Avengers - Captain America Fail Makeup Look

So i finally had time to sit down and work on my final look for my avengers series. I wanted to be a little more artistic with this look but it wasnt working. I wanted to try to draw the shield on my eye lid but i couldnt get the star right and blue circle its in the middle of. I dont know how many times and ways i tried but just didnt work. So i scrapped the idea. I came across some red glitter I had so decided to use that. This is also the first time i ever colored my eyebrows.

*88 Original Palette

*NYX Shadow Base in White

*Cargo Swimmable Eye Liner in Blue

*LA Splash Red Glitter(ill add the actual name later)

*Maybelline One by One Mascara

*Wet n Wild Coloricon White Shadow

*Next I dipped my brush into the 2 blues and applied it to my lid.

*Next i dipped my brush into all 3 reds and applied to my crease.

*Applied the LA Splash Red Glitter to my crease.

*Next I applied the Wet n Wild Coloricon White shadow to my brow bone.

Sex on the Beach Make Up Look

Last weekend I learned how to make the drink "Sex on the Beach". I've had them a few times  before but never knew how to make them. We actually came up with our own recipe when we were at the store. It usually calls for Orange Juice, Vodka, Peach Schnapps, and Cranberry Juice. We did our own twist on it.

Recipe:

Cup Full of Ice

Peach Schnapps(We used Dubois that was on sale for $5.99 at Frys)

Cherry Vodka (we used Pucker Cherry Vodka.)

Sunny Delight Smooth

Grenadine

*Start by filling up a glass with ice.

*Next fill cup 1/3 full with Peach Schnapps

*Then enough Cherry Vodka to make 1/2 full.

*Then pour in sunny delight to fill up the glass.

*Pour in a splash of Grenadine.

*Mix and Serve

 

This is so good!!! Just be careful because you dont taste the alcohol. I came home from a friend's party last week and made these. My hubby and his best friend kept asking for one everytime i made another for myself. My hubby actually wanted me to make him one yesterday, but i was out of Sunny D. I think it tastes better with Sunny D then OJ. It makes it taste sweeter, and it really is Smooth!! Anyways on to the makeup look. I just loved the colors in this fruity drink and was inspired to do a eye look.

Items Used:

*88 Original Palette

*NYX White Shadow Base

*Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eye Pen

*Maybelline Volume Express One by One Mascara

*Started out with NYX HD Shadow Base

*Next with a brush a applied NYX Shadow Base in White.

*Applied lighter orange to the inner corner of the lid.

*Next brighter darker orange.

*blended

*Next the Brighter Red Color

*Blended

*Next I applied the Fuschia Pink to the outer corner.

*Blended.

*Next I took the Darker Red Shade and applied it to my crease and rounded out to the outer corner of bottom lashes.

*Next i applied the colors in order on my lower lashline starting in the inner corner.

*Applied Maybelline Master Precise to Upper and Lower Lashline. ( i went to the bottom because i was trying to try out a different way to do the eye liner but my maybelline pen wasnt working to do it. This is why you might see some line smudging because i was trying to remove it with a qtip. I couldnt find my makeup remover so i only wet the qtip which didnt work that great.)

*Finally I applied the Mascara.

I hope you like it!! Don't Forget to Comment Below!! Subscribe!! Let me know what kind of looks you are wanting to see or anything else you would like to see on my blog!! :)

Zoya Earth Day 2012 Promo

Every year for Earth Day Zoya has an exchange. You send them your old non zoya np and get a zoya polish at a discount.

Heres the steps for the exchange from the Zoya Blog:

1.    Go to www.zoya.com, pick out the polishes you would like and add them to your cart. You must select at 
least 6 and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salons accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles).
2.    Apply the code: EARTHZOYA2012
3.    Your order value will be adjusted to reflect a 50% discount (we use these funds to properly dispose of 
the old nail polish).
4.    Review and SUBMIT your order!

Once you get your order (Here is where the exchanging* happens)…

1.    Ship back the equivalent number of bottles to the ones you received to the return address below 
(ie. If you got 6 bottles of Zoya – you would send us up to 6 NON-ZOYA polishes). Please check with 
your carrier on the proper way to ship nail polish.

2.    Include a copy of your order. 

To clarify the exchange: You do not have to send us the exact amount of bottles that you are ordering. You can send any quantity up to that amount. You can also donate. If you decide you don't want to do either, it's ok "Offer is not contingent on customer returning polish" we will still love you and send you the Zoya polishes... We'll just send you on a guilt trip for a while :)
