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.

Feening Fashion Tuesday

Hello Beautiful People!

     How are you... well this past week has been so eye opening for me. As you know I love shopping but now I realize I need to take a break or I need to learn to watch from afar or plan ahead. So from now on I'm going to post some of the fashion finds that I want (I never need lol) and see on the internet. High and lows so anything from Old Navy to Outet.com Welp enjoy my first feening fashion tuesday. Today I will be window shopping on TheOutnet.com

I am totally loving this Zimmermann bathing suit from TheOutnet.com because of the amazing price $88 and the hiding capabilities for my tummy of course and strapless is always fun.

Aren't these Sergio Rossi Snake shoes fabulous. I'm a huge platform fan because of the stability as well as the ability to wear higher heights without fear of falling :) Also from TheOutnet I also just realized that if I was going to a pool party that heel and suit would go perfect together.

Both dresses are See by Chloe I love both of them so cool and timeless. Dress it up with heels or down with ballet flats you simply can't go wrong with either dress.

Am I the only weird that is over 25 and still loves backpacks. Well honey this Sydney Tweed backpack by Alexander Wang is for the grown and sexy in my opinion.

My Sister's Prom

Hello Beautiful people,

           What an evening it was waiting almost 3 hours for my sister to come home so I can do her makeup only for her to come and leave only about 15 minutes to do her full makeup. While some would say that was enough time, for me it wasn't especially since she had an eye brow that needed assistance. Nevertheless I did what I could do in  a short amount of time and she turned out beautiful. I used all MAC on her because that was her request and utilized the silver pigment from the Surf Baby line. In hindsight I would've done something a little more subdued for my sis since I feel like she doesn't do makeup so I don't feel like she carried it in terms of posing but hey it still worked. She is the lady in red.  I also took pictures of "standout" dresses. My personal feeling is that I feel most of the ladies either tried to hard or didn't try at all. I liked "most" of the dresses but felt like it was normal club wear. Nothing stood out to me. My favorite other than my sister was the young girl in the golden dress though I would've made it just a tad bit longer and the cups on the breast more constructed she was one dip away from falling out which is because she wore no support nor did the dress have built in. Then there was the wedding dress... I didn't like it. And the zebra print was a good attempt but I drowned in the ruffles uggh when you're a thick girl ruffles are not your friend. Then there was the young lady whom tried to bring lingerie to the prom failed attempt at sexy. I hated the makeup I hated the dress but what hurt more was that she wore black undergarments and how do I know well because I saw it right through the dress patterns and all. One day they might look back and see the errors of their ways I hope lol.

Hauling that MAC

Hello Beautiful People,

                  Oops I did it again! Originally I went into MAC to purchase just an empty palette to put my extra colors that I had depot-ted but then I made a sad mistake of "browsing" who told me to browse?Who told me to swatch?  Welp like the beauty addict that I am I left with a whole haul worth of stuff check them out below.

The whole kit and caboodle :)

 

Trying out the MAC Opulash

The Mineralize Shadow Duos ( I'm addicted to these things)

Left to right: Pretty & Prim, Safe & Wisdom and Thunder & Rain

Surf, Baby collection Skinsheen Bronzer Stick in Gilty Bronze

It blends well and gives a healthy glow on my skin as if the Sun just kissed me :)

Me and my addiction to crayons has turned into having all the shadows of the rainbow. Also from the Surf, Baby collection  (left to right) Swell Baby, Surf Baby, Sun Blonde and Saffron

This just with one swipe the colors are nicely pigmented and great for building color on. Great for beginners and light makeup users

And then there were.... This fabulous pigment set that I decided on because it was just made me so sick like the sea. The sparkle and even better when on they give the illusion of foiled eyeshadow would look like.  (click the link for a how to)
This set is called Surf the Ocean (left to right) Aquamarine, Titanium, Bronze and Graphite

And then I messed around and said oh let me check out some other shadows. What was I thinking I never leave without a full palette. Dang it MAC Dang You!!!! (other four slots for eye shadows I de-potted that was waiting for a home) If you're interested in the name of the colors left me know I'll update with the colors soon.
