Green with Envy

Two words: Oooohh lala. Is that three?
This is a look I did last night for karaoke. 

Looks very festive though, maybe I was thinking about Christmas. It IS right around the corner.

Here's what I used:
Eyes: MAC Prep & Prime eyeshadow base (medium) - MAC BioGreen - MAC Warm Chill - MAC Gulf Stream - MAC Pencil in Forest Green - MAC kohl liner in Feline - Benefit BadGal Lash
Lips - MAC prolong in Red Flame/Orange Flicker

Skinny Bitch!

This is a bid kick in the rump for those of us who want to be healthy, happy, and beautiful! This is a MUST READ for everyone (yes, even men!)
It made me laugh, cry, and really changed my point of view on some things, so I encourange everyone to check it out. My only negitive review is that the profanity in the book is a bit overkill, also you need to take ALL the advice with a grain of salt! Don't go overboard with this, unless you live in LA or NYC. They go overboard with everything. (sorry)

Double Time - Flapper Look

I made a video! Well, sorta with help. Meeger at best, but I've already got a pile full of ideas on how to improve it. 

I was going for a theatrical nineteen twenties makeup look. Below is a list of what I used. 

Jane Iredale Disapear Concealer

Jane Iredale Circle Delete

MAC Prep and Prime Face and Eyelid Primer

Jane Liquid - Cheapy stuff

Jane Iredale PureMatte Finish Powder

Baby Powder

Jane Iredale Flushed blush (use as sculpter also inside of eyes near nasal bridge)

Jane Iredale Wine & Roses shadow (base all over lid)

Jane Iredale Smokey Grey  (outer edge)

MAC Post Haste (middle and inner lid)

MAC Black Tied (all around eyes)

Jane Iredale longest lash in Black Ice

Jane Iredale black eyeliner

Jane Iredale Spice lipliner

Jane Iredale Toffee gloss

Jane Iredale 14k silver dust (highlighter)

Warning: I got carried away with lipstick and brushes and filled in one side of my model's lips too much, hey you live you learn! It doesn't make it any less cool to me. Thanks to April for being my model extrodinare, and also to my wonderful husband who indulges me in all this silliness, and his musical wonderment (heard in video)!

Below are the photos from the end of the video - youtube has terrible resolution so I thought you might like to see them as they were orginally intended.

Making it up as we go...

Day Look: MAC Lid Primer in Luna

MAC Gold mine (inner lid and underneath bottom lashes)

Jane Iredale Trio Green Dream - Middle Green (middle of lid)

MAC Bio-Green (middle of the lid)

MAC Shimmermoss (outer corner)

MAC Forever Green (thick liner)

Too Faced Club Liquid Liner in Bronze (skinny liner, top and bottom)

Day:Lips Sydney Lip Plumper from Jane Iredale

Katch-chup!

Okay :deep breath: I've got a lot to cram into one little post here. This week I celebrated my 23rd year of being on this earth. It was a bit lame, I agree with my most wonderful husband it is a bit of a loser age. You're two years from renting a car, you've been legally drinking for two years which is getting old fast. I'll just wait it out I guess, until I turn a more sexy age. I went and did my most favorite activity: karaoke!  I sang with April: Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer, Rehab - Amy Winehouse, Criminal-Fiona Apple. Below are some fun photos we took. PS: I recieved a new haircut, one with bangs! I keep getting the cher reference though, so I don't know how I feel about that.

Ontop of all the birthday fun, I am trying to compile a virtual make-up portfolio so another entry is included. I will start having to pay April for the use of her face and especially her eyes, they make a great canvas.

 

 BEFORE

List of Supplies:

As aforementioned, I LOVE MAKE-UP! I did this little number the other night on my friend APRIL. Below is what we used, MAC paint pot - blackground, Mac shadow in expensive pink, shimmermoss, post haste, and black tied, with a jane iredale black brown eye pencil, and blinc mascara in royal blue. It is very dark, but pretty for a evening affair.

Please give me any feedback, questions or comments.
