Saturday's Look

Saturday's look just sort of happened... I didn't go into it with any plans, but it turned out pretty pin-up-esque. I've been practicing my winged-liner technique lately, and after applying my foundation thought I'd give it another go, but with brown instead of the normal black. After that was done and I finished applying my mascara, I decided on a red lip and this is how it turned out. After I saw my completed makeup, I did purposely do my hair in this  fashion to give it more of the 40's style, while keeping it modern.

I don't remember all of the products I used, but I know some of the brands were E.L.F. lipstick and bronzer, Rimmel mascara, Too Faced Blush, Smashbox highlighter, CoverGirl & Maybelline concealers, and an old brown liner I have that the brand has rubbed off of.

Lavender Look inspired by Dawn from Beautyful Thoughts

This is my attempt to recreate Dawn's Edgy Lilac Eyeliner look. I put my own twist to it. Since black can look too harsh on me sometimes, I opted for a chocolate brown liner to tight-line with and a darker purple shadow, mainly because I don't have any lilac colored shades. Also, instead of using my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Cottage Cheese, I ended up using the E.L.F. eye widener because I wasn't completely sold on outlining the purple until after I had applied my mascara and I didn't want to use a large pencil and risk clumping my lashes. I also didn't use false lashes since I was going to work. Please don't mind my hair, it was a bit out of control today.

Lord of the Rings Live Symphony

Yes, I'm a bit of a nerd/geek who loves science fiction, fantasy fiction, and all of the sort. Lucky for me, so does my boyfriend :) Last weekend we attended the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Live Symphony performance, which was Ah-maze-zing! If you're not familiar, it's where you watch the film, but all of the music is performed live, and I mean ALL the music, from the instrumental to the choir. It was fantastic. I hope they intend to show the other two movies as well because I'd love to go. Here are a few photos from our outing.

I wanted to take more than one picture of the two of us, and he said, "but it'll just be the same as the other one", so I made a face to prove him wrong. He loved it :)

I don't remember everything I wore, but I remember my eyeshadows were Tarte and Smashbox, with a little Kat Von D thrown in. My blush was Smashbox and mascara was Tarte. I know the pictures aren't great but I had a blast!
