Turquoise + Black Look && NOTD (Pardon my forehead...)

So, I've been MIA for a minute. No posts, no comments-- nothing.
That is chiefly because, with the start of the new year, came much B.S.
So, I've had a lot of random things to deal with since Jan. 1st-- even New Years was wack... I fell asleep at 11pm, and woke up because I heard fireworks @ Lenox Mall lol.

Fun stuff.

Anyway, I'm back. I have some time now, therein, I will be catching up on commenting :)

Here's a look I did today. Got really bored, and felt like using one of my X-Mas presents.

It's a huge kit, made by Markwin's International. They are the same company who makes Wet&Wild and Black Radiance. Have no idea where my mom found this.

But here is the look.
And I couldn't find one or two pictures that I liked of it, so-- naturally-- here's all of them.

Wow, my trash in the background... thats cute :)

Yeah, couldn't pick just one.
Here is what I used.

eyes:

UDPP
Light Blue (Markwin's) - Whole Lid
FlipSide (Urban Decay) - Half Lid/Lower Lashline
Lagoon (Smashbox) - Outer Corner
Shimmering Onyx (CoverGirl) - Outer V.
HiP Black Creme Liner
Maybelline Colossal Lash

face:
undereye concealer (read below)
MAC Mineralized Satinfinish Foundation (NC42)
CoverGirl TruBlend Powder (Translucent Medium)
HiP Creme Blush (Blushing 999)

Yep, like it? One thing about that Smashbox mess... its pretty much powder. Barely any color payoff. And they cost more than MAC, so I figured better quality? Wrooong. Maybe it's just this color, I dunno...

Anyway. Here's another random picture of a look I did the night Miss V. came back from Iraq (yaaaay! Btw :). I used my 120 palette, and some HiP Shadow (forget which one), and their crayon (in the tan color). I didn't really like this at all. I think I'm too yellow for the red looks lol.


Yeah, gross lol. Looks like fish eyes.
Anyway. I said read below for the new concealer I had found that actually covers up my undereye circles. I had actually bought it way back when I worked at Sally's-- but just started using it.

It's the "Yellow" concealer by Palladio. It's great-- if you have terrible undereye issues like I do-- try it. Its around 4 dollars, I think.

Lastly. Some nails.

Some Barbie Pink polish from China Glaze in "Make An Entrance".

--Adios.

This Weekend-- Pic Heavy...

Kyle and I ran a lot of errands on Sunday... and we took pictures :) Random pictures, laced with a few cat-ladyesque images of my babies.

Oh firstly... thanks to Lady L, I remembered that I had the Ammo palette from Urban Decay. So I just did a neutral eye with a few of the colors. I used my Deluxe palettom from UD, as well

I used

SMOG all over the lid. (top, left)
MAUI WOWIE on the brow bone.
ZERO on the outer v.
SHAG on the inner corner, and on my lower lash line.

Before we left out. Mad ghosts in both of those pictures...
Isn't that was those spot are supposed to be.

Speaking of... what was weird... I was home alone today, and Keaton comes over, stops at the door, points down the hallway, and says "Who is that?"-- creepy. We have a lot of strange incidents here tho, with lights turning on at random, stuff like that... oh well lol.

Ikea pizza... tastes like Totinos... or cafeteria pizza... :)
:)

Then we went to Home Depot... being a blogger, and taking pictures of mundane daily activities gets hard when people can yaknow... see you lol. Why are you taking pictures at Home Depot? Oh because Kyle poses.

Then we went to Starbucks... and Kyle (at 6'3 2/4, big as hell) drank a short caramel apple cider.
Gross hot white chocolate.

Yeah, so that was our exciting weekend. So um, if you didn't know, I'm a lightweight catlady. And my cats do cute things. People with cats might get it, if not, um... yeah. :)

Sleepy Luna.

Looks like a pikachu. He poses.

And the sickly Keaton, who was sniffling and sneezing all Friday night. Fun.

Peace.
