I've got a Vendetta on Envy

This is my last week at my internship, and I am so excited.  It'll be nice to go back to school and wear fun makeup again instead of sticking to predominantly office-friendly stuff.  There's only so much taupe/muted eyeshadow and lipbalm I can wear before I get bored, you know?





Lid:  AL Myrtha

Crease:  NYX Iced Mocha

Highlight:  TANF French Vanilla

Liner:  CoverGirl exact marker thing

These pictures are HUGE for some reason!  D:

The Hit-or-Miss Rave 12/04/10

EDIT:  I completely had the wrong lid color written in.  I do not yet have Sassy Minerals Psych, I apologize if I got anybody overly excited or anything like that.

Wore this on Saturday to watch a college (US) football game.  My team was awful.  That's what I get for getting into sports.




Lid:  SM Rave

Crease:  NYX Iced Mocha

Lower lashline:  AL hitormiss topped with ... AL dirtydeeds or some Valentine's 2009 color, I can't remember.  I put this on top of Pixie Epoxy but it didn't actually look any more pigmented... probably because I was using a matte shadow *shame*

Highlight:  TANF French Vanilla

I can't wait to go home and shoot people.  I've been playing COD with Mr. Mango and, even though first-person 3D games make me feel queasy and disoriented, I'm having so much fun.  It's just a bummer that we have to play in the evenings because that's when the level 50 no-lifers come out and destroy us.  Le sad.

Gryphon Door 12/01

My first foray back into loose stuffs!  For the rest of the month I'm going to work on using up samples that I've accrued (focusing on the ones in baggies because I always forget about them) but I wanted to start off by using some of the new stuff I purchased last month and couldn't use at the time.





Lid/crease:  ES Gryphon

Liner:  that CG marker liner which I do so love

Mascara:  Rimmel Volume Flash stuff

Highlight:  did I even use one?  idk anymore.

Oddly enough I'm not sure of which photo is actually color accurate.  On me it pulled toward the first photo (pinkish-mauvey-chocolate) rather than the second (slightly pinkish bronze).  I think this color would be beautiful on fair-cool skintones, or maybe on a deep skintone as a lid/inner corner shade.  This is a big honking thumbs up for me.

Start Wearing Poiple

It's officially December!  I finished NaNoWriMo, used nothing but pressed eyeshadows/palettes for a whole month, AND I successfully hid Mr. Mango's birthday gift (COD: Black Ops) in my bookshelf, right between two large cookbooks, and he never noticed even though he actually checked the bookshelf, mostly looking behind the books/next to the wall.  I feel so clever. 

Anyway, I figured I'd catch up on pressed/palette looks before posting anything with my (much missed) indie and pressed shadows.  This next song was done entirely with the NYX Green Eyes palette.









Last one for der beautiful glitter :)

Lid:  bright purple

Inner 1/4 of lid:  very, very pale pink

Outer crease/V area:  deep jungle green

Inner crease:  leafy true green

Lower lashline:  NYX glitter liner in Lavender, a verrah nice blend of blue, green and blurple holo glitters in a sheer purple base

Mascara:  CoverGirl Lash Crap, which I realized (once again) will never work for me for longer than a month
