Minty Smokey Eyes

Hey everyone! I wanted to do a look using Mac's new mineralize eyeshadow "Shimmermint" from the winter Glitter & Ice collection. I'm also using Club eyeshadow which is a color I think everyone loves and needs. This look can be worn for any night time event or holiday party. Have Fun!

Colored Cat eyeliner =^..^=

n this look I used a mixture of Mac and Flirt! cosmetics. I love Flirt! The quality of it is very similar to Mac. They also have similar colors. (Review coming soon)

As far as cat eyes go, there are many ways to create a cat eye. This version is good if you want something quick and simple. If you want a little bit of drama, use a colored eyeliner. Enjoy

For this look I was inspired by my girl Jen. She did a look using silvery colors and I wanted to do my version of her FOTD: She-Zam. I'm in love with this wintery, icy look. Great for the holidays!

I love creating looks on face charts! I made a couple of eye looks on face charts that I will attempt to duplicate on my eyes. Enjoy!! And yes it's another orange looks.. I need to retire that color for a while :(
Now it's not going to look exactly the same because colors are more intense on white paper. I did change a couple things like the liner extended on the inner eye and the darkness of the mascara.

ChinaGlaze : Peachy keen

I don't really care for entries about nails but I thought I'd share this because I've received soooo many compliments on this nail color. I purchased it at Ulta and was actually looking for a specific color (one similar to Ravishing lipstick by MAC.) So basically a very milky peach/salmon. I love this color so much! It gives a nice opaque coverage with a cream finish. Nice and long lasting!

So a few weeks ago I was shopping my stash and I found an old eyeshadow I've had forever. So I've literally been wearing it everyday for the past week and I'm obsessed. I wanted to create a trendy iced out eye. A spring break from a smokey eye. :) ENJOY!
