Bad news :(

So I have my LOTD photos from yesterday and will be working on today's shortly, but I left my camera cord at work. Meh! I'll still take photos at home and upload them in separate posts on Monday. Booo!

FOTD: Day Four (Bohemian Metallics)

Yaaaay! I'm on day four and still chugging along. We'll see what happens when the weekend hits.

I'm still baffled by the Bohemian palette. I don't know if the colors intimidate me or what. I love them all but I open it up to use it and stare at it like a Rubik's cube. Really.

I like today's look, though I wish Bohemian had a metallic gold in it instead of that pollenesque yellow...

FOTD: Day Three (Dramatic Dinosaurs)

This is by far my most dramatic look to date... I have no idea where this came from, just popped into my head last night.

I wish I could find a more opaque matte white... it's not quite as white as I wanted it, and the liner is a bit wonky. I ended up doing this look two ways -- double liner for photos and then I wiped the double bit off for work (it was a bit much as I had to wear glasses today... again)
I'll post photos of it both ways -- which do you like more?

Oh and it reminds me of dinosaurs. Don't ask.

For this week, expect a lot of Bohemian and Acid palette looks.

Update from the past few weeks (PICS)

My boyfriend was here for a little over two weeks and is now waiting in Charlotte to go home. I miss him already :(

I meant to do a lot more FOTDs to post but I just didn't have time. I used my new Acid and Bohemian palettes quite a bit but usually forgot to photo it afterwards. Sucks because there were some amazing looks. At least I got some photos with my boyfriend so you can sort of see my makeup at a few points.

So this is sort of a hodge podge post of makeup pics and a few other non-makeup pics. I'll get back into posting over the next week and will be focusing on my new makeup items.

First off, ignore my disgusting eyebrows in a few shots, I lost my tweezers for like 4 days... my razor as well, which I've now found. Second, in a few shots, my eyes are really red... I'm still battling allergies!

Hope you enjoy the pics!

As a side note... one of my nails broke clear off. Not even kidding. I apparently damaged it heavier than I thought around Christmas (no idea how) and a bruise turned into a ridge, which turned into losing an entire nail. Luckily there is a new one underneath albeit thin and not attractive looking. I am so upset. Summer is starting and I can't wear flip flops until this heals :(.

NOTD: All Hail the Queen?

I did this in celebration of my boyfriend being here... TOMORROW.
Yes, I said it! Tomorrow! We had him on for Friday but some seats opened up so we jumped on it. He's on his way to the airport right now!

This looks awesome in person, I must say... as usual macro picks up every imperfection.
