Monday Purple Look

Hello Beautiful People!

I figured before I fail myself at the 30 day blogger challenge (Day 8 I think I've lost count :) that I would post some of the things that keep me from blogging sometimes. On my MUA Community Chat line we are doing a color themed week and today is PURPLE! I love purple and happen to forget all about it this morning and did the look in purple rocked it all day fiercely in the 95 degree heat so when I got home I jumped in the shower... So at 11pm when I go on facebook and realize what color today was I was thoroughly mad with myself. Longstory short I redid the look. Here it is in all its glory.

Nars Express Yourself Look #9 Miss Merli

Hey Beautiful People,


So in browsing the internet I discovered this challenge on Nars where you recreate looks from the book created by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars, in which everyday people were made up to look extraordinary. Get out your brushes, turn the lens on yourself and have the chance to win one of 13 prizes—including a trip to New York City for you and a friend with backstage access to New York Fashion Week, as well as special-edition NARS gift sets created exclusively for the launch of Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself. So  please do vote for me, I would be ever so grateful. :) And share Retweet, reblog, and all that awesome stuff. Click on the link below to go straight to my look. Here are some photos of the look and also a list of items in which I used to create the look.
