10-21-12 EOTD - Wet n' Wild Flora palette

hey u! =) so i'm still kinda excited 'bout the jam packed weekend the hubby and i had! on Saturday we went to the state fair and we got to see a free concert...NAS! it was an awesome experience! and we ate sooo much food that it ain't even funny lol. we also watched our first pig race! sue weee! it was surprisingly fun! they even swam! =) it was def a kodak moment. i was just disappointed that i didn't take any pictures of the makeup i wore that day. and i actually loved it! then today, sunday the 21st, we hosted our first family pumpkin carving contest! and i'm happy to announce that it was a complete success! yay! =) delicious food, yummy halloween treats, and amazing company...who could ask for more! for today's Eye Of The Day, i used my wet n' wild flora trio. this trio came out for springtime 2012. i was lucky enough to get both sets!

the flora trio comes with a light, shimmery yellow green eyeshadow, a shimmery emerald green eyeshadow, and a matte orange eyeshadow. i used the emerald green on my lid, over a black base and the matte orange on my crease. then i used a little bit of the matte brown eyeshadow, from the i <3 matte palette, on my crease to darken it up a bit. and as always, to finish up my look, i used my favortie lashes #205 by eylure. on my lips i used wet n' wild's Bare It All megalast lip color, one of my faves, topped off with my too faced lipgloss in Pillow Talk. i've been diggin' this combo lately! and as i mentioned in a previous post, i've been totally loving wet n' wild beauty products! right now i'm on the hunt for the new limited edition eight pan palette in Shimmer The Night Away. i haven't had any luck yet but i'm hoping i'll find it before it's sold out.
until next time....thanks for stopping by!

10-3-12 EOTD - Wet n' Wild Vanity palette

hey u! =) so today the hubs and i went out to eat and this was the Eye Of The Day that i sported. i used my Wet n' Wild Vanity palette, which i wore religiously this past summer 2012!
 

 
i used four eyeshadows from the Vanity palette: the three matte eyeshadows and the bottom shimmery shadow. my lashes, by eylure #205, finished off this 'daytime smoky' look. i was pretty content with the outcome of this look considering we only went out to grab a quick bite to eat. this is usually a look i sport when i go out at night. i love this palette because since the colors are more on the neutral side, there are a variety of looks that can be created! it's just too bad that this palette is no longer available. hopefully Wet n' Wild will come out with something similar, in the near future. now that i've done a look for each of the four Wet n' Wild 6 pan palettes, i think i'll move on to their limited edition springtime eyeshadow trios! stay tuned for that! and as always, thanks for stopping by! until next time...

Accessories Of The Day: 9-15-12 AOTD

hey u! so this past weekend my hubby and i attended a baptism, which gave me a reason to "dress up", so i was very excited. the reason i say that is because most of my life i've been a tomboy so i never really dress "girly" or wear any accessories. and lately i've been dying to sport different accessories so this was the perfect opportunity. the only downside to this was that i realized that i didn't have much of a selection to choose from. but at least now i know what to add to my bday/xmas/anniv wishlist this year. yay!  =)  

i wore brown capris slacks with a teal top along with these butterfly earrings and this cute charm bracelet. and i finished off my outfit with this super cute clutch, which i got for xmas last year. it's from Charlotte Russe! on my feet i wore a pair of open toe sandals with a small heel, perfect to walk in all night long. and as always, i splashed on some of my favorite perfume, Carolina Herrera 212. i never leave home without it! since i take forever to get ready, i didn't have any time to style my hair so i just wore it down. but after drinking a few Coronas i got hot and put my hair up in a ponytail....FAIL. lol! my hubby and i had an awesome time. the food was amazing and they played good music! i can't wait to go out again! until next time...thx for stopping by!

9-18-12 EOTD - Wet n' Wild Greed palette

hey u! this past summer i've been totally into neutral eyeshadows! i've been pairing them up with bold lip colors, which i'm loving! a few of my favorite neutral shades come from the Wet n' Wild Greed palette. i used my greed palette to create today's Eye Of The Day. =) last month i also did a tutorial with this palette but it's a different look than this EOTD because i used a black liquid eyeliner and another eyeshadow as well. (youtube.com/flutterinbutterfly23).

this WnW 6 pan palette contains three matte eyeshadows and three shimmery ones, like most six pan palettes. i used two matte shades, on my lid and crease, and one shimmery shade on my tear duct. and of course i added some lashes to dress up the look! the lashes i used are from e.l.f. i've been totally diggin' the eyelashes from eyes.lips.face! i'm glad i still have a few left. the only complaint i have about the wnw greed palette is that the purplish shadow is not pigmented at all. at least not mine. =( i've seen swatches of this eyeshadow on google and this shade looks sooo pigmented so i am a little bummed out that my shade isn't. especially since PURPLE is my favorite color! but oh well, it is what it is. until next time...
thx for stopping by!

hey u! so in July i entered a CHANEL Inspired Purse Giveaway on you tube, hosted by Misela: MakeupByMisela, and to my surprise i won! yipee! <3 it's always exciting to win something bcuz it feels like xmas came early. =)  and since i've been on the hunt for a black purse, this giveaway prize really came in handy! this CHANEL inspired purse is black with gold chain wrapped around the strap. the strap is adjustable so it can be worn over the shoulder or on your arm. 

 

i've mainly owned black purses but in the past couple years i've gravitated towards colorful ones. and i recently noticed that i don't own any black purses anymore so i'm beyond exstatic to add this pretty handbag to my collection. although this purse is medium size, it is very spacious! it has several compartments to fit all the necessities. it's perfect for everyday use or for a night out, whether it be a girls night out or date night. so with that being said, i can't wait to start using this handbag. and since i've been loving purses lately, i know what i'll be aking Santa for this Christmas! =) thanks again Misela! i really do appreciate it! <3 until next time...

Wet n' Wild Purple~licious Lips

hey u! so i recently started combining lip colors, which i never did before bcuz i was too ocd about getting my lipsticks dirty :/ lol, and i've been loving it! not only am i creating new shades but i'm also using lipsticks that i haven't used before, due to the fact that i didn't like that color. so now i can honestly say that i use all the lipsticks that i own. this summer i've been totally loving wet n' wild cosmetics! mainly their eyeshadows, mega last lip colors, and their blushes! the two mega last lip colors, by wet n' wild, that i combined are Ravin' Raisin 916D and Dollhouse Pink 967. 

 
i applied Ravin' Raisin to the outer corners and Dollhouse Pink in the center. then i just used my lips to blend the two colors together. although the two lip colors are beautiful, individually, i think they are prettier when used together! i'm really diggin' this lipstick combo bcuz i love me some purple! i've been wearing this combo for the past couple weeks. i'm so excited to start combining other lip colors! my sister purchased Ravin' Raisin at her local Albertsons and gave it to me and Dollhouse Pink was a gift from my awesome friend Emily M. = SuPpErMiZzFrEsH86. thanks again Q! <3 
thx for stopping by! until next time...

8-28-12 EOTD - Wet n' Wild Pride palette

hey u! so todays bright Eye Of The Day was created using my wet n' wild pride palette. the wet n' wild pride palette contains three matte eyeshadows and three shimmery eyeshadows. the matte eyeshadows: white, green~teal, and dark~navy blue, are by far my fave! i guess bcuz i've been into matte eyeshadows lately. 

i used my favorite e.l.f. lashes to finish off this look, which i'm really pleased with! i believe wet n' wild has really stepped up their game! i'm loving all their mega last lip colors as well as their eyeshadow palettes! they are so pigmented and the colors are gorgeous! i def need to try more of their products! i have a few nail polishes and blushes too, which i'm also loving! i can't seem to get enough of their awesome AND inexpensive products! *sigh* =) thx for stopping by! until next time...
