Day 57

It's been a while since I did a full look.  My skin was hating at me, but it's mostly better.  And honestly, I didn't care anymore because I wanted to play with makeup!  After I finished, I realized I have done too many neutral looks lately.  My goal for the next couple of weeks is to do anything but neutral.  So, on with the look...

Day 55 - Current Favorite Jewelry




The 2 outer necklaces get worn all the time, as do the rings.  The middle ring is a spoon ring, and I think it's the cutest trend!  I also like that it was made locally, and I purchased it in downtown Lafayette.  I haven't worn the earrings yet, but I love them both. 

I don't wear a lot of jewelry, and tend to prefer simple things.

Day 54 - Scent


This is my current scent addiction, and has been for the last month or so.  I suck at describing scents, and can only say this smells sweet and sexy on me.  The description from the site says:

"The burlesque? It's got nothing on you. They're only women. You are mermaid and siren, the wind, the wonderment, the shipwreck, the storm. Beneath your smile, your coiled limbs, men see diamonds or doubloons, glory or gooseberry wine. Each day you're placed like a crown on a pedestal, and every night you're carried home like a prize. And the crowd secedes into reveries that you spin, tucked under your velvet elbows, a willowy song bending like a girl without bones. You own their dreams.

Carefully blended and infused by me in small batches in vintage glass wine bottles, this is a crisp, green, ethereal tea fragrance with a little opium bite. More than a dozen different scent elements and several days of methodical alchemy make Serpentina no ordinary scented oil mix—it's a truly inimitable fragrance. Just for tart little kicks, this batch is laced with tiny beads of blood-red wine.

Handcrafted Calliope Crash fragrances by DarlingClandestine are suspended in pure jojoba, rice bran and grapeseed oils. This listing is for 1/2 oz. of Serpentina in an amber glass bottle."

It can be purchased at Darling Clandestine.  I have purchased a few scents from this shop, and highly recommend it!

Day 52 NOTD


A little messy, but the color is pretty, and this is only one coat!  It's No Regrets from Kat Von D.  I stopped at Sephora in California to pick up some perfume and my birthday gift, and this was on sale for $3.  Not bad.

Day 51

So it took a little bit longer to catch up than I thought, but I have been wearing makeup and taking pics, so here we go.



And this is how I looked 9 hours later, after spending 3 hours in 90+ degree heat, with no touch-ups...




The normal routine for me, using Facebomb Cosmetics colors, with a Fyrrinae Lip lustre.

Catching Up - My Birthday

I turned 30 on June 1st, and celebrated by spending 8 days in Los Angeles with one of my best friends.  What follows are photos of my makeup, and some of my favorite pictures from the vacation.  Starting Monday, I will get back to posting looks, and get back to reality.  Today, I am going to enjoy my last day of vacation.  Here's to a new decade!
