Mint Chocolate

As mentioned in the Sugarpill swatch-fest post I am completely in love with Mochi. Although I really hate the taste of mint, I find mint green eyeshadow delicious and this one is just perfect. :)

The look I'm showing you today is inspired by this look by Jacqueline from abrilliantbrunette.com. I find that combining mint and brown is such an excellent choice, so I just had to try it. And here is the result. :)

For once I didn't use black eyeliner to create a retro-wing on my eyes! :P 

Nude lips to make the look more work appropriate and balance out the colorful eye-makeup. :) (I snapped this pic a couple of minutes before I left for work, that's why the piercings are absent).

Thanks for reading and hope you'll have a lovely weekend! :) 

Depend #357

If Shrek would lend his name to a nail polish this would definitely be the shade! I bet princess Fiona could use it as a nude color polish. Haha! :P

Although this shade is definitely unique I don't know if I'm completely floored. It is definitely not a shade that I would ever call beautiful since it is rather, well, ugly. But somehow I can't help but liking it. :)

My cuticles are a disaster at the moment so let's focus on the manicure please... I hate when my hands dry out this time a year and this far I haven't found anything that helps.

Have you guys tried any of the new polishes from Depends spring 2013 collection? Which one is your favorite? :)

Thanks for reading! :D

I have had a great week on work! :) Everyone - both customers and co-workers - are being so nice and it is great to be able to do something that I'm good at and that I really like doing. Since I work very long days I haven't had time to post this look until now. I actually wore it a week ago... But better late than never, I guess! :P

The rhinestones are inspired by how one of the models at heavyred.com wears her makeup. :) I don't know if I liked it a lot though... Looks good on her but I didn't quite feel comfortable with it.

Photoshopped green eyes...

Nude lips and a really playful hairdo. :) I really should wear my hair like this more often because I loved it. It isn't that obvious when looking at the picture but I have put up my hair in pigtails. Very Harley Quinn. :)

So, tomorrow I start my third week at my trainee job and now that I have started to get a hang of things I am going to set up some personal goals for myself.
I hope all of you have had a lovely weekend and that you enjoyed reading this somewhat tedious post. :P See you soon! Well, soon enough anyway... 

Lollipop

As you probably already know I adore my Sugarpill eyeshadows. I wanted to try on a very different combination of vibrant shades so I wrecked my brain and inspiration picture stash for ideas. Eventually, I came across a look by Linn, a.k.a. MrBarbie at Dayviews.com that I decided to recreate (with a few modifications...). :)
If you're a member on Dayviews you can find her picture here.

Well, now onto my version of this look.

I decided to name this look "Lollipop" because that Lollipop song kept popping up in me head frequently during its creation. Buttercupcake is adorning the upper lid accompanied by Dollipop on the lower. They definitely make a candylicsious duet!

To get Buttercupcake to blend into my skin a little better, and to give my crease some definition I used Taupe notch by Makeup Geek as a transition color.

If you don't have the perfect Barbie-pink shade of lipstick you can do like this: 1. Make sure your lips are adequately moisturized. 2. Wipe off any excess lip balm and then apply NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk all over your lips. 3. With a lip brush apply a hot pink over your lips, making sure that Milk doesn't show through anywhere. 4. As a finishing touch, apply a little more Milk to the center of your lips and finish with a clear lip gloss.

Haha, I guess this is NOT my style at all but I kind of liked the result anyway. :) Sugarpill-Barbie/Pin up. Or something.
