Captivate by Carrie Jones Inspired Look

Monday, February 1, 2010
Right now I'm reading Captivate by Carrie Jones and it's so good! This is the sequel to Need and much better than the first. It's very similar to Melissa Marr or Holly Black in plot, but the writing style is much more simplistic. It's a fast, fun read for anyone who likes urban fantasy, especially pixies and weres!
There's this thing in the books where the king pixie leaves behind gold glitter where he walks. I sort of went off of that to create this look!

What I used:
-The She Space LE in Cocktails and Carols- Sheer shimmering cinammon with a splash of twinkling violet
-Stardust Winter LE in Cashmere Mittens- Luxe ivory heated with copper pearl
-TKB Crucible Gold- gold
-Sephora Jumbo Eye Pencil in 507Y- baby pink
-Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter in Midnight Cowboy- beige glitter
-Hard Candy Lash Tinsel in Disco Ball- silver glitter
-NYX Jumbo lip pencil in Frosted Beige- golden beige
This was the best shot I could get of the lash tinsel! It looks sort of uneven, but its just the flash!
For this look, I took Crucible Gold all over lid and slightly into crease. Then to brighten eyes, I used the pink Sephora pencil and layered Cashmere Mittens on top. Next I took Midnight Cowboy and lined my top lids and a design on my right eye. Last I used Cocktails and Carols on the inner 1/3rd of top lid and on brows to make them glisten!

Have you read anything by Carrie Jones?

Oh and I also have a favor to ask of you girls! Can you please take this survey for my sis-in-law? She's working on a study to help psychologists understand more about how working adult's health behavior impact their experiences in the workplace. It takes about 5 minutes and is totally and completely anonymous! Thanks so much!
