Neutral Eye w/a Pop of Color - With 2 Lip Options

Pardon my lack of false lashes, I hope to remedy that eventually. Anyhoo, I thought I’d do a neutral eye look with just a pop of color along the lower lashline. Hope you like it! :) For a full list of products used, see below the video.

Haul 2-25-09

My Wal-Mart, Claire's, & Burke's Outlet haul.

FOTD: RetroGlam

Eyes: Lt. beige shimmer all over lid w/taupey-brown in the crease from Wet n Wild's Ultimate Expressions Eye Palette. N.Y.C.'s Smooth Mineral Liner Powder in Black Onyx w/Maybelline's liner brush to create a "cat-eye" liner along w/some LashStiletto mascara.

Cargo PlantLove

This April Cargo will be releasing a collection of "eco-chic" cosmetics. The brand promises 100% natural cosmetics that is also good for our planet, plus it is "the only prestige brand of make-up to have been granted the ECOCERT® seal of approval."

Every item in the collection is free from parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic dyes and fragrances (Good for people like me w/sensitivities). The collection's lipstick cases and compacts are made of a polymer completely derived from corn (Good for the environment).

All serious info aside, what do you guys think of this collection? I think the lipsticks look gorgeous & I'm really loving the groovy packaging! So, based on apearances, what do you think so far? Love it? Hate it? So so? Tell me!

FOTD: EZ Smokey

Yup, yet another FOTD, lol! Simple w/smudged liner & shadow. See the application process on YouTube.

FOTDs Album

Here's an album of some of my better FOTDs. Of course, I still have a looong way to go. Let me know what you all think.

FOTD: e.l.f. Drama

I grabbed this screenshot from a frame in my e.l.f. Drama YouTube video, which explains the odd epression on my face. Lol!

For my eyes I used the elf Drama eyeshadow quad. On my lips I used N.Y.C. lipstick in Cafe w/N.Y.C. Liquid Lipshine in Cappucino in the center pout.

FOTD: Shades of Pink

Eyes: An eye look w/different Tints & Shades of Pink eyeshadow from a Diamond Cosmetics palette.
Lips: N.Y.C. Liquid Lipshine in Iced Orchid (Pink w/a subtle golden shimmer, very pretty!).

To see the application process for this look, check out my YouTube video.

FOTD: Pewter Smokey

The 3 colors on my lids: a pewter gray color from a claire's palette (foiled), NYX black pearl eyeshadow (outer corner & crease), N.Y.C. Mineral Liner Powder in Black Onyx (as a liner & to add some extra oomph to the outer corner & crease).

On my lips: N.Y.C. Liquid Lipshine in Cappuccino.

FOTD: Purple Passion

For this look I used SallyGirl eyeshadow in Purple Passion (foiled), The 2 darkest colors in Maybelline eyeshadow quad Violet Vibes, & N.Y.C. mineral liner powder for my lashline. Then, on my lips I used N.Y.C. Liquid Lipshine in Pink Kiss. Of course, I'm inexperienced & have much to learn, but I just like to have fun!

FOTD: Turquoise Beckoning

I'm still very inexperienced, but here's my blue & turquoise look. The muted blue is L'Oreal H.I.P. in Beckoning & the Vibrant Turquoise is SallyGirl eyeshadow in Turquoise (I believe this can be bought @ any Sally's Beauty Supply), the lipgloss is L'Oreal H.I.P. ShineStruck Liquid Lipcolor in Splendid. Hope you like!
