Fyrinnae Mad Tea Party






Today I used a few of the eye shadows from the Fyrinnae Mad Tea Party collection...I really like the color payoff on these colors..

Treacle-Well A vibrant, nearly-matte orange leaning toward yellow rather than red.
Painted Roses   Sparkly, glimmering deep coral 
Rapunzel Had Extensions  Stunning golden pink-peach
Orion's Belt       Off-white with green shimmer and light mauve sparkle
Cheshire Cat Grin   Bright, striking royal filled with blue sparkle

I used a primer on eyes
I used Orion's Belt in inner corner of eyes
Treacle - Well patted on lid
Painted roses in crease
Rapunzel Had Extensions to highlight
I lined with Cheshire Cat Grin wet on top and bottom half.  I blended out the bottom half.
The bottom inner half was Rapunzel Had Extensions wet..blended that out too...
Curled lashes and use a couple coats of Revlon mascara

Face I used Revlon Color Stay foundation in Medium beige
I then dusted Fyrinnae finishing powder for oilier skin
I then applied mac blush in peachy keen
I put a little of Aromaleighs Twilight Powder in Lustre on cheeks and forehead
Lips I used a little chapstick and followed with YSL Rouge Pur lipstick in 22 (one of my favorites)

I am happy with the complete look.  The shadows are nice and bright and so easy to apply....I think I matched the foundation pretty well also....When I went outside it look rather well...I want to see how well the foundation lasts thru the day....It is raining here so I couldn't do anything outdoors...
I do have to day that YSL has the best lipsticks.....very pricey but so gorgeous in colors....

I also bought at Walgreens today Revlon Colorstay foundation for combo/oily skin....I have heard so many great things about this product. I am usually a mineral foundation person but I thought that I would give this a try to mix things up a little...I bought the color medium beige so tomorrow I will be trying this out along with a mad tea party combo....I love forward to hearing your comments.....

Skin care dilemma

Ok.........I am always trying to figure out the best moisturizer with sunscreen to use on my face...I just can't seem to get this right....I have been breaking out as of late and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.....I would love to find something economical that works really good...I am 41 yrs. old and get believe I still break out....I have been trying stuff that I have seen in the instyle magazine that is suppose to be good...
Cetaphil cleanser
Clinique toner
Usually clinique dramatically different moisturizer for combo skin...then I top with sunscreen..
Now today for a moisturizer I am trying Garnier Nutritioniste skin renew daily moisture lotion.
I tried this before and didn't know if I really liked it or not...I decided to try it again because my skin is going crazy....
I would like to try some natural products that won't break the bank...Skin care is so expensive and I am wearing out trying to find a good one...

What does anyone think...Ideas suggestions........I have tried highend to lowend and have never found the perfect one....

Bright Shadow Look




Today I wanted to do something different with my makeup....So here is what I did...I received my new fyrinnae foundation in superpower matte in the color Pyrite and the finishing powder in oil control...

So I started with Aromaleigh concealer #6 on lids and under eyes and anything else that needed touching up.
Then with a kabuki brush I applied the Pyrite foundation
Then I went over with the oil control powder
I then used fyrinnae blush in charm applied with a fiber optice brush

The inspiration for the eyes today came from a blog called Doe Deere blogazine....Obviously the models is gorgeous but here is my take

I applied a primer on lid and then on top of that a Nyx jumbo crayon from lid to brows in yellow..
I then applied Aromaleigh's livewire wet from lid to brow (glittery yellow)
Then from lid to crease I applied a bright pink from a company called Glittersniffer that I found on etsy...they do mineral cosmetics...I used their shadow called Roxy...
I used a swirling motion to blend the shadows....
I lined the top lash line with black liner and the bottom I used wet Aromaleigh severina (sea green) to line the bottom half of lid and then Aromaleigh livewire dry for the bottom inner corner...I applied black mascara after I curled my lashes....I then set my look with Mac
s Charged Water.  I used Mac Style Minx from the Heatherette collection on my lips and there you have it...not to shabby I think....

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!!!!
