Inspired by Lavender Town

I think I've been playing way too much Pokemon lately. I want there to be more tasks in Lavender Town because I never want to leave there! But anyway...here's what I did with my eyes today.

I used an eyeshadow quad by Ulta that contains the perfect combination of colors. I used Bloom on my eyelid, Plum Noir on the crease, Naked on the brow bone and Ice Queen for the inner corners. I used a dark purple liquid liner by Kat Von D on my bottom lash line called Homie. I was kind of disappointed with this. The color is so pretty but the liquid liner goes on kind of chunky and the applicator is hard to control. Good thing I found this on clearance!

Oddish?


I just cut my boyfriend's hair tonight and this is what it looks like right now. I feel like he kinda looks like an Oddish.




R2-D2 T-shirt and the new Urban Decay Book of Shadows

I'm so excited! I bought the new Urban Decay Book of Shadows and I absolutely love it. There's a nice variety of colors in it and I'm looking forward to playing with it more. Today I felt like matching my eye make-up with my R2-D2 t-shirt just for fun.
This is the shirt:

...and here is what I ended up with:

I used Midnight Cowgirl on my lid and Hijack on the crease both from the Book of Shadows. Then I used the 24/7 liquid liner in Perversion which was included on my top lash line. On the bottom lash line I used Urban Decay's liquid liner in Acid Rain. I use Almay's one coat mascara regularly but I'm looking for something that dries a little faster because my lashes tend to just get stuck together and defeat the purpose of curling them.

Make Your Own Sugar Scrub!!

My skin was super dried out and rash-y on my arms from washing dishes. I looked for a few recipes online and none of them really sounded appealing to me so I tried making my own. I loved the results and it smells super sweet!  And best of all, it takes almost no time to make.
You'll need:

  • brown sugar
  • almond oil
  • small container to keep it in


Put about a drop or two of almond oil into the container per spoonful of sugar. If you want it to be smoother, you can add 3 or 4 per spoonful. Use as you please and enjoy :)

Who's that Pokemon?




It's Lucario! These are pictures of my little sister before SacAnime. We had to dye her hair black for the costume. I helped her do her make-up and hair. I used Bright Fuchsia pigment from M.A.C.'s Spring 2011 Wonder Woman collection and just some black eyeliner to create this simple, but cute look.

Urban Decay Revolution

This is probably my new favorite tool! It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it. My lashes are wider than other curlers allow me to work with so the bar-free feature was perfect for me. No more pinching or crimping :) You can get yours here:

The curler itself is very cute and small. This works just fine for me, but if you have larger hands, you may have a hard time with it.
