FOTD: Kelly Green Hysteria

Last night, I was desperately in need of a pick-me-up.  I was so stressed out from school and more school and finals and graduation and everything seemed to be going wrong.  I had an 8 page paper due pretty damn soon, but I was just so burnt out...I NEEDED something else.  So I spent a good hour experimenting, and then another hour and a half taking pictures, cropping, etc.  My mood was considerably better afterwards; it was like night and day.  Makeup really is an art, and for me, it can even be therapy.

So again, I thirsted for color and tried to put something wild together.  Although the look is more colorful than usual, they're actually quite tame, almost pastel colors.  There is no defined crease, so the look is actually quite light despite the presence of bright colors.  I think this is something I would wear out for fun.  To school?  I'd like to but I don't think I have the confidence for it.

I purposely took the picture at this angle so you can see how I deliberately made the
gold in the inner corner a bit messy.  

Hair fluffing fail.  Ended up looking like bedhead instead.

There's a funny story behind this one.  Keep reading down below.

So I was webcamming with my boyfriend while I was doing my makeup and taking pictures afterwards.  Here is the conversation that we had:

Me: *taking pictures of makeup*
Frank: Maybe you should do a wild one.
Me: *makes this face*
Frank: That's one possibility. But if this is for your blog, I would not recommend it.
Me: *laughs*
Frank: I was thinking more like "femme fatale in a jungle of men, tracking her prey". Not "angry dog at neighbors."
Me: *laughs hysterically*
Frank: Please, Janny, stay with me. I don't know what your chances are at a bar.

I seriously almost died laughing.  On a more serious note, I really would not be this far in pursuing my passion if not for his love and support.  So merci, mon François.

This was my best attempt at "femme fatale" after the laughing fest.
I was still on the verge of laughter.

I'm trying a new thing where I actually take a picture of the products I used, so you guys can see if you have something similar in your collection in case you wanted to recreate these looks.  I actually got this idea from Vulcan Butterfly who always takes pics of the equipment.  I hope you guys find this helpful!

Okay, back to slaving away.  My work is never done.  I'm pretty sick of school at this point.  Why do I want to be a teacher again?  I'm not sure.

Lotsa love,

Janny

Playing around with Sugarpill & Falsies

I had a long day yesterday, and I'll have many more to come due to finals, final papers, and so forth.  Still, I squashed in some time yesterday to play with makeup.  This was much needed.  I've been dying to use my Sugarpill pigments that I got back in February when they last had their 20% off sale.  I will absolutely be doing a full review on those once I have played with them some more, because I am in LOVE with the pigments and for sure be buying every single color next time they have a sale and when I start getting paid.

Here's the look:

Yeah, so just don't mind the chunks of dried lash glue everywhere.  It was my second time putting on falsies and I got a little glue happy.  I actually pulled a few of my eyelashes out when removing the lashes. Ouch.

BUT--This look was so much fun to create!  I was in desperate need of some color and drama, since my everyday looks are a little bit toned down for my taste.  If I had the time and the confidence, I'd wear looks like this everyday.  I have craploads of lashes that I bought from ebay that I'm not using because they're bit, fat, and intimidating as hell.  The ones used here are from Duo, and they are the most tame pair of lashes that I have.  I can't wait to play with the other ones some more, now that I have kinda sorta gotten used to them. Yay yay yay!

There are definitely a few things I would have done differently now that I look back at the look.  I would have used Magpie wet, so that it would show up better on the lid (in photos anyway).  Maybe I should have chosen a different inner corner highlight, or brought the lid color a little further in.  In any case, I look forward to doing a lot more looks like these.

Face: 
-Smashbox Foundation in Light 3
-L'oreal TruMatch Foundation in N6
-NYC Matte Bronzer in Sunny

P.S. Yes, I've gotten a little darker lol.  And I know that Amy of Sugarpill sometimes sends out products for bloggers to try, but I'm not one of them ='(.  Just in case you were wondering :)
