Let Them Eat Cake

Yo peeps! It's been a while, but as I start to unwind from my difficult week, it seemed to be the perfect opportunuty to head to my local hookah bar and pop out a blog or two. This one is gonna be about the MakeUp Bee/Lime Crime contest I entered. With the release of their newest D'Antoinette collection, Lime Crime decided to host a contest. They wanted whimsical looks based upon the life and style of Marie Antoinette. I was really excited about this contest, especially since I had played Marie Antoinette in a class project. I had it made until I was "beheaded" during our reenactment of the French Revolution.

After researching her more carefully and looking at tons of painting of her, I decided to go with a wild child modern day look. I had a lot of fun with this and hope you guys enjoy it too. I didn't take any pictures during application, but I took tons of picture afterward for everyone to see. I call this look 'Cake Eater', although it is not believed that she ever told anyone "Let them eat cake."

Here's my official entry pic:

I figured I would go with an extremely girly color scheme: pink, white, and silver. Fortunately the white wasn't too much of a stark contrast against my skin, I guess I'm getting better at my blending, YAY! :)

Products Used (most of them):
 Sugarpill shadows in Dollipop, Tako, Love+, and (accidentally) Bulletproof.
Wet N Wild palette in Spoiled Brat
Mac pigment in Fuchsia


I also did my nails for this and thought they looked awesome, which is why I made sure to include a pic of them. Here are some others as well...

This is before I added the hat,

And here with the hat, which I love!!!!

For this one I was going for "My head's about to be cut off"

Until next time,


HASTA LUEGO!

Rasta Baby

Just a quick look I threw together, I tried it recently when I was in Costa Rica, but it was totally rushed then so I wanted to give it another go. I think even though I messed up it turned out pretty well and I can't wait to try it out for a night on the town.

PRODUCTS USED:

Sugarpill Cosmetics in- Love+, Asylum, Buttercupcake, Bulletproof

Sephora Prisma chrome in No 20 Gold Reflection

NYX ultra pearl mania in #30 Jade pearl

Pixi Endless Silky Eyepen in No 1 Black/Noir

Maybelline Master precise eyeliner in Black

e.l.f. primer

NYX eyeshadow base

Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express mascara in Blackest Black

NYC lipstick in Retro Red (308)

NYC Kiss Gloss mixed with Asylum

Initially I was going to use all matte colors for this, but on a whim I decided to use the NYX green to fill in the outer corner. I had never used it, and it seemed like a good bright (but not neon or lime) green. While I loved the color, I didn't want only the outer corners to have a shimmer, so I went over the Love+ with Asylum and over the Buttercupcake with the Sephora gold. The green was pretty stubborn once it was in place on the lid, so I ended up mixing the black with green instead of just putting black on my outer V and crease. Fortunately, I still like how the greenish black turned out.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the precision of the Maybelline liner! They don't call it Master Precise for nothing! It's really good for making thin but noticeable lines. I'm not great at liquid liner, but this felt tip is super easy to work with, build up, and make awesome finishing touches to your look.

Hope you guys enjoyed....

HASTA LUEGO!
