I was shopping at Sephora today, and my BFF has been considering the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette for a while. We were checking it out, and I was pretty interested in purchasing, but realized that I wasn't really into a fully-neutral palette, especially one that was so pricey. I really like eyeshadows that are brown and purple, so I was hoping to find a palette that had both of those shades and a little bit of shimmer.
And THEN! I stumbled upon Too Faced Return of Sexy...and oh me oh my I fell in love. It was so pricey, but the colors were so beautiful. I stroked the shadow with my finger tips and almost fainted with happiness at the sparkly softness, and it came with a black eyeliner and sample primer (NEVER used that before). So I bought it. It will definitely be a learning experience, but I'm excited! If anyone has any tips or tricks for BEGINNERS, I welcome them!
Here is my picture of the palette; I tried to get the colors as true to life as possible.
I randomly searched instagram's #toofaced tag...and I stumbled upon this:
I cannot even count how many different steps were used to create her makeup look, and while I think it looks good, that is just WAY over the top for me. My goal is to stay low maintenance, but feel pretty. I feel like I can accomplish that without 700 steps and 9852 different products. Right?!
I also got a lipstick today! I have never been big on lip color (I have a hot Barbie pink I wear when I play roller derby...post about bout day makeup another time!), but my BFF gave me her MAC Angel today and it looks so pretty on me! She didn't like it, so I was lucky to inherit it! Hooray me! (WHHHHHY does MAC lipstick smell so good?!)
Look, I'm a grown up! I left a lipstick smudge on my coffee cup. ;)
