Before Bedtime Play - Sugar Skull

So I was looking at my facebook page last night and saw TheDailyGlamour had done a Sugar Skull look and I decided to play with some makeup before bed and do my own Sugar Skull look. I dont have advanced skills so I decided to do a more simpler one. I have seen Sugar Skulls has been a huge craze throughout the makeup community. In the past year we have gotten quite a few sugar skull items at work as well. 

I had trouble applying the white makeup. All I had on hand was a couple white makeup items i bought from walmart for like a dollar or 2. If you have dry skin like me, I dont recommend them. I saw a white powder at Spirit Halloween today for $3.99 that I almost bought though. My allergies have been acting up lately so my makeup started to fade away underneath my eyes. This isn't the best but decided to share it anyways. My hair is a mess because like I said in the title I did this look right before I went to bed.

Items Used:

*Wet n Wild Coloricon Pencil in Black

*Lime Crime China Doll Palette

*Essence Smudgeproof Eyeliner Pen

*Revlon CustomEyes Palette

*Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Woodstock and Radium

*White Cream makeup from Walmart for 99 cents

*Mirenesse Lip Bomb in shade 2 (Awesome Red from October Glam Bag)

Wet n Wild Fergie Eye Kits

My friend I was taking home from work needed to goto Walgreens to return her redbox movies. While she was doing that I decided to look around to see what special collections they have. Was wondering if there was anything new. First we found a display of the new WnW Fergie nail polishes, but majority of them were gone. When we were leaving the store, we happened to walk through an aisle and spotted these WnW Fergie make up kits, $7.99 each.

Each set includes:

*eye shadow quad

*coloricon shimmer eye pencil

*mega eyes liquid liner

*mascara

*brow comb/brush

*eye shadow brush

Did some quick swatches. The displays had the shadows to sample. I dont know if these are exclusive to walgreens or if they are limited edition. Im wanting the Fergie Ferg Fresh collection when i get paid on friday. Hopefully its still there then. They had 2 full displays(4 total of each set). I didnt take a pic of the inside but you can see some pics at Nouveau Cheap. The Glamour Eyes collection sparkles in the sunlight. The white shadow reminded me of Urban Decay Polyester Bride. Anybody tried these yet?? Wondering about the staying power and how well they apply to the eyes.

Choco Pistachio - Makeup Bee Chocolat Donna Fantasy Entry

Shu Uemura and Makeup Bee have teamed up for a new competition to promote their new Chocolat Donna Collection. The contest is to come up with looks based on their new collection for the fall. Theres been some stand out looks so far. I really love this one. 

My look I did was based on their Orange and Pistachio Palette. The colors reminded me of Ice Cream, so i even did a ice cream cone but failed miserably. Based on names of other fellow entries, they thought of ice cream as well. I did this look a few times because my eye liner kept running because my eyes kept watering. I bought a new angled eye liner and used a cream eye liner and it worked out better. I also did the look without eyeliner. 

Items Used:

*NYX Jumbo Pencil Milk

*Coastal Scents 88 Palette- Peach, Olive Green, and Brown

*Wet n Wild Silent Treatment

*Wet n Wild Cool as a Cucumber

*Wet n Wild Sweet as Candy

*Tarte Lights Camera Lashes

*Studio Gear Lipstick Very Hot Cocoa from May Glam Bag

Now with Eyeliner:

*First applied NYX HD Primer

*Then NYX milk to lid and crease.

*smoothed it out with fingers.

*applied peach shade from 88 Original Palette to lid.

*I then went over it with the peach shade from Wet n Wild Silent Treatment Coloricon Trio.

*Next I applied the light Olive green from 88 Original Palette to Crease.

*Went over it with Light Green shade from Wet n Wild Cool as a Cucumber Coloricon Trio.

*Next i applied the brown shade from 88 original palette above the green.

*Highlighted with cream shade from Wet n Wild Sweet as Candy Palette.

*Lined eyes with black eyeliner.

*Applied Tarte Mascara

 

Let me know what you think. I'm not as artistic as others but if you can be so kind and vote for my look here, much would be appreciated!!!

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.

Items Used:

*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 Master Precise Liquid Eye Pen

*Maybelline One by One Mascara

*Wet n Wild Coloricon White Shadow

*I first applied NYX HD Shadow Base

*Cargo Swimmable Blue to my lid.

*NYX Shadow Base White from crease to the browbone.

*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.

*Next i applied LA Splash Shadow Sealer/Base 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.

*applied red to my lowerlashline

*Cargo Swimmable Blue to my waterline

*Lined my upper lashline with Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eye Pen.

*Applied Maybelline One by One Mascara

*Then I filled my eyebrows with the Cargo Swimmable Blue

MAC- Grape Teal Makeup Look

I decided to try out my mac samples i got from The Body Needs.

Samples Used:

*MAC Paint Pot in Imaginary (.5g) - its supposed to be a blackened navy but it actually comes out to be a blackened purple(ill swatch it and add to post later.) I found this in the clearance section and was $1.49(normally the samples are around $3.49). Last I checked though its sold out on the website.

*MAC Pigment in Teal (1/4 teaspoon - $2.29) - a blue-green shimmer, almost like the tealish color of some mallard ducks. So pretty!! I hope to come up with more looks using it. I had to have it once i saw it in an old xsparkage video.

*MAC Pigment in Grape (1/4 Tsp $2.29) - a jewel toned purple, just a really pretty color. I'm glad i picked this one out. This color is a MAC Pro color. I like that i can at least get samples of some of the pro colors from this site. :)

ok the everyday minerals foundation, mixed with the dark colors made me look old. I also dont like the fair neutral shade i wore, sorry about that.

Other Items Used:

*Wet n Wild Coloricon Pencil in Black

*Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Pen

*Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara

*Maybelline Volume Express One By One

*NYX Milk Pencil

*First i drew a line with the Wet n Wild Pencil to shape my eye.

*Next I filled it in with Imaginary.

*Next i patted on the Teal Pigment onto the inner half of the lid.

*Then I patted on Grape to the outer half of lid.

*blended

*Next I went over with WnW Pencil where i originally drew the line, then also shaded some and drew to the outer corner of my lower lashline.

*Applied Teal to the inner half of my lower lashline, and Grape to the other half.

*highlighted with milk and patted on a white shadow from the ELF Classic Palette.

*Then 1 coat Volume Express One By One followed by 1 coat of illegal length mascara, followed by one more coat of Volume Express One by One.

When i did this look for work today i did away with the ugly highlight, and i used a blue cargo swimmable pencil to line my lowerlashline and i applied NYX Extreme Blue over. I forgot to take a pic. :(

 

Other Notes: The staying power of these were awesome!! I had no fading even after work and coming home and sleeping for a few hours. I woke up and the colors hadnt budged, just my mascara had ran.

Wet n Wild Megalast Polishes

Undercover, Through the Grapevine, On a Trip

I finally came across the Wet n Wild Mega Last Nail Polishes at my local Walgreens. I picked up 3 polishes since they were having a buy 2 get 1 free. It came out to be $4.35 after tax for all 3. Each polish is $1.99. I plan on going back to get a few more. On this display it says the sale is on til 02/25.

 

Undercover is a rose mauve cream. It reminds me of a lipstick color my 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Duffy used to wear. This is a more mature and earthy color for my taste. Its a good color for someone looking for a color they can wear to work.

On a Trip is a Periwinkle Lavender Cream Polish. Its my favorite of the 3 i bought. I remember coloring with the crayola crayon of the same color a lot. Its funny when i think of how to describe colors i always think of crayola crayons.

Through the Grapevine is a Grapeish Fuschia Cream. I really like this color. It makes you want some grape juice lol :)

Excuse my hands.. They've been really dry lately and no matter what i put on them the moisture wont lock in :( I really did like the formula on these. They are very Opaque and could take 1 coat but i did 2 for the pictures. It has a nice wide brush to get a more even coat and cover more area at once. The brushes remind me of the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Polishes Brush.
