Lovely Sunset

I was walking back from the gym today and the sun was setting. I usually don't stop and look at things when I have my ipod plugged in and I'm jammin back to my dorm, but this was quite a sight.
It made me really appreciate the bigger things in life and made the less important problems in my life obsolete.
I was also inspired! The color of the sky was a really pretty pink and purple. I think most people have seen a sunset like this and agree it is stunning!



Here is my makeup take on it





AZN ALERT lol



I got this look by using my blessed Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 2 full of all sorts of pretty little colors to play with!


The colors I used were Sphynx, AC/DC, Ecstasy, Gunmetal, and Perversion.
I checked online and this book of shadows is selling for upwards of $100!!! KRAAAZAY
Thank god I got mine as soon as it came out. I guess sometime it pays to be an impulse buyer lol. (most of the time it doesn't! My wallet gets sad.)

Well I'm going to try and get some sleep even though there is a drunk guy screaming profanities in the hall and the girl next door to me is having very loud uninhibited sex. Ohhhhhh college...

Quick and Simple Smokey Eyes

As a college kid, I feel like life is non-stop. I'm always having to do something, or a deadline is coming up, or there are 50 projects going on at the same time.
There are even times when I'm going out for the night and have to be out the door in 10 minutes. I have come up with a solution when time is running out and I needa look glam as quickly as possible.
This is a sparkly smokey eye that I do for those special times of 10 minute craziness!

SMILE :)

This literally only takes like 10 minutes, and I think its the slight messiness of it that I like. Of course I could take much more time and make a neater smokey eye, but sometimes I just can't allot that much time.

Products used:

1) Urban decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
2) any sparkly silver eyeshadow (I used a limited edition heidi klum palette from VS so it's not in stores anymore I don't think.)
3) MAC plushlash mascara
4) Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Just Enough Buff (have you seen all those ads w/ Hally Berry rockin this shade?)

How to:

1) Line thickly all around eyes, and in the water line with UD pencil
2) sweep silver shadow on top lids, then take a small brush and blend the black eyeliner with the silver shadow
3) Line top lids again with liner
4) on bottom lash line blend the liner out so it's smudgy, then sweep a bit of silver over the smudged black
5) curl lashes and put on 3 coats of volumizing mascara
6) finish with nude lipstick

Pretty simple! And don't worry about being perfect smokey eyes are rarely perfect

Of course, I don't know what works best for you but this is how I did it on myself. Feel free to play around with it and see what works! That's why I find makeup to be so much fun :)
