FOTD: Foa Foa FTW

This is from Sunday - I was just too tired to post it then. Or yesterday.

Sunday night was the Survivor Samoa finale. I'd been on the Russell Hantz/Natalie White train for a while, especially knowing that Russell wasn't gonna win and Natalie had a shot and deserved it. As I always do when I'm excited for a finale, I got all made up for it. Yellow and Blue - Yellow for FoaFoa, Blue for Aiga.

Spoilers and look behind the cut.





Eyes:

• Yellow cream base on lid (used Makeup Forever flash color in yellow)
• Light gold eyeshadow on top of cream base (used MAC Pigment in Vanilla)
• Darker gold eyeshadow in the crease (used Urban Decay eyeshadow in Baked)
• Matte dark brown in outer corner (used Heavenly Naturals Lights Out)
• Same light gold eyeshadow as browbone hightlight (used MAC Vanilla Pigment)
  
• Blue eyeliner on lower lashline and waterline
  
• Sky blue eyeshadow smudged on lower lashline (used MAC pigment in Clear Blue Sky)
• Brown mascara (used Covergirl Lash Stylish in Brownish Black)

Cheeks:

• Bronze-brown blush (used The Secret Minerals shimmer powder in number 58)

Lips:

• Coral-pink lipstick (used NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink)
• Pink-brown gloss (used Bath&BodyWorks Liplicious Lipgloss in Whipped Vanilla)

Congratulations, Natalie White, on being the Sole Survivor of Survivor Samoa!!

Congratulations, Russell Hantz, on being Player of the Season and winning fan favorite!!

Week Haul : 12/14-12/20

This would actually be a bigger collection of stuff if I didn't miss the mailman on Friday and if it didn't snow like hell on Saturday. I know my orders from Sobe Bontanicals, Morgana Minerals, and Ms Cuppy Cakes all shipped this week, so I don't know what is at the post office that I have to pick up tomorrow. =/

Onto what became mine this week.

Lime Crime Candyfuture Lipstick in Cosmopop
This was actually a resend. I received my actual order the week before, but was sent an incorrect lipstick. I will have a separate review on the Lime Crime lipsticks eventually.

MAC Clear Blue Sky Pigment
Sent to me by sayanythingbr00ke from a LiveJournal sale. It's a very pretty matte sky blue color. I needed it for my Piplup makeup when I cosplay Piplup, and I've been in need of some blue eyeshadows as of late.

MAC Reflects Transparent Teal Glitter
Also sent by Brooke. I haven't used it yet, but I feel I have to for Christmas with my teal dress. =)

Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Pallete
I've been wanting this for a long time, so I bought it from Sephora with my $15 off coupon. I love the deluxe shadows so much. I've used it almost every day within the past week or so, it feels. Lovelove.

OPI Princesses Rule!
Many people talk about it, I bought it (or got it for free. There was a buy 2 get one free sale on OPI at Ulta. My mom bought two and got me this one for free.). I'm wearing it right now. Loveee it. So shimmery and pretty.

Wendy Readers from Urban Outfitters
I bought them for a Kanako Mita costume for ACen '10, but I realized the black rims were too big for Kanako. I don't know where to find large scene-y glasses though, at least not the ones I'm looking for. =/ They were worth the shot, but not perfect.

Clear Umbrella from Urban Outfitters
I've wanted a clear umbrella for a long time. I finally have one, but I have no idea how I'm getting it back to Chicago. It's literally half my height.

Armwarmers/fingerless gloves from Urban Outfitters
Never have enough glove like articles of clothing when you live in Chicago. ;)

Seafoam green top from Urban Outfitters
Not pictured because I'm wearing it. Keep an eye out for it in the next post. It's super cute. Definitely one to take back in time for spring (or take it with me to Central America? Either or)

Aromaleigh Rocks! Eyeshadows in Greenhell, Helter Skelter, Planet Earth, and Psycho Candy (none pictured due to lack of sunlight)
The lovely Anastasia from Lipsticks and Lightsabers posted about a half off sale on the Rocks! shadows, and I had to get some. I'll have a separate review when I have time to playyyy. =)

Off to watch the Survivor Samoa finale soon. Today's FOTD will be posted tomorrow or Tuesday so I can congratulate the winner. =)

Intro post.

So, maybe you're more familiar with my previous blog, Ripping Up the Real World. Maybe you're not. Considering how that was a complete failure due to how often I go against the popular opinion, I decided to start up a new blog. This blog, on the other hand, is focused more on makeup, style, all those things on which I blow my money. So, not a lot of talk about who I thought should've won Top Chef 6 or how much I want Russell Hantz to go home on Survivor Samoa (especially since I wanted Michael Voltaggio to win TC6 and Russell Hantz is my favorite on Survivor this season).

A little bit about me and the blog:

• I go to college, so I won't be able to update every second. but I will update when I can.
• I obsess about disney, watch a fair share of anime, and play Pokemon like crazy. If/when I do my tutorials, it will be focused on some kind of theme like that.
• If I mention a product in a tutorial, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm promoting it. Just use what you have, that's all I'm doing. (In other words, if I use products that have a lot of controversy, I'm not standing up for them. I'm just using them)
  
• I'm very blunt and I can swear like a sailor. Hopefully, since this is makeup related and not reality TV related, you won't see the latter part, but just a heads up.
• Since I live in the city, hauls might be the most often posted things here. Just a guess.

So, what you'll mainly see from me will be...

• Reviews
• Hauls
• Inspired looks/Tutorials
• Monthly recommendations
• Things you would normally see in video form on youtube, but in written form since youtube hates me 90% of the time?

Hope you enjoy! =)
