FOTD: Uzume

I've been feeling pretty inspired lately, it seems! Anisha's usually the one to do colorful and eccentric looks, but I've been playing around with my Buxom Stay-There and Sugarpill eyeshadows, which is always fun.

Valentine’s Day FOTD

I meant to post this earlier in the day, but it’s been a little hectic over here. This year, sadly, I didn’t have a date for Valentine’s Day – unless you count my sister and nephew. But, that didn’t stop me from creating this Vday FOTD! I mostly used my new L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows, which I’ll review this weekend.

Emerald FOTD

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! I finally replaced my lost memory card for my camera, so I’m able to do FOTD’s again! I thought it would be appropriate to do an Emerald FOTD since it’s the Pantone color of the year.

2013 Pantone Color of The Year: Emerald

Last month, Pantone announced that the 2013 color of the year would be Emerald, and I couldn’t have been more excited because it’s one of my favorite colors to wear. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a few weeks now, but just haven’t had a lot of time lately between work and Theme Alchemy, a new site I’m starting to sell premium WordPress …

Inglot FOTD: Elektra

So, for my 26th birthday, I treated myself with a trip to Vegas, but at the last second I decided to extend my vacation and fly to San Francisco from Vegas to visit Anisha! I was so sick with a cold once I got there, but thankfully she keeps a small pharmacy in her apartment. Once I was feeling better I met up with Anisha at work and we went makeup shopping! I knew I definitely wanted to make a trip to INGLOT because I've never seen them outside of trade-shows like IMATS. The only place I know they have a counter is in the Macy's in San Francisco. I was able to purchase a five piece freedom system eyeshadow palette and a small angled brush for just $56! When we got back from the city, we started playing with our makeup. Anisha tried to film a tutorial for you all, but sadly her camera ran out of memory right in the middle of filming. Tragic! She ended up turning it into an FOTD which I hope she'll share with us sometime next week. I chose to create an FOTD with all the Inglot eyeshadows I bought.

FOTD: Valfreyja

Black and gold are always so beautiful together and works on virtually everyone - I love it paired with a classic cat-eye. More pics and product list after the jump!

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick: Acapulco

Recently I went to the mall with my sister, mostly to bring my nephew to the little play area so he could run around, and I just stopped into Sephora to just try on a few things. One of those things was the Big & Healthy™ Lip Stick Acapulco, from Buxom - a brand I had never tried before. After wearing it for the rest of the night and noticing it never faded away or feathered, I was definitely committed to this purchase...
