Look: Minx & Teal
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Kat Von D, Looks, MAC, NARS, Purple, Smashbox, Teal, Yaby
I’ve recently gotten into some Smashbox shadows, and I absolutely love them! The texture is buttery soft and smooth, the pigmentation is fantastic, and best of all, they are the same size as MAC so I can depot them! Genius! I’ve only picked up a few colors to start: two oranges (Flamingo & Torch), a yellow-tinted white highlight (Oyster), and this one: a taupe/purple-ish color called Minx. It’s a fantastic and fascinating color! Really, I have nothing like it…which as we know is hard to find. I thought I’d mix it up a little and add some teal to this look to match my shirt. :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in beige and teal, Smashbox Minx (all over lid), Strike a Pose (outer lid & crease), Carbon (crease), Unbasic White (highlight), Kat Von D Proud Peacock (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Flipside (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Madly + a little NARS Orgasm
- Lips: Mellow Mood l/s + Viva Glam V l/g

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.
For this look I used:
- 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
- Cheeks: Tippy BPB
- Lips: NARS Stella + Lip Fusion Blush lipgloss

Look: Purples with Range
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey, Yaby
The colors that I can show the most depth and range with are greens and teals. There are so many good light vs. dark contrasts that I can make on the eye using those colors. Strangely, purple isn’t usually one of those colors that I can make that nice contrast with. And I say strangely, because it should be easy - purple ranges immensely from light to dark, from the reddish to the blueish, etc. So you’d think it would be easy, but not so in my experience. Put this time I feel like I did accomplish a nice fade. It all doesn’t look like one muddied color for once! I’m not sure what I did differently…maybe using the Yaby Pearl Paints as bases worked better for me. Anyway, here’s the look!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in purples (base), Crystal (inner lid), Noctournelle (middle lid), Jewel Tone (outer lid), Top Knot (crease), Vellum (highlight), Rave Pearlglide (lower lashline), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: True Romance BPB
- Lips: Guerlain (expensive lipstick with no name lol!) + I can’t remember which gloss…sorry!

Look: Kat Von D Beethoven Gray & Purple
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Gray, Kat Von D, Looks, MAC, Purple
Well… this turned out more on the gray side than purple. It just goes to show you that the colors come out differently on your skin than they look in the palette. Not one of my favorite looks, but that’s ok. It’s worth a look I think.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Kat Von D Beethoven Palette, Phloof! (highlight), Bobbi Brown Violet Shimmer Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Tippy BPB
- Lips: Internationalist Dazzleglass

Look: Graphic Garden
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey, Teal
Holy awesomeness! I love this palette! Ok, I’ve only done one look with it, but I really like it - full of color (which everyone knows is how I like it)! I like this one even more than the Fresh Cut palette…not more than the Kat Von D palettes though :-) Close second!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Graphic Garden Palette: Wild Wisteria (inner lid), Straight Hedge (middle lid), Botanical Blue (outer lid), Graphic Garden (crease), Social Climber (highlight), Blooz Kohl (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Fad-Dabulous mineralize blush + Shell Pearl powder
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Rose Garden Creamy lip color

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: Did you match your eyes to your shirt?
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey
Yeah…I did. So sue me. ;-P
At first I had a bright pink lip for this look, and I have one picture with it on, but I really didn’t like it, so I switched to the lighter pink lip. Should I have left it? Or do you like it better with the paler lip?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bare Study PP (base), Beautiful Iris (inner lid), Parfait Amour (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid & crease), Sugarshot (highlight), Bobbi Brown Violet Shimmer Ink (liner), UD 24/7 Zero (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Springsheen blush + Bobbi Brown Pink Platinum Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Shy Girl l/s + Baby Sparks Dazzleglass

Look: Entremauve Purple
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Cle de Peau, Guerlain, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey
This is a super duper easy look today. It’s kinda bright, and definitely very contrasting with the colors, but when blended well, it looked nice.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Jardin Aires Pigment (all over lid), Entremauve Pigment (outer lid & crease), Naked Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Violet Shimmer Ink (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Mineralized blush
- Lips: Guerlain(a sample of the new lipsticks they have…if you want to know which one, let me know and I’ll look it up) + Clé de Peau #2 lipgloss

Look: Style Warriors Purple Combo
Posted by Heather | Filed under Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey
Well, I used the purple side of Style Warriors for this look. It came out like another purple smokey eye I did a while back. I like how the color gets more gray as it goes to the outer eye. The lip look came out on the pink side…probably because Fashion Mews is like a light lavender, almost pinkish and F&F definitely has some pink in it. I know Rachael is probably not a fan of the lippie, but I like how it complements the smoked out purples. What are your thoughts? What lip color/combo would you have gone with?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Nice Vice PP (base), Illegal Cargo (inner lid), Vibrant Grape (middle lid), Night Maneuvers (outer lid & crease), Soft Force (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: On A Mission BPB
- Lips: Fashion Mews l/s + Fierce & Fabulous lipglass
