L...O...T...D...

Happy Monday everyone! I trust you all are doing well??!! It has been hella crazy with the weather here... Sometimes snow flurries, then the next moment temperatures mimicking a crisp fall day??? What next?!

Anyways, today was a little uneventful. Just work and then some YouTube surfing. However, I was inspired to play with some makeup afterwards...

Wanna see???



















Aren't I adorable? I love this look! I had purchased an eyeshadow trio by the Sally Hansen/Carmindy collaboration line and I thought the shadows were going to be a lot darker than this... however, I actually like the way the blue looks. It's smoky without being overpowering. I paired it with a frosty pink lip gloss and a bright candy-colored blush. When you add these ingredients together, you get an unbelivably innocent look. I could almost get away with anything, no?

Let me tell you what I used:

Face:
NYX blush in Pinky
Nars blush in Orgasm (used for shimmer/highlight)
...surprisingly no foundation or tinted moisturizer!

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Ocean Eye palette
NYC eyeliner in Black/Ebony
Almay One Coat Thickening mascara in Blackest Black
NYC Browser kit in Brunette

Lips:
Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm
NYX Goddess of the Night lip gloss in French Kiss
Lip Smacker Squeezy lip gloss in Pink Lemonade (used for minimal shine)

Some of these products sound as sweet as cotton candy! And before you even ask, yes, I am in my pajamas. I had gotten out of the shower and just went to work on this look... If you noticed, my hair is all curled up too... I was inspired by some of the short hair tutorials people had to offer and tried something new. One of my favorites referenced Selena Gomez's curly up do. I put my own spin on it and here's a closer look at what I came up with...




...from the front...





and the back.



What do you think? It seems to make me look like I have more hair... I dunno. Anyways, I just wanted to take the time to share with you. Hope you liked my look, and thank you for stopping by for a little while!


Kisses! ♥
