NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: Denver Nuggets

Tweet

Hello gorgeous ladies! ;)

Today's look is for the Denver Nuggets, whose colors are powder blue, white, gold and navy. I was happy with the results because I did have some bumps along the way. I used MAC's Felt Blue eyeshadow thinking it would be perfect as the powder blue but after applying it over the navy blue shadow it wasn't as light as I wanted it to be. So I had to pack on a matte white eyeshadow over it to get the right color. Let me know what you think, I hope you all enjoy it. ;)

NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: San Antonio Spurs

Tweet

Hello Dolls! ;)

Today's look is for the San Antonio Spurs and their colors are black, silver & white. I think this would've been great with false lashes but I need to buy more lol. I should get some in bulk on ebay so I don't need to worry for a while. I went a little heavy on the contouring because I just wanted to use a light bronzer in place of blush. Hope you all enjoy it. ;)

NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: Oklahoma City Thunder

Tweet

Hello Dolls! ;)

And the series keeps on going! lol. Today I chose to do a look for the Oklahoma City Thunder. This reminds me of a sunset look I did a while back. I just wanted to mention that I am aware that my skin looks different shades in my photos because I don't always get the same lighting. lol. Anyhoo, hope you all enjoy it! ;)

NBA Playoffs Makeup Series: Boston Celtics

Tweet

Hello my lovely ladies!

I know the playoffs already started but better late than never, right? My favorite team is the Boston Celtics and I'm hoping that they'll be able to bring home banner #18. Since they are my favorite, I thought I'd do the first look for them and I hope you like it. I chose not to add false lashes for this look, only because I used gold liner on top of the black liner, and I didn't want it to be overpowered by huge lashes. On another note, tonight is 31-cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins so if you love ice cream, head on over there until 10pm. :)

Milani's Blue My Mind Eyeshadow & FOTN

Tweet

Hello my gorgeous Dolls! ;)

Just wanted to share my makeup from last night. I had dinner with my other half. ;) I recently purchased Milani's Blue My Mind Metallic Baked Eyeshadow. The color of this shadow is a bright electric blue. It can be used wet or dry, but the pigmentation when used dry is almost as good as using it wet. I've always been a fan of Milani Cosmetics and this eyeshadow hasn't disappointed me one bit. Okay, well the little applicator is useless but other than that, it's great! My FOTN photo does not do this eyeshadow any justice! It's very true to the color in the pan. ;)

Purple & Blue Makeup

Hello dolls! I had some time to play with makeup today and I wanted to incorporate purple and blue together and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! ;)

St. Patty's Day Makeup

Aloha everyone! Hope you all enjoyed St. Patty's Day! Here is a look I did using MAC & Wet N' Wild. Enjoy! ;)

Kat Von D Inspired

Hello everyone! I'm back with an inspired makeup post. This is actually supposed to be a contest entry for YouTube. I haven't uploaded the video yet. It was raining and cloudy all day so I'm not sure if the lighting was good.

Cleopatra-esque

Howdy fellow bloggers & guests! It's been another hot minute since I last posted! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. ;)

I've been wanting to film another makeup tutorial but unfortunately I always seem to get distracted by the little ones. =T

I don't normally use black eyeshadow to fill in my brows, nor do I fill them in this way, but it was best for this particular look. The lip color is more accurate in the first photo and wasn't frosty and bright like the second one. I'm a little rusty in cutting the crease. I need to work on that a little more, I think I went a little too high with the crease.

Fab & Flashy Look & I'm Back on YouTube

Aloha! =) I've been slacking lately. But I hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my followers and anyone who happens to stumble upon my little blog. So, "Thank You!" ;)

Out of boredom the other day, I came up with this look. I figured it was time to break in my Fab & Flashy eyeshadow. It was calling out to me saying, "Show me some love!" lol.

Drugstore Collective Haul + Recent Mini Haul

Here are some things I've hauled over the past few weeks or so. A lot of these things I purchased due to awesome reviews on several blogs and youtube channels. Also, most of these items were on sale and that is definitely the best way to go. Drugstore brands are, for the most part, affordable as is, but to snag items that are at an extra percentage off or BOGO is even better.

One of the things I was really excited to try was the new Wet N' Wild products. They have come out with new matte lipsticks, single eyeshadows, eyeshadow palettes, along with some new formulated mascaras. All of which are great bargains. I am not too sure that they are out in CVS yet (or Longs, here in Hawaii) but I got mine from Walgreens.  From what I have seen, the new color icon palettes have several MAC dupes which was of course why I wanted to try them out so bad! :D I have used #249 palette in 'Vanity' a few times last week and I must say that I am impressed. The pigmentation is great and the eyeshadows are very buttery soft and easy to blend. I have tried WNW's single eyeshadows in the little pots before and they were great as well, very velvety smooth. I only decided to try one of the new matte lipsticks in #902 'Bare It All'. Wasn't too satisfied with that one as I found it is quite drying on the lips, but nothing a little gloss can't fix. You can be sure to check out an upcoming review on these new WNW products. :)
