glitter all over the room

I've been looking forward to OPI's Katy Perry collection forever! I'm not a big fan of her, but the polishes in this collection were to die for! Here's my favorite.


OPI Last Friday Night
This is 2 coats of LFN over 1 coat Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. The polish itself is very sheer- nothing at all like the bottle color. It's a lot less vivid. So, to up the amp, I layered it over a polish closest to the bottle color (Pacific Blue). I love this combo. It's so fun!!

Gorgeous.

I also bought Not Like the Movies and Black Shatter. Do you guys want to see those?

tutorial: a very special request

Csilla from Hungary contacted me a while ago. She got engaged before Christmas, and is planning to get married in August. Csilla asked me if I could make a tutorial for her wedding makeup: a natural look with some purple. Here's my take on her request. Enjoy! :)

Used:
face-
Maybelline concealer
translucent powder
Azalea Blossom
Vanilla pigment

eyes-
NYX Milk
Soft Brown
Brule
Vanilla pigment
Espresso
Yogurt
Beautiful Iris
Satin Taupe
Maybelline One by One mascara
Salon Perfect Stunning lashes

lips-

1. Start with eyebrows and base.

2. Soft Brown in the crease and outer lid.

3. Brule on the lid.

4. Light dusting of Vanilla pigment over Brule.

5. Espresso on outer corners.

6. I use Yogurt with Vanilla pigment over it as my highlight.

7. Soft Brown & Espresso go on the lower lash line, with Satin Taupe as liner. I also used Benefit It Stick on my waterline. Beautiful Iris is in the corners.

8. I then do my face. I chose Azalea Blossom beacuse it has lilac in it, to go along with the purple theme.

9. A glow is a must for your wedding! For my highlight, I used Vanilla pigment on my cheek bones and the bridge of my nose.

10. Mascara

11. Some special lashes- these have gems on them!

12. And we can't forget the perfect wedding day nude lips!

Fairly easy look, no? :)




Congratulations to Csilla!

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!

I love Flip! I think it would look beautiful on every skintone. So, if you don't own Flip, get it!
Sorry all my looks have been boring neutrals. I lightened up my hair a bit, and unfortunately I can't wear as much makeup as I used to without looking gaudy! Win some and lose some...
