Now There is Room For More

L'Oreal H.I.P eyeshadow duos quickly became one of my favorite cheap indulgences when they were introduced. Who else has highly pigmented, dirt cheap eyeshadow that goes on sale practically once a month?

As my collection grew, so did the space it took up. It's funny how storage space never enters one's mind when shopping for new goodies. You don't realize just how much space those multicolored pots of happiness really take up.

I enjoy depotting MAC, Milani or what ever else fits a 15 pan because it makes things so easy to get to and takes up far less room. Finding storage for the H.I.P. proved to a problem though. The pans are dang big!

It took some work but I found a palette that fit these over sized pans. It is a Japonesque blush palette. It costs $12 and can be purchased here.

Eyebrow Madness and HIP Sculpted FOTD

Happy Hump Day!

It's finally Wednesday and I am thankful for it. Today I decided to play mediator between my feuding eyebrows. They are not the same shape and I am not talented enough to groom them into conformity. That's what waxing is for right? Well, for years that's what I did until and unfortunate burn about 6 months ago. Oh! You can only imagine how upset I was. I had to take some deep breaths and count to 10. Whoosah.... I haven't mustered the courage to go that route again. I have just been cleaning them up enough to ensure that I had two distinct brows.

Enough was enough. Today I whipped out the stencils and got to plucking.

This is what I started with.


I used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk to color in the stencil.


Anything hairs that wasn't white I plucked. I forgot to take a pic of the brows after plucking but before filling in. The show must go on. On to the FOTD! lol.



Face- A bunch of different mmu foundations that I mixed in a jar.

Eyes-
MAC Artifact PP as base
HIP Metallic Shadow Duo in Sculpted
MAC Vanilla to highlight
Ardell Lashes - Luckies
Maybelline Full and Soft Mascara
Brows filled in NYC Browser powder

Lips-
Rimmel Vinyl Jelly l/l in Tasty
MAC Li' Hot Pepper lipglass

I have been a big fan of HIP duos since they came out. The love affair continues with the new metallic duos!

So what do you think? How did I do on the brows. I think went a little heavy on the filling in part but all in all I am pleased. They still don't match exactly but at least I don't look like Groucho Marx any more.



Scuse the parched mini fro ya'll. I will be busting out the plastic baggie and the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair Mask tonight! LOL!

Be bold and beautificated!
