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!

Mineral eyeshadow available from www.beautyfromtheearth.com

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.
