Horrible attempt at an EOTD

I tried to do a blue/green/purple look today. Didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. D:

Using these ingredients:



MAC Paint Pot "Soft Ochre"
Fyrinnae "Pixie Epoxy"
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Puffo" (inner corners)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Mela" (lid)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Frutti di Bosco" (outer corners)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Fior di Latte" (highlight)
CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus "Midnight Blue"
MUFE Smoky Lash



On the flip side, I really liked how long my eyelashes looked. Here is the best closeup I could manage with my crap camera-taking skills.

Another purple EOTD.

I know, I'm boring. This is like the 321,212,412,421,546 purple look I've done. Never mind that I haven't actually made that many posts. But I'm having fun with Pixie Epoxy now that I've figured out how to use this very, very awesome product.



I also stopped coloring in my eyebrows because I really have no idea how to do so without making it look super ridiculous. :/

EOTD - Fyrinnae, NYX Purple & Blue



I am not joking when I say that this looks better in pictures than it did in real-life. And if you think it looks bad in pictures...well. Ha! I am not at all used to bright makeup. I use it here and there. It's barely noticeable then. Tonight, I was bored and trying to learn how to use my camera. I STILL don't know how to use it and I also realized that I'm not that great with makeup. Heh. :D

So anyway, this is what happens when you don't coordinate your colors, when you stick your hand in a bag of eye shadows and pluck out the first four colors your fingers land on. You trade 2 because they were too similar to the other two but other than that, there wasn't much thought.

You take this:



Transform this:



Into this!



I tried to do one of those artsy side-views. But it didn't really pan out. D:



I have never washed my face off faster. D:

EOTD - Sassy Minerals Purple & Pink

I really like pink and purple looks because they look the best on me. Plus, I've only started recently experimenting with makeup so I haven't learned all, if any, tricks of the trade.

Sassy Minerals Eye Shadows: Legendary (highlighter), Fake It (inner lid), Vixen (outer lid), Fatal Beauty (crease)



Other Materials: Rimmel "Exaggerate" Waterproof Eye Definer, Rich Defining Eyeliner in white, Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy, Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash, L'Oreal De-Crease Eye Shadow Base, Estee Lauder Eye Liner pen in brown

Tools: Ecotools Smudge brush, Ecotools shade brush, Ecotools highlighter brush



I'm still learning to use my camera so these aren't the greatest pictures. :(

EOTD - Smashbox Eye Shadow Trio "Megapixel"

Long time no post! I've been waiting for my Morgana Minerals haul and they finally came in. I've stopped purchasing mineral makeup for the time being because I've got enough that I need to use and review. Swatches are forthcoming - I promise!

Instead of stealing my friend's camera, I finally purchased my own. For its first debut...I give you my first EOTD ever:



Yes...I do need to pluck/wax my eyebrows. I used:

- L'oreal Decrease Eye Shadow Base
- Fyrinnae "Pixie Epoxy"
- Smashbox Eye Shadow Trio "Megapixel"
- Fyrinnae "In The Spotlight" (highlighter)
- Make Up For Ever Professional Smoky Lash
- Wet N' Wild Mega Eyes Defining Market
- Nabi Eyeliner Pencil in Black



I am still getting used to the camera. At 14 megapixels, you'd think the pictures would be a bit more clearer. :/
