Gothic Valentine's Day Look: Black Rose

Happy Friday!!!  Ohhh TGI effin F!!

Since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, I wanted to post a look for the occasion.

This look is very different than the typical sweet and girly look (which I still love-thank you very much).

I wanted to put a darker, almost Tim Burton-like twist on a Valentine’s Day look.  So I did just that, and called it “Black Rose”.  However, I can’t take the credit for that name.  My roommates friend came over and took one look at me and said “woa” (he couldn’t understand why I was decked out at 9 o’clock on a Thursday night) when I explained what I was doing he said “oh, I get it.  Like a black rose.”  Genius! Yes!  Like a black rose!  See, who said men are completely useless?! Hehe

I must admit, I’m letting my brows grow in a tad before getting them threaded next week, hence why there are as woofin as they are.  Pardonne moi!

Without further ado, here’s the look:  




Eyes:
[NYX] Jumbo eye pencil in Milk (all over eye are)
[MAC] Carbon (outer half of eye)
[MAC] Cranberry (inner half of eye)
[BH] 120 Palette
[Stila] Stay All Day waterproof liquid liner in Carbon Black
[Smashbox] eye liner pencil in Onyx
[NYX] lashes- forgot the style number :/

Face:
[MAC] Cranberry (lightly dusted on cheeks)
[Sheer Cover] Plum Perfect blush
[Too Faced] Candlelight

Lips:
[Lime Crime] Carousel gloss in Kaleidoscope

Requested Look: Kris Jenner Eyes

Good day lovely's!

My dear friend had the strangest request for a look that she wanted me to do...Kris Jenner?  Yes, the lovely mother of the ever so famous Kardashian crew!

At first I thought, this look was going to be all about the black eye shadow; then I realized a) its a combo of several colors: black, gray, brown, and whatever highlighter for the day, and b) the lashes are really a main contributor in this look!

I won't go into extreme detail with this because it was pretty easy.  However, if you would like to know what products I used, leave a comment below and I will gladly fill you in :)

Dolly Wink lashes

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Happy Hump Day!

This is what happens when you watch too much Jersey Shore!  Don't judge me.
