Random Egyptian Treasures

Hey y'all, I don't actually say y'all, but it does have a nice ring to it when you write it down. Reminds me of the American South (which I do love).
Anyway, here's a really quick look for you that I created before heading out for a delicious teppanyaki Japanese food.

I used the Egyptian Treasures collection by Meow, although I don't remember exactly which ones. Oops, my bad! Oh well, here they are for your eyeshadow loving pleasure!

Also, Ana over at Lipstick and Lightsabers is holding a contest for Shiro cosmetics. Go check it out!

Till next time,

OMG HAI!

 Hello! I haven't stopped to post here in awhile, although I do miss it dearly. You see, work and school have completely monopolized my time. Every morning I wake up to go somewhere to do something...every day, including weekends. I just finished my midterm today, and thought I really need to play with my makeup. I've been so busy that I've hardly worn anything on my face. That, and I got told at work to tone my makeup down (BOO!). After that incident, I toned it down for a bit...but I've recently started amping up the colour again despite what my manager said. I mean, why can't feel girly while wearing an ugly, formless uniform? He's just old fashioned...my guests always comment on my eyeshadow, and seem to love it!

Today I got some mail from Meow Cosmetics. It's actually the first time I've ordered from them, and I'm very impressed! I've had my eye on the Egyptian Treasures collection for awhile now, and finally buckled when they offered free shipping a couple weeks back. I love them all.

I ordered four full sizes in: *Royal, *Artifact, *Anubis, and *Scarab

I LOVE scarab. It's a metallic lime green, and it's to die for.

Here's a look I did today:

I used:

All my usuals on my face. Nothings changed with my routine.

Eyes: TFSI....I didn't use Pixie Epoxy for this one, but it still turned out REALLY vibrant and stuck well.

Lid: Meow Artifact

Brow bone: Meow Treasure

Crease: Meow Royal

Lining lower lid: Meow Scarab

Eyeliner for upper lid: Fyrinnae Bastet mixed with some eyeliner mixing medium by MAC. I also lightly lined the outer corner of bottom lid.

Mascara: Some random Revlon one.

Lips: My own creation!

oOOo, and I died my hair black. Never mind my nasty looking bangs, I went them prior to this and forgot to dry them. My bad.

Hope your doing well, thanks for stopping by!

Lost in Faerie: Earth Faerie

Hello! Sorry for my absence, the last couple weeks have been crazy awesome, what with my new job in a fancy restaurant and the ending of the summer semester!

I'm so sad that Aromaleigh is now closed. I will miss them. Luckily, I stocked up on all of my favourite colours. I will be making a post on my final order later.

This look was super simple. I just used Donella and Zanna from Lost in Faerie overtop of some TFSI. I used all of my usuals on mah face, and a touch of Aromaleigh's lip balm (which I still heart so much).

See you again soon!
