Purple and Silver EOTD




This look I did for my last minute Christmas Shopping on Saturday. I also was wearing my Hat my hubby got for me. It's Vanity Smurf!! <3 We found it at walmart for $10. I couldnt believe it was of him, my favorite smurf. <3 I dont know why I always loved Vanity, but I always thought he was cute. Maybe its because my Mom always said to me "Vanity, Vanity, Vanity". She said this because I would look in mirrors or at a reflection on something to make sure my hair or face looked ok. lol I wasn't admiring myself. lol

The Little Mermaid - Ariel Inspired Look



Every girl seems to identify with or had a favorite Disney Princess growing up. Ariel was my favorite.

The first movie I remember going to see in the movie theater was this movie. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. This movie also had some of the best disney songs (Part of Your World, Under the Sea, Kiss the Girl). I consider The Little Mermaid to be my favorite movie of all time, so its of no surprise that Ariel is my favorite.

I remember swimming around in the pool dreaming I was a singing mermaid. haha

Apparently as well when I was a child I liked to go exploring like she did. When I was 2 or 3 I just walked right out of the house and my parents had to call the MPs (military police - dad was in the air force) to find me. I also remember they got this stretch cord thingy that attached to my wrist and one of theirs because when we would goto the store I would just run away. When I was 5/6 I even walked to school with my cat in my backpack. I also loved music and was always singing. My family would probably say I'm a little stubborn as well. So even though Im not a redhead, I still identify myself more with her. 

Anyways... I recently got some new shadows and found they would be good shades for an Ariel eye look. Its been cold here lately but still really sunny though. The color kept getting washed out in my pics. I tried taking pics inside and out. I have the worst lighting in my apt. My hubby has a light kit but its too much work to set up for a  makeup look. Also really dont have a lot of room for it.

My Glam Bag December 2012 - Haute Holiday

This month's bag includes items to use for a holiday look.



Glam Bags always come in a shiny pink envelope. Every month they send a different makeup bag full of goodies. Usually its 4 to 5 items. 



Ipsy is allowing their customers to give Bags away to friends. You can give a Glam Bag gift by clicking here.



Every Bag comes with a card stating what is included in the Glam Bag. Also lets you know exclusive specials that you can get for these products by being a Ipsy member.



They seem to have a Just Fab special every month. But what I've read it's for first time customers.. I'm not for sure since I never redeem these.



This month's bag is a metallic gray. Perfect color for the christmas holiday.




This month's bag includes Urban Decay, NYX, Mirabella, Bombshell, and Mai Couture.



Ipsy gave out some deluxe samples of the new Urban Decay Beauty Balm to some members that have been active on the Ipsy website. This product hasnt been released yet. Im so excited to get this.

Thoughts: Kind of meh on the NYX shadow color I got. I have enough black colors so this most likely wont ever be used. The lip gloss is ok but looks weird on my lips and with my skintone. I tried the eye primer today and I dont know if it was the shadow I wore or the primer but after a few hours of working my shadow creased really bad. I've yet to try out the highlighter sheets or UD Naked BB Cream.

All That Glitters is Gold

This was the 2nd look I did. Its ok I guess. My eyeliner wasnt working with me. I dont know why but my liners arent wanting to apply well lately. I guess it doesnt help that my eyes water a lot. I found that everytime I use the Be a Bombshell Liner I got from one of my recent glam bags that my eye waters a lot and crusts up which is really gross. So I cant recommend this liner to my fellow people with sensitive eyes. 



Items Used:
*BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition




*Be a Bombshell Eyeliner Pen
*The Balm Body Builder Mascara






*First Applied Primer (Elf Shadow Primer)
*Applied Shade A to inner half of lid.
*Applied Shade B to outer half of lid.
*Blended.
*Applied Shade C to crease.
*Applied Shade D to upper crease and rounded down to outer corner of lower lashline.
*Then starting in the inner corner of lower lashline applied Shade A, then B, and then C.
*Lined eyes with Black Liner (Be a Bombshell)
*Applied 2 coats of Mascara (The Balm Body Builder Mascara)



This shows this look next to my Christmas Party Look. Changed my lips to NYX Pure Red with NYX Razzle Dazzle.
