Look: Green Scheme
Posted by Heather | Filed under Green, Guerlain, Kat Von D, Laura Mercier, Looks, MAC, Smokey
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!
For this look I used:
- 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
- Cheeks: Fun & Games BPB + Laura Mercier Apricot Shimmer
- Lips: Guerlain Orange Shine lipstick

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

Look: I <3 Laura Geller
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blushes/Shimmers, Bronze, Cle de Peau, Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Smokey
There was no reason for me to actually do any makeup on this day, since we were just making the long drive home from Vegas, but I felt like it :-) We went to Sephora next to the Venetian because my friend Rachel had a gift certificate, and she wanted some help picking out shadows (duh, my specialty)! She ended up getting the Laura Mercier Sahara Sun Eye Mosaic (great choice…and surprisingly one I don’t have…yet).
ANYway, since I bowled so badly (which bummed me out), my fantastic husband told me he’d buy me some makeup from Sephora! OMG - this happens like once a year when he volunteers to buy me makeup! Soooooo sweet (and it totally turned my mood around…can you say bonus points?)! So I bought 3 new Laura Geller baked mineral shadows and two more of her mineral baked blushes. If you’ve never tried anything by Laura Geller, you seriously need to. Have you noticed lately that I’ve been using her Pink Grapefruit blush like all the time?! That’s because I’m completely in love with it…it seriously might be my new HG, and I never would have seen that coming! It gives me the perfect color, perfect sheen, not to mention great application and staying power. I highly recommend it, but beware if you have allergies because the first ingredients are talc and mineral oils. But for me, it’s the cat’s meow ;-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Rubenesque PP (base), All That Glitters (inner lid), Laura Geller Devil’s Food (middle lid), Laura Geller Mint (outer lid & crease), Solar White (highlight), YSL green liquid liner (upper lashline), Bobbi Brown Ivy Shimmer Ink (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Sunswept Mineralized cheek color
- Lips: Clé de Peau Beauté #13 lipstick

Look: Lips are Buzzin’
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Gold, Green, Laura Geller, Lips, Looks, MAC
I’m in a total pickle…maybe you can help me out. So I went to the MAC counter yesterday to place my Norstrom Anniversary pre-orders, and my favorite MA James talked saw me and brought me over…and talked me into buying a lot of Naked Honey stuff. Now, I had already told myself that I wasn’t going to buy anything until the F&F sale (25% off!). I like most of what I got…so my dilemma is this: do I keep what I got, and just say oh well to the 25% off, or do I return most of it (unused) to a different location and then re-purchase online and get the discount? What should I do? I guess I’m only conflicted because I don’t like to return stuff. I know it counts against them, and I dunno. Thoughts? Advice?
I had to use the lippies…just couldn’t wait, so I won’t be returning those. But to not use my Honey Light Powder…that took a LOT of my willpower!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Cash Flow PP (base), Larua Geller Devil’s Food (outer lid & crease), Laura Geller Mint (middle lid), light side of Heat Element MES (inner lid & highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), UD 24/7 Zero +Carbon+UD24/7 Zero (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Springsheen blush + Refined MSF
- Lips: Buzz lipglass

Look: Temptalia Inspired Simple Green & Dark Green
Posted by Heather | Filed under Green, Looks, MAC, Smokey
Today’s look was inspired by a look Christine from Temptalia did, which she called Simple Green & Dark Green Eyes. I looooved the way it looked on her, and it was something different that I hadn’t done before. I’ve been in a sort of creative rut lately, feeling like I have no unique ideas. So this inspiration was greatly appreciated!!! I was pretty much able to use the exact colors she did because I have them all (except for the Grotto eyeliner, so I used UD Flipside instead) and I added some upper lashline liner because I still am not confident enough to go without :-) I did change the gloss though (even though I have the one she used also) because I wanted a little more of an nude/orangy tint. I am really happy with how it came out! What do you think?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Soft Ochre PP (base), Juxt (inner & middle lid), Bottle Green (outer lid & crease), Prussian (crease), wash of Sky Blue (above crease), Femme-Fi (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Flipside (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Mineralize Blush + Nuance Mineralize Blush
- Lips: Brave New Bronze l/s + Gold Rebel lipglass + Guerlain KissKiss lipgloss #840
