FOTD/NOTD: Begrudge me Valentine..

I debated whether to even make something up for Valentine's. You'd have to forgive my attitude about the "holiday" since I'm a single gal and a "holiday" about love sucks for single people. I wanted to throw something out there anyway that may give you an idea for your day with your special someone. It's a neutral wearable look not just for Valentine's but any night out on the town. You can do like me with lots of shimmer or tone it down for a softer look.

EOTD: Golden Valentine
Products used for Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
24K Gel Liner from Coatal scents as color base all over lid
MAC Pigment in Golden Lemon on 2/3 of lid from inner corner out
MAC Pigment in Blue Brown on outer 1/3 of lid & crease
MAC e/s in Smutt in inner V and crease
MAC e/s in Shroom to blend out harsh line and highlight
Rimmel Glam Eyes Liner for top lid
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero on bottom lash/water line
MAC e/s in Carbon to smudge out and set Zero liner on waterline
NYX Fabulous Lashes in #120
CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara
Pur Minerals Brow Perfection Powder


You DO NOT have to use the exact same products I did. I totally understand everyone doesn't have these items. For the gold, there are lots of nice golds out there, Milani has one called Bronze Dolls that would work well. For the Blue Brown color you could use L'oreal's HIP Loose Pigment in Intrepid or a nice red-brown shadow. To replace Smut, any chocolate brown shadow would work.


And use your favorite highlight to blend out the harsh lines with a fluffy brush.


Make what you have work for you! I'm sure you're significant other will love the final look either way!


It should never be about the makeup when you're in front of your bf, ladies. If you can't stand in front of him without your makeup with confidence we have to look within ourselves about that.


The whole look (see below for all the products I used on my face.

NOTD: Sparkles and Valentines
Polishes Used:
Seche Vite Base Coat
Orly Purple Crush
China Glaze Carnival Lights
China Glaze Bad Kitty
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Just a simple and sparkly nail for your date. Similarly to how I did the blue & glitter NOTD post from earlier this week. I put a base of Seche Vite, then 2 thin layers of Purple Crush. On the tip I did one coat of Carnival Lights and then over it all with Bad Kitty. Make sure you let each layer dry before applying the next coat. Apply top coat and you're set!


Here's a look under a light but no flash. Sparkles like love ....yeah, that was stupid LOL..


Have fun on your dates whether you're with a lover or alone with your doggy like me -___-
