Lime Green and Bright Blue Cut Crease FOTD

Long time, no post! Even though it's only been a week since I last posted anything, it feels like it's been ages. I started my summer job on Friday (selling Konad Nail Art as a local fair), went on a mini vacation on Saturday/Sunday in addition to trying to study more for the GRE so free time has been a premium for the last week.

I've been so inspired lately by the Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette that I can't stop doing looks with them. I have been neglected 2am though so I'm hoping to find some inspiration to do a look with it.


I absolutely positively love these Sinnocent lashes. Brooke mentioned in her Things I'm Loving-IMATS they're a pretty close dupe of the Shu Uemura Luxe Black lashes. I'm still craving the Saint Lashes but unfortunately they were sold out at IMATS and I am a little wimpy now about paying shipping for them on Sugarpill's site (though I'm sure I'll break down soon and get them).

I'm making it a mission of mine to try out more indie lip products, what are some of your favorite brands? I made a purchase of a few Silk Naturals lip products so I have that coming to me but I'm looking to find out more!

Graphic Royal Sugar FOTD

One of my favorite makeup tumblrs to follow is Powderdoom, headed by the lovely Arabelle and Chi Chi. I absolutely adore it as a source of inspiration because they always reblog gorgeous models with unique makeup so I get to see makeup on all different kinds of eyeshapes, especially Asian eyeshapes, images which I've always had trouble finding on the internet.

A makeup trend I've seen on their tumblr has models with graphic and sharp makeup shapes. I wanted to do a really graphic eyeshadow/liner look to complement my eyeshape. I heard or read somewhere that Asian eyes suit eyeliner best so what better way to do that than to do a bright graphic line? I also wanted to take the time to test out properly some of the goodies I purchased at The Makeup Show LA.

Fact, Sugarpill Royal Sugar will always be a gorgeous all over lid or liner color. No tape used, just lots of precise cleaning with q-tips!

I'm really happy with how the HD Foundation looks on my skin. My skin is much darker on my forehead than on my cheeks and it's always been a hassle trying to even it out. The HD Foundation makes me feel good about my skin and that's a tough thing to do.

Tangled in a Not So Silent Night EOTD

It's been a while since I've done an EOTD and I recently won some Aromaleigh eyeshadows so I decided to use some of the eyeshadows I got to do a look. I didn't intend on it, but it does match up with Hanukkah colors (at least the colors adopted for the holiday). I've been in a big neutrals look so it was nice to use a good sparkly deep blue/navy color and accentuate it with the metallic silver.


I actually used Sugarpill's Lumi on the center of the lid over the silver, but the flash obscured the sparkle.
