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 :(.
