Eye of the Day: Retrograde Pixie Dust


Yeah, no, not dead yet! Just overly distracted by new TV Shows. I don't know if that's bad or not. Sleepy Hollow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Once Upon A Time... Plus I've also taken to Modern Family, which I never watched before until recently. WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN WATCHING THIS BEFORE?!

Ahem, other then that. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know last Saturday I wore a dress to work. Out of my comfort zone. But I did it, and I'm doing it again this Saturday. Truth be told, this dress is actually a dress that I wanted as soon as I saw it in Target. I have NEVER wanted a dress before, but it's the type that I was just drawn to, I think because from afar it looked like a matte leather due to the embossed fabric.

Enough of that though, the main purpose of this post is an eye look that I have been wearing rather often. It was actually one of those "lets see if it'll work" and I get nothing, but compliments when I do wear it. 

Products Used:
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion
  • Beaming Reflection from the PixiGlow Collection
  • Walk of Shame from Urban Decay Naked Basics (Not Pictured)
  • Urban Decay Stardust in Retrograde
  • Urban Decay Stardust in Void
  • e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner in Black
  • Crave from Urban Decay Naked Basics (Not Pictured)
  • Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash Mascara in Blackened Brown

Eye of the Day: The Crash of Honey

The Crash of Honey. The Crash of Honey? I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I came up with that one, but I'm going with it!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a fantastic Labor Day weekend if you are state side, if not, I still hope you all have a fantastic weekend! For me... I'll be attempting to make home made marshmallows tomorrow being my work schedule this weekend is backwards. No work Saturday, but working Sunday. However! I'm off Monday xD The goal for this weekend besides marshmallows is to organize my nail polishes... I'm actually going to even attempt a spreadsheet for them.

My second goal is to get more reviews up. I've been slacking on them and I even know that. So I'm hoping this weekend, especially Monday, I'll be able to catch up.

Before I start rambling, on to the eye of the day! This is the look I wore yesterday to work.

Favorites: June 2013


Tada! June Favorites! Better late than never right? I apologize for the lack of posts recently, the past week has been a bit much to absorb, a lot of sadness, a lot of confusion and mostly me going "what the heck is going on?!".

With that said and a simple intro, so I'm just going to jump right into my favorites :D


Urban Decay Naked Basics [review]
The long-awaited, multipurpose MATTE companion to Naked is the palette everyone needs in their beauty arsenal. With six versatile and extremely wearable Naked shades, it has everything you need for the perfect neutral matte eye—including four totally new and exclusive shades. It all comes in a sleek compact embossed with a pretty, metallic NAKED on the front that has a slight sheen and suede-like feel that begs to be touched. Best of all, the slim design is perfect for travel, so you’ll never have to be without these must-have shades. 

This has been my go to palette for the entire month of June just about besides another eyeshadow that's on here. I've used it to the point that I have put a dent into Faint! I absolutely love this palette.

Wet n Wild Coverall Cream Foundation in Fair [review]
Glides on weightlessly for sheer-to-medium coverage that’s never heavy, chalky, or dull. Evens out flaws with a silky, semi-matte finish that let’s your skin’s natural luminescence shine through. Contains SPF 15 for the ultimate in anti-aging treatment.
Made it once again into my favorites, seriously love, love, love this foundation! This is actually my second one :o!

Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in Fair [review]
Maracuja creaseless concealer offers long-lasting, full coverage in a rich, creamy texture with pure, skin-soothing, and anti-aging ingredients. This velvety concealer is also ideal for masking discoloration and imperfections such as acne/blemishes, redness, scars, hyperpigmentation, and dark circles. This nutrient-rich, blendable, liquid concealer brightens and restores skin’s natural luster, leaving you with a flawless complexion.
Once I warmed up to this concealer, I love using it when I have the extra time and am not in a rush. This is one concealer that doesn't give me much trouble, only when applying because it likes to shift a tad when I'm patting it in.

Wet n Wild Mega Impact Mascara [review]
Make an IMPACT! This revolutionary mascara formula provides EXTREME volume and length with a silicon complex that provides elasticity and flexibility. Proven to enhance the natural lash up to 8X, this all-in-one formula is enriched with Kernel Oil to permeate and condition each lash to promote healthy, strong hairs while adding color and shine.
This has been, just about, the only mascara that I used during June, especially during the work week. No smudges, no budging, no raccoon eyes. All a plus for me!

Milani Eye Shadow Primer [review]
Intensifies and extends the wear of any shadow, over 8 hour wear. A lightweight invisible finish works on all skin tones. The primer helps provide a seamless canvas for eyeshadow application and minimizes creasing throughout the day.   Makes any cream or powder eyeshadow long-wearing!
I used this through the entire month of June! Normally I'd reach for something else, but this was what I constantly reached for in order to keep my eye shadow fresh looking.

M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Club [rediscovered]

This is an eye shadow that I had for about 2 years, and during the end of May, I picked it back up again. To be honest, I don't even know why I never bothered with this one in the first place. IT IS AMAZING! When I wasn't using Urban Decay Naked Basics, I used Club, with and without a dark base. It's absolutely stunning either way. Plus I always get compliments when wearing it. Plus, plus, plus!

Ruby Wing Summer Collection in Groupie [review]
If you love the beach even though your life doesn't always feel like a day at one, and celebrate life and everything it has to offer – there's now a nail polish that celebrates you.   Ruby Wing is every free-spirit's dream: color changing nail polish that transforms in sunlight.   Our color changing technology lets you switch your style from day to night, indoors to outdoors.   Each one of our shades dramatically change in direct sunlight and then back again once inside.
This is probably, just about, the only nail polish color I wore during June. Save for nail art, I constantly went for this one simply because it's a neon pink that doesn't go matte when dried!


Non-Beauty Related Favorite of the Month

Ignore the finger prints! I need to get a shield still.
My Nook HD+! I got this on sale during Father's Day and I take it with me EVERYWHERE. On Saturdays when I'm at work, I have my music blaring out of this instead of my MP3 player (yeah, I don't have a fancy iPod). I love, love, love this. I'm always playing some type of game on it, plus reading, Yes, reading. I read xD Although I do prefer my Kindle over the Nook when it comes to the reading aspect, which is why I love the fact that you can download the Kindle app and have access still to that account :D

Review: Urban Decay Naked Basics




Yes, I'm late to the party with this one, and I'm sure everyone has seen plenty of review for Urban Decay Naked Basics, but I'm still doing one!

Urban Decay Naked Basics
I won this from an instagram giveaway that nuclear_beauty held (thank you so very much again!), I was beyond estatic when I got it in the mail, along with the other prizes that will have their own reviews.

So without me rambling on further, on to the review!

Press Release: Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray

B6 VITAMIN-INFUSED
COMPLEXION PREP SPRAY
Calm a multitude of sins with each spritz.

THE SKINNY: Just when our high-tech Makeup Setting Sprays were getting a little lonely on the shelf, our product development team had the brilliant idea to create an antioxidant-rich prep spray. In an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, Urban Decay launches B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray. This scientifically advanced formula contains the FIRST stabilized form of vitamin B6, which absorbs oil, minimizes pores and reduces redness. Spritz it on any time of day to hydrate, prep and soften your skin with vitamins and antioxidants. Use it in the morning to prep and “wake up” your skin, during the day to refresh your skin (without messing up your makeup), or at night before your treatment. Versatile enough for people of all ages and skin types (MEN included!), this energizing formula is great for your skin AND it feels amazing. And the more you use it, the better the results!

THE PROOF: In an 8-week clinical study of B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray:
  • Over 81% of participants had a measurable reduction in oil and surface shine.
  • Over 78% had more radiant skin with less redness and fewer blemishes.
  • A majority of participants had a measurable improvement in pore size.
  • Over 72% had a measurable improvement in their skin’s overall appearance. 
HYPE: This stuff is ADDICTIVE! It’s been making the rounds in our office, and even the people who don’t really “get it” at first wind up loving it. But the real test was when we brought some to Tim, our CEO. Ever the skeptic, he thought we were nuts—but once he tried it, he LOVED it. That’s when we knew we had a huge hit on our hands.

NICE PACKAGE: B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray comes in a sleek, soft-touch bottle (dark purple, of course) with a bright neon-green sprayer. Like our setting sprays, it emits a calibrated, microfine mist that goes on so light, you’ll hardly feel it.
BREAK IT DOWN: This nourishing spray is loaded with ingredients that are good for your skin. Vitamin B6 helps normalize overactive cell-signaling proteins (called cytokines) to help control sebum production, vitamin E provides antioxidants, and willow bark (rich in natural salicylic acid) aids cell turnover. And it’s oil- and paraben-free.

B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray (SRP $33) is available from Sephora, ULTA and select
Macy’s stores. Or, online at sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com, beauty.com and urbandecay.com.

Pictorial: Rockstar Venus Eye of The Day


Pictorial time! This one is for the eye of the day that I posted here from June 15th. I've dubbed it Rockstar Venus, I originally was going to dub it Half Baked Rockstar, but I didn't know how that would pan out haha. 

I ever, so slightly made two changes to it, only because I couldn't find one product (it went MIA) and I accidentally grabbed a different mascara. Neither one really make that big of a difference though. 

So lets start!


Step 1. Priming the eye. I used Milani's Eye Primer. Let it dry for thirty seconds (or more), otherwise if you apply shadow too quickly without letting it set, there will be creasing (I learned the hard way when I first tried it).


Step 2. I started off applying Urban Decay Half Baked (mine is from the Get Baked mini palette) to the center of the eye lid, avoiding the outer and inner corner. Then doing the same to below the lower lash line. This is entirely personal preference though. You can take Half Baked or anything close to it all over the eye lid if you want.


Step 3. Next is Urban Decay Rockstar (from the Mariposa palette), starting at the bare area of the outer corner, then blending it into the crease. I actually trailed it along the crease so that it would almost go into the inner corner. This is just something that I like to do when I'm using a gold-ish color, I just use a smaller brush so that it isn't blending into the gold near the inner corner. Back to the outer corner, I slowly start to build up Rockstar and blend it into Half Baked, bringing it closer to the center of the eye lid, but ending it before hit reaches there. And again, bringing Rockstar down to the lower lash line and blending it into the Half Baked that is there.


Step 4. Taking Urban Decay Crave (from Naked Basics), I only blended this into the outer V. Then repeated the same to the lower lash line, only blending it into the very outer corner there.


Step 5. Next is the inner corner! Using Urban Decay Venus (from Naked Basics), I blended this up into Half Baked, and ever so slightly into the edge of Rockstar. Repeating the same process to the lower lash line.

Step 6. (Not Pictured) Blending Walk of Shame, which matches my skin tone, from Rockstar up to the brow bone to get rid of any harshness above the crease. I normally go back and forth between Walk of Shame and Rockstar above the crease in order to get the right amount of smokiness that I want.


Step 7. Lining the eyes. Originally I had used e.l.f. cream eyeliner on the upper lashes, but I couldn't find it, so I just smudged Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eyeliner in Rockstar into the lashes, then lined the lower water line with it as well.

Step 8. (not pictured and optional) Curl lashes! I actually did this when I originally did the eye look, but didn't do it with the pictorial.


Step 9. And this is where I grabbed the wrong mascara, no biggie though. I used Maybelline The Falsies Volum'Express Big Eyes Mascara (lower lashes) and Wet n Wild Mega Impact Mascara for the upper lashes (2 coats). And then done!

This is a quick post like graphic says. I got home late from work, hence why, quick post! :D Good news is, I think I finally figured out how to keep my curls in so that they don't fall.

If anyone would like to see a pictorial for this, please let me know! I'll probably do it anyway :D

Pictorial: Club Naked II


I'm baaack with my pictorials! Haha! This is actually the look I've been wearing on Thursdays when I work the late shift at work. I've actually received quite a few compliments on it as well (there's a SHOCK!). So, instead of doing a step by step from just two photos, I quickly redid the look for a pictorial :D


First before anything, I primed my eyes with Milani Eyeshadow Primer and allowed that to set for 30 seconds.

Next, I used PIXI Shell Sheen in the inner corner, on the upper lid and below as well. Then taking Brun Beam I filled in the rest of the lid, also taking it along the lower lash line.

After that, I used MAC's Club (if you don't have this, I'm not sure, but check out Wet n Wild's Comfort Zone palette, there could be an alternative to use there) all over where I had placed Brun Beam. I took Club slightly into Shell Sheen just so that the inner corner color would have a good transition. I also brought Club up above the crease slightly for the next step...

Taking Naked 2 from Urban Decay's Naked Basics palette, I placed that above the crease as a transition color. I went in with a couple of swipes until I was satisfied with it.

Inner corner time! I used Venus again from the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. Placing it anywhere that I had placed Shell Sheen, and blending it into Club.

Next, taking an angle brush I used e.l.f.'s Cream Eyeliner in Black to line my upper lash line. Then used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Rockstar on my lower water line.

Not pictured is the mascara I used, which is Maybelline's new The Falsies Big Eyes Duo Mascara (review to come!) I also forgot to curl my lashes (d'oh!). Two coats to the upper lashes and one coat to the lower lashes. Then you're done!

Favorites: May 2013


It's that time again! After a rather hellish day at work (do not get me started, trying to do the om thing and calm myself still), I mentioned previously that I skipped April Favorite because I only had two, and I didn't feel as if that was enough to do an April Favorites.

This time, I actually have more <cue cackling>, plus a non-beauty favorite :O! What could it be?!


Urban Decay Glinda Eyeshadow Palette
Graceful, fearless and bewitchingly beautiful, Glinda is the kind of witch we aspire to be. Inspired by the "good witch" from the upcoming movie OZ: The Great and Powerful, this palette includes shadow colors, eye pencil color and lip color - in short everything you need to create Glinda's spellbinding look, along with countless other looks.
This is THE palette that I have been primarily using through the month of April and May. I've also used it quite a few times in pictorials. I didn't a review on it because I figured everyone has seen it, and probably is tired of the views. But if anyone would like to see a review on here for it, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to do so. 

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar
This waterproof eye pencil delivers smooth, creamy, long-lasting color that glides onto skin without skipping or tugging.
Rockstar came with the Glinda palette, and I have to say I love using this eye liner for smudging and lining my water line more so than black eyeliner. Because it's a eggplant color (deep wine/purple) it tends to make my green eyes pop more than with regular black eyeliner.

Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Glinda
Rich and creamy lipstick with insane amounts of high-gloss shine—all captured in one chubby pencil.
As the color suggests, this was the High Gloss that came with the Glinda Palette, and it is/was exclusive to it as well. Because it's such a neutral color, I love wearing it when I have a smokey eye going on.

Wet n Wild Coverall Cream Foundation in Fair [review]
Glides on weightlessly for sheer-to-medium coverage that’s never heavy, chalky, or dull. Evens out flaws with a silky, semi-matte finish that let’s your skin’s natural luminescence shine through. Contains SPF 15 for the ultimate in anti-aging treatment.
Yes, this is the only foundation that I have been using during the month of May! Actually the one in the photo is nearly finished as well, I ended up getting a back-up once I'm done.

NYX Butter Gloss in Cherry Pie [review]
Add a little more sweetness to your lips with a touch of the Butter Lip Gloss available in 12 scrumptious colors! Get creamy sheer to medium coverage on your lips without that sticky sensation. It’s perfect for every sweet tooth!
Yes, this was in a favorites before and I still love it! For me it's the perfect red that actually works well with my skintone without being over the top.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush in Rose [review]
Irresistibly Sexy Blushing Glow: Wear this perfect blend of shimmery blushing tones like lingerie for your face for an instant sexy boost with an alluring blushing glow.
Sexy Boosting Formula: infused with the scent of warm vanilla, "afterglow" illumination and pheromone-mimicking ingredients including clinically tested Androstadienone, Cocoa Extract (aka "the Love Chemical") and ancient aphrodisiac Horny Goatweed to enhance your sexy side.
Besides using a tint a tiny handful of times, this is mainly the only blush I have been using during the month of May, which is odd because I do have other blushes! But I absolutely love this one, not to mention the scent!

Studio Gear Cosmetics Impactfull Pro T.L.S. Mascara [review]
Studio tested, high impact Pro T.L.S. Mascara by Studio Gear THICKENS, LENGTHENS and SEPARATES the lashes, delivering maximum fullness and flare.
I definitely LOVE this mascara. I'm actually not sure, but I think I'm nearly running on E :( I've been using it sparingly since, but I'm honestly gearing up to just purchasing the full size. Although I am leery of that for reasons.


Orly Nail Lacquer in Mayhem Mentality
Take risks. Rock opposites. Start a riot with envy-inciting style. Now is the time to blur the line between energetic and outrageous - with Mash Up, the Summer 2013 collection from ORLY.
Although the formula for Orly polishes do not like my nails (instant chipping), I absolutely ADORE this color. It's like a neon-tangerine color. This was actually my polish to transition from springy colors to hot weather colors. Which certain, nameless folk at work do not like.


Non-Beauty Favorite... Drum Roll

Courtesy of Google
The Hobbit!

Yes, even though I started watching it late May, I have been kicking myself for not watching it sooner. I adored the Lord of the Rings movies, books as well as The Hobbit, but I didn't see the film adaption in the theater when it was released. Definitely something odd for me being I saw Fellowship of the Ring 15 times in theater (I'm quite serious, I have the stubs to prove it! I even dressed up as an elf for The Two Towers :O). And right now, like many of the fans, I'm eagerly awaiting the trailer for Desolation of Smaug! AH! Such a long wait!

Have any May Favorites of your own?
Definitely feel free to share, if you have a blog or even a YouTube, feel free to link to the post/video in the comments, I'll check them out!

Eyes of the Day: Naked 2 Venus

I'm back with my eyes of the day or eye of the day, whichever works better! 

I can happily say that I have in my possession the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette now! Huge, huge thanks goes to nuclear_beauty on instagram who held the giveaway!

Going to work on Saturday, I knew that I wanted to do a nice smokey eye, but a neutral smokey eye. Normally I go for the metallics, shimmers and glitters type of smokey eyes, but due to the fact that Saturday was going to be rather crazy at work, I wanted to tone it down. 

I apologize in advance for not doing a pictorial for this look, I was in a rush having to be at work by 4:30pm :x

Products Used
  • Milani Eyeshadow Primer
  • Urban Decay Naked Basics
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar
  • Studio Gear Impactfull Pro T.L.S. Mascara

Step 1. I primed the lids using Milani's Eyeshadow Primer (review on this tomorrow!). Waited 30 seconds for the primer to set.

Step 2. After the primer set, I tight lined (using the Q-Tip method) my upper lash line with Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Rockstar. Normally I just shut the eye and smudge, but I've come to notice that this is the cause of the flaking I've been experiencing. And here I was blaming my mascaras!

Step 3. I then took Venus from the palette and used that as my inner corner highlight.

Step 4. Then taking Faint all over the lid leaving a small space between Faint and Venus because I wanted a blending color between the two. I also took Faint above the crease slightly.

Step 5. The blending color between Venus and Faint, I used Naked 2. It comes across as a light color but is easily buildable, perfect bridge between the two.

Step 6. Getting that smokiness. Using Crave, I slowly blended it into Faint going towards the center of the lid, trying to get it as close to the lash line as possible, and then taking it into the crease.

Step 7. For the brow bone and to blend the remaining Faint above the crease, I used Walk of Shame.

Step 8. Lined the lower lash line to mimic my lid, then used Rockstar on the lower water line.

Step 9. Curl the lashes!

Step 10. Added two coats of Studio Gear Impactfull Pro T.L.S. Mascara.

End result?

Of course I can't get away without my mascara TRYING to act like eye liner. Sigh. This happens when I'm in a hurry ;x

Tutorial: Iron Man Mark 25 Inspired Eye Make-up

It's that time again! Yup, I have another Iron Man inspired pictorial. I had this one planned ever since I saw the movie, it was just the matter of trying to figure out what Mark it was. I'm still not entirely certain, but I went with the Mark 25.

Courtesy of Google
If you look at the official Iron Man 3 game, the Mark 25 is mainly a dark charcoal/blue hued suit that has a vivid green arc reactor installed, not your typical arc reactor as it appears as a thin-ish slit in the chest plate. The eyes and accents on the helmet though also glow the same vivid green. Not to mention there's also yellow/gold to the armor as well. I originally thought the suit I saw in the movie (briefly), that it was a different suit, couldn't find any images of what I thought I saw, so the yellow/gold comes at the very end of the tutorial.

Started off with two bases. I wanted to make sure that green popped and the charcoal was dark enough. I put Pixi's Shell Sheen along the lash line of my lid, along the inner corner and half way along my lower lash line on the bottom. Then taking Pixi's Brun Beam Everywhere else up to the crease and the other half of the lower lash line. I tried to blend in, but both had already dried. Erk!

Next up, the green! After going through all my greens and not really finding that "neon green" color, I ended up finding this one from Wet n Wild from the I Dream of Greenie trio shadow set. It's the Eye Lid color. Super duper soft shadow that breaks all over the place when I close the lid. Anyway! I placed it all over the area where I placed shell Sheen, leaving the very inner corner bare. Also took it along Shell Sheen on the lower lash line. I went over this a few times to get it really vivid.

The charcoal next! I used e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow in Dusk, placing it where Brun Beam is. Also taking it along Brum Beam on the lower lash line, meeting it with the Green from above. I then went over the green again.

For the inner corner, I didn't use the blue shift from Aura as I normally would, being the arc reactor is green, I stuck to the I Dream of Greenie trio, and used the light green labeled Brow Bone. Blending it a little bit into Dusk.

Taking South from Urban Decay's Glinda palette, I blended that into the crease and above. To blend out South, I used Illusion (not pictured) from the same palette.

Two black liners like from the last pictorial. I tight lined my upper lash line using Studio Gear Invicible Gel Liner in Invincible Onyx, then to line my lower water line, I used Rimmel London's Blackmail.

After that for Mascara I used e.l.f. Volume Plumping Mascara on the upper and lower lashes. 

A minor tweek that I did was add in a yellow to the inner corner, for this I used the Brow Bone from Wet n Wild's Bright Idea trio. End Result?
