Challenge: Purple Flower Makeup

I did this makeup for the BBPR weekly photo challenge.  I know I made a resolution to post at least a makeup look weekly but its to hard to do now! *sigh*
I really liked the outcome, even so much that had a hard time deciding what pictures to post.

The inspiration for the look was this picture

Now my interpretation of it:

To achieve this look I used the Wet n Wild Lust and Pride palettes, , Mark liquid eyeliner, Rimmel Mascara and Elizabeth Arden eyeliner on my waterline.

FOTD: 4.21.11

That night I was in the mood for a simple eye look and a bright lip. My intention was to go Pin-up but changing the eyeliner a little bit by going navy blue instead of black and pink lips instead of the classic red. I'm still struggling to cover recent acne scars courtesy of my last period :(

Makeup Look: WnW color icon palette in Vanity

Did this look while ago when I first got the WnW color icon palettes, using the one called Vanity. I love this palettes and today I might go to Walgreens to get the new 8 pan ones. Ive been using this one even more than my 120 and the UD palettes. I Think this one specially, is great because with the help of eyeliner or some falsies yo can go from simple to dramatic in no time! :D
Here I used the Mark (Avon) On the edge liquid eyeliner and Make it big lash plumping mascara

Teal and Pale Gold look

This where the only pictures I manage to save from this look; my camera have been a pain lately :(
Here I used the 120 palette and the Mark "on the edge" hookup liquid liner

Don't have a clue why I took a pic of half my face? LoL

silver, blue, black & double winged eyeliner

Done using 120 palette and mark hookup liquid eyeliner. As usual, did it only on one eye; just playing =D

Review: mark Please Hold Eye Primer Get the look

Sometime ago was thinking Avon was a little behind because they didn't had any primers; then MagiX came in and when I was wishing for an eye primer, they introduced Mark Please Hold eye primer; are they reading my mind or what? lol  Approximately a month ago I ordered it and while it didn't beat UDPP or Paladio Herbal eyeprimer, it wasn't a disaster. 

Product description according to Avon:

A creamy, oil-free formula that is two products in one. 0.098 oz. net wt.
- Primes lids, conceals circles!
- Helps eye makeup last and stay fresh-looking!
- Helps prevent creasing!
- Covers dark spots and puffiness!
- Oil-Free!

My experience based on product description:

• Primes lids, conceals circles: my lids are dark due to insomnia and this primer did conceal that.  The skin in one of my eyes is patchy an uneven [got burn with wax] and typically when using dark eyeshadow that scar gets more noticeable, but this primer hides it nicely.  

•  Helps eye makeup last and stay fresh-looking: generally speaking, it does. But, when I used it with a NYX JEP as a color base after 5 hours or so colors started to fade.  When applied my eyeshadow without a color base it worked fine.  

•  Helps prevent creasing: Did crease when I used a cream color base, without the cream base makeup lasted pretty nicely for about 10 - 12 hours.

•  Covers dark spots and puffiness: When it comes to under eye circles didn't do much by itself but does make easier to blend the concealer [I use VS PRO Camouflage FX Concealer Palette]

• Oil-Free:  The product is so soft that may give you the impression that its oily, but is not.  It has a light consistency, it feels like you don't have anything on.  My mother as oily lids and she didn't experience any creasing.

other stuff to take into consideration:

• packaging: thin & small size compact & like the fact that it includes a mirror!

• price: $8 and I find it on the affordable side, specially if you have minor dark spots / discoloration; you could really take advantage of having two products in one [primer + concealer]

• availability: You can get it by Avon.com or via one of their representatives.

•  variety: It comes in 2 shades: Light to Medium & Medium to Dark. I got light to medium shade.

Yes, you can tell that I'm a primer junkie!!!! ahahah

happy new year * feliz año nuevo

Happy new year to everyone! hope this year will bring all of you tons of blessings :D
Back to the mu rambling, here is a pciture mix of my new years look. On the inner corner used a mineral e/s that I bought on Marianne stores here in Puerto Rico.  My camera makes it look silvery but it was iridescent. In the rest of the eye there is a mix of 2 purple e/s; one from my 120 palette and the other from the 3 stack mineral e/s I bought @ Marianne's
Please ignore [ if you can ] my under eye circles...that was part of my asthma posing as a bad ass sinus :(
