Plain neutral makeup today



My bf made it into the picture, and I didn't know until I uploaded it to the computer. It's like Where's Waldo, except he's not cool enough to wear Waldo's sexy red and white striped shirt.

When my hair lacks volume I compensate with large hair thingies. My makeup is blah here, but I like my enormous flower.

Outfit (went to a wedding)

Just noticed I hit 500 followers. Thank you to all of you who follow/read/comment! I really do appreciate it :). I haven't been able to read or comment on a lot of blogs this week because I've only been spending a few minutes at a time on the computer, but I will get caught up tomorrow or so. And thanks to those of you who have tagged me...I haven't forgot, and I will get to it :).

People were dressed pretty casually so I ended up looking extremely overdressed. I'd much rather be overdressed than underdressed though so I didn't mind. I overslept and didn't have much time to fix myself up so no fancy makeup :(.

I don't have massive hips, it's the ruffles/tiers of my skirt adding bulk :P. It's lace, and I should have got a better pic because I really like it.


Sitting in the church bathroom

My makeup today...
NYC mineral veil
TheBalm Hot Mama

L'oreal de-crease
Peachy Pink shadow from 98 palette
Revlon Colorstay liner
Red Cherry #218 falsies

Mac Speed Dial lipstick
Mac Nymphette lipglass

Reddish Neutral?

I wasn't sure what to call it...it's not quite red, but not burgundy. Wine maybe? I know it just looks neutral in the photos, but the red shows up more in person. This is my 5th day in a row without a curling iron or flat iron...I think that's a long enough break :D.





I'm wearing
Urban Decay Surreal Skin mineral powder
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
L'oreal HIP duos in Flare(just the lighter shade) and Cheeky
Mac Carbon as liner
Ardell falsies(demi-luvies)

NYX Round Lipstick in Frappucino
Mac Viva Glam V lipglass

Winged Liner

I wanted to see if I could get away with not wearing anything on the lower lashline...I winged my liner and make it a tiny bit thicker than usual to compensate for not wearing any makeup under my eyes.





I'm wearing
Urban Decay Surreal Skin mineral powder
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
Urban Decay Underground
the dark brown and the black(used as liner) from the Kat Von D Beethoven palette
Ardell falsies (demi-luvies)

Mac Lovelorn lipstick
Urban Decay Pocket Rocket gloss-James
_________________________________
I braided a section of my hair and pinned it on the other side to make it look headbandish. I only like my hair curled, but I'm forcing myself to heat style less so I braided it again last night...made the braid loose so that it would only be a little wavy.

Neutrals

I went camping this weekend...it was fun even though I'm not an outdoor person at all. I was the helpless moron that didn't know how to build a fire or anything like that :D. I took a pic of where we camped.

And today's makeup...lately I've been sticking to neutrals whenever I feel too lazy to do something nice.




I'm wearing
Physicians Formula translucent mineral powder
CG blush in Pretty Peach

L'oreal de-crease
Kat Von D Beethoven palette- tequila, the brown one, and black to line...I forgot their names
falsies

NYX round l/s in Pumkin Pie

Neutral + New Video

I didn't talk in this one since I expected my sister to be loud...she was right by me when I made it. She ended up being very quiet except for saying "I can't do it" at some point. My hair is every bit as messy as it looks. It's curled from yesterday still... I think it got frizzy when I clipped it up in the shower because I take super hot showers.

I found an old bottle of Coppertone Spray tanner. It worked quite well, but the sprayer is crappy. I might go buy more though because I like the result. I used to use tanner on top of laying out in the sun, but now that I actually worry about sun damage I can see how well these work on their own.




I'm using
Boots Botanics Tinted Moisturizer
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
88 palette browns and white
Revlon Colorstay liner
falsies

Mac Politely Pink l/s

Dark Brown

I'm wearing
Everyday Minerals Pick Me Up Pink
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
88 palette-light brown, dark brown, black
Milani Autumn Earth quad-just the highlight color
Revlon Colorstay liner
falsies

Mac Blankety l/s
Lancome Juicy Tubes in Hallucination

Bottle tan

I was excited when I found a leftover can of my L'oreal self tanner since I still haven't bought a new one. Not much interesting going on as far as my makeup though. Just Mac's Satin Taupe with a little black in the crease.




I'm using
Physician's Formula bronzer
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
Mac Satin Taupe e/s, 88 palette black, Milani highlight under brow
Revlon Colorstay liner
falsies

Revlon matte l/s in Nude Attitude
Mac Prrr lipglass

Blah Brown, Peach Lips

Last night I tried vodka w/ skittles for the first time. We were impatient and didn't bother running it through a strainer. We only took shots of it so it wasn't that great, but I think it would be decent mixed.
Anyways...

Hair still full of clips when I took it obviously




On my face:
Physician's Formula powder
TheBalm Hot Mama

L'oreal de-crease primer
88 palette browns and one of the light colors as highlight
Revlon Colorstay liner
Ardell lashes

NYX Indian Pink round l/s
Chanel Glossimer in Twinkle

Rare Occasion

No falsies today...I haven't been wearing eyeshadow the past few days which is why I haven't posted. Obviously I'm not wearing any today either, but I felt like posting. I thought I'd skip the falsies for a day just for kicks...I kinda feel like I'm nekkid :P.

Pictures taken without flash in my room come out yellowish

Very uninteresting look, but I'll list the stuff anyway
Physicians Formula translucent mineral powder
theBalm Hot Mama

Revlon Colorstay in black on upper lashline
Random brown pencil with brand name rubbed off on lower lashline
Lancome Hypnose

Lancome Color Fever gloss in Summer Nights

Off to finish getting ready for a night of cheap vodka and wine...and stories and profound discoveries that are only profound after a few drinks.

Failed contest attempt :(

I was going to re-create a neutral look from Jessica Alba for Rai's contest(celeb inspired neutral or smokey look). My pictures never come out right at night. My lighting is crap so the 3 1/2 gallons of bronzer I'm wearing don't look right, my blush isn't showing up , blah blah etc. I'm gonna have to try again in the daytime so that I can use natural lighting. I complain a lot about my pictures...maybe it's time to look at new cameras. Oh well, I can do a much better job on the eye makeup anyway...this is a bit messy.

Natural

Thought I'd post even though my makeup is minimal since most of my looks involve lots of eyeshadow.




I'm wearing

Physicians Formula translucent mineral powder
TheBalm Hot Mama

Dior shimmer powder in Amber Diamond on the inner corners of my eyes
Revlon Colorstay liner
Falsies from ebay-I forget the brand

Mac Cremesheen l/s in Speed Dial

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 Star Violet e/s
