06.10.12 EOTD Muddy Runaway Corpse

Good News Everyone! A new EOTD!


Hey guys! I was in a really awful mood this weekend. Turns out my car is broken beyond repair and its a really hard blow for us because we are a single car family, and this is the only way my husband has to get to work and for us to go anywhere really. We needed to go out quickly for some groceries (thankfully a family member is allowing us to borrow a vehicle atm) .. this weekend, so I threw this on. The full face photos really didn't turn out, but I'm sure it had mostly to do with the terrible mood I was in. So .. I apologize for that. But I really hope you guys still enjoy the look just the same! :D 


What I used:
Darling Girl Cosmetics: Muddy Waters - lid
Moi Minerals: RunAway  - crease
Coastal Scents 88 Palette (original) : Dark Brown - Outer V (&blended into the crease area)
Coastal Scents 88 Palette (original) : White - Highlight
Darling Girl Cosmetics: Corpse Candle -Highlight (sparklies) & inner corner
Moi Minerals: Zim - Lower lash line (2/3rds from outside edge)
Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara: Black Drama
Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner: 05 Everlast - liner & wing
Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil: 01 Black - waterline


Lips: Brazen : Peep Show on top of Haus of Gloi: Banana Lip Balm (I wanted Peep Show to be a bit more sheer/less sticky ) 


.... After mashing my lips together too many times my lip choice didn't really pan out ... I eventually switched to my favorite gloss which atm happens to be: Milani 3D glitzy glamour gloss in Fashion Diva (No photos of this look with this lippie though sorry!) 

To show  which colors I used from the 88 Palette

NTMS: All the Taupes

Never Too Much Sparkle Facebook Group Challenge:
Theme:ALL THE TAUPES

 For Challenges I'm not going to list off products used. It will just be a photo entry for the most part and how I was influenced by the challenge. If you are curious about a particular item I used, please feel free to comment below and I'll do my best to answer!

My influence: I call this look  Fire the Taupe-edos! or Taupe Gun! LoL.. I could go on an on with these taupe puns.. so my influence was just the awesome taupes I have! I've been doing this look or something similar as my go to look lately. It can be pretty much worn anywhere and with my glasses on, I appear to just look put together.


I don't have a ton of taupes, yet..  I'm slowly getting more & more. I love their versatility. And with the amazing taupes with color shifts and duochromes the indie companies keep revealing.. it not only keeps things more interesting to a color fiend like me.. but to be completely honest... I don't even know if I would have ever touched a neutral without their wonderful mad scientistry.. .. so that's pretty cool! :D okay okay. without further babbling .. Here's my look!

Natural indoor light

You can see what it looks more like IRL here. The pretty blue/green duo & sparkles this taupe has. I LOVE it. 

 Ok.. Well.. that's it from me today. If you guys like this taupe look I'll post more. I take photos of all my "plain" or "neutral" hurry up and go looks like this, but figured you'd be bored of seeing all the versions of this same look I have. Just let me know if you'd like to see more! Have a great day!

EOTD 01.25.12 Psychobilly Pinup

Good News Everyone! A new EOTD!

Well.. maybe not an ACTUAL eye of the day. HA! Today is more like a full FOTD.. but I dont really use any face products because I cannot find a suitable foundation. Its super frusterating to say the least. I mean.. look how red/ blotchy I am in these photos. I'm sure a plain medium coverage foundation would cover most of these imperfections. Such a struggle for me. If anyone could suggest a foundation that doesn't make UBER DRY skin look like shedding lizard skin (even when I apply moisturizer to my face (am/pm & right before makeup application) & even add it into the foundation sometimes) I'd be forever in debt to you!  It sucks putting it on.. only to realize you look 20 times worse than your natural skin looked and you PAID moola to look that way. /sigh..  Anyway.. this look was inspired by my love for psychobilly. Its got a retro/ pinup vibe that I love!! It turned out very nice.  Sorry I didn't get any up close photos of just the eye look today. My camera ran outta juice, and I only got 4 or 5 photos to pick from, and all were full face.

What I used:
Beauty From the Earth: Butt Naked - all over eye area, all the way up to the brow.
Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo by EyeStudio:  Tough as Taupe - Blended into the crease & heavier in the outer Vee.
Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara: Very Black
ELF Liquid Eyeliner: #4203 black - eyeliner + wing
Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil: 01 Black - waterline
Wet N Wild: #911D or Stoplight Red - lips

Haha! This was the funniest face I made out of all the photos so I had to share it! 

Instagram app photo. Showing what my face could look like with perfect foundation. LoL.

So.. the only thing I didn't care for were the snobby snobs working at Sephora today. Why do bitches horribly rude/mean women (i call them "countergirls") always gotta work in cosmetic retail? You work retail in a MALL sugar.. don't treat me like I'm an idiot or beneath you or whatever. Its appalling.  I know I'm fat but chill out, I still care what I look like. I boycott going into their physical locations for that exact reason. Don't even get me started on the MAC counter. I literally quake with anxiety just stepping up to one. Way to make your customers feel awesome! I think that's one of the reasons so many people shop online, watch out snobby countergirls, you're gonna be out of a job thanks to the internet if you don't snip the 'tude.
*disclaimer*not ALL retail workers are "countergirls" there are a FEW out there who are lovely and friendly and helpful and are genuine diamonds in a sea of self hating hags who push their insecurities onto unsuspecting victims. and END RANT. :D So how have you all been doing? Hope things are well in your necks of the woods! Glad you stopped by! And don't forget to say hi before you go! :D
