Never Can Go Wrong with Gold

Bold Gold of Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection all over the lid. Matte  Brown for the crease. Matte highlight.

I'm about to start school again! That only means early morning classes and less time to get dolled up! This is my default look for the day or night time. (Only difference is at night I usually do a darker smokey look with an addition of black). The Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Bold Gold or even Bad to the Bronze is a quick way to turn up your everyday makeup look! What's so great about these colors is that they're perfect for any season! As we are transitioning into fall, the matte brown gives the soft look, while the gold is self explanatory BOLD GOLD! This quick look allows me to have a full eye look in a matter of seconds! These cream eyeshadows by Maybelline are probably one of my TOP products in my makeup collection.

I absolutely love these Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows! I use them practically everyday whether it's alone or as a base. Some say they compare to the Paint Pots by Mac, but unfortunately I've never tried any except Ocre (since I use that as a eye shadow primer). But I find the Maybelline collection to be absolutely amazing! They have also released a new Fall 2012 LIMITED Edition collection. Which I cannot wait to try, I've only gotten my hands on two of the colors.

Two of the Eight new colors of the Fall 2012 Limited Edition Collection!

Stripes Trend! OUTFIT & MAKEUP

I absolutely adore the stripes trend! Recently got my hands on some striped high-waisted shorts too! Today for a day just to run errands, I threw on this striped shirt with puffy sleeves and red high-waisted shorts.

Top: Cotton On ($10)
Shorts: Forever21 ($13)

(more natural lighting)

I wanted to keep the look simple, but refreshing. I wore a complete face with Trace Gold sheer tone blush by MAC as a contour with Pink Passion and Candid Coral (both) by E.L.F. (mixed together for more natural look) for my blush. For my eye look, I used Too Cool (of course from the Maybelline Color Tattoo collection, I'M OBSESSED WITH!) all over my lid, with a medium brown in my crease to keep the look light, but add depth to my eyes. The Too Cool on my lid came be a more youthful with brighter eyes look. With no eyeliner, I just added the dramatic lashes by E.L.F. For my highlight, I used a nude shimmer color. Hope you guys enjoyed this look!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Kicking spring looks into high gear now! I wanted to look a bit dressy for my last day of lectures today! Dressed up my floral tank top from the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls with a pale pink blazer from Forever21. Stacking bracelets is so popular now. Mixed pearls with some gold bangles and a neon yellow pyramid bracelet, which seemed to match my tank top perfectly! Threw in some green eyeliner to my eye look to complete the whole look. Used a glittery pink to buff out the colors with a brown in the crease and of course has Too Cool from the Color Tattoo collection by Maybelline.

Purple Please -- Open eye look ...

Here's the look from the post "Purple Please" with my eyes open and in better lighting! Hope you enjoy!

With the Waves

A simple spring look today. Do a golden brown crease from my Warm Palette from Coastal Scents with a blue winged eyeliner. I used Clash from Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil for the winged eyeliner. I placed the blue eyeliner directly above my normal winged liner to give the eye more drama.

Purple please.

Excuse the piece of hair that is stuck in my eyebrow that makes it look like I have one random long eyebrow hair. And excuse my old lashes that I adore and still use. With two Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadows and purples from my Coastal Scents warm palette, I created this simple look. Did this randomly while quickly getting ready this morning. I've been trying to experiment with colors for Spring and Summer trends, but this by far is my favorite! Let me know what you think! What Color Tattoo eyeshadows are your faves?!
