Green Eye Look using MAC's Club and Steamy

Hey glam gals!!

So I'm doing another MAC look today, I went out tonight so I'll show you my outfit  and my eyes. I won't be wearing shoes because on my way home it was pouring rain and there was lightning and the whole deal, and my shoes got soaked. So no shoes. So to go with the green shirt, and yes I don't wear much else other than black, leopard and sometimes green; I'm doing green eyes. And I cannot tell you how much I love my MAC 217 brush. God that brush is great for anything. I wish I had more, I'd probably only use those.




So about the makeup, I was thinking to myself how MAC Steamy and MAC Club eyeshadows would look together. I stared at my palette trying to figure out what color would go with Club. A couple of days ago I was watching some random makeup videos on Youtube, not necessarily about a look using Club eyeshadow, just anything makeup related and I stumbled on a video by Pixiwoo using both Steamy and Club shadows, the exact two shadows I wanted to try out. They didn't use a base and it looked fantastic. For my look, however, I used a Paint Pot in Blackground (black) for this look. If you've used Club before, then you know how much a base color can make a difference. I'll post a picture below showing what it looks like with a base and without a base. My look turned out equally fabulous, but the Pixiwoo way is also on my to-do list. I used Phloof! to highlight the brow bone and to line the bottom lashes, I applied Paint Pot first and then Steamy and a bit of Club on the outer corner. I didn't use a liner because I felt that the eyes looked amazing like that. I only used MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved to line the waterlines. Add a bit of MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara and the eyes we're good to go.




For the face I used Benefit's High Beam to highlight, Too Faced's Pink Leopard to contour, and for a blush I used MAC's Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. I used the same foundation and concealers and primers that I normally use. On the lips, I am wearing a MAC Lipstick in Girl Next Door and a MAC Lipglass in Stay Sweet. They are both from the Archie's Girls Collection and aren't available anymore, but I'm sure it's possible to find a good dupe. I really liked how this shade went with the look. If you don't have that products, I'd recommend Too Faced La Creme in Marshmallow Bunny or even NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet.

Outfit of the Day

So I don't usually do outfits of the day because I don't really wear anything special lol. But today I am so here's the outfit. Let me know what you think!




The shirt and skirt are from Dynamite. The earrings are Betsey Johnson. I got the cat necklace as a gift.

Here's a picture of my hair, I did a bun using the "donut" thing and a few bobby pins.

















So thanks everyone for reading my post. Let me know what you thought of both the makeup look and the outfit. I thought the makeup look was great, Steamy and Club go so well together! Steamy is also my favorite MAC shade right now, I think that shade of green is just so so beautiful. Let me know what you think of these shades and the eye look. Also, did you like the blush and bronzer? I think the two go really well together and I'm really liking MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. It's a new product for me and I'm starting to wear it more and more. The lipstick and lipgloss go perfect with the look, in my opinion anyway. It's a very nice light pink that doesn't compete with the boldness of the eyes. So this was my night out look, hope you enjoyed it!









I'm trying to catch up on all the stuff I said I would do, but forgive me if I don't post a lot this week, I'm getting my windows done starting tomorrow.

Here's a link to another look I did using Club eyeshadow, MAC Club Eyeshadow Look and How To Wear It

Black Smokey Eyes using MAC - Rebel Rocker Chic

Hello glam dolls!!

As promised, here's the Rocker Chic look I promised in my Nails post. The Nail Set I used was from Nails Inc and it is the Bling It On: Rebel set. The black nail polish gives a Leather Effect on the nails and it comes with studs, crystals and skulls so you can bedazzle your nails. Now that your nails are bedazzled and looking good, it's time to make your face look Rocker Chic too!!



I used mostly MAC products for this look. I've been in a MAC mood lately lol where I just keep doing MAC looks. For the eyes I used the Blackground Paint Pot as a base on the lid and I used Black Tied eyeshadow on top. I put Forgery in the crease and I used Electra eyeshadow to bring the two colors together so it doesn't look like stark line between the two. I used the Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Black Swan to line the upper and lower lashline and I used a Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved to do the upper and lower waterlines. I used MAC Zoomlash in Zoomblack as the mascara. Now that the eyes are looking pretty badass, for the face I used Benefit High Beam to highlight as usual, MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet So Easy and to contour I used Too Faced Pink Leopard. On the lips, I used a lipstick and lipgloss from the Archie's Girls collection. The lipstick is Girl Next Door and the lipglass is Stay Sweet. Since these are limited edition and not for sale anymore, you could also use MAC Lipstick and/or Lipglass in St-Germain, Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Marshmallow Bunny, NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet. These are just some ideas of lipsticks and lipglosses you can use to complement the eyes. I would stick with a light to medium pink color or a nude color. You want to make the dark eyes the focus of the look. If you're daring enough, you can go with a bright pink lipstick to make both the eyes and lips stand out, which is common in a Rocker Chic look.



I finally used the last bit of Too Faced Pink Leopard that I had and I'm so sad. The new, re-vamped Pink Leopard is different than the old one. Not only was it new packaging, the bronzer colors are way different and they swatch different. I bought the new one months ago but haven't used it yet because I love the old one so much and I didn't want to disappoint myself in case I didn't like it. But now I have no choice. I'll be testing out the new one and I'll do a review and comparison with the old one. My mom has the old bronzer so at least I can steal hers if I don't like the new one. So to be clear, I've been using the OLD Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer up until today and including today. From now on, I'll be using the NEW Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer.

Thanks for reading and if you haven't already, read the post on Rocker Chic Nails: Nails Inc Bling It On Rebel.



What did you think of the look? Do you think it is Rocker Chic enough for the nails? What do you think of the dark eyes? What do you think of the lips and what lipstick or lipgloss would you wear instead for this type of look? Have you used the new Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer? If so, how does it compare to the old one?

Thank you for reading and take care n be safe,
