Sinful Colors Nirvana & Nailtini Millionaire

Hi there!
Besides looking for a steady job, I've been trying to stop procrastinating when it comes to crop & watermark pictures.  I love to blog but the picture part gets a bit annoying when you take 10,000 pics but you barely like one or two :(

In Puerto Rico, Spring & Summer is basically the same thing.  The seasons call for bright colors, but I can't help reach for something darker and rich like Nirvana!  I love how with colors like Nirvana you can go from elegant to sexy in a minute.

While looking for ideas on how to pair Millionaire with another polish, I came across this Chalkboard Nails look and decided to replicate it.

In real life Nirvana is darker than how it looks on this pictures

I'm thinking next time I'll pair Millionaire with China Glaze Trendsetter...What do you think?

eotd: NYX herb and brown

After last weekend's craze with the super -failure NYX anniversary sale I remember of a look I did some time ago with their single eyeshadows in herb and brown. I've tried to do something with herb (deep olive shade with golden shimmer) but get out of ideas when it comes to work with it. This have been my only attempt and I like it, but I should have gone stronger on the eyeliner.

Avon 24k Gleam Gold quad

This quad was part of a collection launched last year if I'm not wrong, this particular quad was limited edition. They have other quads on the True Color collection that are part of the permanent collection.

Names of the shades according to the back of the quad:

gold frost: pale pink with gold shimmer, it as a pearl finish (top left)
24K: true gold (top right)
gilded violet: plum with golden shimmer (bottom left)
bronze treasure: redish brown with golden shimmer (bottom right)

I think the color scheme works beautifully and the shimmer is subtle, elegant; but wish they was more pigmented.  Despite the fact of the medium range pigmentation, I love this quad and will force myself to create something with it. As a random fact, gilded violet reminds me of Awakening polish from China Glaze :p

Avon Beyond Color lipsticks

I keep finding "more old than cold" swatches in my random folders LoL
This are from several Avon Beyond Color lipsticks.  I like this lipsticks because they are very smooth and pigmented.  My least favorite shade is Chocolate Frosting, I really don't know why I got it????
Peach Daiquiri and Cantaloupe will be a perfect pair for this season.

WnW Color Icon trio - Sweet As Candy

Sweet As Candy was the first trio I got from the Color Icon collection. I bought it last year at Walmart and have used maybe once or twice.  I picked this one because the colors really appealed to me.  It looked like a romantic color scheme, ideal for a easy makeup look. I still like the color scheme but they eyeshadows itself not much.

I didn't had high expectations for the pink shade because on my eyelids muted pinks like this are barely noticeable, but was expecting more from the other two colors.  Maybe the problem with them is the consistency, its super soft, so I had to really packed it up, but it ended up fading.  I didn't risk it packing on a cream base, afraid of creasing.  I might give it another try late.

You can tell I luv gold! look

Yeah, that's one of my go-to colors, find it easy to incorporate to any situation or outfit! 

In person the orange looked more wearable but as always, my crappy camera doesn't translate my looks well, specially the ones I end up quite pleased with
For this look I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in gold as a base over my lid and a little above my crease.  As for the eyeshadows used orange, gold, black and bronze from the 120 palette.
For eyeliner used an Elf  e/l in brown.  Also tried to use some gold and then brown on my waterline but it started to irritate my eyes; had to remove it before taking the pictures.

I'm stuck!

Recently I've been stuck on my eye makeup, the only colors I can think of are gold, bronze, black or brown
This sucks! specially when you have a 120 palette and a ton of other eyeshadows to choose from and create!
Have this happened to you?

For this look I used the 120 palette and Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting lipstick in tiger eye.  My camera emphasized the lipstick pink undertone and in person its not so opaque

sorry for the hair all over the place & blurriness, I took this in a hurry before going out

decided to try the Elf complexion perfection and while it does cover redness nicely, makes me look super pale in pictures

gold & bronce

I went out last night & my plan makeup wise at the beginning was more dramatic but then it became so hot in here that I opted for something super simple; and barely using anything in the rest of my face.  It was so hot I though I was melting!

this is my go-to look when my plan changes

Tried to take some pics showing the upper part of my dress but was a little difficult doing it by myself

Gold, Green and Brown

Used Aromaleigh [golden chrysalis and winged psyche] and Elf eye shadows [ brown color and highlight]. As usual only did one eye; just playing. Really liked the color combo, as you can see I can't manage to do better when it comes to liquid eyeliner.
