A Colorful Look I Wanted to Try Out from YouTube

I forget what it was called because I got it from eyeXluvXmakeup (on Youtbue – who I subscribe to) who got her version inspiration from JulieG (who is also on Youtube – who I am NOT subscribed to so I didn’t see the original version).  I like to do some very colorful, sometimes unwearable looks and dark, vampy looks on the weekends and when I go out so of course I decided to go for it.

I wanted to try it out on my eyes because I have “chinky” eyes and less lid space to work with so that those with the chink factor can see that although it doesn’t look like the original looks that inspired me, that it does in fact work for us.  When I open my eyes the only part of eyeshadow that shows is my brow bone highlight and a little of my upper lid which sucks, but this is the eye shape that God has given to me so I have no choice but to work with them.  When I look down and over that’s when you can see my look perfectly, but who looks down to the side all day?  LOL.

I subscribe to mostly Asian beauty gurus who do eyeshadow tutorials because most of them share my eye shape.  Normally, I don’t copy looks from others to post on my blog, but I really like my version of the look so I decided to post it.

Keeping Reading & See More Of My Pics!

My Brush Collection is growing.

As I stated before, I have a love hate relationship with my Essence of Beauty Brushes, but I think I love them more than hate now. I’m learning how to work with them and they are great for the price. I will not throw them out. I’ve come to the realization that I hate dual brushes. I just don’t like how they look is all. I hate them.

It’s really sad that I have to report that the MAC logo and numbers of the brushes on my 239 and 217 brushes are rubbing off. I don’t know what’s up with that! I am so broken hearted. I am now careful to hold my MAC brushes on the ends of the wands when I’m washing them so that I don’t rub off the logo and numbers. So sad. They are still MAC brushes so it’s not really a tragedy, but it still hurts like hell.

Here is a pic of my brushes drying after their deep cleaning today. I use Johnson’s Baby Shampoo Extra Conditioning to deep clean my brushes. The only brushes missing from this picture is my Essence of Beauty Blush & Powder dual Brush that I don’t use because I don’t like it so no need to wash it and my Bare Escentuals Mini Buki Brush (which I’ve never used).  The MAC 224, MAC 219 and Sonia Kashuk Fluffy Eyeshadow brushes are my newest brushes. I have shaped them and here they are…
