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

Look: Lots of Mineral Shadows!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gray, Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Silver
I’ve been a little lazy in getting out my normal shadows, and more into getting out what I haven’t touched in a LOOONG time (or ever!). I’m enjoying using the Metal X shadows as bases too. I really don’t like this look that much though. None of my pictures seemed to come out right. None of them have lately actually…ah well.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Metal X shadows as bases: Virgin Silver (inner lid), 6th Sin (middle lid), Guilded Ash (outer lid), silver side of Polar Opposites MES (inner lid), Laura Geller Spun Sugar MES (middle lid), Gallery Gal MES (outer lid), gray side of Word-of-Mouth MES (crease), Bright Side MES (highlight), Shade Fluidline (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Mineralized blush
- Lips: Chanel Glow Glossimer

Look: Light Smokeys
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chantecaille, Gray, Looks, MAC, Smokey
In this look, the eyes aren’t that enticing. Well, it’s another look using Smoke & Diamonds (which according to Temptalia, you won’t have to wait too much longer to get your hands on if you missed it the first time around). But the lips - I think I found a very unique color! Chantecaille Luna lipstick is a color I’ve never seen before. It really is like a medium gray shade, and I find it quite stunning. It’s dark and kinda vampy too!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Krisp (inner lid), Smoke & Diamonds (middle), Typographic (outer lid & crease), Solar White (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline), Guerlain Loose Kohl Powder #01 Noir (waterlines), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Gleeful Mineralized Blush
- Lips: Chantecaille Luna l/s + Spirited lipglass

Look: Sophisticated Silvers
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chantecaille, Gray, Looks, MAC, NARS, Silver, Smokey
I had to go to a major training the day I wore this look, so I needed something semi-sophisticated, not too OTT, but not too nude. I was reminded how much I really like this lipgloss too!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Silver Ring (inner lid), Smoke & Diamonds (middle lid), Chantecaille Titanium (outer lid & crease), Lightshade (highlight), UD 24/7 Zero (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Love Rock Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: NARS Dolce Vita

Look: For the Flight Home
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Gray, Guerlain, Lips, Looks, MAC, Pink, Smokey
I know you’re probably super-duper tired of me forgetting the specific breakdown for my looks lately…I blame my “vacation” which made me unfocused. So I apologize for that! I DO know that I used Expensive Pink in the middle, probably Typographic on the outer lid & crease. On the lips was Guerlain Matte Lipgloss #2. This was the look I did for our long flight back to the mainland where we watched “Confessions of a Shopaholoic” which was great! I’m totally like her…except only with makeup haha! :-)
See more pictures! Even if I don’t have the exact breakdown, they’re still pretty hehe :-) Read the rest of this entry »
Look: Chantecaille Smokey Eyes
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chantecaille, Gray, Guerlain, Looks, Smokey
This color gray is buttery soft and a true dark gray. It doesn’t have the blue-ish undertones like my MAC gray shadows do. Here’s a truly smokey look :-) Oh, and sorry about the one pesky hair that’s in all the photos. Try to ignore it hehe.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Chantecaille Titanium (all over lid), Knight (right above crease), Swan Lake (right above Knight), Carbon (crease), Vapour (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline), Chanel Graphite pencil (lower lashline), Guerlain Terracotta Black Kohl (waterlines), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Pleasantry Mineralized Blush
- Lips: Guerlain KissKiss l/s Beige Sans Fin (#140) + Chanel Mica Glossimer

Look: Another Smokey Look
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gray, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
But this time I put on matte lips! It’s quite similar to some other smokey looks I’ve been doing recently, but I think that’s because I’m loving the color placement and how the overall look comes together. Hopefully you like the smokey looks too :-) I’ll be changing it up a little soon though :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Naked Pigment (inner & middle lid & highlight), Print (outer lid & crease), Swan Lake (middle/outer lid), Typographic (outer crease), UD 24/7 Zero liner with Carbon e/s on top, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Love Rock Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Chanel Aqualumier l/s in Cancun…(not sure if this is what I wore in the picture…but it’s what I reapplied during the day lol).

Look: Pink & Gray
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Gray, Looks, MAC, Pink
Fairly simple look today, but I really liked the way it came out - the kind of look that gives you confidence all day :-) However, in taking a closer look at the pictures, I’m thinking that the blush was a little heavy for one, and might have been too warm for this look. The pinks and grays might be more cool toned, and the blush and lip was on the warm side? I dunno. What do you think?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Fresco Rose PP (base), Da Bling (inner lid), Jétè (middle lid), Trax (outer lid), Print (crease), Sugarshot (highlight), Black Russian Pearlglide liner (upper lashline), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB + Petticoat MSF
- Lips: Chanel Crazed l/s + Chanel Blizzard Glossimer

Look: Neutral-ish Grays
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Gray, Looks, MAC, Neutral, Smokey
The day I did this look I had to go to a Principal’s Conference at a hotel as an instructional support provider. It was interesting…just sitting in some meetings pretty much. I like being on that side of the educational world though. I wanted to use more matte colors and slightly neutral, but a little smokey and gray all at the same time. This is what I came up with!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Clue (inner lid) Innuendo (middle lid), Typographic (crease), Carbon (outer crease), Bisque (highlight), Black Russian Pearlglide (upper lashline), Chanel Graphite (lower lashline), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Hot Planet Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: NARS Bahama Velvet Matte Lip Pencil + Chanel Aqualumier #66 lipgloss
See more pictures! They came out nice this time!! :-) Read the rest of this entry »

Look: Silver Smokey with Some Color
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Gray, Green, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
This is the look I used for my first tutorial. What I discovered is that it’s difficult to do a tutorial without deciding exactly what colors I wanted to use and without having a close-up mirror. It ended up being 25 minutes! So needless to say, I will have to do some major editing and cutting down. I talk too much lol! Also, I’ve never used any video editing software before, so we’ll see…it might not be posted for a while, but at least I’m getting started on it and I’m learning!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Rondelle (inner lid), Silver Ring (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid & crease), Humid (upper crease), Deep Truth (crease), Vellum (highlight), UD 24/7 Dime (inner lashline), Feline Kohl Power (outer lashline & waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Bobbi Brown Coral Shimmer Blush
- Lips: Arbonne Echo
