Look of the day, 8/14/14

I won't flood you with these every day, but today I was particularly impressed. 
Products used:
Hourglass Primer
Nars Sheer Glow foundation
Tarte Rainforest After Dark highlighter/blush/bronzer
Kat Von D Saint palette
Marc Jacobs gel eye liner in Brownout
Urban Decay Perversion mascara and eye shadow primer
Bite Beauty Matte lip creme in Framboise

Purple please.

Sometimes, I'm indecisive.  This seems to be most apparent when attempting to choose from the massive amount of nail polish, especially with my recent interest in Enchanted Polish, which lead to discovering places to buy them, which lead to the discovery of more awesome 5 free brands.  Given the influx of so many choices, one must find a way to wear all the colors, usually at once.  As such I bring you the Purple Please manicure.
Thumb and pinky:  Enchanted Polish Mercy
Index and middle fingers:  Lilypad Lacquer Purple People Eater
Ring finger: Colors by Llarowe Liquor is Quicker

I like the formula on all of these polishes, but they aren't my favorite, as EP and LPL have great holo finishes but take forever to dry..  I will say EP tends to run on thicker side, so be prepared for that.   Colors by Llarowe is an awesome place to get started, as they offer tons of shades and finishes.  Each color has two coats over butter London Horsepower, no top coat.  

Does anyone want to see hauls or more swatches?  Curious about 5 free or indie nail brands?  Leave me a comment, and I'll do my best to share!

Free Pokemon!

Today marks the first day of Nintendo's Heracross and Pinsir downloads.  You will only be able to download one Pokemon based on which version (X or Y) one owns.  All one needs to do is download them through the WiFi option of mystery gift.  Nintendo will be releasing the mega stones for each Pokemon through GameStop with codes starting August 18th I believe.

Happy gaming!

This was supposed to be my first blog post…

So I guess I'd best get this post out of the way.  

First and foremost, this blog is a creative outlet.  Expect to see lots of photography, whether professional quality or Instagram shots of my fur babies.  Photography offers a glimpse into the soul, showing what we value in what we choose to save.

There will be a lot of make up and nail polish.

Hair dye too.

  I do make up for myself, because I enjoy it, not because society says I need to change my appearance.   I try to only use cruelty free products, I don't think testing for cosmetics is efficient or necessary.  I am a girly girl, and that's okay.  

I have some pretty random allergies and Celiac's disease, so there will be gluten free goodness served up hot and fresh too! 

I hope you feel inspired, or at least amused by this. 

 I do.
