Bob

I got my hair cut on Friday. A couple inches off the back and some shorter pieces in front. It's not AS a-line as I was hoping but I'm still really happy.  My last cut was a disappointment.  Friday night I went out for drinks with a group of fellow Marine wives. :) 


This EOTD was inspired by this:

My version:

 And the outfit I didn't actually wear. haha But hey, I like it so I'm sharing it.

Fresh for Spring

I'm definitely feeling the new season today! My weather forecast app says it's not even 60F out but I don't believe it. It's sunny and warm!

I went for a fresh makeup look. The eyes have pink, gold, peach and green. And bright lips!


 I did these nails yesterday, going for a Spring theme.  The base is Julep "Hayden" and it's basically a neon pastel which is awesome. It's a soft peach colour but super bright. Then I used Bundle Monster stamps with Julep "Kelly" (awesome green) and OPI "Dutch-ya Just Love OPI?"


I think my outfit today was subconsciously inspired by my nails...

The shoes are new! I picked up two pairs today at Old Navy, for under $30 total! These were on clearance for $12.50. Besides the fact that they cut up my ankle causing it to bleed...I really like them! Them come in black as well.
 On my toes is OPI "Planks a Lot" with some flowers I freehanded.

Almost Spring

Spring is almost here!  Bring on the wedges, floral prints, rolled cuffs, pastels and so on, right?

 Here's a purple look I did with the outfit above. Then I added a shimmery brown which I had picked up that day; I've included swatches. Here is the before.

 I got this Milani eyeshadow for 75% off at CVS last week! Such a deal. I also own this one which is from the same line.
It is much more sparkly in person!

wet over primer, dry over primer, dry no primer
It's brown but has a subtle pink shimmer which you can see better above. It showed up the most in the wet swatch. It's has red sparkles but it was a very overcast day so they don't show up well here.

 Here it is applied in the outer corners and crease to the makeup look pictured above.  It is applied dry here.


 I also tried out a new foundation that was also 75% off! It applied like powder but is almost creamy. It covers nicely and is very matte! More matte than anything else I've tried. It controls shine SO well.  It is a bit drying though. I have combination skin so I get a bit dry as well as a  bit shiny. Anyway it's called Milani Minerals Creamy Compact and I got the shade "Creamy Natural".  I do see myself using it a lot though and now I'm curious about their other pressed foundations!
