Look: Bobbi Brown Goes Green
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Green, Looks, MAC
You just can’t beat the silky smoothness of Bobbi Brown shadows. Buttery soft and so pigmented; they’re just amazing! The lipgellee on the other hand…it was brighter than it showed up in the pictures. I ended up returning it. It looks pretty with this look, but it didn’t wear well for me.
I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine’s Day!!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Moss Scape PP (base), Bobbi Brown Golden Leaf (inner lid), Bobbi Brown Bash (middle & outer lid), Bobbi Brown Ivy (crease), Femme-Fi (highlight), Bobbi Brown Ivy Shimmer Ink (liner), UD 24/7 Grafitti (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara

Look: Easy Browns for Stress
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yaby
I did this look the week I started my masters program last semester, so needless to say, I was super stressed. I didn’t want to take that much time on my makeup, so I decided to do some easy browns. For me, it seems like browns are the easiest to work with, and they take me the least amount of time. And of course, like Denny would say, brown is always a winner!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby PP browns (base), SMH shadows, NARS Mekong (crease), NARS Night Star (highlight), Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), UD 24/7 Underground (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Love Joy + NARS Albatross (highlight)
- Lips: Partial Nude l/l + Young Think l/g

Look: Pink & Blue
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Pink
This is a slightly older look that I forgot to post! I think this look is better in concept…the middle looks too gray I think. But the pink on the lid makes the look less bold, and blue tends to be quite bold. It’s a nice combo that didn’t come out looking purple. And oh, how I love frosty pink lips!!! :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Fresco Rose PP (base), Ego (inner lid), Smashbox Flamingo (middle lid), Moon’s Reflection (outer lid & above crease), Deep Truth + Contrast (crease), Solar White (highlight), Bobbi Brown Cobalt Ink (liner), Blooz Kohl (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Gentle mineralized blush
- Lips: Madly Creative l/s + Take A Hint Tendertone

Look: Chameleon
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Gold, Green, Looks, MAC, Stars Makeup Haven, Teal
I call this one chameleon because that is what it looks like to me! It’s like it could change color depending on how you look at it…like a duochrome nail polish! It’s got greens and teals and golds… Whoa! I loved how it turned out :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby PP in greens (base), SMH Olive Branch (inner lid), SMH Fresh (middle lid), Bottle Green (outer lid & crease), Nylon (highlight), Bobbi Brown Ivy Ink (liner), Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Superduper Natural mineralized blush
- Lips: Chanel Rouge Allure Laque #77 + Nice Mix Up l/g

Look: Notoriety w/ Some Glitz
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Looks, MAC, NARS, Orange
For this look I used the MAC Notoriety Quad. I added some NARS Mediteranee and some Reflects Copper Glitter to make it more shimmery. Unfortunately I don’t think the camera picked up on the glitter much because it’s so fine. Oh well. I rarely use the reflects glitters and I thought it would be fun. I did this look on a Sunday when we were going to Roy’s for my sister-in-law’s birthday. It was very ME because it’s bright, colorful, and dramatic! :-)
For this look I used
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Notoriety Quad: Skintone 2 (inner lid), Rich & Earthly (middle lid), Notoriety (outer lid & crease), Skintone 1 (highlight), NARS Mediteranee (inner & middle lid), Reflects Copper Glitter (middle lid), NARS Mekong (crease), Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Notable
- Lips: Buzz lipglass

Look: So Pretty I Forgot Mascara
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Gray, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Stars Makeup Haven
Like I’ve said before, doing my mascara is my least favorite part of doing my makeup. Sometimes I procrastinate doing it by doing my hair first, getting dressed, or anything else first. This day my mind must have been distracted by something else because I completely forgot to go back and put on mascara. I realized my mistake half way to work :-( Oh well, I guess it was such a bold look that I didn’t notice! :-) What’s your least favorite step in your beauty routine?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Stars Makeup Haven Powder Room (inner lid), SMH In a Bind (middle lid), SMH 1492 (outer lid), SMH Smoke & Mirrors (crease), Guilty as Sin (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), ….
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit mineralized blush
- Lips: Buoy-o-Buoy lipstick

Look: New Years Eve Dark Eyes
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Gray, Kat Von D, Laura Geller, MAC, NARS, Smokey, Yaby, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)
We went to a friend’s New Years party - it wasn’t wild or anything, but the dress code was “semi-formal,” so we got some nice clothes on and I decided to do a really dark eye look. It’s really a classic smokey, but ultra dark. So naturally, I did lighter on the lips. It was a good look for me because I felt sexy and confident, my lips were easy to reapply with or without a mirror, and I wasn’t self conscious about my lips fading while I drank, ate, talked, etc. The evening was a lot of fun!!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby PP black (base & smudged under lower lid), Kat Von D Lucifer (whole lid), Typographic (smudged above crease), Knight Devine (smudged above crease), Pincurl (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit + NARS Albatross (highlight)
- Lips: Chanel Mystic l/s + YSL Rouge Pur #1 l/g

Look: NARS Essential Eyes Palette
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, NARS, Pink, Shu Uemura, Smokey
This is a great palette if for no other reason than it has Galapagos and Thunderball :-) LOVE those colors!!! When I told the lady at the NARS counter that I wanted Galapagos, she said she didn’t have it and I must have shown visible signs of disappointment because she immediately said “but wait, I have THIS” and pulled out the Essential palette. Since I didn’t have any of the colors in it already and it had the color I wanted so badly, I thought SCORE! Has that ever happened to you?
I must have run out of space on my camera the day I did this look because there aren’t a lot of pictures…sorry about that.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), NARS Essential Eye Palette: Nepal (inner lid), Ondine (middle lid), Thunderball + Galapagos (outer lid & crease), Night Star (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit mineralized blush
- Lips: Shu Uemura BG 956 + Lip Fusion Summer l/g

Look: Matching with Orange
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Gold, Looks, MAC, NARS, Orange, Smashbox, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)
Orange can be a difficult color to match with. Since I got the NARS Mediteranee e/s duo, I wanted to wear it. So I chose a nice outfit with brown and decided to pair it with some brown shadows with gold highlights. I really like the end results. I know that orange eyeshadow can be a very bright color for some people to pull off, but if you can do it, I think you should!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in orange (base), NARS Mediteranee (whole lid), NARS Mekong (outer lid & crease), Smashbox Oyster (highlight), Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Plushlas mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Love Joy + NARS Albatross highlight
- Lips: Pink Grapefruit lipglass
