NYX 12 Hour Non-Sale

Riding the coat tails of Sleek, NYX decided to throw a 12 hour sale yesterday.  Almost everything on their site was $1.20. It seems almost impossible for me to understand how any company could not expect a HUGE influx of order when they are literally slashing prices as much as 80%, more in many cases.  […]

NYX Glitter on the Go

I was recently asked to review some of NYX’s Glitter on the Go.  I had purchased a few of these some time ago, but they were tossed under the sink in the reject pile. I pulled them out this morning and sat for a while, seeing if I could revise my first impressions of them […]

With Liberty and Justice…

My look today was a tad more complicated then I thought it was going to be for looking so simple. On my face I used the Smashbox Tinted Moisturizer with the ELF Shade stick as a highlight.  I didn’t bother with blush, I usually don’t these days.  I did conceal a few weird spots I’ve […]

Sake

My everyday makeup has pretty much been the same for a week. NYX Eyeshadow in Pink Oleander over the lid (primed first, naturally) with NYX Eutopia in the outer V, just creating a shadow, blending carefully.  I then added MAC Pigment in Your Ladyship to highlight the brow and a tad on the inner corner.  […]

Goldmine Valentine

Goldmine Valentine is the first in my series of looks based on my favorite songs.  Goldmine, performed by The Bigger Lights just reminds me so much of an old school Hollywood vixen, smolderingly sexy and naughty.  So the makeup look for this is a simple neutral eye with a perfect and dramatic cat eye liner […]
