Happy Sunday Babes 🙂

The military trend has had a hold on me since the start of this year, when we first started to see it come into the stores. My fashion merchandising professor had us follow a trend from January until May in a journal of pictures/notes; I chose the military trend. I had to train myself to spot it in stores, on people, in magazines, on TV, everywhere! Over the course of the semester I really came to love the trend. The colors were my favorite part. Olive greens, beiges, browns, and the antiqued gold details can go from day to night and they look good on just about everyone.
Today, I’m in faded jeans, a beige cami, white t, army green sandals with antique gold detail, an antique gold bangle and earrings, and a soft brown worn leather purse. To complement the outfit, I put together the eye look below:

Products used:
-MAC shimmermoss paint pot in the lid, stopping right at the crease and Painterly paint pot from the crease to the brow and along the lower lashes.
-MAC sumptuous olive eyeshadow packed in to the lid and blended up a little bit past he crease. Also blended along the lower lashline.
-Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow duo in Razzle Dazzle, using the gold on the inner corners of the eyes.
-MAC Dazzlelight as a highlight along the brow.
-Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black.
-Stila Eye Kajal in Onyx
-Covergirl Lashblast Fusion mascara in Blackest Black.

Face:
-Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+
-MAC MSF in Medium
-MAC Springsheen blush
-Cargo Bronzer

Lips:
-MAC Pretty Plush Plushglass

What do you think of the military trend?

Hi Beautiful Ladies,

What are you up to on this lovely Saturday? I’ve been home cleaning all day, it’s actually kind of nice! My room is now spotless and everything is reorganized and put away. I’m a neat freak, so a clean room means a smile on my face. Here’s a quick look I did today while playing with colors (I’m trying to think of a good look for my bday celebrations next weekend :-)). The liner is a lot more dramatic and extended than what I would normally wear during the day, but it made me think of Cleopatra at sunset.

It took me about 5 mins to get this look together. Here are the products used:

-Mac Amber Lights eyeshadow all over the lid and along the lower lash line.
-Sonia Kashuk Eyeshadow Duo in Razzle Dazzle; the gold was blended into the inner corners and the highlight was used along the brow.
-Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner.
-Stila Eye Kajal on the waterline.
-MAC Zoomlash mascara.

I’m going to give myself a mani/pedi and watch documentaries on Hulu tonight. What are your plans?

My friend Ashley and I in Vegas earlier this year :-).

Hi Dolls!

I hope your week is coming along pretty well; mine is moving…slowly lol. I got out of work today and came home to give myself a mani/pedi and picked NYX’s Grapefruit as the color. I picked this polish up at a little store near my house for $1.99, not too shabby! The pictures don’t quite capture the color, it is an orange jelly with pink in it…weird description, but that’s what it looks like to me.

Have you tried NYX polishes? What do you think of them?

My friend Becky and her husband Justin on their wedding day a few weeks ago, isn’t she pretty?

Happy Thursday!

Oh my goodness, I am SO ready for tomorrow! I’m meeting my best friends for sushi after work tonight and then doing a little bit of window shopping :-).

My God Sister Liz told me about her cousin Francine’s hand made jewelry and I ordered a couple of earrings, and I am in love! I’ve gotten so many complements on the hoops below and I’m planning an outfit/makeup around the blue jewels for this weekend.

Not only is the jewelry beautiful, but it’s unique and I know that I’m the only one that has them :-). Check out Francine’s Etsy site here .

Do you shop on Etsy?

Ahh!! I can’t wait!!

Hi Dolls!

I know, it’s been forever, right? School and work have beat me up so bad, I’m going to collapse and hibernate for a week after finals. My makeup has been beyond boring the last few weeks because I wake up with only enough energy to put some liner on so I don’t scare people lol. Averaging 5-6 hours of sleep a night has given me some not cute under eye bags, I had no idea how to hide them, and I had to rediscover an eyeshadow that had been put away for a while!

Stila’s Kitten shadow blended into the inner corners of your eyes can brighten them up so much! It distracts from any puffy bags and makes you look awake and alert.  This has been my every day look since the end of March:-).

Revlon Colorstay liner winged out, Covergirl Lashblast, and Kitten eyeshadow blended into the inner corners of the eyes.

How have you all been? What’s your favorite trick to brighten up tired eyes?
