Makeup challenge fail + FOTD, finally!

So, you can probably tell from the lack of updates how miserably I failed my FOTD challenge. I did maybe one look right after that post, but I ended up getting so lazy!!! >.<  Lol, oh well, you girlies would’ve probably gotten sick of my face anyway. Seriously, I hate myself for giving up so easily, but I do realize that making myself do five consecutive FOTD’s might have been a little too much!

Anyway, I managed to put a look together with the help of the hubby, aka mr. camera man, and I am really proud of how it turned out. I did wear a toned down version of the look to school this morning, but I decided to spice it up for the FOTD. So here it is, and I’m calling it “Pretty Ruthless”. Lol, please help me work on my naming skills!

This is a close-up of the eyes, the color is much more blue/gray IRL (courtesy of my 88 warm palette), but the flash and my hubby’s sucky camera skills failed to capture the true color. :D

I used:

EYES:

88 Warm Palette ( silver, metallic blue, matte black)

MAC Blush in Cubic

MAC Dazzleglass in Soft Dazzle

Here’s another one of me trying to be “model-esque” but sucking at it! The hubsters said I looked good in it, so I just wanted to show you guys.

In other news, I’m pretty frustrated with life right now! I know I’ve brought it up a few times, but college life really is taking a toll on me, both mentally and physically. I’ve been breaking out like crazy and gaining a buttload of weight. The hubby still says I’m sexy, but he has to say that – I think the whole, “you look good baby” package came with the wedding ring! I know I brought it upon myself (taking 7 classes this sem. + 2 in the summer just so I can graduate this fall), but sometimes I feel like the pressure never ends. I really can’t wait till December – I’m planning to throw a big party and hopefully be able to take a much-needed vacation next year. Sorry for unloading all of this drama here, hope I didn’t talk your ears off. Till the next time ladies, muah!

  2. Oooh, I love this! I noticed you didn't do the five day FOTD's, and I was slightly sad, but this makes up for it. Your eyeshadow is gorgeous! I think I want to try it on myselfff. Good luck with your college courses! 7 classes must be terrible :( But at the end of the year, you'll look back on it and be really proud for pushing yourself that hard, right? :)

  3. @ Krystal Leigh - Thank you, I love this top!

    @Sulora - Thank you, I'm still a noob when it comes to blending skills, but you know what they say: Practice, Practice, Practice!!!
    As for college, true. I may complain about, but taking this much right now will considerable ease my load for my last semester. :D

  4. I love the look! Don't worry I feel your pain about classes!!! I am too breaking out like crazy! Cystic acne! And they are the worst! Anyways, I don't know if you have heard of Mario Badescu's drying lotion, but they are amazing for acne!

    Oh and thank you for commenting on my blog!
