Eros Wearable Wednesday

xsparkage — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:28:14 +0000

Eros is the Greek God of Love and Beauty. I used this as inspiration to do a look I would consider a flirty first date look, as it has hues of pinks and purples, and looks innocent, yet fun and eye-catching

and for good measure..

Organization Tip: Tool Turnabout for Brushes

xsparkage — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:26:40 +0000

I have been using one of these for brushes for years It’s great if you are like me and have a bajillion brushes, or even a great way to organize other products as well, like eyeliners, lipliners, lipgloss, etc!

This is available from Pampered Chef, but I have also heard from people in the comments of my video that you can get similar ones from Target, Staples, and Michael’s

Athena Wearable Wednesday

Athena was the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. I took inspiration from the wisdom part, and did a look that is super simple but beautiful on anyone, that takes very little time for those who may have to get up early for a demanding job, school, etc

I really need some “swatch picture 101″ lessons, sheesh! I haven’t used my camera in quite a few weeks and I guess with all the other nonsense going on around here I completely forgot how to do anything with it lol. It took forever to even get decent nail shots! Ah well, I’ll figure it out!

Anyways, here are the only two nail looks I’ve done in probably 2 months lol. Gotta start wearing polish more often!!

I really want the new ORLY polishes, I’ve heard so much buzz about them!

I really like how this look turned out It has all the color elements of the packaging of York Peppermint Patties, along with the colors of the candy itself! It’s also not too over the top, fun fun

Not sure why my close up eye pictures kinda suck today.. sorry!!

This is a short 3 video mini series showing looks for blue, green, and brown eyes. I have had a lot of people ask why I am not including hazel eyes, and there is a few reasons: the first mainly being that I just ran out of time before moving to film another video. I really was planning to do a video for hazel eyes, but time got the better of me and I had to pack everything up before I knew it! Another reason is that since hazel eyes tend to consist of a combination of all brown, green, and blue, I really feel that people with hazel eyes can wear any of these looks, depending on what color they want to emphasize. I’ve also gotten requests for gray eyes, but I feel like gray eyes can be put in with blue eyes. Later on, once I’m all set up here, I may add on to this series and do a look for hazel and gray eyes, but that’s mainly why they weren’t included this time around.

This is going to be a new series that will come out on Mondays (I have like 5 ‘series’ that come out on Mondays, so it’ll kinda be a tossup on what Monday it will come out on!) This is very similar to review videos, but I’m going to try and be a little more in-depth than reviews tend to be. The first one is going to be on some nail polishes I have had for quite some time. and posted blog posts about, but never a video review: Eyeko Polishes!

Here are some Swatches:

Petite Polish, Tea Rose Polish, Coral Polish, Posh Polish, Vampira Polish.

These are available from eyeko.com for $5.50 each.
