I'm back with a green LOTD

Hello all!!

I've been away for way too long!!  I have so much catching up to do with all of your posts.  For all of those who have been wondering, I am alive and well but have just had soooooo very much going on... one of these days I will catch you all up on what has been going on.  Here is a look of the day from this past week, using some HiFi and some MAC.  It's actually one of the few colorful looks I have done in a while... with this heat and as busy as I have been, I've been sticking to my new favorite simple eye.  I will share the look with you soon as it is quick, easy and perfect for an everyday work look :)
On another note, I've been going back and forth with my revlon photo ready foundation since I purchased it months ago.  Lately I have been really loving it.  It is quite thin and watery, yet provides a nice level of coverage.  It is quite comfortable on the skin and imparts a glow- which I tone down with a bit of matte powder.  

For this look I used:

Face:
Revlon Photo Ready Foundation
MAC Studio Fix Powder, dusted very lightly to set foundation
NYX Peach blush

Eyes:
ELF eye primer
MAC Sharp to inner 1/3 of lid, just up to crease (shimmery golden lime green)
HiFi BoomShakaLaka to rest of lid (sparkly green with some gold)
NYX Taupe in crease, and to blend out edges of green shadows (matte-ish tan)
MAC Dark Edge to deepen outer V and along lower lashes (deep matte brown)
Revlon Antique Lace on brow and to blend out crease (matte off white)
MAC Next to Nothing on tear duct area (frosty pinky nude)
Black liquid liner

Lips are Rimmel liner- eastend snob and NYX Beige gloss

Thanks for looking!!!

HiFi Pixies

Hello!


I have the day off today and it is beautiful out!  I'm heading over to my parents to relax by the water and eat some good food. :)

Eyes
UDPP
NYX Jumbo Pencil- Milk applied lightly all over lid
HiFi Pixies patted on outer 2/3 of lid (PIXIES is a bright, iridescent purple! Lots of glitz...just like a vision of pixie dust!)
HiFi Let it Snow on inner 1/3 of lid (LET IT SNOW reminds me of stepping outside first thing in the morning, after it has snowed all night, and seeing the crystalline blanket of snow glittering in the sun. This color is super sparkly and absolutely amazing!)
MUFE #92 outer edge of lid and into crease (matte vibrant purple)
NYX Black to deepen outer V and along lower lashline (matte black)
Revlon Matte Antique Lace on brown bone (matte off white)
Ben Nye Cake Liner- black

Blush is Revlon Matte- Peach
Lips are NYX Beige

Thanks for looking!

Hi-Fi 100 proof eyes

Hello!

Here is my first look using Hi-Fi cosmetics.  Out of the 3 colors I used on this look, only 1 was one that I chose for myself (100 proof, this was a half off shadow as its sadly being discontinued).  The other 2 were free samples included with the order.  I love free samples because they're free (LOL) and because they're like a little surprise of colors you might not have chosen for yourself, but often end up loving.  This is definitely the case with these beautiful colors.  I really like the way this came out, these colors are gorgeous and the texture is amazing. 

I'm not liking my foundation in these pics (revlon photo ready), think I'm going back to my old routine of MAC MSF natural.  The photo ready looks better IRL, really bad in pics... go figure.

Color descriptions are taken from HiFi's etsy store, with the exception of ballad.

I used:
Aromaleigh eyeshadow primer
HiFi Ballad on inner corners (about 1/3)- (I couldn't find this color in their etsy store but I'd describe it as the palest green with beautiful shimmer)

HiFi 100 proof middle of lid, blended into Ballad, almost to edge of eye- (100 PROOF is a bright neon green that is fabulous!!! )

HiFi Boom Shaka Laka applied to edge of eye, V and into crease.. and along lower lashline (BOOM SHAKA LAKA is a vivid gold-green with lots of emerald glitter! Unique and beautiful!!!)

NYX black, the tiniest amount, to deepen V and lower lashline (matte black)... then buffed some more of the Boom Shaka Laka on top of it to blend it out

I used a clinique off white color on my brow bone... not sure of the name.
Ben Nye cake liner
CG lashblast

I only used 1 brush today for the majority of the application- my Sonia Kashuk small shader brush.  I did a little bit of blending at the upper edge of the greens with my MAC 224.

Cheeks are Aromaleigh Nectar

Lips are Revlon Colorstay Ultimate in Prized Peach- this stayed on allllll day

I rarely do head on straight shots, 'cause I normally get the big eye little eye thing from the flash... and it makes my nose look bigger lol.

The next color I want to try out is Arsonist, its the 2nd form the left on the bottom row pictured below.  Any ideas on what to pair it with?  I'm thinking yellowy gold on inner corner and some matte brown in outer V.

Suggestions?? 

Thanks for looking!!

Phloof-y Purple

Hello!!

Today's look is all over the place as far as brands used.  It is a softer purple look... I guess I'm on a purple spree! 

I used:
Bare Necessity Cream Shadow as base

Revlon Matte antique lace blended above the slate (matte vanilla color)
MAC Phloof on inner 2/3 of lid, and a bit under the brow (supper shimmer pinky vanilla)
NYX Purple applied to outer V, into crease and blended into the phloof (warm midtone purple)
Mad Minerals Eggplant to deepen V (cool deep blackened purple)
Ben Nye Cake liner
CG lashblast mascara

My Lips are Rimmel Celeb
