Share The Love at a Wedding Reception
Hello, Fireflies!
Recently, I went to a wedding. Well, not so much a wedding, as the couple had previously eloped. It was a reception, but nothing fancy. It was outside, and dress was casual.
So, basically, I went to a party where I really didn't know that many people, and there was no dancing, and I sweated a lot. But, I am happy for the couple, and I'm glad they included us.
Since it was a wedding, it's appropriate to share the love, right? I mean, NailNation3000 Share The Love, a fuchsia holo! And some rose water decals.
Water decals are so easy and fun. Simply cut out around the decal - no need to be precise - and soak them in water for 10-20 seconds. When you pull them out of the water, they'll separate from their paper backing, and then you can place them on your nails.
I also did some pinkish makeup for the event. I was running late, so hubby took this picture in the car at a stoplight on the way there!
Trying out my new Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette! I love Too Faced products.
It was hot, there was no A/C, but Cover FX saved the day! The CC Cream held on admirably over a mix of anti-aging and SPF primer. Here's my makeup after I got home from the wedding. I only reapplied lipstick - changing from Milani Power Lip in Raspberry Tart to Tarina Tarantino Floriculture after dinner.
Dang. My hair is a frizzy mess. I hate Florida heat.
The stable of makeup for the day: Cover FX primers in SPF30 and Anti-Age, Blemish primer and Eyeshadow primer, and also Setting Powder. Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow in Pravana, Hourglass Ambient Light in Mood Light, Rimmel Scandal Eyes RetroGlam mascara, Nars Black Valley and Maybelline Studio Eyes in Eggplant, Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette, and Milani Power Lip in Raspberry Tart (going) and Tarina Tarantino Floriculture (after dinner).
Not pictured, but I know I used a setting spray.. either ELF or Urban Decay. Not sure. They both work well for me.
What are your tips for keeping your cool (and your makeup fresh) during this summer heat?

Orange is the new ...blue
Hello, Fireflies!
Do you remember that really cool turquoise gradient nail art that I did a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away?
I mean, yesterday? Well, I built a look around it to go hang out with my friends and watch the new season of Orange Is The New Black!
My little green monster decal is peekin' out from behind me. He has a blue friend hiding behind my head. They have cartoon bubbles that the husband and I use to write notes on. I thought you might want to know this. Fun behind-the-scenes tidbit!
My face makeup started with my trusty stable of Cover FX products, including the Mattifying primer, the Eye primer, the BB Gel, and the Setting powder, which I used to warm up my face as a subtle contour. Jouer blush in Dahlia, which is one of my new fave cream blushes, gave me a little color, and so did Too Faced La Creme in Believe.
For my eye makeup, I used the Tarina Tarantino Emerald Pretty palette, which I'm now a huge fan of. I love these buttery eyeshadows! I also used my Physicians Formula black liquid liner, and Rimmel ScandalEyes RetroGlam mascara.
I tried the Mally Poreless Face Defender for the first time, instead of powder. It still dried with a powdery finish on me, and looked a little more cakey than I would have liked. I'm going to try it with a different combination of products next time.
Because I'm watching this show with friends, and we made a pact to ONLY watch it together, I still have a few more episodes to finish season 2 - so no spoilers, please! It's killing me already to not binge watch it, but I do try to be a woman of my word.
Are you having viewing parties for any shows? Do you cheat and binge on your own?
