FOTD: Classic Lady In Red

This FOTD look came about due to my recent Cover Girl Lip Perfection haul. I wanted to sport a bright red lip so I paired the collection's lip color in Hot with the lip liner in Passion. I based the rest of my look around these colors and went with a light simple eye along with a bunch of small semi-tight curls. To set the curls I used my Conair Infiniti You Style Mulit-Functional Styling Iron that I bought from walmart.com. It's the cheapest I've found @ $24.97. Buy it here.

I created my eye look with the E.L.F. Studio Limited Edition Endless Pro Eyeshadow Palette. It retails for just $10 and is a great buy if you're looking for a palette that has a variety of colors. Some colors have shimmer in them, others are matte and many are highly pigmented. The palette comes with a mirror and 2 double sided eyeshadow applicators on the inside cover. You can purchase it on the E.L.F. website here. I've created a # guide so you can easily refer back to it when I mention what colors I have used for my looks. I've also included it in my sidebar for quick referral (Click to enlarge).

FOTD: Springing Out the Fresh Face

Spring has finally blessed us with some great weather but cursed ME with some horrible allergies.. no bueno!! I've been trying not to put any eye makeup on because of this and I'm hoping this doesn't last for long (well, the allergies of course). Here's a FOTD before my allergies hit.

I decided to go with a fresh face using light gold tones on my eyes, eyeliner and a slight pop of color on my lips. The pictures were taken on the same day, one during the day when it was bright out and the other at night as I was about to go out with my babe. The only thing I reapplied was my lipstick. Enjoy!
