It's Alive!!!!

Happy Halloween Blogerettes! I hope everyone had a pleasant and spooky weekend! I come baring most excellent news...we were officially approved for our apartment today. Squee, I cannot wait to finally have much needed space to do more nails, make up, reviews, and the like. Now, back to business. I told myself for the longest time that I would not even think about purchasing China Glaze It's Alive because I was so in love with Zombie Zest from last years Halloween collection. But nail polish is addicting and that beautiful murky glitter green was eventually a part of my collection. It's Alive is easily a part of my top ten favorite nail polishes of all time. It isn't a hungry glitter and once top coat is applied the sparkle is so intense. To avoid doing more than two coats, therefor not making removal an epic pain, I decided to layer it over Color Club Nouveau Vintage. N.V. is a beautiful green/brown/bronze duochrome.

 Flash to show off the bronze deliciousness with a hint of green. 2 coats Nouveau Vintage.

Show off more of the green undertones.

Two coats of It's Alive over Nouveau Vintage.

So much green love! On Saturday night my boyfrann and I went to a Halloween party. He dressed as John Goodman's character in The Big Lebowski and at the last minute I decided to do a quickie sugar skull look. Here's a quick cell phone shot of my make up!

Nothing too spectacular. All makeup is Sugarpill and all the black liner is Inglot gel liner in 77. Check out my uber hot Betsey Johnson necklace! Now I think I will nap on this fine Halloweenie day! Stay safe out there!

Goldilux

With my crazy work schedule I rarely have time to do makeup let alone bright makeup. So when I get to close you better believe I bust out my Sugarpill, lol. This look features Sugarpill's Chromalust pigment in Goldilux, the brightest most intense gold you'll ever find/need/want. Goldilux was applied wet with my handy dandy eyedrops. I also used my Urban Decay Naked Palette and The Black Palette. My liner is Inglot gel liner in 77, a matte black. Also featured are my awful Rodney Dangerfield blue contacts, lol. I'm too busy buying 'unnecessary' things to get better contacts.

I really want to place another order soon. Junebug and Magpie chromalusts are calling my name! What do you think about Sugarpill?

Not me, the three!

Due to the awfulness that is Florida weather I've been lazy with my makeup but not with my spending! Here are my first three looks using my Inglot palette numero dos. Nothing special but oh do I love my Pearl 414(the dark green)!

This is Pearl 441, Matte 358, Pearl 446, with my 77 gel liner on my water line/tight line and lid. I was a little sloppy with my lid liner as I am not use to my bent liner brush. No full face as I was greasy! I hate FL humidity!

Second look is Matte 345, Matte 339, Matte 358, AMC 46, and 77 gel liner on my water line/tight line. I specifically bought Matte 345 and Matte 339 for looks together. Le sigh, when it's cooler I will be back to full face shots but for now it will be sparingly.

And for last my favorite look! This is Pearl 414, AMC 46, 77 gel liner for water line/tight line, and MAC Jealousy Wakes! I believe I took these pictures before I made my way out the door hence the lack of yuck on my skin, lol. All shadows were great to work with and highly pigmented except for Pearl 414 which requires build up. Which look is your favorite? Any requests for my next look using Inglot?

Inglot 2

So I finally caved back in July and purchased my second Inglot palette along with my first gel liner in black(77). The first thing I noticed when ordering, as the last time I did was when the site just opened, was that the palettes are no longer discounted. I prefer the sleek look of their palettes but I've also noticed other bloggers purchasing Z Palettes as well. You could definitely fit more in a Z Palette! My total for a 10 pan palette, 10 shadows, and 1 gel liner was $86.67.

I based my palette from swatch pictures I saw on Temptalia that I really liked. I'm happy with all the colors but I did notice that Matte 358 and Matte 339 look pretty similar. You'll also notice I got a little matte happy! I don't own many mattes other than the occasional brown or black that comes with a random palette. Swatches are over Too Faced Shadow Insurance, swatched in the same order as the palette.

The mattes definitely hold more pigment than the pearls. Pearl 414 was the hardest to build up and is also my favorite color in the palette. I think Pearl 428 might be a dupe for Mac's Deep Truth. I'll make sure to swatch and compare soon. My only other experience with gel liners was Mac's Fluidline in Blacktrack and Macroviolet. After hearing many good reviews on Inglots gel liners I figured I could at least try the black. I don't think they're necessarily waterproof but they do have pretty good staying power. After I ordered I realized I didn't own an eyeliner brush so I found a cute little bent liner brush by ELF at Target for $3.

The second to last picture is under warm running water and the last is after a vigorous scrub. Not bad, eh? I've been wearing the liner almost everyday pushing my Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero to the back. I layer a matte black shadow on top of the liner on my water line and tight line and it looks great and dark. It does melt into the corner of my eyes by the end of the day, but I do have sensitive eyes that water a lot. Even after washing my face and what not I still have liner on. Overall I'm in love with my purchase. I think the price is worth the quality, hell I remember paying $40 for a 4 shadow palette at Mac with only 1 shadow having good pigmentation. You know you're guilty of it too! For more on Inglot check out my first Inglot purchase!

Ole Blue Eyes

I'm still new to contacts. I mean it took years for me to actually get prescription glasses! Le boyfran suggested I try blue contacts, because the combination with black hair sounded FINE, lol. Now these are prescription contacts purchased at my local Valuvision and let me just say they suuuuuuuuck! Oh lawd! I haven't been posting lately because every picture makes me look like Rodney Dangerfield! These are the only pictures I have that look good but you will probably notice what I am talking about...

You see, no matter what my brown eyes peek through!

So no matter what angle, even straight on, the contacts would slightly be shifted so that they were never even. Such a waste of money, especially because I need contacts! They were also incredibly drying, bleh. Never again. Both looks were done using my first Inglot palette and the Urban Decay Naked palette. This week is already a bust which is more lame than usual as this Friday is my birthday! I will literally be going around Jacksonville getting anything free for birthdays lol. Haha, I'm getting old and bored! Also, I put in my 2 week notice at my new job today as I will be getting my old job back at Walgreens. I'm excited and sad about it but working for commission was keeping me in a consistent rut and was not worth it anymore. Lets hear it for new old beginnings!lol

To stand out, above the crowd...

Even if I gotta shout out loud, till mine is the only face you see. Gotta stand out till you notice me. Yeah, if you have a problem with me quoting A Goofy Movie then tough luck, lol. Here is my rebel against my lame 9-5 office job drag queenish look. Like that? How I was even willing to do this at 7 in the morning I do not know but I enjoyed it. This is of course is all Inglot, as per usual. I've definitely neglected all my other make up for this palette. It's just so pretty and convenient. The glitter is actually my handy dandy NYX Crystal Jade liner.

One more day till Friyayadaaay!!!! So excite. :)
