Sun n' Clouds!

Saturday, April 17, 2010
I just got the new Simple Pleasures Spring collection from Stardust and I've been in love. My favorites of the collection are Sun n' Clouds, Crystal Nude and Sparklefiend (what a cute name!). Simple Pleasures is a must have!

I'm working until midnight tonight, so I wanted something simple, but fancy enough to go out after.

What I used:
-Stardust Simple Pleasures Sun n' Clouds- Soft gray base with an intense golden frost
-Urban Decay 24/7 in Zero- black
-Random matte black shadow
-Stardust Simple Pleasures In Love Blush- Muted cool toned rose. Soft matte finish
-Stardust luminizer in Dewy- Natural glow
-Revlon matte lipstick in Pink Pout
Hehe I have my flying pig pajamas on!
I used Elf Primer all over lid, then gently patted on Sun n' Clouds. The golden sheen is much more vibrant in person! Then I lined with Zero and patted on a matte black over top.
I really like "In Love" blush. This is pretty much my natural skintone in the picture above...basically like a neutral white. In Love gives such a nice flush, not too much. I added Dewy just above my non-existent cheekbones to add a bit of shine!
Here's a totally odd blurry pic that shows Sun n' Clouds true color. A gentle grey that flashes gold (and do I detect a tiny hint of green?).

What are your plans for the weekend?? Anything fun? Have you tried the Spring Stardust collection?

I'm baaa-aaack!!!

Didja miss me? No? Well, screw you then ;o)

I've been up to a bunch of different things, work at the bookstore is going great, but I'm averaging 5-6 days a week and its certainly taking its toll! School is fine, just boring and almost over for the semester (yay! 2 weeks off haha!). I've also been reading like crazy...I think its working at the bookstore, it just makes me want to read everything I can get my paws on! Add me if you are on Goodreads (or sign up if you love reading!).

I also learned to crochet for the sole purpose of amigurumi. I luff it! So far I've made a few bits and pieces, check them out here if you're interested! The Michaelangelo ninja turtle was for my hubby's 28th birthday!

Makeup-wise, I've got a ton of fun stuff from my almost sister-in-law! Benefit, Cargo, Aromaleigh...so many goodies to review! I've been pretty lazy lately...wearing a lot of neutrals, heavy black liner and lots of spring-y pinks.

I've also been nail polish crazy! I wish I was better at taking nail pictures...I've done some pretty sweet Konads :) I'm loving the new Essence line at Ulta so much! Gotta love $1 nail polish!

Well I just wanted to post a hello to you all! Let me know how you're doing...I'm so behind on blog reading! (I seriously need to delete some...I have almost 600 posts to read a day!)

And because every post needs a picture, here's Jigglypuff! I made him with this awesomesauce pattern!
