FOTD: Rihanna Inspired

I may be a bit late to the party, but that doesn't bother me, lol. I love Rihanna's video "What's My Name" and I finally attempted the lavender eyeshadow look she's wearing there. Just something different to try...And I have the colors so why not? :)

Here's a reference pic:

And here's my attempt at the look (my camera is of course not the best but here goes}:

What I used:
Face
Laura Mercier Primer
Prescriptives Anywear Foundation Stick [Antelope]
Becca Concealer [Syrup]
MAC Select Moisturecover [NW40]
Laura Mercier Translucent Powder/MAC Select Pressed Powder [NC45]
Cargo Bronzer [Dark]
Nars Albatross
Nars Blush [Desire]

Eyes
UDPP
MAC eyeshadows: Beautiful Iris, Digit, Parfait Amour, Shroom
MUFE #92
MAC Smolder Eye Kohl
Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion

Brows: MAC Spiked

Lips
Rimmel Lip Pencil [Addiction]
MAC Lipglass [She Loves Candy - Hello Kitty Collex]

If I try this again, I'll try a lipstick underneath...I'm thinking Pink Nouveau...hmmm. And more eye liner...

Take care <3

NOTD: Essie Midnight Cami

When I got this polish last year, it was intended to be an alternative to Chanel's Blue Satin...I think it works quite well in that role :) Oh and also good for those days when you want a dark mysterious yet chic color, but don't want to wear black.

Two coats. This basically applied itself, too :)

NOTDs: OPI It's Totally Fort Worth It & Essie Coat Azure

Hi gentle readers :)

Just posting a couple of NOTDs instead of doing some class work, lol. Team Procrastination--I am Captain haha.

Here is OPI It's Totally Fort Worth It, from the Spring 2011 Texas Collection

Silver shot through with pink shimmer. Love! If I were to design a nail polish to reflect my personality it would be very similar to this color, except it would be darker--like a charcoal grey shimmer with tiny pink shimmers shot through it. Looking like candy paint on a car. Yeah :) But this is just fine. And the wear on this was great, about 5 days or so. This was 3 coats, so it's pretty sheer. I wish you could see the shimmers better...

And next is my current mani: Essie Coat Azure, also for Spring 2011.

I had to cut my nails down AGAIN! *haz a sad* I don't know what the problem is but my left thumb nail is acting like it's on drugs or something. And I don't want all the other nails to be dramatically longer so I have to keep them kind of short till it (and my right index finger) gets on the ball and grows out normally...I want no peelies or tears this spring and summer season, that is an order! Lol, like they have ears. Anyhoo, this is 2 coats and the wear could be way better; it began peeling the day after I applied it (currently on Day 3), so I will be changing either tonight or tomorrow (depends on how much classwork I complete, right?)...But it's such a gorgeous light-medium blue (think a cousin of Essie's Lapiz of Luxury) that I'll deal.

Okay, I gotta get back to my work, peeps :) I hope to get some more makeup related posts up soon.

Ta-ta for now <3
