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: 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: 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: Fashion Forward Navy…I’m back!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Looks, MAC, NARS, Smokey
I don’t officially know if I have that many followers. I know of the few who are sweeties and leave comments, and those totally brighten my day :-) I’ve definitely been neglecting my blog and my makeup lately. I feel bad for doing so, but I just haven’t had the motivation to put in the time or energy to post, and I’m not sure why. Though, I have been so busy…it’s almost depressing. Not that I’m complaining or anything. My day job is seriously a 12+ hour day, and I used to bring the excess work home, no worries. But I also started my Masters in Educational Administration plus a credential that’s all going to be completed in one year. So I have class after work, two days per week until 10pm and copious amounts of reading and homework. Now juggling work and school is stressfull, but doable. Lots of people do it!
BUT, the greatest news is that my husband and I just bought our first house (ok, it’s a condo)!! 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1800 sq. ft. piece of realestate in southern California, and it’s all ours! :-) We’re extatic and love our new place, but moving is sooooooo hard and time consuming! Geez! So I’ve been so tired lately…oy. Anyway, I’m hoping to get back to my blog and hopefully start even doing some new tutorials. One of the spare bedrooms is my “office” where I’m converting my old desk into a makeup vanity :-) So exciting!!! In a few weeks, you’ll be seeing different backgrounds in my pictures! Anyway, if you’re still around, thanks for sticking with me…it means a lot!
Now on to the look…this one is back from mid August. It’s so easy, it’s almost laughable. But I usually bring the color up a lot higher than my crease because my eyes are naturally so hooded. For this look, I kept the color really tight around just my eyelid and around the lashline. It feels very fashion forward, and I know I’ve seen it in magazines before. I liked it a lot and enjoyed that it was different…refreshing :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), NARS Thunderball (whole lid & lower lashline), Blanc Type (above crease), Blooz Kohl (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Madly
- Lips: Brave New Bronze l/s + Naked Space l/g

Look: Love These Blues
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Yaby
Blues may be the “forbidden fruit” of eyeshadow colors, but I love them none-the-less :-) Can’t help myself! When I walked into a classroom wearing this look, I could hear the girls in the class whispering to each other, “I love the way she paints her eyes…it’s so pretty…” Awwwww :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in blues, Sea & Sky mineralized duo, Unbasic White (highlight), UD 24/7 Deviant (lower lashline), Blooz Kohl (upper lahsline), Blushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Madly
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Sunset Shimmer l/s

Look: Cut the Crease Attempt #1
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Gold, Looks, MAC, NARS, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Yaby, Yellow
I’ve seen some online tutorials recently spotlighting looks that use a technique called “cutting the crease” where the color below the crease is drastically different from the one above, and they are not blended together. I did a crazy attempt. It’s wild, bold, and loud! I don’t expect that others would readily wear this look “out” but it’s something fun and different to look at :-) I don’t like it much, and I don’t really like the blush with this look either. Should have gone more pink I think.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in yellow and blue, Yaby yellow shimmer e/s (lid), Deep Truth (crease line), Bang-on-Blue (above crease), Smashbox Oyster (highlight), UD 24/7 Deviant (liner), UD 24/7 Honey (lower lashline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB + NARS Albatross
- Lips: Creme d’ Nude lipstick

Look: Pink + Blue…looks Purple?
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Kat Von D, Looks, MAC, NARS, Pink, Purple, Yaby
Well duh, of course pink and blue blended together are going to look purple! Although I was impressed at how each color managed to stand on it’s own and not get completely muddied together. This look is quite bright and fun.

- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in pinks & bright blue (base), Ego (inner & middle lid), Kat Von D Speed Blue (crease), Yaby bright pink shadow (above crease), Pink Opal pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Sapphire Shimmer Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
