Friday!!! + easy peasy FOTD

Happy Friday everyone! :)

What are your weekend plans?

Tomorrow I'm going to have to drive down to school again to make an appointment with an advisor... I'd gone today but they closed early due to tropical storm Don. Puh-lease.

Since I went out of the house I decided to go to the mall to deposit some money into my account and then headed to our bookstore, which is currently holding sales since it's going to close. :( So I went ahead and bought two Souther Vampire Mystery books: Dead Until Dark and Dead to the World. They're the first book and fourth... why not buy Living Dead in Dallas and Club Dead, you may ask? Because they didn't have them. T_T I guess I'll buy them off Amazon when the time comes. :D

It's currently sorta raining and I'm hungry, with a headache... wonder what we're going to eat...

Enough complaining on my part... on to my FOTD!

Molten metals FOTD

I've had a hankering to use Antiqued again. I had previously used it in a look inspired from one of Temptalia's past tutorials and while I liked how it looked... I felt like it was missing something. I was actually going to post it as a FOTD look but I couldn't find the right lipstick and/or lipgloss and the pictures just seemed... off. Maybe one day I'll try to recreate it, with better results. :)

Once again, my lash application was on my right eye a little off. PORQUE DIOS MIO?! I guess I am just a bit out of practice. :P

I really loved the lip combo for this look, I thought it went really paired with the eyes. 

I guess I'm just a sucker for browns, golds and neutrals in general. But I do love bright colors and punching things up once in a while. ;)

That's all for today folks!

Color me Barney FOTD

Since MAC's Bloggers' Obsessions collection was going to be launched again, I decided to dust off Jealousy Wakes and do a look with it. :) 
I hadn't used makeup in a few days and I just wanted to perk myself up by looking pretty and adding something that I think just kicks it up a notch: false lashes. 

Just one eyes coz the lashes on my other eye came out a bit wonky.

Love these lashes!

I loved how this look turned out! I'd read on Specktra about pairing Jealousy Wakes with purple and at first I was a bit skeptical since I thought, "Green and purple? That's so Barney!" But I ended up amazed how great these two color look together. This is definitely not the last time I'm pairing green and purple together. ;)

Also! I'd like to make a correction about my Punchy FOTD post. I didn't use the lashes I'd listed... no idea how I got that name, must be because I'm LOOKING for those lashes. XD

I used 102 Demi lashes. :)

MAC One of a Kind lipstick

...is the only product I ended up buying from the Semi-Precious collection. I'm still kinda kicking myself about not buying Gem of Roses OR Golden Gaze, but that's okay. I think haha.

When I first swatched One of a Kind at the back of my hand, I was surprised... the color turned a very pretty pinky color despite the scary color it has in the tube. I tried it on (well, an MA put it on me, along with a lipliner) and I loved it. It was a natural shade for that can be used for everyday wear; like my lips, but a bit darker. :)

That's all for now!

hoping to find my camera soon T_T

Wendy.

Punchy FOTD (picture fail)

Hi everyone! Long time no post, sorry for my laziness. ^^;;

I'd recently bought a pair of new lashes, Ardell demi pixies and had been wanting to give them a whirl so I used them in a look today. Sorry for the crap picture, though! I could not, for the life of me, find my camera and couldn't find my mom's either... so I had to make do with the webcam on my laptop. ;_;

I really like how the look came out though and will most likely be recreating it once I've found my camera to show how pretty it looks. :) 

I'll list products first and pictures later.

MAC Semi-Precious

Hello lovelies! This past Thursday MAC's Semi-Precious collection came out and I bought... nothing. I originally had Golden Gaze, Blue Sheen, Dark Indulgence, Smoked Ruby and Gem of Roses on my wishlist but then it eventually became Golden Gaze, Rare Find and Gem Roses... but then realizing that MAC's fall collections were going to bust my wallet, I decided to skip everything. Not without a heavy heart, mind you. I am an absolute sucker for golden eyeshadows and neutral pink lippies and those were indeed the first to sell out on the website... though I'm pretty sure they sold out first at my local counter as well.

But! luckily for me a lovely lady I follow, Wendy (ah! name twins! lol) is having a Gem of Roses giveaway. My odds of winning are slim, but one never knows right? Maybe I could be the lucky winner, maybe I could not. Ah luck... thou are a cruel mistress. 

If you are also interested in having the possibility to own Gem of Roses, you can check out her giveaway here! Good luck to everyone who's entered so far and thanks to Wendy for having the giveaway! :)

Anxiously awaiting...

Undead and Undermined! I really wish USPS was better about tracking items, last I checked it was at Houston and hasn't departed. -_-

Houston, we have a problem.

I want my book! 

It's been getting not very good reviews on amazon.com (where I bought it from) but same happened with the previous book and I loved it! 

Anyway, just ranting.

Hope everyone has a lovely afternoon!

xo,

Wendy.

Frogginess NOTW

Sorry that I didn't post my NOTW entry yesterday, we went to the beach and when I got home I was all tired and sunburned... which made me go to sleep early. But here it is!

Random shot!

I was originally going to paint my nails another color but since I'd been watching The Princess and the Frog with my niece I got inspired by the froggies' color and decided to paint my nails green instead! 

Anyway, I just love watching The Princess and the Frog, such a cute story! Not to mention the soundtrack is pretty good and the songs they sing are catchy; I've got a few of them in my iPod.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy fourth of July! :D

Until next time.

xo,

Wendy.

MAC fall collections

I am going to be so poor courtesy of two of MAC's fall collections. You can see the color story for MAC Me Over here. From that, I want:

Lipstick

-Offshoot Mid-tone neutral pink (Cremesheen)

-Prince Noir  Deep blue-purple (Matte) 

-Runaway Red Rich red-blue (Satin) 

Eyeshadow

-Carbonized Frosty dark brown (Veluxe Pearl)

Shadesticks

-Cakeshop Frosted pewter (Limited Edition)

-Street Cool Mid-tone grey violet taupe (Limited Edition)

Fluidline

-Midnight Blues Blackened blue (Limited Edition)

-Dark Envy Blackened green (Limited Edition)

Blush

-Stunner Light coral pink (Satin)

Brush

226 Small tapered blending brush

My list of course, will change once I've seen product swatches. But for now I must save up, especially if products are as gorgeous as they sound. ^^

It's surprising that I didn't list a lipglass but I think I've got enough on my wishlist as it is, but we'll see once swatches are out. :)

Thankfully Posh Paraside won't put much strain on my wallet since I'm only interested in one mattene lipstick! The paint pots, however, are a whole different story. I love the color their color description but I've never owned a paint pot so I'm not sure how well they work. I know they are most commonly used as bases and can be used as a wash of color, I think. Not sure how much I'd use them but I think they might be nice to have. :)

You can find the color story for Posh Paradise here.

So far, I only want:

Mattene

-Deliciously Forbidden (I love that name!) Mid-tone berry  

Paint Pot

-Half-Wild Mid-tone purple 

-Hyperviolet Deep violet

-Idyllic Mid-tone copper bronze

-Genuine Treasure Reflects antique gold

-Imaginary Blackened navy

All of them are frosty.

My paint pot list however, will also change with swatches.

Even though I'll be poor, I can't wait! :D

Until next time!

xo,

Wendy.
