I was up in the air on the Siren liner.  I think it will work better with paler colors on the lid than this, but I still liked this look!

LOTD: Urban Decay Sustainable Look.....

Here's a look I did earlier today with my new stuff from Ulta.  LOVED how it turned out!  There's something to be said for loose mineral shadows, but sometimes the convenience of a pressed shadow, especially in a palette, is just better.  These are just as bright, shimmery and pigmented as my minerals and I think I've found some winners!

All of those were inside with flash.  The following is outside.  I couldn't get the closed eye one to turn out.

Eyes:

UDPP in Original all over eye area
Indelible cream shadow in Bare Necessity on browbone
Indelible cream shadow in Carbon on lid
UD Kiddie Pool in inner 1/2 of lid
UD Flipside in outer 1/2 of lid

UD Flash in crease above and blended into Oil Slick
Too Faced Metal Eyed liner in Blackout on upper lashline
Maybelline black liner in lower lashline

At first I though I had put WAYYYY too much foundation on.  But it blended out fine.  I'm definitely planning on a full size of the Sheer Glow in Fiji very soon!

Well, off to relax, see you tomorrow hopefully!!!

Catching up....this weeks first look...Tuesdays look with Nars....

I totally forgot to take pics of Monday's look.  Oh well....I have the rest of the week as well as a couple hauls and I'm planning on doing a look once my deep treatment is done on my hair.  :D  I took out the teal....got bored to tears of it....right now it's just a nice blonde shade in my bang area.  I may decide to do a funky color again soon, but for now I like it how it is.  Blonde is so totally not usually what I would do!

This was from Tuesday.

Eyes:

Smashbox Photo Finish Eye Primer
ELF Cream Shadow in Eggplant on lid (purple)
ELF Cream Liner in Ivory on lid
NARS Eurydice Black on lid
NARS Euryice Purple in crease and dry over lower liner
NARS Abyssinia on browbone
Shiseido Petal Trio Dark Purple in crease
Wet N Wild Cream liner in Black
ELF Mineral Infused Mascara in Black

Face:

ELF mineral primer
ELF Under Eye Concealer
NARS Barcelona Powder Foundation
NARS Orgasm Blush

Lips:

NARS Catfight Lipstick
NARS Stolen Kisses Gloss

I'm falling in love with NARS Products.  My only thing is the price of them means that I'll be getting my collection going SLOWLY.  Price Points mean a big deal for me, but I'm still willing to pay for quality.  Especially if it's gluten free.

I LOVE Catfight, it's a favorite of mine!  Does anyone else have it?  What do you think of it?

Catching up....Wednesday's look

I'm trying to get caught up on my posts.  I have a few looks as well as a few haul posts.  Here's Wednesday's look.  It felt like a NARS day to me, so I broke out my NARS stuff for this look.

Eyes:

Smashbox photo finish eye primer

ELF Cream eyeliner in ivory as a base

NARS Eurydice purple color on lid patted over silk naturals stick 'em

NARS Abyssinia on browbone

NARS Tropic in crease and dry over lower liner

Wet N Wild Black cream liner upper and lower lashline

NARS Eurydice black in outer crease and over lower liner

Maybelline Great Lash Big in Blackest Black

Face:

Smashbox photo finish light

NARS Powder foundation in Barcelona

ELF Complexion Perfection

NARS Orgasm Blush

Lips:

NARS Dolce Vita lipstick

NARS Belize lip gloss

I'm finding the Eurydice purple and the Tropic to be a little difficult to work with; both have glittery reflects in them that I have a hard time getting to show up in looks.  It's gotten a little easier though; I just think I have to tweak it some more.  

I found the Wet N Wild Cream liner to be VERY easy to use.  For the first time I was able to use a liquid/cream based liner on the lower lashline without feeling awkward or unsteady, and it didn't bother my eyes at all.  It's a wonderful formula!

LOTD: Lots of Silver Tinsel....

Here was today's look.  I did gold yesterday, today it was silver.  :D

Eyes:

Smashbox Photo Finish Eyeshadow Primer
Indelible cream shadow in marcasite on lid
Indelible cream shadow in bare necessity on browbone
AL Air and Light on browbone
Morgana Tinsel me on lid and dry over lower liner
AL Tangled Tinsel in crease
Smashbox black pencil liner
Maybelline great lash big mascara in blackest black

Face:

Monistat Chafing Gel as a primer
Larenim Mineral Silk powder
Mix of equal parts Meow Pamperred Puss foundation in Naughty/Frisky Abyssinian
Larenim Mineral Silk Powder
Meow Hissy Fit Blush

Lips:

Shiseido Shimmering Rouge in BE 702 Alabaster
NARS Gloss in Striptease

Alright, I have a few observations from today.

1.  I think the Larenim Mineral Silk bothered my skin
2.  Monistat makes an AWESOME primer!  So far so good.  It blurred my pores better than any of the others and kept me pretty matte all day!  I'm still going to continue to test it though.  :D
3.  I can tell a difference in the color from yesterday's too light AL 2YL and today's just right Meow Pamperred puss mix of Naughty/frisky abyssinian.  It's faint, but it's there.

A quick look from yesterday and a foundation comparison on my skin

So yesterday was my oldest DD's birthday party (she turned 14 on Monday) and I decided to compare my two at the moment favorite mineral foundations on my skin for coverage, finish, oil control, and feel.  So here's what I did:

Please excuse the closed eye pic, I took a bunch and it's the best one even though it's blurry.

Eyes:

Smashbox photo finish eye primer
Indelible cream shadow in curacao on lid
Indelible cream shadow in Bare Necessity on browbone
AL Sylph on browbone
AL Celeste on lid
Mad minerals in drama queen on browbone
Smashbox liquid liner in black

Face:

Smashbox photo finish light primer
BM Mineral Veil
Foundations:  On the left is Meow Pamperred mix of Naughty/Frisky Abyssinian and on the Right is BE Matte in Golden Fair/Medium. 
BM Mineral Veil

Face Cont.:
Unknown Mineral powder (the label fell off LOL) in Passion on cheeks and mixed with Burts Bees Gloss on lips.  I know it's safe for this; I used to wear it that way all the time.  I'm fairly certain it's a Barefaced Minerals powder, but I'm not for sure.  HAHAHA

OK so in comparison:  I like the coverage of the Bare Minerals a little better, as well as for oil control.  However, it feels drier on my skin and it doesn't blur my pores like the Meow does.  They're pretty much the same color; I couldn't tell a difference in color on my face!

Oh, and so you can see, I pulled my hair back into a hair piece and held it in place with an acrylic hair fork.

You can see the fork peeking out the top right.  It matches pretty well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY OLDEST FROM MONDAY TOO!!!!!  UGH....2 years till driving! 

Monday's LOTD....I have NO IDEA what to call it....Purple haze????

This was Monday's look this week.  I loved how it turned out!!!

Indelible cream shadow in Bare Necessity on browbone
Indelible cream shadow in Marcasite on lid
Hi Fi shadow in Phantom Stranger on browbone
Hi Fi Shadow in Dark Carnival on lid
Smashbox liquid liner in black to line
Hi Fi Shadow in omen in crease and dry over lower liner
Smashbox hyperlash mascara in black

Face:
Hourglass Mineral Primer
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Bare Minerals Matte in Golden fair/Golden Med
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Meow Lost Rainforest Siren as blush

Lips:

Smashbox The Nude Lip pencil in Light
Shiseido lipstick in BR702 Almond Pink
Nars lipgloss in Belize 

I'm REALLY loving Nars and Shiseido's lippies!  They're divine, and don't feel overly heavy.  However, they're both fairly expensive.  I'm planning on an order from Silk Naturals that I'm very excited about, and it will be full of their lippies to try!  I'm sure I'll continue to add to my Nars and Shiseido lippies as well, since I'm basically starting over where lippies are concerned.  Lippies are one of the most important things to watch when you're gluten free as you ingest them.
