So. Layer #4. This is turning into serious business. Today's layer isn't far removed from yesterday, but at least it's bling-tastic!
China Glaze Glitz N Pieces. I know, I know, not terribly different but I assure you it will start coming together. lol
Tomorrow I'm adding color! YAY!! hehehe
Okay, so Brak and I went to Ross this morning. I picked up a dress for my Magenta costume (we're doing RHPS this year!) and I did put on makeups. I didn't sweat like I thought I would, but OMG how tired do I look?!
I didn't even wear my contacts my eyes were so sleepy. I did something a little different today. Instead of the tinted moisturizer and matte powder I just used... *digs through box* Wet n Wild "COVERALL" pressed powder. It's more full-coverage, but I noticed a ton of dry patches. So I think the moisturizer was a good idea. I used the lavender lip gloss, which worked out better than the green. Same Be Flowerful blush which may have been a bit much with my tired-face. Same 'All Eyes On Me' mascara. For my eyeshadow...
I used the darker 'Eye Like Grunge' quatro. I used the olive green/gold on my lids, the off-white under my brow and the charcoal grey as liner. I did have the purple as under-eyeliner, but... that looked really bad. lol Like I had been crying.
Mini-story! Before heading to Ross I went by Walgreens. Norma recommended the Cover Girl + Olay Eye Rehab 2-in-1 and I wanted to check it out. It was $12. Is $12. lol I had some redeemable points on my card and this week they have a "buy $10 of Cover Girl and get 3000points" so technically I only paid $4. Which is much much better.
Yay! The review she linked to me said it absorbs super quick and doesn't leave much pigment after, which is okay. Just means I can use it daily whether I wear other makeup or not without looking busted. ^_^
Okay, I think that's it for today. Going to keep the Julep blotters in my purse so I'll have them handy when the opportunity arises. Will try to get a picture of the dress I chose as the base for Magenta. It's not quite as good as the dress I used to have, but in some ways it's almost better. ;) You'll see. Hope everyone is having a terrific week!
Oh interesting, I must check out that concealer!
ReplyDeleteI always keep a pack of blotting paper in my bags, I go through them so quickly!
I have never used them before. Usually when I get to the point of face-moisture I'm downright dripping. -_-
DeleteI never thought nails could be as interesting as you and The Sloths make them ! And you do dream work as well ? That sounds so interesting, i would love to know more.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D I'm glad you've been enjoying them. I did an overview post with some links during the Blog In May challenge, here's the link if you're interested:

OOH I love your face of the day!! Also LOL @ me raving about the cover girl under eye makeup then sending you a link from a person who hated it LOL *fail*. The review said it absorbed quickly but I didn't find that at all (mind you my skin is oily). Put some on around 3 in the afternoon and it was still there by like 8 at night (when I was like 'oops! forgot to take this off!)
ReplyDeleteOOH a new layer - looks spiffy! Are you worried about the struggle you're going to have getting that glitter off? Glitter polish and I have such a love/hate relationship >_<
Also - what does it mean that you keep exceeding bandwidth? *is clueless* Is it that each time a person visits your site it 'takes' a little or something?
ReplyDeletelol Yeah, I was just thinking "I wonder how long it's going to take to get all of this off". >_< Didn't think about that before I started. Yeah, everytime someone (even me) loads up pictures outside of the photobucket site (like looking at my blog) then it logs the data transfer. Bigger pictures eat up more bandwidth so I try to make sure to resize them all. It USED to be unlimited, but then they changed everything and put up all kinds of restrictions. That's okay, though, because I am not above opening new email accounts to extend my bandwidth. ;)
Delete*gives Lizzy a high five* oh Lizzy you naughty girl :D
Delete*high five* teehee I'll resort to whatever means necessary to keep this blog going and full of pretty pictures. Provided those means are free. ;)
DeleteYou don't look tired! And your skin looks really good again :) I like the eye look too, makes your eyes pop! Hope that Olay stuff works!
ReplyDeleteAw ^_^ You make me blush.
DeleteYour makeup looks awesome! You have already got me painting my nails, I can't have you wanting me to put on makeup every day...lol. I need to experiment with some of the colors I have. The boldest I have gone is a deep purple. I mainly just stick with my bronze brown combo. oh, I am loving where this 7 days is going.
ReplyDeletelol I don't think there's any worry there. I usually don't wear makeup. Maybe once or twice a month. ;) I used to wear SO many colors, every day. Color is fun.
