Inspired Purple!

I did this look almost two months ago, hence the dark roots. I was putting off getting my hair colored simply because I didn't have the time when my straight, male co-worker gave me the stank face and asked, "What's going on with your roots?" I had to do something ASAP!

I was inspired by Yummy 411's Purple Life look but wanted something I could wear to work as well.

I don't know what I was thinking when I used my extra thick eye cream under an Urban Decay eyeliner (used all over the lid) without setting it with a shadow. Needless to say : crease city.

Take a look:

Lilac Lips and New MAC Skinsheen Bronzer Stick

Okay, Okay...wait, wait, wait,...I tried to crop out my cardigan in the pics since my leopard headscarf is visible. So I only have on the leopard print headscarf to hold down my "edges" while I drive to the train station in the morning. I know it doesn't match but I often walk to my car/ greet and talk to my neighbors in the parking lot in get-ups similar to this. Don't cut me!

Anywho - this face is pretty simple as I was clearly in a rush lol. Neutral eyes with lilac lips using Revlon lipstick in 001 Lilac with a touch of MAC Wrong Spell lipglass. Lancome's Hypnose Drama mascara has been holding down my lashes lately and I am loving it. On my cheeks I'm wearing the new Limited Edition Skinsheen Bronzer Stick by MAC in Guilty Bronze. LOVE THIS BRONZER!


 
 

Lip Combo Love

When I purchased MAC's "Go For It" lipstick, I knew it was a pretty color but was unsure of how to wear it. Recently I've discovered a combo that I love!

MAC Currant lipliner + Go For It lipstick + Smashbox Ecstasy lipgloss = LOVE!

Milani Wild Violets Quad

Happy Easter Makeup Lovers!

Because it is Easter Sunday, I did a FOTD using purples. When I think of Easter colors I think of pastels, pinks, purples, yellows, etc. I also stuck with a drugstore brand of makeup.


I purchased this Milani quad When CVS was having it's major 75% off sale (original price is $4.99) and have never used it. I decided to give it a go! This quad features 4 varying shades of purple - all of the colors have pretty average pigmentation with the lightest color being the softest/chalkiest. I've definitely seen much better pigmentation among drugstore makeup. I used all four colors in this look.

The colors are definitely more vivid in person, but nothing to write home about. I think that these shadows could be worn to work - what do you think? Am I pushing it?
