Latest Haul - Small But Sweet!

I've been doing good on my low buy! A few months ago I put myself on a $20 a month low buy. Last month I spent $20 on an ELF order and bought NOTHING else =) I have $20 for this month now but I have no lemmings. Well, no lemmings that are $20 or under haha. Anyway, this is stuff my boyfriend bought for me and a swap, so it doesn't count towards my $20. LOL

Milani Liquifeye pencils Silver and Black
MAC Glitter eyeliner "Girl Groove" (Swap)
Sinful Colors "Happy Ending" and "You Just Wait"


Here's a horrid swatch of Girl Groove. Sorry I just couldn't get the right lighting! In some angles it looks purple and pink, and other angles it looks green and blue! It's really pretty =)




And here's Happy Ending. It's a neat color but I don't think it does much for my skintone. Makes me feel like Fiona from Shrek haha. This was two coats. I think it would have looked better with 3 but I got lazy lol.

FOTD - Summer Look

I love summer. I love the weather and I especially love being able to wear colorful makeup and skimpy clothes =D Not that I can't wear colorful makeup in the winter, but it just seems more fitting in the summer. =) Here's my first "summer" inspired look for the year.Well, I'm still trying to get the hang of taking good makeup pictures and I think I'm getting closer, but it's not quite there yet lol. Anyway I was actually pleased with how this look came out, for once! Please PLEASE excuse the brows. They are a work in progress and have been for like a year now, LOL. Also, I forgot to take pics right away so it's a little worn away (it was a hot night) and I also forgot to use my setting powder so excuse the shine as well. Ok moving along!

Full face for once!
