Playing with Puppies

I was in the mood to use some of my buxom pups this week. The green look I did was inspired by Mally's makeup--she was on QVC this past weekend and she was wearing this awesome green look. I like her look better than what I came up with.

Bare Escentuals: Sweet Smile Charity Colour

Sweet Smile is the new charity colour from Bare Escentuals. It will be out in March. I ordered it during the preview a few weeks ago.

Sweet smile is a light to mid-tone slightly purple gray with a slight sheen and bright purple sparkles. On my skin tone it is very light, almost nude. It is much lighter than I thought it would be. I think on some skin tones you could use this as an all over colour. It has a slightly dark base so you might be able to use it in the crease with a very pale pink or white for a pin up kind of look. I love the puple sparkles.

It was sort of difficult to get a good swatch because it is close to my skin tone. I swatched it next to champagne because people were comparing the two. I like sweet smile much better than champagne.

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
Chic Nude under brow,
Sweet Smile foiled lash to crease,
Magnifique in crease and outer 1/3ish and along lower lash line,
Caviar wet lined on top,
Rimmel mascara.


CHEEKS: vivacious blush
LIPS: Aveda Foxglove lip liner with Energy Drink gloss over it

Snow Day and a few new things coming out

I was looking around Sephora.com because someone posted on BEA that the new Buxom pups are now available. You can get them here. From what I understand they are not in stores yet. I would love to see swatches but I think I want them all. I wish I had a Sephora near by so I could check them out. While I was looking around I noticed the Kat Von D is comming out with pigments--this should be interesting! See them here. They are not in stock yet but if anyone does get a look at them I would love to know what they are like. I wonder if they will be more or less like MAC pigments.

My friend Allison also started a make up blog yesterday so check it out! She will be posting looks and reviews and nail polish.

One of the inspiration themes this week on Majyk is "Blizzard" so that was what inspired this look. Although most of what you notice when everything is covered in snow is the intense whiteness, the white also creates a contrast between everything covered in snow and the dark trees. The snow also makes me notice the subtle golds and pinks in the sky more and sometimes in the morning or evening the snow has a slight blue cast.
And on a completely unrelated note I was in a coffee shop a few Fridays ago and Guns N' Roses Patience came on the radio and now I can't get it out of my head...dang. So I was listening to Guns N Roses greatest hits while doing this look--hopefully I don't look too sad.

EYES:

Primetime for eyes,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radaince all over,
Moonstruck lash to brow,
Gold Gossamer in crease,

Deep Space Eyes

DH and I have been watching alot of Star Trek lately. So I asked him what colours I could use to do a Star Trek inspired look and he thought that balck with something sparkly on top would be like the sky with stars. That is basically what I did for this look. I used one of my favorite liners, Caviar, as a shadow and patted a little 2000 over it.
I think I might do a few more Star Trek looks that are based on the colours of space anomalies and stuff like that. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

EYES:
TFSI, wr/cr,
Spellbound under brow,
Caviar lash to crease dry then foiled near the lash line and blend up,
2000 patted lash to crease on inner 2/3ish,
Caviar along the lower lash line,
Big & Bright eye liner pencil along upper and lower waterline,
Rimmel Volume Express Blackest Black mascara.

CHEEKS: Irresistible Blush, again.
LIPS: Las Vegas with Strawberry Shortcake gloss over it.
