EOTD- Early Spring

Today's look is simple and spring-tastic, and, if I'm completely honest, M.A.C.-tastic as well. Yesterday I purchased an empty 15 pan M.A.C. palette and de-potted all of my eyeshadows- the smell of melting plastic made me a smidge loopy for the rest of the afternoon. So, this morning I carted my butt up to the M.A.C. counter, turned in my empty containers, and picked me out some lipstick. Also, I hit up my local CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) yesterday and picked up a few M.A.C. things there as well, so they, too, will be making an appearance in this post. This whole spiel was just to say that now that my shadows are in one spot and I can see them and I have new stuff and I wanted to play.You can't blame a girl, right?

Moving on...

Face:

• Ulta Color Instincts Shade-Adjusting Foundation in 'Light'
• M.A.C. Prep + Prime Translucent Finishing Powder
• 'Dirty Plum' blush by M.A.C.

Eyes:

• UDPP in 'Original'
• 'Expensive Pink' eyeshadow by M.A.C., all over the lid and slightly above the crease
• 'Prussian' eyeshadow by M.A.C., in the crease, and along the outer two-thirds of the lower lash line
• 'Grey/Brown' eyeshadow (nameless eyeshadow from the Colourizations Duo #3) by M.A.C., in the crease to blend out 'Prussian', and also along the outer two-thirds of the lower lash line
• 'Blue Spruce' eyeshadow by M.A.C., in the outer 'v' only
• 'Coppering' eyeshadow by M.A.C., in between 'Blue Spruce' and 'Expensive Pink'
• 'Woodwinked' eyeshadow by M.A.C., in the inner corner and along the inner third of the lower lash line
• 'Tissueweight' eyeshadow by M.A.C., as the brow bone highlight
• M.A.C. Technakohl Liner in 'Brown Border'
• NYX Eyeliner Pencil in 'Velvet', on the bottom waterline
• M.A.C. Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara

Lips:

• 'Vegas Volt' lipstick by M.A.C.
• 'Strage Potion' lipglass by M.A.C.

I said it was going to be M.A.C. heavy. 

This isn't my best work by a long shot, but I feel pretty right now, and that's all that really matters.

Also, the Ulta foundation I'm using is new (I got it for free with the Ulta points I earned last quarter. Woot!), so I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Let me know in the comments what you think. 

Thanks for reading my loves!

Later my freaky darlings!

EOTD- Stockholm Syndrome

I know that 'Stockholm Syndrome' is probably one of the craziest (no pun intended) names for a makeup look, but, hey, it is what it is. Honestly, I think I got the title because I've been listening to a lot of Muse lately and this song must have been playing in the background while I was slapping my face on. So we're just gonna go with it.

So with this look I really wanted to play with a few NYX items I picked up at Ulta yesterday. I grabbed three of their waterproof eyeliners (two of them are retractable) and their Pin-Up Tease mascara. I won't go into too much detail, especially since I've only tried one of the liners and the mascara, but I promise that there's a review and pics forthcoming.

Let's get to the look, shall we?

Face:

• M.A.C. Studio Fix Fluid in NC15
• M.A.C. Prep + Prime Translucent Setting Powder
• 'Corail Frission' blush by Sephora

Eyes:

• UDPP in 'Original'
• 'Darkhorse' eyeshadow by Urban Decay, all over the lid and up over the 
• 'Hustle' eyeshadow by Urban Decay, over the first eyeshadow as a wash and to blend everything out
• 'Sin' eyeshadow by Urban Decay, as the brow bone highlight
• NYX Slide On, Glide On, Stay On & Definitely A Turn On Waterproof Extreme Shine Eye Liner (Yes, that is the full name. Serious business) in 'Pretty Violet', in the waterline and along the lower lash line.
• 'Poison Plum' eyeshadow by Sugarpill, to set the eyeliner (probably didn't need it, but oh well) and to add some more purple deliciousness
• Sephora Waterproff Kohl Liner in 'Keep Black', in the upper tightline
• Pin-Up Tease mascara by NYX

Lips:

• 'Sublime Culture' lip pencil by M.A.C.
• 'Creme d'Nude' lipstick by M.A.C.
• 'Sunset Peach' lipgloss by Revlon

I know I used that last lip color combo in the second Valentine's look I did, but I do really like it and a nude lip just seemed to fit this look.

Since I mentioned Muse, I thought I'd leave off with their song 'Stockholm Syndrome'. It's a great song, and one of my faves.

See you later, my freaky darlings.
