Simply Simple

When my alarm went off at 9:55 PM, I really didn't want to get out of bed. I reset it for 10:05. I really need to leave the house by 10:20, but usually it's at least 10:25. It's a good thing work doesn't seem to mind be being late. (My shift is 11:00 PM - 7:30 AM; so if I'm "late" I just work over the few minutes.)

I threw on some jeans and a taupe shirt and really wanted to do a neutral look. Sadly, that look I did Sunday night! I settled on something a bit more less dramatic, if you could call Sunday's look, that. Mushroom from BoS Vol. II would have been perfect! Oh well, I do like how simple this came out.

Loaded with Money

I sure wish I was... sometimes. I sure hope I'd eventually have makeup overload, though! I must say I feel guilt when organizing all my pretties to find some haven't even been used ONCE! I just don't have enough eyes! Haha. Anyways, here's today Book of Shadows III Look.

I must say, much like the Naked Palette, this one lacks some Brow Bone color(s). It's a little more okay with this palette, since I feel the Naked Palette is to be a bit more "all in one" than this one. I don't feel like the Book of Shadows are realistic to travel with.

Rockstar Love

I had originally thought about using Pinks, however, after applying Bordello, I was immediately drawn to Rockstar. This color is half the reason I caved and bought the palette!

Very QUICK BoS Vol. III Look

So, I did it... barely! When I woke up, I really didn't feel like putting on eyeshadow. I'm back on nights (11pm - 7:30am) and since I really don't see anyone until they start arriving in the morning, for months now, I haven't really put any effort into my makeup. However, I really wanted to come through for you guys, and went for a very neutral look. It was quick, easy and I'm fairy impressed with my choice(s).

One tip when using Urban Decay (or possibly any other brand) SUPER glittery shadows: dip your brush in, as you normally would, but make sure to tap it off VERY well. With a good brush (I use mostly MAC) the color will stay but the majority of the glitter will fall off. A bit of glitter is fine, but on your cheeks, it's not intended for!

Gray Naked

Another look with my Naked Palette. I really like this before leaving the house, but as the day went on, I wasn't to keen on it. I'm thinking if I had used Black liner on my Top Lash Line, it might have looked better.

10.3.09 - A Bachlorette Party

Miss Sarah's getting MARRIED!!!! T minus 1 week!!!

It was a rather relaxed night, which was just fine with me. :o) I was up too early... 5 AM, due to the fact that I had went to bed at 10. It didn't help that hubby was getting up to go bow hunting very soon thereafter, so I just decided to stay up. I relaxed, watched some TV... painted my nails (Ki by Zoya, no pics though) and eventually got ready.

I wanted to try out my new MAC Greasepaint Stick & MES Shadow, so that's what I opted for. :o)

9.19.09 - CoverGirl LashBlast Volume vs. Length

Which do you think is best?

And just to see if my Left lashes were longer or it was the combo...

Well, it looks like my Left lashes are longer, but I do like the combo of the two mascaras!

9.18.09 - Drug Store Haul

Hubby & I went to Wally World to get some stuff to make White Chicken Chili, for him to take to work, so I browsed the make-up aisles to see if they had the new CoverGirl LashBlast Length. I'd seen it on CVS's website a couple weeks ago, but wasn't going to pay shipping just for it, and last Friday I had seen Wal-Mart set up the area for it, so I knew it was coming soon. Yippie, they had it! I almost picked up CG's Quad in Drama Eyes, but I figured I had some similar shadows. I glanced at the Maybelline area and remembered I'd seen someone on YT talk about their new Smoky Quads, so I picked up Amethyst & Charcoal. Their pigmentation isn't horrible, but could be better. A few of the colors have some similar MAC Dupes (of the ones I own) but it's still nice to have them in one area & they were under $6/ea.

8.25.09 - In the Gallery

I was in a hurry, so blending isn't the best. I'm testing out this new foundation, for my friend's wedding. I look super pale and actually it's a good match. :o( Must be the lighting. I'm testing out the application with different brushes, too. I used the 187 tonight.
