Make up Looks and Weight Loss Update

My face is Bella Terra mineral make up.

I really like how it blends with my skin and feels light.

My eyes are Urban Decay are Twice Baked and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again.

My blush is Wet n Wild Pearlescent Pink.

My lips are Kiko Rosetto Vinyl.

This is a fresh simple look that I enjoy wearing.

As I was a the kiosk for Bella Terra I bought some mineral gold shimmer

eye shadow and gold eye glitter.

I played around with it to make this eye look.

I started with NYX Jumbo eye pencil in white.

Then put the gold shimmer eye shadow and then dabbed

 on the LA splash proof sealer.

While that was still tacky I dabbed on the glitter with a brush.

After that I added liquid eye liner and false lashes.

I was going for a more dramatic look. But, it still turned out pretty.

The LA Splash proof sealer works great at holding the glitter on.

I highly recommend it.

Sorry about the pictures, it was late and the only light was my computer monitor, hehe.

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE!

I am still doing great, if not my best with my 

being healthy and working out.

I go to the gym everyday or every other day and I push it hard for an hour.

I mainly do the stair climber and leg work outs that target my

glutes, hamstrings and quads (the leg and booty area)

Results are showing!

I have kept 15 pounds off for more than 2 months.

Now, I am just toning up and making the slim look strong and healthy.

What I eat is the main thing that is working.

I keep my portions small, meaning I only eat until I am

no longer hungry.

Because I have been doing this, I get full much easier and

therefore continue to keep my portions small.

I try to eat foods that are full of nutrients.

I do have 1 cookie or a bite of cupcake every so often.

But, I keep it in check and just a tiny bit.

I don't want to throw away all my hard work in 2 minutes of

consuming a food, ya know?

Also, I am drinking a lot of water all day and night.

My weakness is at night with my stomach is grumbling for a snack.

I don't deny myself, but I chose something low calorie

like the healthy pop corn or celery sticks.

I also wear tight fitting pants to keep me aware 

as to why I am being good.

The tight pants are REALLY helping.

Below is me on Saturday for a neon party.

And here is a close up of my make up

The filter I used on the picture made me look all orange, oops!

I found a $1.99 eye shadow palette at a beauty supply that had

all the neon colors I needed.

So, I used  them and added some false eye lashes and glitter to 

complete my neon look.

Picture Polish Kryptonite and Birthday Pictures!

Picture Polish Kryptonite (2 coats)

Top coat

Hey, I wanted to show you a polish I received

 from a sweet lady for my birthday swap present. 

Picture Polish Kryptonite is a dark green jelly polish with chunks of

holo like sparkles. 

The sparkles show in the sun, as expected. 

But, it looks gorgeous in the shade as well.

You can see in the above and below pictures 

how the particles are obvious in the shade. 

I have Picture Polish Monroe and the formula is the same.

I really really love this polish's formula.

 I'm on my 3rd day without any tip wear!

Thanks again Amy for sending it to me :)

Below is in the sun.

Here is my make up for my birthday celebration

Night 2.

I wore Urban Decay shadows from the 15th anniversary palette.

My lips are a lip stain by Maybelline.

I curled my hair with a curling wand the night before

and just touch up some of the curls for this night.

My dress is Bebe and my shoes are Steve Madden

Orly High on Hope and Birthday Pictures!

Orly High on Hope (2 coats)

Top coat

Hey! I am still pretty under the weather. But, I wanted to post something!

Here is Orly High on Hope.

Its is from the 2013 Spring Hope and Freedom Collection.

 There are 6 colors.

I purchased 3 of them, High on Hope (shown), Elation Generation (pink jelly with glitter)

 and Melodious Utopia (yellow shimmer).

High on Hope is a navy jelly with pink shimmers inside

 that have a slight duo chrome effect.

I put 2 thin coats.

The dry time was good and so far the wear is good.

It is cloudy here in Atlanta, so no sun pictures.

However, I think High on Hope looks better in the shade.

And below are some of the pictures from my birthday celebration.

I went out 2 nights.

This is night one.

I wore a Holt dress that made me feel so pretty.

My make up is Urban Decay Theodora palette.

My lips are Maybelline lip stain in a red color.

My nails for the night were Color Club Revvvolution.

 

Above is with flash.

Below is in direct sunlight.

You can see Revvvolution has a scattered holo effect.

It takes 1-2 coats for full coverage.

With top coat, the stay time is pretty decent for a holo.

Wet n Wild Shimmer the Night Away

Wet n Wild Shimmer the Night Away

Hello again :)

I am showing another RAOK I received over the winter holidays.

I was sent this palette and another Wet n Wild one.

I usually wear Urban Decay, so I am spoiled with creaminess of the shadows.

With that said, I wasn't that disappointed with WnW eye shadows.

They are not the quality of the high end, 

but worth every penny of the drugstore brand.

You can purchase these anywhere Wet n Wild is sold.

Here is a great review on this palette

Kat Von D Starry Eyes Palette

Hello! Here are a couple of looks I came up 

with using the Kat Von D Starry Eyes palette.

I was given this in a RAOK (Random Act of Kindness) from a 

sweet person in a beauty group during the winter holidays.

First, I tried the brown eye shadows, Felix. (above)

They blended well and the color pay off was good.

I paired that with the lip color, Adora. 

The color of Adora is a orange tinted red

 and looks good with my complexion. 

I was happy enough with this look.

 It is a little out of my normal look, but was good enough for a casual day.

Below I wore the darker purple shades, Lohner.

They blended the same as Felix.

I paired the lip shade Lolita with those eye shadows.

I liked this look overall better on me.

I added Urban Decay glitter liner in Spandex as an accent.

I have yet to try the other 2 shades, Helmut and Requiem.

But, I am sure the quality is just the same.

Here is another review on the palette that gives more infomation

Sephora Cinderella Palette swatches

(Colors used: Maiden, Charming, Chateau, Rococo)

These colors blended easily enough.

Hey there! Sorry, I have been gone so long.

I was on a wonderful vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

We stayed at the Hard Rock Resort for a good friend's wedding.

I will touch back on that at the end of this post.

Anyways, on to the make up!

I heard about the Sephora Disney Cinderella palette

a bit too late to actually find one in the stores or online.

So, after being patient, and some help from people in the facebook world.

I found one for sell and bought it for a good price and it was new in the box!

I have worn it for 3 days in a row and these are the 3 looks I came up with.

I only used the eyeshadows from this palette

 to come up with my combinations.

I have heard that people were disappointed

with the dryness of the eyeshadows.

The only issue I had was with the blue colors, especially the color "Royal".

They didn't look the same color on me as the

palette and did seem a bit "chalk-y"

Now, with that said, I still made it work without that much fuss.

I am happy with the palette and will continue to use it.

(Colors used: Charming, Drizella, and Rococo)

These colors blended easily, Drizella is a beautiful

coppery brown that I love.

(Colors used: Ball Gown, Glass Slipper, Royal, and Midnight)

This combination was the hardest for me to

 blend and to get a saturated look.

Glitter liner is Urban Decay Spandex

Here are some of the many pictures that were taken

 on our 6 day vacation with friends.

My love and I right before the ceremony.

I used my trusty curling wand for my hair.

My hair started to turn a orange red during the trip, boo! lol.

Here are some of us ladies.

Here is my hubby and I. I got really burnt the first day and stayed

out of the sun the rest of the trip, well as much as I could.

This is some of us ladies right before the ceremony.

Here is another group shot.

The guy and girl right below him are the bride and groom.

I have a lot of nail pictures and posts I need to add, so come back soon :)
