Old FOTD

I can't remember when I took these pictures. . .or why they weren't uploaded lol. But I was looking through my old emails [how I transfer my pictures] and discovered these!! I can't remember exactly what I used, but I'm pretty sure I used the NAKED palette on my eyes.

That crease is irritating the crap outta me >.<

A pose I love to do lol

This is a look I'd do for everyday. I probably wouldn't do winged liner all the time, but this pretty much a day-to-day look for me. I love using my NAKED palette for that!! It comes in handy so much!


Are you a neutral or bold color wearer? I used to love color, but now I've been reaching more towards neutrals, they seem so much more classic! Thanks so much for reading!

QOTD && New Blog Poll

I've seen a few people express that they like to have new stuff so the can put it on their blog. I agree with that logic, but sometimes I don't want the new stuff that comes out. There are plenty of MAC collections that I bypass because nothing appealed to me. There have also been drugstore brand collections I've bypassed. If I like something, I will definitely go buy them [see Color Tattoo Shadows], swatch and review them for you. But if I don't think I'll get any use out of it, I won't buy it. Maybe that's just me and maybe my blog will suffer in the long run, but I have enough makeup I do love so there's no need to hoard more junk I won't use lol. I want to know your opinion about it though so I put up a poll on the right. You can answer there and/or answer in the comments. I'd really like to know you guys' thoughts about these things~!

24 Hour Color Tattoo Shadows & Glamour Doll Eyes Haul & Swatches! [[Pic Heavy]]

Hey Loves!!! I hope you are having a great first week of 2012! I wanted to share with you some new goodies I got recently. **NOTE** All pictures are taken with a flash.


First Up: 
Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Eyeshadow [by: EyeStudio]~ Now I don't know about ya'll, but I really love Maybelline eye products and think they are killing a lot of other brands in the drugstore game! I know that's a strong opinion, but they have been my favorite drugstore brand for a long, long time. Their Eye Studio products are comparable to higher end brands. When I heard about the new Color Tattoos I was really excited about it! I racked up at Ulta because they were [and still are, I believe] having a BOGO 1/2 on Maybelline products, so sprint run and get them now! These are really nice bases, the texture is really creamy and smooth, and they're very opaque. You can wear them alone or under a shadow, I've done both. My only suggestion is that you wear a primer under them. I did an experiment and put my UDPP under it on one eye and then put the Color Tattoo on a bare eye. The bare eye creased within a couple of hours, while the eye with the UDPP held up. That's just my experience, I've heard a lot say that they haven't experienced any creasing whatsoever so it could just be my oily lids. Try it out and see for yourself! I have 7 of the 10 colors.


SWATCHES:

Painted Purple

Tenacious Teal

Bold Gold

Edgy Emerald 

Bad to the Bronze

Fierce & Tangy

Pomegranate Punk

Next Up:
Glamour Doll Eyes sample bags~ I first got to try GDE when I received my thrifted goodies [FOTD here] and I fell in love. I'd like to tell you what collections I chose, but the shadows are down at the moment because the owner is having surgery. I wish you a speedy recovery Vee!! I couldn't wait to show you the samples I got. I got 12 and love every one!!



SWATCHES:

Show Off & Juicy Mango~ I realize Juicy Mango is orange in the package, but it swatches pink

Island Chic & Tattooed 

Phyrra & Chocoholic

Bare Naked & Dirty Jeans

Oddity & Boyfriend Sweater

Pistol Pistol & He Loves Me Not

My favorites hands down are Pistol Pistol and Chocoholic!! Island Chic, Oddity, and Pistol Pistol stained my hands slightly after swatching. These are soooo pretty and I cannot wait to order more!


I did an eye look with Pistol Pistol that would've been perfect for NYE!

Have you tried any of these items? Which ones are you thinking of trying out? Thanks for reading!
