Random #EOTD Spam featuring Milani's New Ultra Fine Liquid Liners

(**Some of the products in this post were provided for review consideration**)

Hello my darlings!! 

  I won't beat around the bush, I feel like garbage. IDK what has been going on, but these past few weeks I've been having more bad days than good. It's a bummer because for a while I had been feeling better for some time, normal even. And then, all of a sudden, I'm starting to feel garbage-y again and having a hell of a time working up the energy to do even the smallest things. Fear of food is also at an all time high, as it does not seem to matter how healthy or badly I eat. Meaning, no matter what, I end up sick :(. 

 I've not been able to paint my nails since last Friday. I've been wearing Zoya's PixieDust in Nyx and Vespa, they are still holding up fairly well. So, since I don't really have nails to show you, I figured I do a spama-lama-dingdong post of some #EOTD's I've done over the past few weeks. All of these feature different brands of eye shadows, but they all have something in common. They all feature one or more of the new Milani Ultra fine felt tip liquid liners. I seriously LOVE those suckers!!  

SO guess what?! I am STILL horrible at taking notes while I do my makeup lolol!! I am SO sorry about any missing details on these looks. But as always, of you have any burning questions, feel free to leave 'em in the comments, or email me and I will do my best to answer it for you! Please enjoy some eyes-piration while I work on getting well ♥.

 I really hope you guys enjoyed this post and got some cute ideas. I hate feeling so slacker-ish. But I asure you, it is SO not by choice. I will continue to take care of myself, and take advantage of the moments when I do feel well to bust out some awesome nail looks for you guys. 

Now, would you wear any of these looks? Would you tweak some to fit your style? Lately I'm feeling the neutrals for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I still love my brights. But lately I've been craving light and airy looks with minor pops of color here and there, or a bold lip. What are you into these days?

Random #EOTD and #FOTD-ness and Pics of my New Hair!

One might say... 

  That I might be on a slight bold makeup- cateye kick... I got so much amazing makeup for Christmas that I am finding every excuse possible to wear all my goodies. These are a few random makeup looks I've done recently that I wanted to share with you guys!  

  In some eventuality these posts will become a "dedicated post". Meaning I will only be covering a full "FOTD" instead of several looks in one post (unless you guys like this better). 

  To see some closeups of these eye looks, some full face shots and my new hair just continue reading!

 All of these looks were done over a primed lid. I've been using the Original UD primer potion lately and seriously LOVING it!!!

BFTE Cosmetics Birthday FOTD

 So, this is the look I wore on my birthday :D. This look features mostly BFTE Cosmetics pigments. On my lid I have Dragon Slayer, Chocolate and a bit of Sugarpill Junebug. On my browbone is BFTE Whisper. For my cat eye I used the BFTE Black gel liner. On my lower lashline I used Sugarpill Junebug on the outer corner and Goldilux on the inner V. There is also a touch of BFTE Electric on the center of my lower lashline.

  I used my favorite Red Cherry Lashes (avail from BFTE Cosmetics). I wanna say these are Red Cherry Lashes #110. They are really big, but natural looking. On my waterline and tightline is the Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on pencil in Perversion. 

 Here is an IG shot of the full face. On my lips I wore Milani Red Label with a bit of Kissable Couture in Fantasies layered on top. 

I'm a Mermaid!

  This look features shades from the Lime Crime Aquatenea Palette as well as a Lime Crime Zodiac Glitter. On my lid I used Atlan-Teal and Nautilus Prime. On my browbone is BFTE Cosmetics in Whisper. My double cat eye was done with Lime Crime Uniliner in Lunar Sea and Milani Eye Tech Extreme liner in Black. On my lower lashline I used Lime Crime Atlan-Teal on the Inner V and Urban Decay Zeroon the outer lower corner. I also used some Lime Crime Zodiac Glitter in Cancer on my lower lashline. I placed the glitter using the Lit Cosmetics clear glitter base.
 For this look I chose to wear some of my Ardell Cirque lashes. This pair is called Inspired. I tightlined in UD Perversion. 

 And here is an IG full face shot. The headband was made out of Recycled leather bits :D. On my lips I was wearing Milani gloss in Raspberry Pie. 

Christmas #FOTD

 For this look I kept my lids simple and Golden because I wanted the focus to be on the ginormo lashes and dramatic Cateye. I used some shades in the Wet 'n' Wild Sparkle 'til Morning Palette. For the cateye I used the Milani eye tech extreme liner.

 I have a pretty hooded lid and my impatience caused a little ooopsie. These are my most dramatic lashes, by far. Since it was Christmas I figured flash and sparkle would be ok. This pair is called Fantasy and they are from the Ardell Cirque Collection.

 Here is an IG full face shot of my X-mas FOTD. My lips were done in Revlon lip butter in Candy Apple. 

 ANNDNDNDND!! Here are some pics of my freshly colored hair! I finally touched up my roots and switched up the color placement. I use the Sally's Color Brilliance brights. I used the Magenta, Aqua and Purple shades. SO happy with how it turned out :D!

 Thanks for stopping by today my loves. I had such a fantastic B-day. I was in the hospital, again, yesterday but I am feeling a little better today. I'm tired and sore but my plans today include: laying around, eating crackers and drinkin lots of Gatorade....

 Are you feelin any of these looks?

Fun with @SugarpillMakeup and The Story of LTHP's Origin!

Good morning!! 

  I am so excited about this post because SUGARPILL!!! I've never been one for lemmings when it comes to nail polish. Which is ironic, considering the origin of my blog lol. I.LOVE.POLISH. That is a plain and simple fact. Lately though... I've been loving on some makeup as well. More like obsessing over it. I find myself watching countless hours of tutorials from my favorite gurus and lusting after the beautiful makeup they use. 

  Sugarpill shadows have been my most hardcore lemming EVER. I've lusted after Sugarpill shadows longer and harder than I ever have any polish o.O (True story). I practically want everything they produce. Have you seen their matte palettes (what a silly question lololol)? Sooooooon, sooon they shall be mineee!!! But anywho, for Christmas, my husband got me the Zillionaire Chromalust Pigment Trio. Quite frankly I wanted it just for the epicness that is Goldilux. I am SOOO happy that I got the trio because Hysteric has me in hysterics over how beautiful it is and Junebug is all kinds of sexy. I am aware they sell the pigments separately as well but I figured they would be like potato chips... Can't get just one. I was right. The husband did fantastic this Christmas!! 

 Last night I shot a quick vid on the origins of my blog. This is one of the questions I get asked most often so I thought it would be fun to share my story with my awesome readers. I'm really excited to finally be doing these videos and answering questions and such. I also have some tutorials planned!! Soon, soonn!!

To see close-up pics of my makeup look just keep on reading after the jump.

 It is safe to say that Sugarpill is pretty much the best thing evarrr... I love every little thing about the brand. I had been itching to do a look with my loose shadows so this is what I came up with :D! 

 I primed my lid with the Urban Decay primer. I applied Goldilux to the inner corner of my eyes with a damp brush. I am still in awe of how intense and incredibly metallic Goldilux is, wetting it only made this effect even more amazing. I seriously.. I can't... It's just TOO good! I then blended Hysteric in my crease and up toward the browbone.
 Can we talk for a second about how beautiful Hysteric is? At first glance Hysteric looks like a pretty shimmering Purple but it actually has the most amazing Green flashes that give it that extra somethin-somethin. I had no idea I would fall head-over-heels in love with it. I love that it remains distinctly Purple, even when Blended out. I cannot stand when Purple shadows go Pink, or Grey. I then went back and layered a bit of my Naked Cosmetic SE06 in my crease and blended it toward my inner corner. On my browbone I used a little bit of NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk set with BFTE Cosmetics mineral shadow in Whisper. 

 On my lower lashline is Goldilux (inner corner) and Stella (A little sample came with the order)on the outer corner. I did the cateye using Milani Eyetech Extreme Felt tip liner. On my lashes I used Maybelline The Colossal Falsies and some Ardell Accent lashes, #305. Speaking of lashes... Sugarpill also has some AMAZING lashes!

 On my lips I wore Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten. This is such a beautiful shade of Raspberry tint.

Here is a full face shot. I SO need to do something about these roots in my hair lool!

 That is all for today :D! I hope you guys enjoyed the video and such. I really am very excited about being a better you tubber and taking you guys up on tutorial requests!! 

 Do you have any Sugarpill products, which are your faves? Any lemmings?

Fun with @NakedCosmetics Shock Effect Pigment Set and @Ardell_Lashes #EOTD/#FOTD Looks!

Hello my lovelies!!! 

  I know today is supposed to be a challenge day but I honestly kind of forgot until the last minute yesterday. By the time I had realized I was supposed to be doing my Supernatural nails, I was already shut down for the day lol. So, I checked with you guys on Facebook to see if it was cool to show you some makeup looks instead :D. I will absolutely be back at some point soon with my challenge nails. 

  These look feature (for the most part) an amazing pigment set I got at The Makeup Show Orlando, back in November. One of the brands that captured my heart was Naked Cosmetics. They display was a SEA of beautiful loose pigment and glitter sets. I practically flew over to their booth and was paying for my Shock Effect set before I even realized what had happened. I didn't really have a hard time choosing this "palette" out from all the beautiful sets because the colors were the brightest and they really JUMPED out at me. Don't get me wrong though, had I not been on a tighter budget, many more sets would have come home with me.  

 I am also, pretty much, obsessed with the new Ardell Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection lashes. I got Four of the Six sets, but I'm thinking I really want to go back for the Two I am missing. I've only worn Two of my sets so far but it is safe to say that I LOVE them. They are dramatic, unique and just plain fun! Just in time for the Holidays.

  I am pretty much madly in love with these pigments and lashes. The pigments are very versatile! They can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner and even on the lips. They can be built up to be very vibrant, or blended out for a pretty flush of unique color. I'm always intimidated by loose pigments, because I am not a fan of "fallout". I am happy to report that these are deliciously creamy in texture, they are easy to blend and build up. I did not have an issue with fallout at all. I am very pleased with the color payoff in these babies. I did use my NYX primer (Skintone) and my NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk as a base for these looks to really make the pigments pop. These can be worn dry, wet or with primer. They are really very, very versatile.

 To read me rave some more about my Naked Cosmetics pigments, my beautiful new Ardell lashes and see close ups of these looks just keep on reading ♥.

 I still feel like a little girl playing with mommy's makeup sometimes, BUT I really think I'm getting better at this lol. I'm really having fun playing with bolder colors and looks. I am also having a lot of fun playing with different types of lashes and cat-eyes. Practice makes perfect, right? 

  All these looks are done over a primed eyelid and lower lashline. I use the NYX Skintone primer followed by a light layer of NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to bring the colors out. 

Fairy Brights/ Ardell Surreal Lashes. 

 This is a pretty simple look but very colorful. I am pretty much obssesed with these lashes, BTW. I got So many compliments the day I wore them. This look features pigments from the Shock Effect set. I am pretty bummed that these pigments are not named. It makes the look harder to go through. So on my lid (from outer corner to inner corner): Shock Effect #05, #06, #04. On my inner corner close t the nose there is a little bit of blended out #01. This shade can go from bright Yellow, to soft Honey Gold depending on how much you pack it, and what it is layered over. On my browbone is Lime Crime Magic Dust in Cupcake Thief. 

 On my bottom lashline (from outer corner to inner corner) I have Shock Effect in #03, #02, #01 . The lashes are from Ardell's Cirque Collection, the Surreal set. They add just a hint of glittery goodness. Perfect for holiday parties, or feeling like an overall fairy. I am a FAN! I did the cat eye with Milani's EyeTech Extreme Felt Tip liner. I did my waterline with L'oreal HIP Black Pencil liner. Mascara is Maybelline Falsies. Brows filled in with Senna brow powder and pomade(♥). 

 Note: I am still new to lash application/ working with lashes. I'm not fantastic at it but I am getting more comfortable with the process. 

 On my lips is Revlon Balm Stain in Sweetheart with NYX Soft matte creme color in Addis Ababba. 

 I painted some bobby pins in Zoya Meg :).

Gilded Mermaid/ Ardell Mystical Lashes

  I really love metallic Gold eyeshadows. I want ALL the Gold eyeshadows! The Gold in my inner corner is Maybelline's Golden Halo. On my crease and outer corner of my lower lashline I have Shock Effect pigment #03. I darkened my outer corner on my lid with Milani pressed powder shadow in Just Perfect and Olympian.
 I lined my waterline with Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil in Brown Deluxe. The lashes are from Ardell's Cirque Collection, Mystical Set. Very dramatic and full, I love the Black glitter strip.

 My lips were done up in LAQA & Co. Fat Lip Pencil in Lambchop. Mascara is Maybelline Falsies. Brows filled in with Senna brow powder and pomade(♥).

Ice King Queen

  This was a super fast, Five minute look. I have Shock Effect Pigment in #06 and #04 on my eyelids. I did #06 all over my lid and crease and did a little bit of #04 on the center of my lid to create a pretty Violet duochrome. My lower lashline and waterline were done in Milani Shadow Eyez pencil in Aquatic Style. 

  My lips were done in AJ Crimson Kissable Couture in Mysterious. I did my waterline with L'oreal HIP Black Pencil liner. Mascara is Maybelline Falsies. Brows filled in with Senna brow powder and pomade(♥).

Flower Power/ Ardell Accent Lashes 301

 This look also features mostly Shock Effect Pigments. On my eye lid I am wearing Sock Effect #04 on the center of my lid, #01 on my inner corner and #05 on my outer corner and blended up into my crease and browbone. My browbone was done in Lime Crime Cupcake Thief. My lower lash line was done with Sock Effect #06, Milani Shadow Eyez in Aquatic Style and Shock Effect in #02. I did my waterline with L'oreal HIP Black Pencil liner. Mascara is Maybelline Falsies. Brows filled in with Senna brow powder and pomade(♥). I am wearing accent lashes by Ardell, 301-Black. 

 Now for fun! Here are some shots of the Naked Cosmetics Booth from The Makeup Show Orlando. Photos courtesy of Mr.LTHP. Can you spot the Shock Effect set ;-)?

 They were not all shimmery, they also had some loose matte pigments in neutral tones. they also had BEAUTIFUL loose glitters.

 I am really hoping to get my hands on a few more of their beautiful pigments. I am so happy with this purchase. I think I remember some pastels and some delish Golden-Copper-Bronze Metallic that have my name written all over them. The girls at the booth were awesome and very helpful! Their booth was really cute too, I could have not passed it up even if I wanted to. Naked Cosmetics Pigments get a big Thumbs up from me!  

 I hope to get to wear the rest of my Ardell Cirque lashes soon! They are so beautiful and different. I wish lashes like these that Ardell just did for their Cirque collection were made more often by mainstream companies. They are so much fun!!! I will have a recap post of all the lashes soon! 

 I hope you guys enjoyed these looks! Don't forget to checkout my Zoya Giveaway!!
