Video Makeup Recreation.


Or at least my attempt at it. No se rian! Lol This makeup look is from the 6ft 7ft Lil Wayne video. I've been wanting to recreate this look ever since the video first came out but, as you know, I was having trouble finding a bright enough orange lipstick! Soo anywho, this weekend I found one that was close enough lol & I finally did it. I realize the blue under her eye is slightly smudged out but I wanted a cleaner line. c:
 ELF shadow quads in Butternut • L.A. Colors Baked Quad in Praline • Jordana EasyLiner in Bliss
[EDIT] I re-did the eyes on this look. (: This one is less true to the girl's eyes but I actually liked it more than how I had it before. =/ Sue me.

WnW Sunset Peach Lipstick • CoverGirl Shine Blast Liploss in Ignite
Glad I finally got my hands on a good orange lipstick! lol It's not as bright as the model's but that'll do pig, that'll do. (Babe! >.<) Annnnnnd it's also supposed to be big this Spring/Summer so double score ;o !

I'm not a big blush girl but for this, I'd probably recommend WnW's Berry Shimmer blush.. or maybe a creme blush & something brighter like MAC's Optimistic Orange.

Claire's PopRockz & Claire's Metallic Eyes
Awww my boyfriend is such a sweetheart! He got me these Claire's makeup books as a surprise! How freakin adorable :"> LOL he wants me to do rainbow eyes but for the life of me, I just can't. Lol Even before this, I've tried but I totally suck. I can blend colors that are the same color or similar to each other. I can work with 3 sometimes 4 colors but not like a rainbow. :( Lol I was playing with these yesterday & I just couldn't do it. I've seen a million tutorials for this & my results don't even come close lol. *Sigh* I'll keep trying though. I mean, it's not like rocket science! Or is it? o.O
Claire's PopRockz
This is the smaller book. It has 4 eyeshadows; Makeup Addict Mix Master Obsessed Sweet Stilleto & a Clear iridescent lip balm called Shiny Disco Ball. I don't think you can tell from the pictures but it's superr gliterry. <3 Also comes with a purple eyeliner, pink lipgloss, & a double mascara Pink & Blue.
Claire's Metallic Eye
 The bigger makeup book comes with 15 eyeshadows & 5 creme shadow bases, 4 body glitter bottles, black liquid & pencil liner. & I'm so sorry guys, but I won't be reviewing these books. ;( Pleaseee, keep your fingers crossed for me lol hopefully I can pull off the multi colored look. Haha I'm soooo open to suggestions!


FOTD: Modern Twiggy
  WnW Spoiled Brat • WnW Lust
Ahhhh! I've hit pan on my Lust palette lol I use it almost everyday.
 WnW Fuchsia w.Blue Pearl
 This is only an inspired look by Twiggy. Tehee I obviously changed it up.

Spring Polish Haul+Swatches

Que ondiz. (: My weekend was a tad bit boring. My poor boyfriend is super sick & his family was in town visiting him. I spent most of my time at home. My little cousin Allyson who I hadn't seen in forevarzzz spent the night with us & we spent all Friday night eating Whataburger & watching tv. Saturday morning, we spent half the day talking about life, love, nail polish & everything in between ;o Haha. I missed her so much. She's so adorable! She's not like little girls her age who act & talk dumb. She actually has substance & cares about things outside of the realm of Twilight. =/ Lawl. Anywaysszzz I bought some things this morning & thought I'd share. (:

Sinful Colors [Back] • Gorgeous • Nail Junkie • Unicorn • Cloud 9 • Timbleberry •
[Front] • Boom Boom • Beautiful Girl •
WnW Trio in Spoiled Brat
 [Click Pics to Enlarge] 
I was looking for Springy colors. I had seen a Robin's Egg-ish color last time but didn't see it there today. :( But I'm really liking the Unicorn polish! It's so cute. I also picked up the Spoiled Brat trio, I've been looking for the longest & I finally found it today! I'm not crazy about the crease color (black) I don't really like the sparse random sparkles =/ Haha & it's a bit sheer but obviously buildable.
CoverGirl Shine Blast Liploss in Ignite • CoverGirl Nature Luxe Gloss Balm in Coral • WnW Lipstick in Pink Ice
WnW Lipstick Fuchsia w.Blue Pearl • Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Summer Angel
OMGGGG! I sooo regret buying the two orange lip things. -_- They are lies! Down right lies! Well, honestly I just didn't read. I thought the second one was a lipstick. Turns out it's a gloss balm. I've been wanting to re-create the makeup look in the 6ft 7ft video. So I picked these up but they are so sheer :( I was so disappointed when I got home. My heart literally sank. lol Ugho. on the + side they smell really really good. Haha. Anyway I love the Fuchsia Blue Pearl Lipstick & am really impressed with the overall quality of the WnW lipsticks. They go on incredibly smooth. I'm not a fan of luster-ish finishes on lipsticks though. So I will probably matte these out with a little powder. Super happy with the Rimmel lipstick too. It's a gorgeous mauve-ish nude.. & I love the little crown on the cap. Teehee.


LOTD: Cupcake lips!
On this lazy Sunday.. the only thing I wore on my face was lip balm & mascara. I'm sorry to report though, that I have no clue what the brand of this is. All it says on the bottom is "Manufactured by Zhili Trading" Lol I've had it for the longest & I'm pretty sure I got it as a Christmas gift one year. It came with another darker color that I ended up losing somewhere. =/ So anyways *nacho's voice*... I hope you guys had an awesome weekend!!

#PrayforJapan


I was deeply saddened when I learned of the 8.9 earthquake that shook Japan & the devastating Tsunami that swept over cities. So many people swept away in their homes, vehicles, buildings & those who were able to get out in time, now face fears of a possible nuclear meltdown.


 It's so heartbreaking. My thoughts & prayers are with all of those affected by this horrible tragedy. I've been watching the news coverage since Friday morning & I find myself clinging to the stories of survivors being rescued & remain hopeful for all those people, their families, & their missing loved ones.. My heart goes out to all of Japan in this extremely difficult time.


We can't help but feel hopeless watching all this unfold & wanting to help somehow.. in any way possible. My boyfriend & I have donated & those who also want to help can go to www.redcross.org or text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected. Also, I just saw on Sarrah's blog that Lady Gaga is selling $5 bracelets [here] "All proceeds go directly to Japan relief efforts."

Ebay Finds+Brown Sugar

60 Pairs of Eyelashes+Lid Glue ($8.79) including shipping
Ahhh! I'm so excited I finally got these! I've been waiting for these since the beginning of last month. I tried the very thin ones.. they were numbered 001. I actually got the hang of it this time. I use to get glue all over my lid & the lashes would still fall off lol It's 8pm now & I've had them on since around 2pm & they still feel alright. I'm just kind of dreading taking them off in a bit. Idk how bad that'll be. lol
 
Yeah, I thought this was lash glue but thanks to Marcy, I now know it's eyelid glue? Omylanta, I'm so lucky I didn't mess up my eyes putting this on my lash line lol. Here's the video she showed me. My eyes & I thank you, Marcy!! Lol Now one thing I wasn't a fan of was the width of the lashes. I just wish the strip was a tad bit longer. I wish it covered my lid a little more. I'll be using them in future FOTD's & I'll tell you exactly how I mean. Overall veryyy happy with this though.

 
Nail Art Rhinestone 6 Wheels Kit  ($4.39) including shipping
Adorable! Love everything in it. The price is crazy! I can't believe this is for under five dollars. There are so many little things to choose from; stars, lime slices, beads, butterflies, flowers, & of course.. rhinestones. <3



FOTD: Golden Sugar.
LA Colors Palettes in Wildflowers & Darling • LA Colors Baked Quad in Praline 
A quick golden eye 'cause I really wanted to try the Brown Sugar gloss I found in my bag. Haa.

 Avon Color Glazewear in Brown Sugar
I found this gloss & loved the application. It's not your ordinary gloss. It feels like a really moisturizing lipstick. I don't remember ever wearing/swatching this but I found it hiding in my makeup bag & initially I thought it was going to be like a sheer gloss that you wear over a lipstick. But this really has a lot of color & is quite opaque. I love that it's not sticky at all, feels just like a lipstick.


NOTD: Minty St. Patties!
Sinful Colors in Mint Apple
Lawl don't laugh! I was bored & wanted to trying something St. Patrick's-ish. Also.. I was looking for an excuse to use my nail rhinestones. It's not amazing but I wanted to document my first experience with the nail  thingys. (:
