTDs

A problem with me loving stuff with awesome shimmers and sparkles, is the camera doesn't pick them up well and then in the pics it just looks booooring. This look wasn't boring though in real life. More neutral than usual but with greeny gold sparkly shimmer awesomeness.
Like MAC's Black Line pearlglide eyeliner, it's crazy shimmery as you can see in the swatch here but in these pics, you can barely see the shimmer in my lower lash line.

Meh
Whatever
PICTURE TIME!

I used:
Eyes~
TFSI
Aromaleigh Love Note on lid
Aromaleigh Viburnum in crease
Persephone Pegasus in inner corner
Burberry Trench 02 on browbone
Joe Fresh Black felt pen eyeliner
Mac Black liner lower lashline
Rimmel Sexy Curves Blackest Black mascara

Lips~
Burberry Ruby Lip Cover






And I got tired of looking at my shit ass eyebrows so I decided to crop them out the next 2 cuz THAT'S HOW I ROLL!




Whole face minus some forehead because I didn't feel like looking at that either...



And then the lipstick wore off through dinner, so here's it afterwards.



In more makeuppy news, MAC's Quite Cute collection is now available. Spend over $90 and you get some cute pins.

Just a warning, the site is SO FUCKING ANNOYING right now, all these little pictures hopping around for you to click, it's too chaotic and I couldn't wait to hit "checkout" :/

Shimmery Neutral

What up

I had to do my makeup fast because the store we wanted to go to closed at 6 and it was 4:30 when I started painting meh face.

Turquiose and red are 2 shades I have out because I wanna try that combo again but those 2 colours need time, and that I didn't have. So neutrals won!

I used Aromaleigh and my new Burberry Trench.

It turned out pretty neat, my browns-loving mom would be proud :D

I used:
TFSI
Lid: AL Pavane
Crease: AL Chronos
Browbone: Burberry Trench
Liner: Physicians Formula glam somethingorother for Brunettes in Black shimmer (this stuff looked just black in the pot but when I swiped, it had all these awesome copper sparkles in it!)
Lower liner: Chronos again

Undereyes: MAC Select Moisturecover concealer in NW20
Aromaleigh Coquille powder Nectarine dusted on top. If I don't use powder, this stuff settles in lines and I look wonderfully cakey. Also Nectarine adds more light and slight sparkles so I look more awake anyways :)

Face: MAC toolightformyface NC20 (yup wrong shade also, I win hard) Fix Fluid mixed with Rimmel Stay Matte True Ivory
Aromaleigh Peaches and Cream High Resolution powder (very upset I didn't get into powders before the closure, this stuff is a dream)

Cheeks: Aromaleigh Rocks Rouge in Cherrybomb
Claires baked nonbronzer bronzer dusted on top for gold shimmer

Lips: Mac Kumquat

Pavane-y goodness. Doesn't show the golden bits very good, but I love it. I have 2 backup jars. It be spechul

Chronos. Also has mega sparkle that refuses to show up good


Big dumb awkward head on crooked face

I ruined it by getting mascara on my lid :( Battries were dying so I couldn't fix it to take another picture.


Blurry but shows the lovely sheen nicely



And there you have it! I haven't shown my fulll head in awhile. Stress made me zitty yet crazy dry and peely and puffy and I didn't feel like subjecting you guys to that kind of ugly torture. How on Earth can your skin be so frikkin oilslicky on half the face and then so dry your nose peels!?! Hormones/chemistry/genetics, you blow buddy.

Barbie Loves Aromaleigh, my Barbie Loves Mac look using Aromaleigh

Ever since I saw Panacea81's youtube video on her Barbie Loves Mac look, it's been my favourite colour combo look. I didn't own any of the colours at the time (now have springtime skipper and playful, good ol ebay) I didn't even know a collection existed but it looked fun to do.

This is mac's look




I decided to do my version of the Barbie Loves Mac look using Aromaleigh.



I was going to attempt the look using a different company every day but in a day and a half I'll be going home for Christmas and will be too busy to keep my mind going straight.

Today I used:
Lid: Cricket with Le Mystere 106 on top to tone the lime down (106 on me tends to turn a bit muddy looking by itself) Mac uses Springtime Skipper
Crease: Pure Hues (disc) Tarnish and Pewter mixed together. Mac uses Mothbrown I believe. Not a clue what that is so browny grey seemed to be the colour that came to mind.
Just above crease: Flying Flower. It was tricky to blend my dark line with Flying Flower, that TFSS makes everything stick a little TOO good!
Hilight: Pixie Cup. Mac uses Whistle I think
Below eyes: Cricket with Le Mystere 106 again
Eyeliner: Urban Decay Zero. I need a pencil sharpener asap. This thing was so dull. I carefully drew the line and had to use a slanted eyeliner brush to wing it out, therefore dulling it into a DIVET!
Mascara: Rimmel Glam eyes

Cheeks: Aromaleigh Dolly

Lips: Aromaleigh Headoverheels

Ignore the very "unbarbie hair". Had to go to work. Can't have flowy voluminous hair getting caught in conveyor belt. And the red clashes with the pink anyways :P








I was thinking of using falsies as well but I am not good enough to throw them on quick and then realized it would cover the damn eyeliner I worked so hard to get right!



I hope you like it :)

Christmas Party Makeupz!

I wasn't very sure what I wanted for my Christmas part look and then I remembered my Aromaleigh Holiday Blast collection! I didn't have as much time as I would have liked because I remembered I forgot to dye my hair! So I did that first. Feria R68 Rich auburn True red Ruby Rush (seriously, how many different ways do they have to say "red"? They should name them like eyeshadows, "Today I shall dye my hair Bumblebee, Unicorn has faded and I'm still trying to cover up Zelda's Revenge")

Awesome :)

I used:
Eyes!
Too faced shadow insurance yo
Aromaleigh holiday blast Regifted (lid) Champagne Toast (Hilight)
Stardust Cosmetics Equinox (crease) Cashmere Mittens (on top of Champagne Toast for less pinky colour)
Meow Cosmetics Coffin (tried to wetline the eyeliner, I pretty much blow at it)
False Quo eyelashes that I bought at Halloween time. I think these are my fav so far
Urban Decay eyeliner Zero, to try to get rid of the "blank" bits from where the lashes separated.

Face!
Korres face primer (sample from Sephora, not liking it much but I ran out of Fyrinnae's silica gel primer)
Rimmel 103 True Ivory (whoda thunk a half native would wear a shade with the word "Ivory" in it??)
Aromaleigh Coquille powder in Apricot under eyes
Physicians Formula translucent medium powder to set meh face
Mac Hello Kitty blush in Fun & Games
Physicians Formula Pearls of Perfection to add more sparkly and blend blush smoothly
Clare's baked "Bronzer" (not bronzer I swears it! lots of yellow gold instead of brown) on top of blush for extra shimmer niceness

LIPS!
Avon Mark hook up gloss in Girly Girl

Lots o pictures! I was pretty happy with how it all turned out. Ignore the uglyass bathrobe and see a tree! :D
Necklace is my super duper Betsey Johnson necklace I bought at a boxing day sale from Holt Renfrew last year. I think it was on sale because CHARMS WERE MISSING! Dammit. Didn't even know until I got home, googled it to try to find the matching bracelet and saw in pictures that mine was missing stuff. Oh well. Good thing about a charm necklace, you can't tell!

Except now.
Cuz I told you
Geeze.

:)

And now, final product!



Ugly ass bathrobe, PRETTY XMAS TREE!







Now I wish I had a second party to go to so I can do it all over again :D
