Look #6 E-E-E-Eeeewoks



Ok so this look doesn't have too much to do with Ewoks other than the fact that it matches my Ewok shirt.



What I used:

Mac e/s Sun Blonde (Surf Baby USA) all over lid and lower inner lash line
Mac e/s Saffron (Surf Baby USA) outer lid and crease as well as lower outer lash line
Mac e/s Short Shorts (Surf Baby USA) inner corner highlight and eyebrow highlight
Tarte SmolderEYES eyeliner in Fig
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes in Black



I'm really loving playing around with Sun Blonde which is a mustardy yellow color. And who would have thought I would love anything that had to do with mustard! Saffron is so much fun as a crease color - its a dirty kinda orange color. I would highly recommend adding similar colors to your collection if you are looking for something fun and different!

Yub Nub!

Look #5: TMNT

This was a look a did a couple weeks ago. I had been watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so that was my inspiration. I used mostly my E.L.F pallet but the lighter green color is MAC Sharp.

Look #4 Boom Biz Bang

This was inspired by Kandee Johnson's 4th of July look.
Here is what I used:  Make-up Forever Flash Palette Blue, e.l.f. cool palette (spring) the first blue on the left in the top row, pop sugar "Glitter Addict" blue with Hard Candy's  Show Girl's Secret Glitter Glue and Urban Decay 24/7 liner in "Honey"



Start with a neutral shade all over the eye.  I used the top white and pink colors in the e.l.f. palette shown.  Then with an angled brush line your eye, carefully -- the colors in the flash palette smear very easily so if you are using a cream shadow or something like that try to keep your lid down and don't open your eye too wide or you will get a double line on your lid.

Next, wing it out!

After my first wing, I swiped a second one under it.  You don't have to do that.  Or you can put three or four....whatever you like, Little Firecracker!

Next set it with your blue shadow.  Once you've done this you might want to use a fan brush to wipe off the excess that will be on your wings.

Dip a thin tipped brush in the Glitter Glue and dip this in the glitter.  Carefully follow your line of blue, but honestly, a little fallout won't hurt ya here!  Then I lined my waterline with the 24/7 "Honey" and finished off in under my eye.  I blended the blue and the "Honey" together a little bit.

Cheeks: Hot Topic red blush with a stipple brush.  I got this blush for $.98!  Sweet!

Lips.  Line with Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Liner and finish off with Tarina Tarantino "Ruby Headphone".  Any red lip stick or gloss will do!


I also have my BIG bump it in with a banana clip and my 4th of July Tiara.  Whoop whoop!

When trying to look cute turns into looking like a psycho!

I need to work on the lighting AND ignore the mess in the back!  Ugh!



Look #3 Firecracker!

There is a learning curve to this blog thing, so Jaclyn has asked me to post her look.  I'm going to have to assume what the colors are.  I would say White Rabbit from the UD Alice in Wonderland palette all over eye, then Alice from the same palette on the lid.  Lastly, I would guess that is UD Gash put wet with a thin brush.

I love the black liner on her waterline.  It really makes the look pop.  Don't ya think?  I can't wait to see if I'm right about the colors!!!!

Look #2 Trouble Makin' Booty Shakin'



What I used to create this look
Urban Decay Jones e/s in all over lid
MAC Saffron e/s from the Surf Baby collection on outer lid and in the crease
MAC Short Shorts e/s from the Surf Baby collection as highlight under eyebrows and in inner corners
Urban Decay Money e/s from the UD loves NY Book of Shadows on inner lower lash line. This part is optional to add a bit of fun to the look.



This is a fool proof look that always looks gorgeous. I think it might be best for those with blue eyes. Orange being Blue's opposite on the color wheel.



Chilly Down!

Look #1 Summer Berry

I always like things that have clever names. (This is why I have all my OPI polishes.)  I'm not claiming that I always come up with anything clever, but the blue and purple of this made me think of berries and, well, it's summer....so Summer Berry.  You can do this with any TWO colors.  Put a coat or two of your first color, wait for it to dry, then carefully paint a French Tip at the top.  Note: This does take a lot of practice so don't think yours will be perfect if it's the first time you are trying this.

On my left hand, I used a matte top coat on my pointer and middle finger.  I usually like to do something different.....just to see if people notice.  I've been doing it since I saw the movie The Fifth Element.  Zorg's secretary has two red nails and the rest are light blue/silver.

On the right hand, I switched the polishes on my ring finger.  Make all of yours the same or give it a little switch up.  Whateve!


I used: OPI "Ogre the Top Blue", OPI for Sephora "Hell to the No".  My top coats are Nubar "Seal & Shine" and Essie's "Matte About You"


For toes: "Ogre the Top Blue", "Hello to the No" and LA Colors Color Craze "Jewel Tone"

I guess you can't see the glitter, but it's there.  I just put the blue on first (since it's lighter) then evened out the middle with the purple since it's darker.  I put two coats of the glitter polish on to finish it up!  (p.s. I didn't realize my toes are so short until I saw this picture.  Wow!)
