Valentine's Day Look 2: Classic Red

Here's my 2nd option for Valentine's Day. I know red lips and neutral eyes are usually a go to classic look for a lot of ladies, especially for V-day. As for me, I'm not used wearing vibrant colors on my pout, even more so red. That's why I chose to go with Revlon's Colorburst lip butter in Candy Apple since it's a bit more wearable then your standard red lipstick. You can also go with a red gloss if you prefer. I just think it makes me look more youthful then if it was a matte/satin texture IMO.

For the eyes, I wanted to define it just a bit so I kept it subtle. I used all the matte shades in the Wet 'N' Wild Palette and added UD Bootycall to the inner corner. Lashes are a must for me with red lips! Break down to below.

Valentine's Day Look 1: Tickled Pink

Hey everyone! I haven't posted any looks lately cause my eczema has been acting up on my left eye and is just barely clearing up. There's still a small lil patch lingering but i wanted to get this started. I decided to do a few looks that you can wear for Valentine's day or any day actually.

When I think of Valentines day, the color pink or red comes to mind. So for the first look, I chose to go with a soft pink look all around. Something sweet and feminine, Nothing too dramatic except for the lashes but even then Ive worn lashes more intense then the ones I'm wearing here.

FOTN: Gold and Purple

Hey everyone! I thought I'd share my FOTN from Saturday night. I went to one of my cousins house for a White Elephant holiday party on Saturday so I felt like wearing some color on my eyes. I kept the rest of my face neutral just so that I wouldn't look too bright. Unfortunately I hella forgot to take a close up pic before I left since I was in a hurry so the 2 I have here my blush faded.

a snap shot from my Mac.

You can see me blush more here... I look so pale next to her!

FOTN: WET LUST

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with you the look I wore on Friday night out with my friends.  I was too lazy to mess with fake lashes but I hate how my eyes look soooo small without them! 

I used the Wet' N' Wild Color Icon Palette in Lust, hence the name of the FOTN lol...

I must say that this palette is quite impressive. I saw a few reviews saying that it was hella pigmented and that it blends & glides on easily which made me go out and buy it. I got both the Lust & Vanity palettes and I don't regret purchasing it. Maybe I'll do a review with some swatches soon but I'm sure you've already seen some reviews for them.

I also want to thank all of you lovelies that have followed/subscribe to my blog. I love reading all your blogs as well as your sweet comments you leave me. Hopefully I'll reach 100 followers soon. I plan to pick up some things at IMATS for a giveaway whenever I reach 100.

Here's the look. Hope you all like it and have a great week!
