Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Playtime

1st is using Midnight Cowgirl, Skimp, Hijack and Gunmetal

2nd is using Asphysia (Face Case), Blue Bus, Gravity & Zephyr

A Couple EOTD's

Hello, just to start I am sorry for the lack of posts. Its been kinda a crazy hectic couple of weeks. So I had totally been spacing on taking pictures of looks. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Urban Decay's Book Of Shadows IV!! I expect it to arrive early next week, fingers crossed :)

Anyway here is a couple of looks I've done this week. Both are very basic and IMO work appropriate

For this one I used my Stila Backstage Eye Palette. I found this little beauty at Winner's for $10. What a steal! Every shadow is perfection, so soft and buttery. I used the bottom left all over the lid/crease and blended the crease out with the middle top shade. These are named but I don't have my palette handy at the moment. I can't remember if I lined my upper lashline, but from the picture it doesn't appear so. The main shadow that I used appears to be a brown in the palette but applies more of a mauve. Its very beautiful. Today I pulled out my Urban Decay Book Of Shadow II, which is my favourite BOS yet. This is a very simple 2 shadow look. I applied Sellout (2nd row, 2nd shade) all over the lid and Misdemeanor (last row, last shade) on the outer corner and crease. I lined my upper lashline with a a teal gel liner.

EOTD-Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette Lilac & Bronze

So it seems setting up that little makeup draw has sparked my own creativity and I've been having no problem coming up with ideas on my own. So for the time being the draw is stalled. Today I put my Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette to work. I adore this palette so much!! Its so beautiful. There is nothing I don't completely love about it. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am working on a review and swatches. I am trying to find what lighting works best with my older model camera. Temptalia has a wonderful post on it if your interested in seeing swatches. http://www.temptalia.com/

I used:

Tainted (row 1 middle) on inner 1/2 of the lid

Chase (bottom row left) on the outer 1/2 of the lid

MIA (row 2 right) on the outer V and crease

Matte white to highlight (not pictured)

CoverGirl Volume Exact on upper lashes

Morning, I felt inspired again today so I didn't draw again. I pulled out an old, hardly used MAC shadow-Tilt to use. I paired it with some shades out of my new UD palette (review/swatches coming soon). Here's what I came up with.

I used:

Flow on the lid

Vanilla on the inner corner

Tilt in the crease and outer corner

Ace in the outer V

Annabelle's matte white to highlight

Black gel liner on upper lashes

CoverGirl Lash Exact on upper lashes

Gold/Bronze Inspired EOTD

Hi! Today's eye's are inspired by a look one of my fave youtubers did recently that I LOVED!!. She does some of the greatest tutorials IMO. This is loosely inspired by her tutorial (link below), as I don't have the products that she used. I didn't do the draw today since I had in mind to do this one before I forgot about it.

Here's a photo of the shadows used:

Top left: Faces gold loose pigment on lid Top middle: Faces light yellow/gold loose pigment on inner corner

Top right: MAC Vanilla pigment highlight

Bottom left: MAC Hot Hot Hot, outer v and crease

Bottom middle: Faces Dark Brown, crease and above crease

Bottom right: MAC Brule, over Vanilla on highlight

Urban Decay's Bourbon 24/7 Eyeliner on upper lid

Benefits They're Real Mascara on upper lashes

EOTD-Tarte The Vanity

Hello, so day 2 draw result was "Tarte Vanity". I wasn't too thrilled because this hasn't been a palette I've ever reached for cause the quality is just so-so, as far as the eyeshadows are concerned. But I stuck to my guns and used it anyhow. Since I was wearing a blue work shirt today I opted to do a neutral lid with blue/teal in the crease. I was completely unhappy with the way this turned out. It just became all muddy when I blended the shadows. As a last minute effort to revive it I applied a bright blue liner. Overall not satisfied. Ah well onto the next day.

I used:

Row 4, Shade 2 on the lid

Row 1, Shade 2 in the crease

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Electric on upper lash line

Maybelline Colossal Mascara on upper lashes only

EOTD-Wet N' Wild Petal Pusher Palette

Happy Tuesday!! Last night I was sitting in my dressing room, swatching some of my palettes when I came to the realization that I don't get enough use out of some of them. This is mostly because of the massive amount of ones that I own. I have also been lacking in creativity lately, so I decided to create a makeup draw for myself, lol. I cut up little strips of paper and wrote down tons of different palettes, single shadows, trio etc. as well as basic colours as well. Today I pulled "PINK"

So I decided to use my Wet N' Wild Petal Pusher palette I picked up at Walmart last week. I LOVE this palette, so beautiful!! I have been waiting for nearly a year for these to become available in Canada. I got mine at Walmart for under $5.00. What a steal!

I used:

Shade #1 on the inner corner's and highlight

Shade #5 on the lid

Shade #6 in the crease

Shade #7 on the outer corner and lightly in the crease (this shade is a dupe for MAC's Beauty Marked, but with better pigmentation)

I used Urban Decay's Rockstar 24/7 Eyeliner on the upper lash line w/ Maybelline's The Colossal Waterproof mascara on upper lashes only

Excited to see what tomorrow's pull is. xo, Jen (Palette image credit: nouveaucheap.blogspot.com)

False Lashes for Sex In The City

So this past Sunday a couple gf's and I went to see Sex In The City, which I have been dying to see. I watched every episode on DVD (for the millionth time) to prepare for the movie. I LOVED every minute of it, and while I was happy with the ending, I will forever be in love with Aidan. Damn him for getting married and having a child with another woman!!! :(
Anywho I did myself up all fancy for the movie with some giant false eyelashes, and I'll tell ya these were hell to get on my left eye. I had to completely remove my eye makeup once cause I got glue EVERYWHERE including in my eye which stings ALOT. In the end thought I was really happy with how it turned out.

I used:

UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion)
Ardell Lashes/Glue(in clear for strip lashes)
UD Shadow in Grafitti
UD Shadow in Underground
UD Shadow in Scratch
Smashbox Fusions Soft Lights in Sunset
