Happy New Year!! + Purple FOTD

Hi guys! I know I've been MIA for so long now ..I've finally decided to come out of hiding! In the summer I got really busy because my dad bought a new house and we did most of the renovations ourselves. And when school started, I was completely out of touch with makeup! I didn't buy much, because I only worked one day a week so budget was limited, and also because school was so hectic! I'm in a criminal justice program so that requires me to write countless research essays and presentations .... Boo!

Moving on .. :)

Purple look feat. Fyrinnae "Meerkat"!

Look at the pretty goldenish/pink/purple eyeshadow I tried on today!

*swoons*

It's even prettier in real life :) and ofcourse, what pruple look is complete without the infamous Mufe #92? Which just happens to be my ALL TIME FAV purple eyeshadow! I also tried on half lashes by Mac (#20). As you can see from the pic ...NOT A FAN! It looks great on some people but did not work on me at all. I'm actually kinda embarrassed posting that pic ...I just realized how bad the lash application on my left eye looks.

but ANYWAYS,

I'm wearing Fyrinnae Meerkat on my lid

Mac Full Fuscia blush in my high crease

Mufe #92 in the crease blended up

Thank you so much for looking ladies!

Tomorrow I'll be announcing my first (and BIG) giveaway!!
I'm SUPER EXCITED!

Umm Hi! + an old FOTD...

So I finally have a blog ..YAY! I hope to share FOTDs, reviews, swatches, lemmings and random rambling about makeup with the fellow makeup freaks :)

So to begin, I'll be sharing a few FOTDs I've done in the past, and once we catch on, I'll post some new ones that you hopefully havn't already seen on makeupalley! Btw I'm "n33rja" on makeupalley. Now you can all stalk me there.. :) lol

I did this look as a part "dupe a fellow MUAer" challenge on MUA ...

I used:

UDPP,

MAC Sea Me Shadestick,

MAC Freshwater e/s,

MAC Deep Truth e/s,

Mufe #92,

MAC Stars n' Rockets,

MAC Shroom,

L'oreal Colorstay eyeliner,

Stila kajal eyeliner.

How to get this look:
1. Apply an eyeshadow base all over the lid and upto the browbone
2. Use a blue cream base (Mac Sea Me shadestick) and apply to the entire lid area avoiding the crease
3. Take a fluffy brush (Mac 217) and blend the edges ..or use your fingers
4. Digggg into a blue eyeshadow (Mac Freshwater) and pat it all over the lid area on top of the blue base
5. Next, take a darker blue (Mac Deep Truth) and pat it on the outer > of your lid area, going a little bit into the crease
6. Take a bright purple eyeshadow (MUFE #92) with a pointy crease brush and start working it into the crease, not going past the middle of the crease. Build up the intensity.
7. Take a pinky purple eyeshadow (Mac Stars n' Rockets) with a fluffy brush (Mac 224) and brush it over the crease and into the high crease. Use a smaller brush and take the pink-purple all the way around the blue near the inner eye
8. Brush your highlight (Mac Shroom) along your browbone.
9. Line your eyes with a liquid eyeliner and add lashes for the extra drama :) oh, and on the waterline and the lower lashes if you'd like.

and ..you're DONE !
