Orange, Pink and Purple look using Morgana Minerals

 This look was from yesterday. It has been very warm and beautiful here lately so I wanted to wear something bright and summery.  I ordered a few new hair flowers for summer that arrived on Friday. I just love wearing flowers in my hair. But all I mostly have are red roses/flowers or cream/white coloured. I wanted to get more colours to wear with anything. I parted my hair on the left side and made a messy bun right behind my right ear then added a flower. I'm wearing a dark purple/fuschia silk orchid. It's so pretty and almost looks real.

All pics are done in natural light. I didn't have time to do close-ups because I had to take off to run errands. If you click on the pics, you can click again to enlarge them for better detail. 

On eyebrow looks bigger than the other...hee hee! 

 my temples are veiny!

Soft Purple and Blue look using Victoria's Revenge by Aromaleigh

While I really do like this look, there are a few annoying things I did that I'm not too happy about. I filled in my eyebrows a bit more than usual and they look really intense to me. But I'm sure I'm the only one that notices. I also used too much highlighter under my brow and it looks too frosty. The pics with flash made it look really bad so you just get natural lighting pics today. Another thing is I over blended one eye. So you can tell one eye is darker than the other. None of these things are particularly horrible and don't really ruin the look. Like I said, it's annoying but these things happen. We all have something like this from time to time so I'm just not worried about. The learning process never stops in my opinion, and we always learn different ways of doing things to get the right look. I just need to go back to using a matte fleshy colour shadow for my brow bone and use less Pixie Epoxy in that area. :-)
I can say I'm getting much better at applying my fake lashes too. Took me a few seconds today, no issues and I can't even feel them. Woot!

Smokey Olive look using Victoria's Revenge by Aromaleigh

Here is my first look using shadows from the Victoria's Revenge collection. The greens turned out very olive on me, which I'm fine with.  At first I thought I would hate this look, but it turned out really nice, I think. :-)  The sun decided to hide away from me so all pictures are taken with flash.

See anything you like? As I said, I really think these are all so pretty and worth getting. The names are really dark and dreamy to me, which adds to the appeal.

Victoria's Revenge is now available! Samples are $1 each and a full jar is $8.

 I received these samples for review purposes.

Simple Purple look using Stars Makeup Haven

I have two looks from the weekend. One is super simple (green that I wore to run errands), the other is purple and I wore it to my hour and a half bellydance class, followed with hiking in the mountains for over an hour. Yeah my butt is sore! So I didn't want to wear an overly dramatic look that would melt from sweating and get into my eyes.  I didn't wear false lashes this time and just wore one coat of mascara. In the eye pic with open eyes, you can tell that my left eyelashes in the center, are shorter than my right. :-(  Trying to grow them back out. I think most people wouldn't notice, but I do just because I look at them very closely every day. Anyway! Onto the makeup! Here's the purple look. I think I look weird without winged liner...

Here's the other REALLY simple look. I'm just wearing SMH Fresh as eyeliner. It's a bright green with sort of yellow/gold sheen. I've worn this as a liner many times but I normally don't take pictures of it. I love it though. :-) I'm not wearing much otherwise. Just Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder in Translucent Light and Avon BEYOND COLOR Plumping Lip Color SPF 15 in Frosted Beige.

Hope you all had a great weekend. Now back to the slave pit! :-)

Smokey Purple and Teal look using Fyrinnae

Jeez it's about time I used Fyrinnae again. I feel like I forgot about them or something. How is that possible?! Oh yeah, and I found my Azalea Blue lipstick...it was on my dresser buried under a pile of new colourful tights I got recently. I could have sworn I lost it but I'm glad it was just misplaced. :-)

Here's my look for the day. This certainly is NOT boring to me like the previous purple and teal look I did.
I almost look balled. It was super windy today so I wore my hair in a tight bun. Dang I have a HUGE forehead...
