Thoughts on Bag: I liked my bag for the most part. I love my lashes!! I wore them on christmas!! :) The trio is good but can find better shades of these. The nail polish was awesome but the color. The all in one stick didn't really show up on my cheeks or lips. The lipstick shade I recieved was horrid. I would never buy this color or recommend it. They had all sorts of shades being sent out and i think i got the worse one for my complexion.

Sea Smoke EOTD

Sorry for the lack of posts. Ive been busy with work and just tired lately. Either I haven't liked the looks I did or the pics didnt turn out. Also got the head cold that was going around, so felt pretty much blah the last week. In my face pic im going to post you might be able to tell. :p 

I've been really liking the seafoam color lately. We have been getting items at work lately and a fellow coworker of mine, we keep admirincg the color. I decided to do a look using the color from BFTE and TBN. The crease  needs a little work but im going to post anyway. :)

ELF Eye Look - Slytherin (Harry Potter)

So.. I was trying to do a hunger games look over and over but was failing miserably. I then remembered seeing a pic recently from Unique Desire. She had done some Hogwarts Houses looks. I decided to do a Slytherin using my ELF 100 Pc palette. I like doing looks using products that more people are able to afford. This elf palette retails for $10. Not bad for 100 different colors. I just bought tonight the BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition for $18. Which is $8 more for 20 more shadows. The elf palette is good for those just starting out. I wanted the BH palette because im looking for more yellows and oranges. I really want the Sugar Pill Burning Heart Palette but its out of my budget at this time. Its $34.99 for 4 shadows.

Anyways...

So the colors of Slytherin House are Green and Silver. I had an idea of doing a snake like for eye liner, but when i did the snake with the make up look, i kept messing it up. Heres the snake without the eye look. its kind of a fail, but ill show it just because.

Didnt turn out the way i wanted but i might redoing it at another date. Something different then i usually do and never seen someone do this either. It looked better in my mind. haha

Decided to make a funny face haha

Items Used:

*Elf 100 Pc Palette(can find at ELF or target/kmart/wamart)

*TBN Shadow Blanc ($2)

*Elf Studio Cream Liner in Black ($3)

*Maybelline Mascara

*Started by using NYX HD Primer

*Applied TBN Blanc from Brow to Crease.

*Applied lighter green shade to lid and to inner corner of lower lashline.

*applied the darker green to crease and rounding out to lower lashline.

*applied the dark silver shade to upper crease and rounding out to bottom lashes.

*Lined eyes with Elf Studio Liner

*Then Mascara

Let Me Know What You Think!! Thanks for Stopping By! :)
