Day-time Glam!

Who made up that rule that you can't have dramatic eyes and lips? I threw that idea out and went full-on glam during the day. Scandalous, I know.

Used:

UDPP in "Sin" (base)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Rocky Mountain Green" (lid)

MAC "Gulf Stream" E/S (lid)

MAC "Climate Blue" E/S (crease)

MAC "Cool Heat" E/S (above crease)

MAC "Ricepaper" E/S (highlight)

MAC "Violet" Pigment (below waterline)

MAC "Rhubarb" Blush

Dramatic eyes and ridiculously big hair

This is one of my "what was I thinking?!?" hair moments. I guess I thought volume = good, but this is just hilariously bad. At least the eyeshadow turned out ok...right? ;)

Stereo Rose LOVE!

After years of waiting and wanting (hah), my boyfriend got me the best birthday gift I could have hoped for...Stereo Rose! I had its re-release date written on my calender, but when the time came, I was so crazy at work that I never got a chance to go. Lucky for me, he pays attentions when I blab about makeup non-stop and was able to grab me one!

I am NC25/30 and this is the perfect blush for me. It makes my cheeks super glowy and rosy! I find that it's really versatile too- apply it lightly for a barely tinted shimmer, or go full-on for a really dramatic gorgeous cheek. FOTD's using Stereo Rose coming up!

Birthday greens!
