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...

A picture of my nails close up

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!

We All Live in a Turquoise Submarine...LOTD

Hello, All! New blogs 2 days in a row? I know, shocking! But after trying out my new China Glaze polish, I had to throw on a shirt that matched it, and then my makeup had to match my shirt! I decided on my tie-dye Beatles shirt that features the Yellow Submarine, which is how I chose to label this entry. So here's my look today:

Yeah, sexy, I know. So as promise, I used one of my new Sugarpill shadows here, Royal Sugar. I like that it's super full of shimmer, but it tends to end up swirling in the air as I apply it, and that creeps me out a little for some reason. Maybe I feel like I'll choke on it or something...who knows. I also used Afterparty here, and both are amazing! Amy knows how to make her colors bright and awesome!

I didn't like the polish matte, so I added glitter!

Here's the polish that started it all: China Glaze's Turned Up Turquoise! I also put a coat of nails inc. special effects holographic glitter topcoat in Electric Lane. I then threw on Sally Hansen's No Chip Acrylic topcoat.

I tried something new with my hair, gathered it to one side, twisted it, and put a barrette near the bottom.

I think it turned out pretty well... I may try this again.

Close up!

Products Used:

NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk
