Teen Vogue - Dec 2009

Teeny bop vogue has some cute faces that I will def want to copy. I have had a big nice compact of yellow eyeshadows that I have worn only once- but to be fair, it starts to blend very easily into my skin tone. Last weekend I got MAC's eye primer, which I am pretty stoked about. It allows for truer colors, so I can pile on those eyeshadows and have them retain their vibrancy against my skin tone. It also keeps them from sliding around, which is a pretty lame problem of mine, since my face tends to get slicker than oil can henry. Humph.
BTW: there's a relatively new MAC store in p-town that I never knew about. what?

MAC Antiquitease Collection - Holiday 2008?

About face

Came across UK cosmetics line Illamasqua. Why haven't I heard of this name before? I love when people can color outside the lines.





They have some great tutorial vids also. None of that stupid drawing on a paper face w/pics of products in containers. You know what I mean (ehem, cough, MAC)?
Oh, but speaking of: check this shiznit out -->

Ok, I'm still yo bitch, MAC.

suck it monkeys, i'm going coporate

Me fooling around with an eye look i saw in the latest issue of british bazaar.

This checkered look is something i've been trying, but it's so hard to do on yourself. So i found a guinea pig.

that's not how you play marbles. no, but that's how you keep them.

For about the past year, i've been obsessed with the idea of getting a mohawk type cut. However, my fear of committment to a hairstyle i tend to consider limiting, and possibly too edgy for the "hoochie in me," has kept me from getting it. Here are some attempts at a similar style, without the permanent cut.
