Drugstore eyeshadow look!

I got a wild idea that I'd try a drugstore kind of look! So here it is!! I only used drugstore eyeshadow though... I'm still a fan of my higher end stuff... but ya never know, maybe I'll be converted back over!!
The eyeshadow I used was a L'oreal HIP duo in Precious 819. This is a 'crystal shadow' which means it is more metallic I guess? It looks like it would have lots of fall-out, but I put it over a cream shadow base (Urban Decay cream shadow in midnight rodeo), and I haven't had any issues! I used the more 'rose gold' half of this on the outer 2/3 of my lid, and used the 'light gold' color on my inner 1/3. I must say, I love the way this looks with blue eyes! If you are looking for something metallic for spring, and you have blue eyes, give this a look!

I also used a L'oreal product on my lips, it's the Colour Riche Balm in Pink Satin 118. It is very moisturizing, and just a nice light pink color, that slightly lightens my lips. I love the smell of this, and the wear time is very decent for a Balm as well! They had more colors, I might have to check some out! I think this is a little better version of Maybelline's Baby Lips, in my opinion.

So if you don't want to shell out the cash for a nice orange/rose eyeshadow from a higher end brand for spring, check out your drugstore! You might find something great and save a bunch! :-)

Fun pink lips for spring!

A great trend I'm seeing and loving right now is the neutral eye with the bold lip!! Neon even!! I know that Bobbi Brown has a 'nude and neon' collection going right now, and I've seen the bright pink and orange lips other places as well!! Love this look!

For my eyes, I used MAC painterly paint pot, vanilla pigment to highlight my brow bone and inner corner, blanc type all over my lid, Bobbi Brown grey in crease, and MAC's vex in the crease as well. I did a fairly thick but not winged out eyeliner look using MAC's blacktrack fluidline, and some MUFE smokey lash for mascara.

For my cheeks I used Azalea Blossom from MAC, and Semi Precious Crystal Pink MSF for highlight.

For my lips, I used NYX dolly pink lip liner, MAC behave yourself lipstick, and style-packed lipglass on top.

Very fun look to try out, and paired with such a neutral eye you just can't go wrong! Be brave, try it out!! :-)

fun bronzey look!

I know it's a bit early for a more summer look, but I loved how this turned out the other day!

I used MAC constructivist paint pot on my lash line and outer 1/3 of my lid, with bare study paint pot on the inner part of my eye, and painterly going through my crease. I have vanilla pigment on my inner 1/3 lid, woodwinked on the center of my lid, and sparkle, neeley, sparkle!(LE) on my outer 1/3 lid and lower lash line. I also layered crystal avalanche on the center of my lid and tear duct, and used vanilla pigment to blend my outer edges. I also just used MAC's blacktrack fluidline to line my upper lash line, and MUFE's smokey lash for my mascara.

On my cheeks, the lovely NARS madly blush, with MAC azalea blossom on my cheeks, and Benefit's high beam for a highlight.

My lips have NYX dolly pink lip liner, MAC snob lipstick, and english accents(LE) lipgloss.

I like to pair such a warm eye look with a cool-toned lip, I think they play off of each other nicely! I wish it was summer, I'd be wearing this look a lot!! :-) Enjoy!
