Seven Deadly Sins: Vanity

[Vanity] An inflation of mind upon slight grounds; Empty pride inspired by one's personal abilities or decorations; Excessive desire for notice/approval; Ostentation; Conceit.

Yikes lol. Vanity (also known as Pride) is the sin that's considered to be the most "serious" of all the sins. The reason for this is because it's considered to be the OG; The source from which the other sins arise. The color associated with this sin is violet.. but I used blue. lol Mainly 'cause I already used purple in my Lust & Sloth one. So to show pride/vanity, I wanted really flashy, sparkly eyes & muted lips. I show the excessive self admiration in the eyes. & I wanted to incorporate something that looked like mirrors. On the lips, I used a light pink, I wanted to kind of show emptiness.

LA Colors Moon Rock & ICE Cosmetics Sparkly Glitter [pictured here]

I cut up two of my old earrings that I haven't used in probably like two years (no kidding) & glued them under my eyes with lash glue. Haa, it looks kind of weird but I wanted something that looked like mirrors near my eyes. I used the lighter blue on my lid and again above the crease. I used the darker blue in the crease & the dark grey to define a little bit. I used the two light colors in WnW's Vanity palette (how fitting!) for my highlight. Then took both blues again on the outer lower lash line.

 

 Wet N Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick in Think Pink (901B)

I wanted to show the emptiness in the lips. So I went with pale pink lips. I just noticed recently, that of all the lipsticks I have.. I think I use this one the most. lol It's such a pretty color & I know I say that all the time but I really love it. Nude Attitude, Pink Pout, & this one are probably my most reached for lipsticks. You really can't go wrong with either of them.

Hope ya'll liked my take on Vanity!

I had been sitting on this look for almost two weeks lol My hair's already almost completely faded now.

I wish it was still this color. Le'sigh. Haa well thanks for checking it out! (:

Seven Deadly Sins: Envy

[Envy] is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

One of the ugliest sins! I'm sure we've all witnessed some form of envy at some point. There's no appreciation of what they already have & obsess over what.. or who they don't have. Tsk tsk.. No bueno! The heavenly virtue that is Envy's opposite is Charity. Charity is happy for other people's goods/happiness while Envy laments it. Since Envy is often referred to as the "green-eyed monster", I used greens on the eyes & hot pink on the lips. I hear "desire" & I think hot pink!

NYX Pigment [Jade] • WnW Comfort Zone Palette

 This Jade pigment is soooo pretty! I still don't like green eyeshadows for me but the color itself is really pretty. Something I forgot to add in the pic, I also took the yellowish highlight color lightly around the bottom to blend out Jade a little more. I'm wearing random spikey-like ebay lashes on the bottom. I couldn't keep them in place. I didn't cut them or anything so they kept folding upwards lol

MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick [Show Orchid]

I love this color! It's hot pink with like a blue pearl to it. It's so pretty. It reminds me of the WnW 521A lipstick. Just cause of the blue pearl though 'cause the WnW lipstick is darker & more on the red-pink side but with the same blue-sheen.

NOTD: Pink with Envy.

Orly [Swizzlestick]

This is one of the polishes Annie gave me ♥ (Ty Annie!) It's a red based pink & I love it!

Thanks for reading, sheekas. (:

New Hair: I am Ron Burgundy?

Revlon Colorsilk in Burgundy [48]

I picked up this color out on a whim. I had put on a Light Ash Brown some months ago & it looked awesomee until it faded. My hair was a really dark blonde/really light brown. I hated it. It looked gross lol. Plus my roots were growing out already. So instead of pretending like I was going for that whole Ombre Hair thing all the cool kids are doing, I decided to dye it! I went to the store looking for Medium Dark Ash Brown but when I saw this color lol I just had to give it a shot. I didn't think the color would take so well. I thought it would look a lot darker than how it came out. It's such a pretty color. I LOVED it the first day. The first day it was almost purple, it was so pretty. But after a couple days, it looked more dark red. Which is still coo, I've never had red hair before.

No Flash • [Before] • With Flash

No Flash • [After] • With Flash

I've really liked this color so far! Once it starts to fade & it's time for another dye job, I think I'll just go back to brown again. Cause dang, I miss my dark hair.  I'm wearing the Sinful Colors lipgloss Wink over NYX Narcissus in this picture. I loooove the combo. The milky pinks aren't super flattering on me. I kind of feel like a guidette when I wear it. Haha. But I still love the color!

Music: That Boy Simba Crazy

By the way! Has anyone else been obsessed with the Sideline Story album?! Mannnn. I've been listening to it 25/8 for like a month. I love every song.. My man is beyond annoyed by me singing & randomly yelling Colee Worldd. He's such a trooper lol Idk how he puts up with my weird phases.

Ya'll on Twitter have prob already seen my new hair.

But thnx for stopping by everyone, else. ^.^

Brown Plume Lashes

I wasn't a big fan at all of these lashes. I did think they were beautiful & I love the colors in it. Especially the green underneath them. But they're very poorly made. One lash band was even longer than the other! You can tell in the first picture. The right one is longer. You can also see how messed up the feathers are on the sides. When I was trying to take out the lashes from the case, I actually tore a whole feather off lol I put it back with lash glue. I didn't even pull that hard though. I had to peel it off from the bands. Idk it was a mess.  :( I wore these on Halloween when I was trying to be Pocahontas lol but I didn't like it. I put them on again today, for this blog post & did this quick, weird look using Comfort Zone.

Underneath the lashes.

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette

Gasps! Can you tell which shadow is my favorite?? Lol This is my beat up palette. I had dropped it soon after I first got it. The two shadows missing got totally shattered. The only color I really use A LOT from here is the bottom right one though. So today I used them all! All along the bottom lash line & inner lids I used the bottom right color though. I used both crease colors in the crease & the green eyelid color over the crease. & The brown definer color in the outer-v.

lol My eyes look bruised the eff up.

Halloween 2011 • Pocahontas

Hand Made Brown Feather Lashes [FE210] from KKCenterHK.com

I wasn't even going to post this 'cause it didn't come out very Pocahontas-y. I just ended up looking like a hippy. Haa ♥ Anyway this was the first time I wore the brown plume lashes. 

Thank you ladies!

October Collective Haul: The Good Stuff.

[Pic Heavy] A collective haul of some things I got in October that I think are amazing/worth mentioning.

Muji Drawers [Acrylic 5 Drawer Case]

Ohmylanta. I first saw these on Heart Kristel's blog & thought they were soo awesome. Fast forward to a couple months later & she posted that the Muji drawers were back in stock 'cause apparently they're pretty darn popular & sell out quickly. They're pretty much my favorite thing I've gotten in awhile. The drawers are kind of small (height-wise) but they still fit a lot of stuff. The two bottom pics are to show how much you can actually store in them. The exact measurements given by the site are: 10.2 x 6.9 x 6.3" o.O But um.. I don't understand that language. I understand this.. They're about the length of 2 lipsticks. The width of about 11-12 miscellaneous lipsticks. The height is like stacking 2 WnW palettes/trios. The only bad thing is that they're not tall enough to fit MAC pigments. Overall, I love these! I was able to fit almost everything. I plan on getting another one later on, when I have enough to fill one up with. I forgot how much shipping to Texas was.. I want to say the whole order came out to around $35. You can check them out here. [Note: Some of the Muji drawers were taken on different days. I re-arranged some things here & there]

WnW Party Of Five Glitters • LA Colors Jewel Tone • LA Colors Sea Siren • LA Colors Intimate

I love all of these. In the pictures above, I'm wearing Intimate on my nails. It's a pretty nude with a pretty pinkish sheen. In my last post, I was wearing Sinful Colors Midnight Blue with Jewel Tone over it. [here] And in a previous post, I used Sea Siren. [here] I've worn the Party of Five with Midnight Blue also but didn't take pictures. It's beautiful though. The only thing that bugged me about it is that it takes me like 10 coats to get enough glitter on there lol. And even though it's "Fast Dry" it dries the same as any other polish. I really love the way it looks afterwards though!

NYX Louisiana • NYX Iconic • NYX Castle

Iconic is beautiful! I also got B52 but it was so similar to Iconic, I gave it to my mom. She loves it too lol. Lousiana is a really pretty red pink. & Castle is unlike any lipsticks I have. I think it's pretty fitting for the season. Now, we'll see if I actually wear it out. lol All the NYX stuff is from beautyjoint, by the way.

Sinful Colors Lipglosses • Pucker Up • Wink • Goddess • Fushia

That's actually how they spelled Fuchsia. Anyway! I saw these at Walgreens one day & nearly spazzed out. I had only seen SC l/g online. Our small town is very much deprived of awesome things.. We get everything mad late. So when I saw these, I was super excited lol. My favorite has to be Wink. Just because of the milky baby pink color. It's so pretty. My only problem with these is that they're a bit on the sticky side. I'm surprised that it hasn't stopped me at all from wearing them quite often though. I think I'm just a sucker for Sinful Colors & I love the packaging. It's simple but nice. I'm definitely getting more of these... for collection purposes.

 NYX Lipgloss: Natural • Doll Pink | NYX Loose Pigments: Jade • Turquoise

 I wanted a nude lipgloss & thought Natural would do but it's a bit too dark for that. It looks really pretty over most colors but especially colors like Tea Rose & Iconic. Doll Pink is just as beautiful as I dreamt. It's such a pretty & opaque gloss. A must have for the all-things-pink lover! I randomly got these loose pigments. Man these things are tiny! lol Like literally the size of my thumb. I never wear green e/s but I got Jade to encourage myself to try it more. I have yet to touch the stuff lol.

Hannah Multicolored Dangle Earrings • Cubic Zirconia Studs

These are another favorite buy. I got both of these for $12. Yayy! lol I got these from Bealls. I feel like I'm constantly buying faux diamond studs. I always lose the little back parts & end up losing my studs. My ears are pierced twice on each ear & I like to wear them on the top piercing with whatever on the bottom piercing. Siggghhh. I hope these stick around longer than the last ones.

Ebay Lashes

I recently restocked on these babies. The 60 pairs usually last me about 8-9 months. I end up re-using a lot of them because the quality is pretty decent. The only bad thing, is that you always end up getting some that are all folded up lol. But you get what you pay for, I guess. These come out to around $10 for all six boxes.

MAC Turquoise Glitter

I found this at good ol CCO! I want to say it was around $10-11. Which is pretty good! The glitter is gorgeous & I've already played around with it & plan to use it in a post really soon. I'm having trouble trying to capture it well on camera though. By itself, I can get the shot fine. But when it's on my eyes, you can't even see it in my pictures. Idk why but it's so pretty. I miss these jars btw.

MAC Viva Glam Gaga • MAC Of Royalty

Finallyyy! I got the first Gaga & it's gorgeous. It's a Lustre which is not my favorite finish in the world, I actually steer very clear of them lol.. but the color is still very pretty. I also found Of Royalty which is my favorite, between the two. It's also a very pretty milky pink like the Wink lipgloss. 

Nicki Pumps from Fancy Steps

And last but certainly not least, are these gorgeous, leopard, spiky, heels from CurvesAheadMakeup's awesome online shoe boutique called Fancy Steps. I didn't actually buy these shoes, my man got them for me lol. Isn't he wonderful? :3 Ever since the website was launched, they caught my eye. I eyeballed them for a good 5 mins & even bookmarked the page lol. They are so gorgeous. I saw that they also had them available in black & in a light cream color. I had to stop myself & tell myself to slow down. "One pair at a time." We got them in the last days of October when they were having their free shipping promotion. Eeep! There's that free shipping again. lol Here's the direct link but it looks like the leopard ones are sold out. I've wanted shoes with spikes on the ends for a long time & these are similar & even add a different flare to it. The whole shoe is like a velvety material. Even, the black trim on the platform part of the shoe is velvety. The spikes are super cute & super shiny. They're just such a dream. I love them. & I think it's pretty obvious that my Munekiz loves them too.


Thanks so much for stopping by
