Elin






I just... she is so elegant and so strong and collected... I go on tears with pictures of her, sometimes.  How is it possible to remain so composed?  She's like a hero.  I just think she's incredible.

G to tha A






Just a little taste of some Gillian.  She's one of my favorite faces in the world.

Posh Paradise and Styledriven


Went to the MAC store, this weekend, at the Malibu Country Mart.  Picked up a lipstick and was getting really excited about all kinds of things in there.  The sales girl told me there was a sneak peek at the Posh Paradise and Styledriven, collections.  It was so fun to pass through this silver-stringed curtain and check out the goods, in a way that felt special.  I swatched everything and picked out some favorites.  Posh Paradise launches on 9/15 and Styledriven, on 9/22.  Temptalia has the scoop!  Along with photos!  

So excited!!

Scarlett Johansson








Went on a search to find some pretty, copyable, tan/gold eye-looks.  Started to come across pics of the incredible Scarlett Johansson.  I haven't ever been too obsessed with her face or anything, but my GOD, if you spend even a moment looking at pics of her, you'll be overcome (at least I was!).  WHAT a beauty.  What a beauty.  And SO good with SO many looks!  Blond is my fave, though.  The soft, honey blond.

Beautiful Makeup

What inspiring stuff...





Oh, Barbie Collection!  How glorious you were!




LOVE a thick cat-eye.

Things Organized Neatly




I am loving this blog.  I mean... it's like it was designed to soothe me.  The one above is called "The Serenity of the Lab."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Mitzi Gaynor


I am so inspired by this picture of Mitzi Gaynor.  It makes me want to watch movies from the 50's and study their makeup.  Her look is so fresh!  I would love to experiment with what they used from that era. I am totally behind cosmetics of this era (so advanced!) but it would be fun to play.

Caped Crusader


Bergdorf Goodman has a cape collection.  It kind of rules.

Pixiwoo!



Been on a Pixiwoo tear! LOVE this one! I would do this look in a heartbeat, for day, sans the bottom lashes. There are just some things I don't want to wear in daytime! You never know, though. Perhaps I should try! I just tend to like big eyes on top and very minimal on lower region of eyes. It's what works really well for my face.

Look at these girls! So, magnificently beautiful!

Beauties


My GOODNESS, is this incredible.  And I'm totally a girl who thinks pretty much, every look is 'wearable.'  I'll wear nearly anything, to work.  So this is like a soft, pretty day look, to me!  I bet the lashes are ridiculous from the front view!  And both with a red lip!  Uh!



I nabbed this pic from my cousin's blog- Purple Apple.  She is fabulous at finding great shots.  As for this one, it's not just a great shot, it's an AWESOME SUIT THAT I WANT!  I also love how the girl kept her little pony tail band, on her right hand, for this shoot.  So, so cute!

EOTN


The other night I decided to do some eye creations.  I got wild and came up with this.  I am not kidding, i have no idea what I used!  I do know that I don't have false lashes on, but they look quite nice, with my Falsies mascara!

EOTD- The Purples


For this eye, I used Kat Von D's True Love palette.  Literally everything that comes with the kit you can get... I used (the eye primer, the liner [which is sparkly and easy to smudge] and about four colors from the palette).  Incidentally, I don't see that kit any more, but you can get any of those items individually.

She's releasing some more palettes, which look delicious.  And they come with her eye pencils which are totally great.  When you go to Sephora next, swatch her line.  It's truly, one of my favorite out there.  Yes, I like Kat Von D, as a superstar.  Yes, I like that she's all tattooed up and I related to a tattooed woman.  Yes, she's terribly beautiful, but all that aside, I take my makeup seriously!  I like her line because it's tremendous!  Seriously.

Lisa Eldridge- Golden Smokey Eye



She has SO MANY wonderful videos.  The biggest perfection collection I've ever seen.  It's hard to pick one to post, but this one is the kind of look I would call a "daytime" look.  My daytime looks are not like most people's, so maybe that's why this is a good one to repost.

Sela


Did beautiful Sela's makeup for a wedding today.  Couldn't believe how it turned out.  She looked so nice.  I was so proud!  You simply can't see how lovely the colors looked, in this shot.  (If you click to enlarge, the colors are much more noticeable.)


Vixen


Not the easiest look to pull off, but Olivia Wilde does it in spades.  I will try this look, tomorrow and post a pic.  Hope I can pull it off, half as well!

EOTD


Navies and golds.  Much of it is the Victoria's Secret collection (Hello Bombshell!), which comes with incredibly beautiful, pigmented shadows with no names.  It's SUCH a lovely palette.  Excellent value as everything in it, is quality (there are also glosses and blushes/bronzers that I use every, single day).  

And, as usual, Wet N Wild liquid liner.  If you find black, buy two!  It's often sold out.

EOTD



Again... this eye was a little while ago, so all I know is, I used the Naked palette as well as my Ardells- Demi Black 110s (actually, that's what I normally wear, but I think these are longer ones).  I liked this eye... it was simple but pronounced.

Temptalia

I could go on for pages, about Temptalia and how incredible this blog is.  Instead, I'll simply post a link to these Makeup Forever pics, that they (she?) took at the Sephora store, in The Venetian in Vegas.  Don't be hungry when you look... you will salivate...



In All its Splendor

Found a beautiful blog...

In All its Splendor

It's created by a woman, named Soyoung.  She's an old friend, a designer, a mom, a wife and a lovely lady.  I'm excited by the things she finds to post!  We're coming up with a special EOTD, inspired by her.  For now, here's another from a few months ago...


I believe the entire eye is done with the Urban Decay Naked palette.  As soon as I start posting new eyes, I'll have a better product list!

EOTD


I liked the way this eye came out.  This was done a good, few months ago, but I do recall some things about it.  I did Milani, 03 Green in the crease, smudging it with some teal on top.  then the same Milani liner on bottom.  I do believe the light color on the lid, was simply my face powder (I use Wet N Wild in color 821A).  I also use Wet N Wild liquid liner.  Black is the best (opacity wise).

(Yay)

EOTD


This is an Eye Of The Day, from a couple of weeks ago.  I don't remember the products, but they're all, surely, easily dupe-a-ble.  I am pretty sure there is some brown/black in the crease, which might be helpful.  One thing I'm posi about, is my mascara being Mabelline The Falsies.  It's so good, for so many reasons!  My new fave.
