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: 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

Look: All About Yaby!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Green, Looks, MAC, Smashbox, Yaby
I told you about when I first discovered Yaby products right? I was at a salon by LAX, and one of my friends who is also into makeup, told me I HAVE to try these pearl paints by Yaby. Of course I had never heard of the up and coming brand from Toronto, but I trusted her. Normally, I don’t give a second look to brands I haven’t heard of (horrible of me or not)…there are enough brands that I have heard of and haven’t tried. She showed me how wonderful they were, how cool the palette is, and how inexpensive they are.
Anyway, I love this brand. I have nearly every Pearl Paint color and some of the regular shadows too. So this is a look I did with some of those colors.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby PP in greens, Yaby e/s in chartreuse (inner lid), olive green (middle lid), dark green (outer lid & crease), Smashbox Oyster (highlight), Jealous Kohl Power, Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Fun & Games BPB
- Lips: MAC Coral Holiday lip palette 2008 + Underage l/g

Look: Purples & Greens
Posted by Heather | Filed under Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Purple, Yaby
Sorry for the long pauses between posts. I have to get back into the habit. I gotta find my camera so I can take pictures of new looks too :-) I think purple and green go well together.
I did a great look today using the new Style Black shadows. I’ll have to do it again after I find my camera and post it. Really smokey eyes :-) My favorite MUA, Denise, made a killing off of me yesterday! I love her :-) I didn’t get the grease paint stick though, and I’m kinda regretting it. Any thoughts? Do you think it’s a must have?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby PP in purples & greens (base), Yaby e/s (purples & greens), Bottle Green (crease), Unbasic White (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Grafitti (lower lashline), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Plushlash mascara

Look: Green Scheme

That Green Theme look I did is one of my new favorites, so I’ve used it a few times already :-) Just changed up the cheeks and lips a bit. I know it’s lame of me to post the same look so soon, but it pops color, there’s contour and shading, and it’s just everything I’m all about, so I love it. I hope you do too!! I think I may need to do this one as a tutorial!

- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Chartreuse Pigment (inner lid), Kelly Green Pigment (middle lid), Kat Von D Gunner (outer lid & crease), Kat Von D Hawkwind (highlight), Tarnish Kohl (upper lashline), Bankroll Pearlglide (lower lashline), Plushlash mascara

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: For the Rehearsal
Posted by Heather | Filed under Cle de Peau, Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Yellow
Well, this look was done for the rehearsal “day” for my cousin’s wedding. She’s 22 and the wedding was in Abilene, TX. First I went and got my nails done with my mom – I chose a Nubar color (blue duochrome) which is really pretty and I wore a black dress for the wedding, so anything would match. Then we went to one of their family friends’ house for a wine and cheese gathering. It was one of the strangest houses I’ve ever seen…and there was no wine, and not a lot of cheese. Very strange. Anyway, then we headed to the church for the rehearsal and a mexican restaurant called “Amanda’s” (mexican?) for dinner. It was a fun day overall. I wanted to do a look that was indicative of me while not doing anything that people would be shocked with. I dunno if I was able to pull off both (since you never really know what people will say about you), but I really liked it. It came out exactly how I wanted it to, so that always makes me happy!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby pearl paints (base), Dreammaker (inner lid), Eyepopping (middle lid), Wondergrass (outer lid), Bottle Green (crease), Nylon (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper & lower lashline), UD 24/7 Covet (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit blush
- Lips: Chanel Intuition l/s + Cle de Peau #2 lipgloss

Look: Springtime Pink & Green
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Green, Guerlain, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Pink
I need new color combination ideas. I can’t wait for MAC Graphic Garden because those will be fun colors to put together. I was thinking about pairing up pink and green for this look. Not bright like the Barbie look; just soft colors, but that aren’t overly blended and muddy. I couldn’t think of regular e/s colors that I wanted to use for this look, so I went with all pigments.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Fresco Rose PP (base), Apricot Pink Pigment (all over lid up to crease), Golder’s Green Pigment (crease & above crease), Antique Green Pigment (crease), Pink Opal Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Ivy Shimmer Ink (upper lashline), Jealous Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit mineralized blush + Bobbi Brown Pink Platinum Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Guerlain Candy Shine l/s + YSL Golden Gloss #10
