New Orleans Saints Team Colors Inspiration

My Sweety and I were getting ready to watch the Saints game and I was inspired to do an eyeshadow look based on the team colors: Black & Gold. I thought this would be a challenge considering I was fairly certain I didn't have any gold eyeshadow. But as luck would have it, I had forgotten about my BFTE loose mineral shadow in Antique. This is a perfect gold color. For black I used Ulta's pressed shadow Galaxy. I love the teeny tiny sparkly flecks throughout it. For inner corner highlight, and fade into gold color I used Platinum. This color is also a pressed shadow from Ulta. My eyebrow pencil is actually an eyeliner from Ulta in the color Bronze.



To make the sharp black crease I used Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Zero. I took an eyeliner brush, rubbed the pencil on it, and drew the crease. I put Galaxy on top of that and faded up. This method also works well to make sharp "cat eye" wings on the the inner and outer corners of the eye.

The lip liner is an off brand drugstore pencil in color Auburn. I used an Estee Lauder gloss in the color Ginger.









Lip picture was taken indoors... That is why I suddenly have a tan! :)




I did not get a full face picture that I really liked. So here is me and my "niece" Jocelyn. She is a very good friend's daughter. I was taking Halloween pictures for her today.

Mississippi Mud & Honey

My FOTD using BFTE matte mineral eyeshadow Mississippi Mud and sparkle mineral eyeshadow Honey. I wanted a smokey look for the day and Mississippi Mud was the perfect selection. This shadow is a rich deep dark brown. It's a very silky chocolate color, which is also a matte. The shimmery sparkles on my lid comes the mineral shadow Honey. The is a beige-ish sparkly color, with tiny flecks of glittery shimmer in it. I use Honey often because it is so awesome!

Below is a swatch of the eyeshadow colors, lip liner in Cappuccino, lip gloss in Vanilla.

Cupcake Sprinkles Jewelry Set

A friend of mine makes handcrafted jewelry. She uses different molds and a type of acrylic epoxy to create these pieces. She also makes the clasp and earring hooks herself as well.

I put in a custom order for a cupcake sprinkles necklace. I have seen them before on esty. I am SO happy with how this turned out! I love having something unique, and it was made especially for me. I just wanted to share with everyone. :)

The cool factor about this is, anything small enough to fit in the molds can be made into a custom jewelry piece! The possibilities are endless! Just think of all the different types of glitter, charms, etc...





Modeling the Sprinkles :D

Purple and Gold, School Spirit!

I went a friend's homecoming football game this weekend. I went to take pictures of her because she was in the homecoming court. I was feeling the school spirit so I wanted to wear their colors. I really like this color combination. All products used are listed after the pics.





My eye started to water, bleh...






Homecoming was held in the gym due to the rain, and the power was out right up until it started. Thankfully, the rain stayed away for the game later on that evening.
