Hey Glossies, Recently, I went to the first holiday party of the season. It was fun times with fabulous friends!! I planned to do a smoky look with my newly-acquired NARS Night Breed, but I decided to use the L’Oreal HiP Duo in Electrified. Electrified duo = plum-infused silverish-taupe and metallic plum. I love this […] Read more…
Hip Duo
Perked Up
As summer winds down, I am still clinging to my the bright summery colors… So I finally played with the L’Oreal HiP Duo (Matte) in Perky. The colors are a mid-tone green (similar to MAC Wondergrass) and slate blue (maybe charcoal). You know the Matte and I do not get along as a lid color, […] Read more…
Making Mischief
More L’Oreal HiP Duos. One of the e/s I picked up at the Ulta BOGO Free sale (Still going on @ Ulta) was Mischief, a champagne gold shimmer and smokey grey/black matte. (There seems to be debate on the dark color). I find this duo to be quite blendable and pigmented. The champagne gold has […] Read more…
Sassy and Showy
Recently, a family friend asked for drugstore brand eye shadow recommendations. She wanted to a teal or turquoise look for a wedding she will be attending in mid-summer. I instructed her to check out the L’Oreal HiP Duos in Sassy and Showy. I love the teal shimmery side of Showy and the greyish-taupe side of […] Read more…
Pretty in Pink
I have been eying Too Faced Beauty Mark for awhile. The duo is part “Black Foil” and “Gilded Rose”. The “rose” side is a soft neutral color that could work well for day and night and is similar to MAC’s Expensive Pink. The color payoff is less gold on me than Expensive Pink.*I just love […] Read more…

NARS Cosmetics had a promotion right before Christmas, if customer spent $60, said customer would receive one of four NARS eyeshadow duos. Since, I was eying some blushes, I decided to pick up a few and a nail polish (the best nail […] Read more…

Letting My Soul Glo FOTD
Tan pigment sat in my makeup case waiting to be used. The blaring shrill of the Tan Pigment called me out on Friday and I had to answer the call. 🙂 I used the color a few months back and I loved it, so I decided to use it again for a neutral church look. […] Read more…
Not Easy Being Green
But it is easy to wear green. I love wearing green eye shadow. I love shades of olive and emerald greens. I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF COLOR. What some fail to realize that green is a neutral color. When starting out use a color on the lid, place browns and/or […] Read more…
