Just for fun, I was experimenting with lips and came out with this monstrosity, which I will perfect and wear to goth night:























That's all for today!

Wanna get dirty?

Shameless title, I know, but I had to... it's just too easy.

Here is my entry for the Christina Aguilera challenge on Makeup Geek. I started out not intending to it that way but then I realized how similar it was to her style. Instead of copying a direct photo, I wanted to take inspiration from some of her more daring looks:




































She's not afraid of smokey, heavy makeup. I also wanted to convey the idea, more than an exact picture, and also make it more wearable. (Even though I totally wore glasses over this... it's insanely bright in person). If this wasn't before work, I would have attempted Stars 'n Rockets over a black base.
So here are the products I used:

FACE:
- Clinique Redness Solutions base
- Mac Studio Fix powder, NC20
- CoverGirl tinted moisturizer (fair to light)
- Mac MSF in Gold Deposit
- Mac Select Moisturecover in NW20
- Mac Studio Finish concealer in NW20

EYES:
- Mac e/s in Brown Down (brows)
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Maybelline Great Lash (clear for brows)
- MUFE #92
- Darkened pink from Sleek Acid palette
- Ben Nye Turquoise
- Urban Decay liner in Zero
- Ben Nye Ice
- Maybelline XXL Extensions mascara (loooove... doing a vid review later)

LIPS:
- Mac lipstick Sandy B
- Essence gloss in Rising Star (#4)
















































































U like my Christina pose? lmao.

Beachy Look

I picked up a new lipstick from CVS last night and wanted to use it.
Seriously, this lipstick is love. I think it's everything I wanted Vegas Volt from Mac to be. I liked VV, but indoors it was so pastel and with my skintone, it made me look sickly. The Milani lipstick is similar in color but not as pastel, and has a beautiful gold sheen that is just gorgeous for the summer.

Two more things: Let me just say that I hate my cheeks in this look. Blecht!
Second, I tried out a new mascara. It's pretty fail. I may return it.

Oh, and third... please excuse the rank eyebrows. I'm due to do something to them... again... I think I'm gonna go hunting for clear brow gel/mascara and do a major replucking tonight. I seriously cannot stand them.

I sort of like this?
I don't think the pink matches... but I don't have a pink creme.

FOTD: Because it's been a pink week

I need to pluck my eyebrows, wow, it's sort of embarassing how lazy I've been.
Also, Watermelon Rind from China Glaze is fantastic. So is this unnamed sparkly blue polish from Sally's Girl.

This was just a scattering of colors I did literally in 15 minutes. I was like oooh, pretty color (apply), oooh another color (apply). I'm not a big fan of this look, but my boyfriend is making me post these once a week, so. This is what I've got!
