Haulin'!!!

Like ballin', but better!!! :) (lame attempt at a joke lol) So I did some shopping this past weekend and picked up so awesome goodies! Some stuff is new to me, so if you've tried any of it, let me know what you think. 

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer- Alaska *new*

MAC Paint Pot- Painterly

L'Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation- Shell Beige *new*

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind (dark circle eraser)- Fair *new*

The Spirograph looking thing in the back is a sketch book I also bought (along with a 2015-16 planner because I totally still use one) from Barnes & Noble. I saw on Pinterest someone had made a "Smashbook" with one and it looked really cool. It's a book you write and put pictures in (like a scrapbook), but without the commitment. You just put a picture in, write a little something and go! When I start mine, I will definitely write a blog, with pictures, on how I did mine! 

Valentine's Day MOTD

I remember when I was in elementary school and Valentine's Day was a major holiday. What kind of cards am I going to get? Am I going to get a lot of cards and candy from my classmates? Am I going to get a "special" card from that boy sitting across from me? Now it's a holiday that really doesn't mean that much to me. I don't expect, nor do I care, if my boyfriend gets me anything. Not like in high school, when you wanted the biggest bear and balloon, so you could hit your enemy in the head with them. ;)

I haven't put a lot of use into my UD Naked 3 palette, so I decided to do a look with it and the colors were perfect for Valentine's Day.

Sam did a MOTN with actual color?!

I grew up in the old school Lisa Frank days, so I LOVE bright colors. But when it comes to my makeup, I'm a very neutral kind of girl. That being said, this look is completely out of my comfort zone. I'm nervous to post it, but proud at the same time that I did something a little different. :)

FOTD-ASU Maroon

In the spirit of ASU beating Washington State (52-31), I decided to to do a subtle maroon look. 

I used MAC's Sketch eyeshadow which is the closest color to maroon I own. The lighting is making it look more purple, but Sketch is beautiful burgundy brown. 

What I used--

-Skin 79 BB Cream: Hot Pink

-Urban Decay Primer Potion

-Urban Decay Naked Palette- Virgin & Sin

-MAC Sketch

-Maybelline Eye Studio gel eyeliner: Blackest Black

-Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner: Zero

-NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder: Crystal

-Maybelline blush: Corsica Coral

-Jordan Best Lashes: Black

- NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss: Salsa

It's a subtle look with Sketch on the outer corner. I don't usually use black eyeliner on my upper lash line, but with this look it works. 

GO ASU! :)
