Weekly confession: What is your worst beauty sin?

I've seen this on at least a couple of blogs now and I thought  it was a fun idea to adopt it to my blog as well. :) Write a comment in the comments section for this post, telling us about your own beauty sins.

So this weeks question:

What is your worst beauty sin? 

It could be anything really; overplucking your brows, too much rouge or a foundation that is far too dark for your skin maybe? Something that you do although you know it's not entirely good.

For me my worst beauty sin is definitely that I often neglect my hair when doing a look. I put so much focus on my makeup (especially the eye makeup) so I don't have time, energy or patience left to spend on my hair. This often leaves me with a very unfinished look - bold makeup combined with a sloppy, slightly tangled mini-pony-tail on my head. Haha, I bet it looks kind of weird some times. :) I'm also kind of lazy when it comes to re-dying my hair, particularly my sideburns that get color-deprived much, much faster than the rest of my purple fluff. So I usually end up with blondish sideburns and purple on the rest of my head. XD

Crazy makeup combined with "lazy" hair. 

So, now, let me hear your confessions my dear readers! :) 

Gemini

I finally did the Gemini look for my Zodiac series. :) It turned out very colorful which is how I see the Gemini's I know.
When I think of Gemini I think of two elements that are each others reflection and that is the concept that this look is based upon. The colors I've chosen fit in together in a way that makes it hard to realize that the eyes are different, which makes it possible to wear this look outside even though it is highly special. :)

Since the eyes are different I decided to take a lot more pics of this look than I usually do. Phew!

And to put a little gothic twist on it just add a black lip. ;)

Red Riding Hood

My current obsession is about the show Once Upon a Time. It is amazing! For those of you who doesn't know about it, it is about fairy tale characters who, due to a curse, has been trapped in the little town Storybrooke, Maine. They don't remember anything about their past life in the Enchanted forest, but one day a girl, Emma, comes to town and things start to change.
It is a wonderful, magical story which thrillingly makes you watch episode upon episode. ;) The most interesting element in the series is definitely the love story inspired by Beauty and the Beast, which is so beautiful it makes your heart ache.
As for the actors the most famous one's in this show are the pretty Ginnifer Goodwin (as Snow White) and the brilliant Robert Carlyle (as Rumplestiltskin; who is definitely my favorite character ;) ).

Anyways, there are a lot of great makeup looks in this show as well and the one I like most is the one that Red Riding Hood's Real World-alter-ego, Ruby, wears in one of the episodes in season 1.

Meghan Ory as Ruby/Red riding hood. Isn't she beautiful?

And here's my version of the look! :) 

This week I've worn this look every day. The Makeup Geek lipstick in Elegant is probably one of my new favorites (except my trusty ol' black of course... ;) ). I will write a review on it soon because I feel the need to tell you all about what a great lipstick it is. 

I really like this look. :) 

Since the close-up pictures I took from the first time I wore this look turned out crappy (why does red always look over-saturated on my pics??) I photographed the eyes again, with other light settings. Hence, the black eyebrows on the close-ups. ;) 

Make sure that the red is strongest on the outside corner/crease and then softly blend it into the white on the eyelids. Before adding the red, add a medium/light brown in the crease as a transition color. So basically, Step 1. White on the lid; Step 2. Soft brown in the crease; Step 3. Red; Step 4. Eyeliner. Not too hard, right? :)
