January 2011 Series: 31st

I really wanted to sport a bold lip after a month of wow eyes & light lips. I had a feeling I wouldn't be touching eyeshadows for a while because I'd be too busy catching up on lost sleep from waking up early just to do my makeup & taking a break from spending so much time in front of the mirror! Hah, kidding - well, not really.

Anyway, since I've been playing with eyeshadows all month, I knew I'd be going easy on my eyes for at least a few days. Before doing that, I thought for my last look I'd do a neutral eye to go perfectly with bold red lips.

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion [base]
  • 120 palette (1st edition): shimmery light brown [lid] - O6
  • MAC eyeshadow in Saddle [outer half of crease]

January 2011 Series: 25th



Someone told me they were watching a movie & spotted my look-a-like: America Olivo. I had never heard of her before, so I decided to quick search & found a makeup look done on her that I liked & saved it in my makeup inspirations folder. In this look she has yellow, orange, & purple on her lids, a dark purple on her lower lashlines, & a very shimmery shade used as the highlight.

America Olivo


My inspired look is a bit different - I used a dark blue & purple on the lower lashline & my highlight wasn't as shimmery. I would've probably stuck to a dark purple on the lower lashline like America had in her look but I didn't have the inspiration picture in front of me when I was doing my makeup (silly of me, I know). I like how it turned out with the blue though.




Products Used:
  • NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk
  • 120 palette (1st edition): shimmery yellow [inner third of lid + tearduct] - F5, shimmery orange [middle third of lid] - E6, shimmery dark blue [lower lashline] - T2, light gold [highlight + tearduct (over the yellow)] - K6
  • Annabelle Cosmetics Mineral Pigment Dust in Violet Vibe [outer third of lid + outer V + crease + browbone + lower lashline (under the shimmery dark blue)]
  • L'Oreal Lineur Intense felt tip liquid eyeliner in 690 Carbon Black [upper lashline & winged]
  • Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara in 003 Extreme Black [upper & lower lashes]
  • Note: I didn't apply anything on my waterline. The shimmery dark blue made its way there since I had applied it so close to the base of my lower lashes.

Delayed January 2011 Series Posts

Hello readers,

Looks from today (Saturday the 22nd) to Wednesday (26th) will be delayed & should be posted by Thursday (27th). I will still be doing looks everyday & taking pictures, but I'm a bit too busy to select the best pictures of the lot, edit pictures, & post everyday. They'll be posted for sure by later on next week though, so make sure to check back around then!

I still have to try out some requested colour combinations, but if you have any more requests for colour combinations, keep them coming & I'll see if I can squeeze them in.

Hope you're having a great weekend & still keeping up with your resolutions/goals for 2011.
