Green with Envy!

Hey there! I have a few looks and posts I want to share with you all! I haven't been feeling well this past week and I have been looking and feeling pretty bummy, so I didn't get to do as many looks as I wanted to, but I'm hoping to feel better soon - Fingers crossed and have more to share!

Here is a Green eyeshadow look that I love! I love how vibrant, yet still wearable it is. I adore creative eye looks that are bright and colorful. I give major props to those who rock those looks, but me personally, I couldn't, guess I'm not daring enough. Instead I like to use one bold color and make it, wearable for everyday. I do this by applying the bright color just to the lid and using neutrals to blend through the crease.

The green I used for this look is a Ben Nye pigment called Chartreuse. If you haven't tried any Ben Nye shadows, you must! They are fab! I promise you wont be disappointed! In fact, you may become a Ben Nye addict immediately! lol I bought a bunch of sample size pigments from www.makeupgeek.com. She sells her own line of cosmetics as well as Ben Nye and MAC sample pigments and Sugarpill Cosmetics shadows and pigments. Go check it out! Plus she has a great blog and tutorials!!

Green Smoke


Hello my fellow makeup junkies! I did this look for a 4th of July family bbq we went to. I know, not very festive, right? I really just wanted to use the green shadow out of the BH Cosmetics 28 Color Smokey Eye palette I just bought (yay for getting packages in the mail! I love getting packages in the mail...lol). So, going along with the name of the palette I did a green smokey eye. I love smokey eyes - Like love love love - probably why I bought the palette. Ha! And once again, BH Cosmetics has not disappointed me. This palette is full of perfect colors and shades with great color payoff for creating the perfect smokey look.
