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?

My Current Obsession: Cateyes (and crazy colorful eyes)

Happy Humpday! 

 Today I want to share some recent eye-of-the-day (#EOTD) looks. My family was amazing on Christmas. My husband got me all this amazing makeup and a Zuca bag for me to store it all in. It was a really colorful X-mas! 

 Recently I've been slapping a cateye on just about every look I do. For a while I was intimidated by the look, and couldn't quite master it. I figured if I never practiced I'd never get better at it so I started doing lots of cat eyes and experimenting with different colors and angles and such. These are some of my favorite cateyes I've done (some have been... :-|).

To see some close-ups and find out which products I used just continue reading. 

 So... I am STILL terrible at taking notes of what I used where... I'm kind of guessing a little here on some of the older looks. 

Cateye on Nude 

 This was a super quick, ten minute look. I primed my lid with NYX Skintone primer. I used the lighter tones from the Wet 'n' Wild Sparkle 'til Morning Palette. Keeping mainly in the soft Golden tones. I wanted the focus to be on the cat eye itself. For the cateye I used Milani's Eyetech extreme felt tip liner in Black. Right now, that is my go-to liquid liner. I'm wearing Ardell Accent lashes #305 and Maybelline The Colossal Falsies mascara. I.love.BIG.lashes!

Double-Lined

 For this look I used the same products as the previous look. I'm kind of obsessed with the Wet 'n' Wild Sparkle 'til Morning palette. For the green line I used Wet 'n' Wild Megalast liquid liner in Turquoise. Which is actually kind of bright Green, and I love it. For the Black I used my Milani eyetech extreme pencil. 

Lined in Lazuli

 For this look I started by priming my lid with UD eyeshadow primer. I used mainly colors in the Deluxe Shadow Box by Urban Decay. My awesome dad got me this beautiful palette for X-mas On my crease and blended up towards my browbone is Fishnet. On my inner corner is Peace and I blended it out with Grafitti. To darken the crease I used Ransom and a little bit of a dark matte Purple from my Coastal Scents Creative Me #1 Palette. On my browbone is NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk set with Milani White Lie. The cateye was done with Lime Crime uniliner in Lazuli. My hubby got me Four of their liners and I am loving them. I am wearing Ardell #301 accent lashes.

Tropical Brights

 This looks features a lot of BFTE Cosmetic pigmets. I primed my lid with the UD Shadow primer. I used BFTE Lemon on my lid. On my crease I have Addicted over Tangerine, which was bleanded up toward my browbone. I did a very, very, very soft and blended out Browbone in Lava Momma. I did a highlight on the center of my lid with Lit Cosmetics glitter in Beyond Pink (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) set with the Lit Cosmetics glitter base. I replicated the accent on my lower lid as well. I highlighted my inner corner with BFTE Whisper. The outer corner on my lower lashline was done in Grape and I blended it in towards the inner corner. I am in LOVE with my BFTE pigments!! They are so smooth and easy to work with!  Here I am wearing Ardell lashes in Flirty, which have cute little stones on the outer corners. The cateye was don with Milani Eyetech Extreme Felt Tip liner in Black.

Here is a shot of the full face. My lips were done up in butter London lippy in Primrose Hill Picnick. Brows in Senna brow powder in Brunette. 

I have quite a few more looks to share. Some are good and some not so much but I will still share them at some point anyways just to document progress. I've been really getting more and more into makeup and embracing my love of color. I stopped worrying about it looking bad. I can always take it off and start over :). 

  I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's Eve and Day!!! What are your thoughts on cateyes?
