I always love to do  makeup looks inspired by my ever-inspirational aquarium. It's bright, colorful, and serene.  So for this look, I am turning it out with the help of Sugarpill's bright, bold colors! 

I am an absolute lover of the ocean and aquatic life. Did you guys know that I'm a diver???? True story. And one time I met John Travolta.  I know!! Totally unrelated...

On to the makeup!




 

Hope you like it!!  When Sugarpill is involved, YOU KNOW there is about to be some FIERCE up in here!!

Thank you for stopping by!! Truly love it when you do :)
Hope you have a beautiful and blessed day!

XOXO,
Colleen

In honor of Earth narrowly being struck by a meteor this week (see... there are worse things that could happen!), I am reminded and inspired by the vast beauty of outer space, the galaxies within, and the stars I see as I look out my window at night.

So for this week's makeup look, I bring you this celestial blend of colors and twinkles!
(And some MONSTER lashes! I couldn't resist... I have been dying to play with them!)  :-)
I hope you like it!






This week's shadow selection is yet another collection of colors from Rose Marie Shadows (of my own purchase).  I am absolutely thrilled with this brand.  The amount of product you receive, the quality, the pigment, and the VALUE is incredible.  (I am not being compensated in any way  by Rose Marie Shadows).  These are 5 gram jars... for $3 each!!  Awesome!


I hope this inspires you! This was a fun look to put together.  The colors blended so well together, I love the end result.


I hope you have a wonderful week and stay safe from any meteor showers!!
Sending you my best wishes, and as always, thank you so much for visiting. It means the world to me.
Much love!
XOXO!
♥ Colleen

I always get silly around this time of year because I start seeing so many beautiful and romantic makeup looks popping up, and I start thinking of those of us that might loathe the holiday.  Maybe you are unattached or heartbroken?  Maybe you don't like how over-commercialized Valentine's Day has become?  Maybe you are allergic to chocolate, Teddy bears, and love?

Hey, I got you, girl.

This is for those of us who might not be a fan of Valentine's Day.  Nope.  No lovely pink shadows, purples, or ROSES.  No way. 

This is, what I like to call my "Anti-Valentine's Day" makeup look for 2013.

Let's get silly. Why not? :-)






I'm currently obsessed with this fabulous cruelty free indie brand that I discovered on Etsy a while back, Rose Marie Shadows.  The colors are stunning, highly pigmented, and totally affordable. :-)  The colors that I am using for this look are Deep Blue Sea, Mermaid, The Huntress, and Buddha.



 
Best wishes to you!  I hope you have a wonderful week :-)  Thanks again for stopping by! Truly love it when you do!

XOXO,
Colleen

You see... it's like Benefit Cosmetics was cosmically speaking to me when they released this adorable collection of eyeshadows: "World Famous Neutrals- Most Glamorous Nudes Ever".
They should've known I would be ALL over this palette!
Let me show you why:


First of all, it's an incredible assortment of neutrals, including "Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy" being a beautiful deep bronzy plum that I'm crazy about, "Gilt-y Pleasure", a gorgeous gold, "It's Complicated", a rosy pink, and "Call My Buff", a beautiful vanilla.

This palette also includes 2 shadow bases; "Birthday Suit", a shimmery nude, and "MyTwo Scents", a shimmery copper.  The colors selected for this collection are beautiful, sexy, and flattering for any skin tone. This is perfect for neutral day and evening looks. My new fave!


For those of you that know me, you know that I love to create eye looks that are gradient and well blended. With this assortment I can create my favorite look in a snap.

























And there you have it!  A glamorous neutral look courtesy of Benefit Cosmetics and brilliant marketing! Come on... They had me with "Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy".  I should have a T-Shirt Made...

Cheers Everyone!!
I hope you have a wonderful week!  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I truly appreciate it :-)
Best wishes to you!

XOXO,
Colleen
