I can’t even begin to stress how hot it is outside. Oh wait, yes I can! It’s hotter than the devils nutsack — that’s how hot it is. Not just hot, but it’s steamy. The east coast humidity blows a big one. It ruins the entire summer. You literally walk outside, stand there doing nothing, and you’re dripping with sweat. It’s awful. I honestly didn’t feel like leaving the house — let alone doing my makeup, but then I got a lil inspiration when I flipped thru the Discovery Channel and saw some pretty oceanic blues and greens. Two of my favorite colors to play around with. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do something bright, or something smokey — so I combined the two. This is nothing special, but it’s a fun look to do when you’re bored. It actually got me a few compliments when I went to CVS today LOL!!

EYES

  • MAC Soft Ochre paint pot — concentrated mostly on lower lid and blended up
  • MAC Lucky Green eyeshadow — on first 1/3 of the lid (also on first 1/3 of lower lashline)
  • MAC Birds & Berries eyeshadow — in the rest of the of the lid, blended into the Lucky Green
  • NYX Black eyeshadow — blended on outer 1/3 to deepen Birds & Berries (also smudged onto lower lash-line)
  • MAC Texture eyeshadow — in crease to smooth any harsh edges
  • Lorac Mesmerize eyeshadow — on browbone
  • Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero — on lower and upper waterline
  • Chanel Inimitable mascara

LIPS

  • MAC Temperature’s Rising lip pencil — just to line lips, then blended so there’s no obvious line
  • MAC Nymphette lipglass

FACE

  • Revlon Colorstay foundation in Caramel 400
  • MAC Marine Life highlight powder on cheeks
  • Facefront Fully Baked bronzer to contour
  • MAC Mineralize powder in Dark — lightly dusted over face to set and seal foundation

And that’s about it! I know it looks like a ton of stuff but it’s a very easy eye look. Great for the summer. Birds & Berries is already smokey but I wanted to deepen it just a bit on the outer corners. I’m definitely gonna have to review this Chanel mascara because I effing love it. It’s SO black!!

In other news, tomorrow births another hectic work week for me :( Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my job — I’m doing what I love…but it can get a lil exhausting sometimes. This month has been very hectic. I’ve come home completely pooped and my brain drained of all its juice. I’m hoping after this week things will slow down. I have some big things coming up for this blog, and after my post yesterday it seems as though you guys are open for recipes to be posted here :D YAY!! The only thing I love more than designing websites and indulging in pretty girly stuff…is cooking. My dream is to one day have my own food spot, and feed people GOOD food. It kills me everytime I hear someone say that Burger King, IHOP or some other ratchet food chain is “good food”. Ummm..no :| But wait til you try my stuff ;)

-Stay beautiful
