11.16.2010 Beauty

I had to take these two with a flash otherwise my eyeshadows would probably just look really light. I used my new Pop Beauty palette and I must say that I love pink eyeshadows. Which is what sold me on this, but it's really sheer. They would look really good with a thick black eyeliner though.

I'll never forget this one time I was at the Seaport Village (a touristy spot in San Diego) with my friend Liza, and I couldn't get over this Japanese girl's style that I saw there. I even stopped to ask her where she got her clothes from, and I was really young. It was obvious she got it in Japan. She wore this silver sparly tank top with capri denim pants (I was also inspired by her look for my bf's senior prom). She had on a purple sparkly headband, and silver eyeshadow with black eyeliner. Up until now, Liza is amazed how I remembered and am still influenced by how this girl dressed. I currently still feel like I'm experimenting with makeup, even though I know there are some colors I know won't look good on me, but I'll always stick to neutrals and pinks. I never finished this look because I didn't want to look too caked on with makeup, but I did just want to use my palette I just bought. I'll probably be using this palette more while the weather is ridiculously beautiful. Or most likely during the daytime.

I should also mention that I used elf's eyebrow gel on my brows, and Rimmel's sexy curves as my mascara. It's ridiculous how I am discovering mascara these days. I used to hide behind my glasses, hoodies, and bangs. I feel like I've gotten over that and instead now have moved on to being vulnerable without wearing mascara. ha

I threw in this photo because I was really excited to try out my makeup products last night and did this really messy. I was surprised that the Pop Beauty shadows didn't have much fallout and with a primer underneath, the colors come out a lot more. But it looks good on here if I were to actually go out or to have a full on look. Nyx's French Fries is all over the lid on the left and I mainly used the greens in my Pop Beauty palette on the other. The greens came out more pigmented than the pinks, and I did use elf's eyelid primer, since I was just trying this out and wasn't going anywhere.
