FOTD Brown

FOTD: Fyrinnae Polar Bear, Druid Werewolf, Avenging Salem, & Velvet Vampire

12:12 PM


Another FOTD, this time using some of my all-time favorite neutrals from Fyrinnae: Polar Bear, Druid Werewolf, Velvet Vampire & Avenging Salem.  All the sparkle and glitz in these neutrals really give them such complexity that is really difficult to capture in the photos, but I've attached several in hopes of trying. 


For the look, here is what I used:

Face:
Laura Geller Champagne Spackle
Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten - Regular
Mally Bronzer
NARS Blush in Super Orgasm

Eyes:
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy - all over lid
Fyrinnae Polar Bear - inner corner of lid, inner portion of lower lashline
Fyrinnae Druid Werewolf - middle of lid next to Polar Bear and all along lower lashline
Fyrinnae Velvet Vampire - outer portion of middle of lid blended into Druid Werewolf and patted on top of Avenging Salem on the outer V
Fyrinnae Avenging Salem - outer corner blended into crease
Physician's Formula Gel Eyeliner - black
Loreal Voluminous Power Volume 24Hr Mascara - Black

Lips
Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple

Below are a few more pictures, plus a closeup of the eyes...



Hard to believe tomorrow is July 4th!  Anyone have any fun patriotic manicures or looks they plan on doing in celebration of the day?  I'll probably work on a manicure, but haven't quite figured out what I will do yet.



Cargo

Soft & Smokey FOTD: Cargo Hands of Hope Pallet

11:35 AM

It has been extrodinarily hot and humid here in the midwest over the past week, and it doesn't look like that's about to change anytime soon.  Since I haven't worn much makeup on the weekends to give my skin a break from fighting makeup on the humid days, I was organizing my stash.  I found tons I haven't worn in a while.  A couple of Christmases ago I received the Cargo Hands of Hope Pallet, and it was calling me to use this morning.  This is one of those pallets that I think is just too pretty to use, but I really wanted to wear a blue and gold that had a softer pigmentation and finish and these two fit the bill. 


Below are the three shades I used to create this look - the royal blue and gold from the middle row, and the champagne shade from the middle row as well. 




For the look below, here is what I used:

Face
Laura Geller Champagne Spackle
Laura Geller Real Deal Concealer - Light
Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten - Regular
Mally Bronzer - Light
Laura Geller Blush 'n Brighten - Apricot Berry

Eyes
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Cargo Hands of Hope Pallet - Gold - inner corner/lower lashline
Cargo Hands of Hope Pallet - Dark Blue - middle of lid
MAC Venomous Villain's "She Who Dares" - Blue side - outer corner
Cargo Hands of Hope Pallet - Champagne - highlight
L'oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24Hr Mascara - Black

Lips
e.l.f. Lipstick in Just Bitten




Hopefully you all had a nice weekend!  Here's to another week...



Reader Questions

Random Question: Soap Making...have you done it?

9:45 AM


Recently I've had the urge to try and make soaps.  Be it Bath Bombs/Fizzies, or slices of home-made soaps, my inner Martha Stewart likes the idea of the project.  Of course, I know it is probably a major undertaking at first, but I am soliciting some advice from you, my readers...

Do you or have you made your own soaps?   I love the idea of the soaps by the slice. 

If you do make your own soaps, who do you recommend for supplies?  Do you order online or do you have a local shop you go to?

What about any websites you recommend for "how-to's" and recipes?

Thanks!
