Well, for this look, all I know for the shadows is that I used the ones from the Kat Von D Metal Palette. I never wrote down which ones, but luckily there is a limited amount in there. It’s very blue. Not sure if I like it that much, but here it is…
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby PP silver & blue, KVD Metal Palette, Mystery Kohl Power (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Chanel Tweed Pink

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: 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

Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Chanel, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yellow
This was a look I did using NARS Mekong and Galapogos…and it disturbs me that I cannot find my Mekong after the move :-( I’ll keep looking for it though. With all of the overcast spitting of rain we’ve been having, it’s nice to do a post that reminds me of the SoCal sunshine!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Cash Flow PP (base), Yaby Yellow Matte e/s (inner lid), NARS Galapagos (middle & outer lid), NARS Mekong (crease), NARS Night Star (highlight), Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Orpheus Kohl Power (waterline), Plushlash mascara

Look: Sometimes It All Comes Together
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Gold, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yaby, Yellow
This is one of those looks that I felt really came together the way I wanted. I love the combination of yellows and blues, and I get to do it a lot with all of the UCLA shirts that I have. :-) It almost looks kinda green huh? Go figure haha! ;-P I’m really fond of the way that it all looks with the blush, lipstick and eye look all together. Best part? It’s actually a really easy look to create. Some simple yellows and blues with blue liner. Easy!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints (light yellow, gold, blue), Soft Force (inner lid & highlight), Bright Future (middle lid), NARS Night Flight (outer lid & crease), Bobbi Brown Cobalt Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Cheek & Cheerful mineralize blush
- Lips: Brave New Bronze l/s + Chanel Bronze Crystal Glossimer

Look: Green Theme (new fav!)
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Green, Kat Von D, Lancome, Looks, MAC, Smokey
This is one of my new favorite looks! I’m gonna end up posting it twice, but to tell the truth, I’ve worn it 3 times since I did this one. *giggle* It’s surprisingly simple actually (well, the shadow part anyway). I wasn’t sold on the lip color, so I when I did it the second time, I went more nude and orangy-coral. Plus, this one was with glasses, so that hides it a little. Since I wear daily-disposable contacts, I didn’t want to waste a whole pair on only a dinner/evening out (husband’s friend’s birthday dinner). So…anyway, there you go. I <3 GREEN SHADOWS!!!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Chartruse Pigment (inner lid), Kelly Green Pigment (middle lid), Kat Von D Gunner (outer lid & crease), Kat Von D Hawkwind (highlight), Tarnish Kohl (upper lashline & waterline), Bankroll Pearlglide liner (lower lashline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Lancome Mandarin Shimmer blush
- Lips: Chanel Fiesta l/s + Lancome Piha Black l/g

Look: Hawaiian Dress Day @ School with Dior Purple Jazz Club
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Dior, Lips, Looks, MAC, Purple
Please excuse the stupid silly look today…the whole outfit kinda sucks, but I gotta participate to show my school spirit you know?
I don’t like the Dior Jazz club palettes. They’re nothing special and there’s really only 2 shadow colors. Meh, not impressed. I already have a purple liner…and the “topcoat” is lame! I’m gonna try to take them back. What do you think (silly outfit aside)? The lip combo though…wowie! TDF! Sparkle for days :-) Made me stare at my lips all the way to school LOL!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Dior Purple Jazz Club #002 Palette (includes liner), Vellum (highlight), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Gleeful mineralize blush
- Lips: High Top lipstick (Fafi) + Chanel Summer Plum Glossimer

Look: It’s Picture Day & I Don’t Want to Pick Colors
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Looks, MAC, Neutral
:-( I had one of those days…the kind where you just don’t want to get ready. Yep, didn’t feel like doing my makeup this particular day. Have you ever had those? I wasn’t sure what to wear and I didn’t want to pick out shadow colors. I’m not sure why this happened to me, and I hope it’s gone from my system soon!! I was wining to my husband, and he said “so don’t get ready.” I laughed. That’s not an option. For me, that would be like going to school naked or something! Seriously, the only downside to doing my makeup in full-looks everyday is that THIS is what I look like to people. Anything would look…well…strange, different. It’s expected that I look like this. *Sigh* It’s ok though – I like what I do…just having a stressful week I suppose :-) So this look is pretty basic and simple. Care to try it yourself?
Ok, and that being said – I LOVE this look, really. My picture came out awesome (as school pictures go you know). Who knew huh? So simple :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Layin’ Low PP (base), Bisque (inner lid), Innuendo (middle lid), Clue (outer lid), Carbon (crease), Fresco (highlight), Smolder Kohl (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB
- Lips: Chanel Sirocco lipstick

Look: Chanel Murano Quad for Fall 2009
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Eyeshadow, Looks, MAC, My Collection, Pink, Teal
Yay! I’m so excited that Chanel has finally come out with another beautiful quad! I haven’t been impressed by their quads since they released Beiges de Chanel. This quad is beautiful just to look at, and the colors on the lid do not disappoint. The texture is what you’d expect from Chanel: buttery soft and smooth application. The colors are just as they appear in the quad, though the light blue color is more frosty than I’d expect. It’s a pretty look – not quite blue, not quite teal, but somewhere in between. It’s my new favorite Chanel quad…and I look forward to going through the whole thing :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Chanel Murano (FALL 2009) Quad, Bobbi Brown Caviar Ink (upper lashline), Mystery Kohl Power (lower lashline), Guerlain Lagoon Blue loose kohl (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Margin
- Lips: Chanel Instinctive l/s + Chanel Pink Oyster Glossimer

Look: Gray with Dark Lips
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Coach, Gray, Laura Geller, Lips, Looks, MAC, Neutral, Smokey
The lips looked great when I looked in the mirror…forgive the close-ups :-) I wore this look on a day when I had to make a really important presentation to the whole faculty! Despite some technical difficulties, it went pretty well. And apparently people think I’m “dressed up” when I wear darker lips. Go figure!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Seedling (inner lid), Remotely Gray (middle lid), Print (outer lid & crease), Daisychain (highlight), Penultimate Liner (upper lashline), Guerlain Loose Kohl Powder #01 Noir (waterlines), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Mineralized Blush
- Lips: Chanel Perplex l/s + Coach Freesia lipgloss
