Sephora Holiday Look

I slept at 7pm on a Saturday night, what the heck is wrong with me?! I feel like an old lady. The BF calls me at 11pm, and now here I am blogging because I can't go back to sleep! And it's freezing in my house, thank goodness for fuzzy socks and down comforters!

I meant to make this the "Milani eyeshadows only" look (request by Liz) but I left my SD card at work that had the pics on them! (As I did the look on Friday), so instead i'll post the one I did today and add the milani fotd next week. (Sorry Liz!) I also added a 'coming soon' widget to the right hand side to list any upcoming posts so you ladies know what's soon to come here on the site! I hope I remember to update it. I am trying to get a video in here but i've had no time to record one yet...I know im lagging and I apologize to you gals who have submitted things to me and I haven't responded or have done your request, it's a bit hectic on my end!

I walked into a Sephora store about 2 months ago and they had a poster of this model in the window and I remember being in awe (since I love purple and blue) and kept telling myself that I wanna imitate that look. So since I couldn't go back to sleep I thought id play around with it...I didn't have much glittery things to get the lips right, so I opted for a frostier look using only pigments and added some NYX gold glitter for a little sparkle. I ended up not liking it with the eyes so I changed it to "Creme de Femme" and NYC's "Iced Orchid".

It's brighter in person however the flash of my camera tends to wash the color out. :(
