Hunger Games Inspired: Rue

This look was requested by Robyn so I was much obliged... I mean, how could I not? Rue is awesome!

Rue is from District 11, whose specialty is agriculture -- specifically, orchards, grain and cotton. I went with the orchard theme and did my look with mostly greens. I used a light matte pink on my waterline that you unfortunately can't see in photos, but in person it looks like a flower blossom amongst the green or something. I also used a glowy blush to give a youthful look (Rue is only 12) and a pale pink lipstick, again for a younger look. As a side note, I wore an apple printed shirt, just to be quirky ;-).

The photos really don't do this look justice -- 412P from Inglot is a REALLY intense shimmering green with gold flash and it made the entire look shine.

FOTD/OOTD/NOTD: Deja Vu

I haven't been doing much in the way of interesting makeup lately. Well, it's interesting to me, but not worth blogging about. Does anyone else have that weird tendency? As in, it comes out pretty but is it worth putting on the blog? Hmmm...

I pulled out my Sleek Circus palette thanks to looks from Azure and Phlox at Eye Graffiti and Robyn as well. They were using bits from the palette and coming up with fantastic looks. I opened the palette and was immediately drawn to green and purple for today. I went to edit the pics and realized that this FOTD is grotesquely similar to one I did in September (here). I actually prefer today's version, but hopefully you don't hate me too much for doing the same thing!

For my OOTD, it's the day before Thanksgiving here and I will likely be let out early, so I wore something casual to work (yes, it's Pikachu):

Blazer: Candie's brand, from Kohl's

T-Shirt: Kohl's

Dress Pants: New York & Company

Shoes: Rack Room? Not sure

Lastly, my nails, which I painted yesterday. Macro makes everything look terrible, but what can you do? The base polish is 'Jade' from Forever21 (I put that in quotes because there's a ton of their polishes named Jade) with China Glaze Snow Globe over top. I really love this combo but the F21 polish was taking FOREVER to dry, so much so that 4 hours after I painted it, I managed to smudge an entire nail off! (You can see where some of the tips smudged in the picture, boo.)

FOTD: Sugarpill Bit 'O Fail (and OOTD)

Sorry I haven't been posting much! I've been using my Meow shadows and I seem to have a major problem with creasing and fading for some reason. I'm not sure why. I thought it was the shadows, so today I used Sugarpill instead but I've already got a tiny bit of fading on my left eye and it's been about 2 hours since I applied the shadows. I'm really at a loss -- I don't understand why I'm having issues. I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance, let it dry, then apply Darling Girl Glitter Glue (a tiny amount), let it get tacky, then the shadows. I've never had this many issues before.

As for this being a bit of a fail, I realized after I did the look that on the last Sugarpill look I did, I used blue on the lower lashline. Probably the same color. Ugh... I need some inspiration on different shapes to do. I'm feeling a little boring. It doesn't help that I'm very annoyed with my camera... it just takes shite pictures of my looks!
