Look: Silver Smokey with Some Color

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!

Look: Holiday ’08 Classic Eyes Palette

Funny story. So my DH (dear husband) and I were cooking dinner last night (using the microwave and the toaster oven lol) when all of a sudden the electricity in only the kitchen went out. No problem – I went to the circuit breaker and flipped some switches… well something went wrong and none of the lights that were connected to switches in the whole apartment worked! All of the plugs worked still though. So while getting ready with this look, the ONLY light I had was the little light around the mirror…so if this comes out not as good as some of my other looks, I apologize, but it was really hard to see lol :-)
