Look of the Day

This is my first try with liquid eyeliner. I read a few tutorials and thought I'd give 'er a shot. I don't think I did a half bad idea. I love make up, but I usually don't do a full face of make up. It's generally a sparkly nude palette eye shadow, blush, and a gloss or plain look. I stay at home with the spawn so wearing too much make up while elbow deep in diapers and dishes is a tad on the excessive side for me. This is definitely a look I'll pull out for a Christmas party or other celebration. My next goal is to attempt a more neutral day look for liquid eyeliner.

To start the look I primed my eye and added concealer. Next I brushed on a light eye shadow from a Physician's Formula shimmer strip palette for Hazel eyes (even though mine are green..I break the rules :P). Next I started with a thin line under my top lashes to fill in gaps, and proceeded to use small brush strokes to create a thin straight line. After that dried I went over that same line a second time to darken it up. I added a line on top of that line to thicken it up, extended my flare (with eyes open, not pulling on the lid! That will distort your line and make it uneven) and filled in the triangle.

The liquid eyeliner I used is a black australis liquid eyeliner I received in a beauty swap last year. I used my Essence XXXL mascara. The red lipstick is Milani Red Label.

Better photos to come soon! (:

Beauty Routines and the Other Side


When I get ready in the mornings my bathroom counter is a disaster. Make up, brushes, wash cloths, toilet paper smudged in eyeliner, cleansers, moisturizers – it looks like I had my way with Sephora. Have you ever wondered what your husband or significant other thought about the products you use? There are quite a few times in my life I've received a "what the heck are you doing to yourself?" look. Especially high school..during my beauty experimenting phases (burn all the photos!!). Funnily enough, my husband does know because his mother is amazing with hair and nails. Few things are a mystery to him – so this weekend I’ll be asking my 10 year old son what he thinks the following products are and their uses. I want you all to do the same! It could be interesting to see what your significant other thinks about your beauty routine and why you do the things you do!

Tape a video, take photos, type your responses, whichever method you choose. Show your significant  other the ten following beauty items and record their responses! I’m certain we’ll all be in for a good laugh and maybe a surprise or two. I’ll post the best responses on the blog this Saturday!

These are products I use often or have at some point that go beyond your generic foundation and blush. Here’s what I think I you should pull out and show your S/O if you have it. If not, just show them these photos and see what they think! I'll post a list of what they are the end of the article.
