My right eye is so blood shot. It was like that when I woke up...from allergies I suppose. Damn you Claritin, you're useless. I didn't even bother to brush my hair while I blow dried. I'm too tired and lazy today.
I'm using
Boot's Botanics Tinted Moisturizer
TheBalm Hot Mama
L'oreal De-crease and HIP black cream liner
88 palette-white, black, yellow, orange, hot pink
Red Cherry lashes
MAC Lovelorn l/s and Like Venus dazzleglass

Blue fotd
Crappy quality picture, but do you think this skirt is too short for me? I love tiered ruffley anything, and since it's floral I thought it would be cute for spring. I'm 5'8" though so minis tend to be pretty short on me.
Here's an eye from yesterday...I did blue and white. I had to crop because I didn't have a chance to take a decent pic since someone showed up at my house. When I took this one my hair still looked Einstein-ish.
Anyway, on to today's makeup...similar but I added black in the outer v
I'm using
Urban Decay Surreal Skin mineral powder
MAC Sunbasque and something shimmery over it...I don't remember what though
L'oreal de-crease and HIP black cream liner
88 palette 2 blues and the black
MAC Dazzlelight
Red Cherry lashes
MAC Politely Pink l/s and Oyster Girl lipglass

Purple fotd, and please vote for me(only if you like my entry of course :P)
Whit from whitzmakeuptipz has a poll to choose one of the winners for her Spice Girls contest, and I'd appreciate any votes I get if you liked mine :).
I know it's hard to see in my photos, but after going back to my UD mineral powder today I realized that I like it much more than Everyday Minerals. In person this looks much more natural. I apply very little so I thought it was weird that the Everyday Minerals looked so obvious sometimes (to me at least).
And a question...my hair color in my photos looks very gold/bright orange. I already put the macro setting on when I take fotds because if I don't my photos are so bright my nose disappears. Is there some kind of setting I can use to fix this? I've tried putting scotch tape over the flash to tone it down, but I usually end up with dark reddish photos when I do that. When I don't use flash they're too blurry...changing the ISO helped a little but they still looked like crap. I don't want to buy a new camera just because my hair color isn't photogenic.
I used:
Urban Decay Surreal Skin mineral powder
TheBalm Hot Mama
L'oreal de-crease
two purples from 88 palette
MAC Dazzlelight
L'oreal HIP black cream liner
Red Cherry lashes
MAC Cremesheen l/s in Creme Cup
MAC lipglass in Underage

Kinda boring fotd
I wasn't going to post this after looking at the pictures because it's a bit of a blah look, but I figured there's no harm in posting it anyway :). I finally ordered an 88 palette from Coastal Scents this week, and it came in today. My sister's face lit up when I opened it to show her. She said "Ooh! Lotsa makeup" then asked me to give her a brush.
She wanted me to take a picture of her doing the splits.
I used:
Everyday Minerals in the semi matte formula
Dior Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond just down my nose
Milani Luminous blush
NYX Yogurt Jumbo Pencil
MAC Vanilla Pigment
MAC Star Violet e/s
L'oreal HIP black cream liner
Red Cherry lashes
MAC Cremesheen l/s in Creme Cup
A light peach Smashbox l/g the sticker came off so I don't know the name

The first pic was before I got dressed and took my hair down. I have to wear it up when I do my makeup because it always gets in the way. I also had on Florabundance l/g but switched to something more pink. I think the photo is orangey because I was right by my lamp when I took it.

This is my entry for whitzmakeuptipz contest. I am Tacky Spice :P. Bratz dolls were my inspiration...ya know, big hair, loud eye makeup and lips, then loud clothing all at the same time :D. I wasn't exactly trying to look like a Bratz doll; I just drew inspiration from their tacky awesomeness.
It would be impossible to look like one anyway since I do have a nose.

Easy gray and black FOTD
Last night I decided I wanted pastel nails of some sort after seeing several bloggers with mint/light blue/lilac nails. I usually only wear reds and pinks on my nails and I couldn't get to a store because my bf needs a new tire. I found a bottle of navy polish and out of desperation mixed a couple drops with white :P.
Anyway, my makeup for today.
I guess this is the view you'd get if you happen to be 7 feet tall...and you can see my nail polish
I used:
Everyday Minerals matte formula
TheBalm Hot Mama
L'oreal de-crease
MAC Silver Ring, Carbon, and Dazzlelight e/s
L'oreal HIP black cream liner
Red Cherry lashes
MAC Lovelorn l/s
Smashbox gloss in Stunning
