EOTD: Autumn look

I decided to take some time out of my homework session tonight to create a look to enter in the Makeup Geek Autumn competition only to realize after I had taken off the makeup that I needed to take a picture holding a hand-written sign to legitimize the entry, so I'll have to redo it at a later date. But for now, I have a picture of the look to share on here. I also took pictures to post a step-by-step later on when I have time to put it together!

FOTD: Naked 2 and a Red Lip + Hiatus

Hi Everyone!
I hope you enjoyed my review yesterday of the Maybelline Superstays! It may be clear that lately I have not been posting at all, and there is a good reason for that... and that reason means that I am going to have to take an official hiatus so that I don't end up abandoning this blog because I love it so much.

As you may know if you read my very first post in this blog, I'm in university going towards my B.A. in Law and Justice and this year I'll be graduating. School starts on Wednesday (2 days away!) and 1 month from tomorrow I'm writing my LSATs (Law School Admission Test). This is basically the most important test of my life thus far (I imagine the Bar exam will be up there too :P) and I need to be spending any minute I have that isn't spent at work or at school studying for it. On top of that, in the next 2 months I need to have my applications for law schools finished! It is going to be a crazy 4 months and I don't imagine I'll have time for blogging, if I even have time in the morning to put my face on!

So, I am going to hiatus this blog and hope that my loyal followers will stick around til my next post because I love you so!

On that note, I will leave you with my FOTD; I bought a Gosh Long Lasting Lip Marker on Saturday and I've worn it twice and it is officially my favourite colour lipstick to wear. It is not as long lasting as the Maybelline ones I reviewed yesterday but I am LOVING the colour <3

Review: Maybelline Superstay 24 Color

I recently discovered this little makeup gem a few weeks ago. My biggest thing about lip colours is that I have to constantly reapply during the day - that I'll never get through talking to customers all day at work or eating lunch with these magnificent red lips lasting. So when I tried these Maybelline Superstay 24 Color that my friend had purchased I was amazed and impressed and in love. Nothing is perfect, but these little gems are close. 

I'm going to talk about these in general and show you swatches of the 5 that I have.

EOTD: Mint Vanilla Chocolate

Hey guys! Hope your summer is going well. Mine has been fairly busy working quite a bit, volunteering, and seeing some friends so I haven't had much time to do makeup and get decent pictures of it for a post. I have a few looks planned and an awesome review coming up, but til then I have another Makeup Bee Competition entry to share with you (and encourage those who like it to vote ; ) Thank you!)

The competition this time around is to be inspired by Shu Uemura's new Chocolate Donna Fantasy collection. I decided to look through the products in this collection and found the Mint Vanilla palette which inspired this look. I loved the colours together and the idea of mint chocolate since it's my favourite kind. I think I could have made it look a bit more chocolatey and probably even added some more mint colour in it, but I love how it turned out and I hope you do to!

Again, if you like it you can vote HERE, you can make an account or sign in with Facebook or Twitter and just click "LUV" ! Thanks guys!

Used:

• UDPP
• Urban Decay Naked Palette (Buck, Naked, Virgin, Darkhorse)
• Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Mocha
• Sugarpill Eyeshadow in Mochi
• Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Eyelienr in Black
• Sugarpill eyelashes in Stormy

FOTD: Classic Starlet

I saw today that Makeup Bee was hosting another competition and I actually had time on Day 1 to do my entry rather than half way through the competition like all the other ones I've done, so as soon as I got home from work I got on my entry. I ended up absolutely loving this look. I finally got to use my Gosh Holographic Silver effect powder which is sparkly and amazing and I used my Sugarpill Saint lashes which are the best lashes I've ever seen!
Onto the look!

EOTD: Blue Ring Angel Fish

The amazing community MakeupBee is having a tropical competition right now, and while looking through Google images for inspiration I came across this picture of a Blue Ring Angel Fish (which is obviously a tropical fish). I just knew right away that I had to do a look inspired by it so I made a facechart with ideas. I usually have a hard time translating from my facechart to my face, but this time I really knew what I wanted and it came out perfectly in my opinion! If you like my look you can vote for me here (you need an account, so just sign in and click on the "LUV" button next to my look :). Thanks guys!

• Sugarpill Tako
• The Body Needs Shimmers Teal
• Sugarpill Flamepoint
• Makeup Geek Chickadee
• Lime Crime Uniliner in Lazuli

EOTD: SugarPeacock

I got home the other night and I had two packages waiting for me that I had been anticipating. One from Sugarpill and one from Lime Crime. I had to wait in anticipation for the morning to try any of the products, unfortunately, because it was passed midnight and I didn't think it was worth it to try to do my makeup so late at night! 

So in the morning I came up with this look using my new products and I loved it. I didn't really have any inspiration besides having the Heart Breaker palette open beside me (which is honestly inspiration enough!), but when I got to work later that day a favourite customer of mine asked me why I had peacock eyes and I realized just how peacocky the look turned out to be!

I loved this look and I hope you do too!
