Simple classic makeup

It seems the more and more I get into this hobby of mine (maybe obsession), the more I am beginning to appreciate a simple natural-ish eye and a red lip.   What sucks though is I haven't been able to find the right colors in lipstick form, so I've been using my lipliners as my color and then putting a balm over top as to keep them matte..  LOVE it!  

For eyes:
Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Spellbound - lid
ELF Cool Bronzer (Darkest shade of brown) - crease
Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Dark Brown liquid eyeliner
Maybelline Stiletto Volumnious Mascara in Blackest Black

Lips:
Max Factor Vivid Impact Liner - #150, Ms. Right
Burts Bees lip balm with peppermint

No face except Neutrogena Tinted Moisturizer in Light/Medium
Blush - Max Factor - Color Genius Blush - #110, Peaches

Shimmery Mint Chocolate Chip


This is a look I did today when I wanted to finally try the sample I received when I bought from Beauty From the Earth cosmetics company.   I got a small little baggie of Elegant, which is a super shimmery sparkley minty green.  There's got to be at least 4 uses in the little baggie. 

Anywho, I paired it with the Wet N Wild Palette in Vanity, this bottom right brown, and came up with this look. 

Eyes:
Primer - Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Base - Wet N Wild Idol Eyes Creme Shadow pencil in Pixie
Beauty From the Earth shadow - Elegant
Wet N Wild Vanity Palette - Medium Golden Taupey Brown (matte side) and Shimmery Brown (bottom right), Creme (matte, top left) for highlight
Urban Decay 24/7 liner - Whiskey  (bottom lashes)
Wet N Wild Mega Eyes liquid liner - Dark Brown
Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara - Black Brown

Face:
Bare Minerals in Medium Beige foundation
Bare Minerals concealer - Summer Bisque
Wet N Wild matte Bronzzer - 701 (Light/Medium) contour
Covergirl Instant Cheekbones contouring blush-  Pearly Plum

Lips:
ELF Minty Lip Gloss - San Diego



(FISH FACE! - Dont make this face normally, but it was funny to my son.)


(Pardon the wet hair.. curls air dry)

**Disclaimer!!! I'm fully aware my eyebrows aren't groomed as beautifully as they should be (going to get fixed tomorrow, honest!), but school and my monster of a 3 year old come first, so there will be little hairs..  get over it ;)**

I normally don't go for greens, but ever since Halloween, I've been a bit more open to them, especially if I can manage a smokey eye with them.  Colors are fun!  Have a great time experimenting with it, because I know I do!
