Shimmery LOTD

I was going to post a look with my Wet N Wild holographic glitter, but it's gone AWOL. So I did this instead.
Black Rose Minerals Sirena, Dawn Eyes Breathtaking, Shiro Cosmetics Bulbasaur, and Pretty Addictions'Gossip
(As a side note, the amount of shadow I got in the sample of Bulbasaur is insane. It's seriously almost the same amount some companies put in their 5 gram jars. Completely awesome. Shiro samples are at the top of the list in that aspect.)

It looks better in real life than in pictures :/

It has apparently become impossible for me to only wear one eyeshadow at a time anymore.

So, that's that..nothing super special, just a quick little blog post...I can't wait to stock up on some new goodies, I feel like it's been forever since I've gotten new sparklies to play with :(

40 questions beauty survey

I stole this from Don't Call me Jessie. Her blog is amazing, and you can find it here. I have nothing else for you tonight, so why not.

How many times do you wash your face daily?Twice. Once in the morning, and once at night.

-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Combination.

-What is your current face wash?
True Blue Spa's White Tea and Apricot scrub. Oh my GOD. This stuff is heaven in a tube for my skin. And it smells delicious.
-Do you exfoliate?
no

-What brand do you use?
-What moisturizer do you use?
I don't :( bad beauty blogger!

-Do you have freckles?
no
-Do you use eye cream?
No

-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
no
-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
No. I really don't like them as a company, just because it seems all they care about is celebrity endorsements! :P---I second this answer


MAKE-UP

-What foundation do you use?
I don't

-How about concealer?
very rarely. I use Jane Oil-free finishing powder on occasion

-Do you know your undertone color?
Blue veins, so cool-toned.

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
Not worth the effort to me. I'd rather use mascara.

-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes. Do I do that?....

-What brand of mascara do you use?
Not super dedicated to a certain brand. Right now I have Rimmel Exaggerate, Hard Candy's Lash Ink (<3 it),  Maybelline Pulse Perfection (the vibrating one,lol) Smashbox Full Exposure, and Maybelline Lash Discovery. All in black/blackest black, stuff like that.

-Sephora or MAC?
Sephora, just for the variety.

-Do you have a MAC Pro card?
I wish!

-What makeup tools do you use in makeup application?
fingers and sometimes brushes.

-Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
Yes , NYX base camp. I also just got a sample of NARS' primer, and I am in love with it.

-For the face?
no

-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
Dear god, there's far too many. A few: Pretty Addictions Obnoxious and Gossip, Vixoden Cosmetíc's Ecstasy and Cryogenic, Sally Beauty's Turquoise, and Shiro Cosmetic's Majora's Mask (check out Pretty Addictions here, Vixoden right here, and Shiro hurr ;)  )

-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
normally pencil, sometimes liquid.

-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never. But I've gotten mascara on my contact lens more than once.

-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
love them

-Do you use mineral makeup?
I think I may have a couple...

-What is your favorite lipstick?
Not really a lipstick girl. I always do my eyes up, so I don't like my lips to give too much competition,lol

-How about lipgloss?
Now, that's a whole 'nother animal. My current obsession is Bath and Body Works Liplicious in Cookies and Scream. It's from their Halloween line, it goes on clear with some gold shimmer, and it smells and tastes like graham crackers and cookie dough. I have four tubes.


 What is your favorite blush to use?
not a blush girl either. For a makeup junkie, I'm pretty low key.

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
from time to time.

-Do you like drugstore makeup?
it's not terrible. Haven't bought any form drugstores in forever though. I've gotten really into more indie companies lately.

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
II've been once, years ago.

-Did you ever consider taking makeup classes?
I would love to.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Not at all -- I'm too much of a perfectionist!

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Lipliner that's shades darker than the lipstick/gloss. Drawn-on eyebrows. <--- same.

-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Bright shadows all the way...hmm that's contradictiory! lol

-Which celebrity always has great make up?Katy Perry, Amy Lee, and Gwen Stefani

-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
eyeliner.
-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
yeah, but I prefer to have at least a little somethin'on
-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Not bad, not great!

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
hmm..I'd have to get back to ya...
-What do you think of makeup?
<3<3<3

Work look

I know, I know, no review or anything of the sorts yesterday...
Here's something to make up for it ^.^

Pretty Addictions' Electric Lemonade (inner corners) and Obnoxious( middle), and Maybelline On-The-Loose rollerball shadow in Skate til Midnight (think that's the name...) on the outer.

I really like the way this picture came out ^


Anyways, just a quick little look for today... And now some ramblings..
I'd say TGIF, but honestly, that really doesn't matter right now..I'm off tomorrow, so maybe I'll just relax with a few drinks tonight, since I won't have to work in the morning...I'm dying to go back to the flea market. It feels like we haven't been in forever, but we're still trying to do this ''no spend november'' thing, so...it'd be pointless to go. You have to pay to park, for one. ( only $1, but still...it's spending money). For two (is that right? Looks funny...), it is next to impossible for me to leave the flea market empty handed. I can do that at ard sales, thrift stores, and most other stores, but the flea market is a completely different animal. My trading card guy almost always gets money from me. (I collect WWE/WWF wrestling cards and figures...shuddup. I've been collecting since I was probably 12, 13..I'm now 23.) I've been going to this guy for cards for probably the last 5 years or so. He always cuts me great deals,probably because I've been going to him for so long. So a handful of cards that would cost anyone $6 will only run me about $3.50.  ^-^ Besides the card guy, there's always always ALWAYS MAC and other makeup brand booths there... And jewelry (got my second heartagram charm at the flea market), food (AWESOME peached last time we went, and one booth has something called a Washington Apple Pear..pretty kickass fruit), and clothes, and magazines, and....well, if you need it, the flea market's got it,lol. And I love it there.
So TGIF, or not.


Any amazing plans for the weekend?
So yeah...(See what I said about rambling above?)

Not really anything to post today :(

Haven't been working...the holidays really bite my ass sometimes..so many new staff members and not shit for hours...it sucks...
So no, no looks.I work tonight, so mayeb I'll have somethig for you then. And if not, I'll write up a review or something tomorrow.



GL out.

LOTD

This is what I wore to work today:

Pretty Addictions Gossip & Uplifting , Urban Decay's Narcotic, Southgate Skincare's Shameless, and Icing brand green.

Short post. I'm beat.

...I don't know...

Pretty Addictions review

So I've mentioned once or twice here how much I love Pretty Addictions cosmetics...Well, what do you think you're getting in this post? Yup!
I haven't ordered anythin from PA in about 6 months, but believe me, I've been drooling over the eye candy goodies since then. I was being good nd not buyin, until Kas had to torment us on her FB page on Monday (Halloween) saying that every order placed that day would receive something extra in their order. So Idid what any makeup addict would do when faced with that offer..I placed an order. This time it was just for 3 clamshell samples. I ordered Electic Lemonade, Gossip, and Wicked.
I placed my order Monday (The day before the bf and I's no spend november was set to kick off...one final purchase..) and it arrived Friday. Great TAT, although I admit, I was already impatient come Wednesday to get my goodies. When they came, it took all I had not to rip into them at the mailbox. But I refrained, in order to take a picture for all of you. You're welcome.

Love the leopard print wrapping everything comes in ;)

Here's what was inside:

The three small containers came shrinked wrapped together, whch I loved..it prevents spillage. The trick or treat sticker hides the extra surprise that was thrown in with my order.

This is everytinhg that came with my order. Remember, my camera sucks, so this isn't the most clear picture in the world.
Let's take a closer look at what I got!

Electric Lemondae. There's not much difference in the two pictures, but I felt you could see the sparkle better in the bottom shot. In both pictures, Lemonade was swatched on bare skin (top stripe) and over NXY white Base Camp primer(bottom stripe)

I love this color! It's so vibrant, but not garish. This seems to be a cousin of Obnoxious...one that's not quite a party animal,lol

Gossip. This one is super super pretty, and probably my favorite out of all I ordered. It really pops, as you can see above, over primer. I'm going to be using this in a look today, pictures later.

Wicked: I have to admit, I flip-flopped a bit before ordering this one. I have way too many black shadows that go unused in my drawer, simply because I am not a black shadow girl. Never have been. But Wicked looked to damn interesting to pass up, so I went ahead and got it. I'm glad I did. The sparkle in this is awesome, and it's got an almost purple tone. It's also super pigmented, even on bare skin (right swatch)

Fiona: This is the bagged sample I got for free (Kas is known to include a free baggie sample with purchases. Last time I ordered, I got Bloom, wh  ich I love) Fiona is a pretty brown color, but honestly, browns aren't really my thing. I'll have to figure out a use for this baby. (bare skin swatch on right.)

Finally...my special treat!

This is Hocus Pocus. A color from Pretty Addictions'   Dancing With The Devil collection. When I opened this, all I could say was ''wow''. Pictures do this one NO justice. It;s described on the website as a duochrome that works best with a base ( bare skin swatch on right for comparison.) Goregeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS.

For comparitive purposes, Hocus Pocus is on the bottom. That's right, it was a delux sized sample she threw in , for free, in addition to the bagged sample. <3

Like Isaid, there will be a look later with Gossip, I can't wait to show it off!

Pocketbacs galore!

I took a few pictures of my Bath and Bod Works hand sanitizer collection the other day, figuring if nothing else, I could have a mini ''throwaway'' post, if you will. Nothing majorly exciting here, but I'm really trying to have this blog be a daily thing, like I originally intended, so here it is.

Yeah. It's just a bag full o'sanitizers.

Shown next to my hand for size comparison.
