Purple and Coral Pink look + Glitter liner using Aromaleigh

Today I wanted to do a fun girly look using Aromaleigh's Valentine 2009 collection. The pictures with flash show the colours more true to what they really look like (if you have any of these colours, you'll see what I mean). Except it makes my skin tone look darker than it really is. Haven't figured out if there's a camera setting to fix this or not. Here is the look:

Golden Pink Glitter look using MAC

The mineral makeup Gods will be displeased! I don't think I have ever done an all MAC eyeshadow look. I do have several MAC samples, but I rarely use them because I prefer mineral makeup. So I figured I'd go ahead and use them today.

HELP PLEASE! I'm planning on doing a blog give away/contest type thing soon, to show my appreciation to all of you. I've never done one before and I have never participated in one, so I don't really know what I'm doing. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please feel free to let me know. I already know what I would like to give away (trust me it's good stuff!), I just need to know how to go about doing it. :-)


Hope you all are having a beautiful weekend.

Green, Teal, Blue and Dark Blue Glitter look with Morgana Minerals

Ha! I totally forgot to put mascara on my lower lashes. Oh well! Had tons of glitter fallout with this look. It...was...everywhere! For some reason it migrated around my nose/upper lip area so I looked like I have dirt on my mouth. Took a while to get off too (still have some random specks though). This is so much more sparkly in person. I really wish it showed up in these pictures.

Blog ate my comments!

I don't know what the deal is but I was moderating my comments and clicked publish for all comments (there were 46 for various posts). I got a Google error and on 2 particular posts, none of the comments appeared and I can't seem to do anything about it. Has anyone else had this problem? This is the first for me and I guess they are just gone. WTF? At first I thought I accidentally clicked reject, but some comments for other posts were published so I know it's just these two:

Silver, Blue and Green look using Victoria's Revenge by Aromaleigh

Simple Neutral Glitter look using Aromaleigh 

OH well. :-(

So sorry the comments are gone and I don't know what you said on there. Hopefully this doesn't happen again. So annoying. If you wouldn't mind posting a comment on these two so I can see if I can publish them, I would really appreciate it.

Meh!


Update:
OK, so Jonna posted a comment on one, I published it and it made the other comments appear. So I commented myself, on the other one and that made the comments appear for that one too. Still WEIRD.

Just goes to show how evil blogger is. Anyway...gotta get back to work.

Teal and Purple look using Stars Makeup Haven

I went for a more dramatic look today. I used less natural looking faux lashes, did a cut crease and wore a bright lippy. :-)  These looks are always the most fun for me to do. But they usually tend to get me weird stares when I have to go run errands. Heh heh!
