Princess Jasmine Inspired Look

So... I was bored and decided to play with my make up. I was trying different colors out and nothing was looking too awesome. I thought to myself that when i actually have an inspiration my looks come out better for the most part. So i googled cartoon characters and didnt see anything. I then thought well i have been doing some disney looks, how about another princess. I had some teal colors out and thought well i could do jasmine. I always liked her colors.

I remember when xsparkage did some princess looks, i even remember she was one of my favorites she did. Its what made me visit thebodyneeds website for the first time in years when i rediscovered the video earlier this year. I had to get mac teal, and decided to visit my favorite website for mac samples.

Rustic Autumn Rose Eye Look

I'm not for sure what to call this look. I was using my MAC Expensive Pink shadow, which is a rose gold color. I adore it!! We are starting to get fall stuff at work, even though the temperatures here are still in the 100s. So this will be a good look for fall. I also find it to be a romantic type look, so also maybe a look to wear for a date. I wish i could capture with my camera the way it looks in person, but im not close to be a picture taking expert. I ask my hubby, who does photography as a hobby, but what he says never makes sense to me. haha I should ask him to explain it to me in English I can understand! haha Anyways... I really love this MAC color. I got it a few months ago when I went to the mall for foundation samples. I bought this along with my Undercurrent liner that ive used in a few looks so far. I recently bought a body splash from Bath and Body Works that you could spritz on while wearing this look. The scent is Paris Amour. I love this scent!! The name says it all! I bought the mist, a shimmer lotion, and a hand lotion for my purse. I usually dont like a lot of the scents they have 75% off at their outlet stores, but this one is a total keeper!! 

Anyways.. lol Im starting to ramble. Onto the look...

Monday EOTD - Flounder Inspired

The colors I got recently from TBN reminded me of the little mermaid and did a simple look for work today. I was inspired by Ariel's best friend Flounder.

*TBN Juniper

*BFTE Lemon

*TBN Ballroom Glitter

*Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Radium

*MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner in Undercurrent

*NYX Eye Liner in Yellow

*Tarte Lights Camera Lashes

*First I applied NYX HD Primer

*Next I applied NYX Yellow Liner to lid.

*I applied Beauty From the Earth Lemon(you could substitute TBN Lemon Drop) over the yellow liner. (Side Note: I hate the way Lemon shows up in pictures.)

*Then I shaped the shadow with UD Liner Radium.

*I applied TBN Juniper Over it.

*I then applied TBN Ballroom Glitter on top of the Juniper.

*Applied another layer of Lemon on the lid.

*I redrew the shape with UD Radium

*Next I lined my eyes with MAC Undercurrent (i should have sharpened it first). Its a sparkley green liner with some gold sparkle. Made me think of the ocean.

*Next I applied Tarte Lights Camera Lashes

haha I got this in a Mcdonalds Happy Meal Years ago when they had Little Mermaid stuff. 

 

Last Night I was bored and drew a Flounder on my eye. I messed up the eye. Dont laugh at my non artistic skills... Ok I did... :p
