Funky Friday: Iron Man

So between the Avengers movie not coming out for another few months and finding myself in need of a theme for my Funky Friday Series i felt i was left with no other option. For the next few weeks i will be doing Avenger inspired make up  looks and tutorials starting with, for no particular reason, Iron Man. This genius playboy billionaire is often seen sporting a red and yellow suit of technologically advanced armor. From that armor i drew my inspiration. For right now all i have are pictures but i'm trying to upload a tutorial to youtube as i type. I'll be posting that as soon as i can.  Got the tutorial up and running. Enjoy :)

Wore It Wednesday: Naked

Well look at me keeping to a schedule like i said i would. So i have some rather exciting news, well i find it exciting. I've put my first real make up tutorial on youtube. As exciting as that is i do have some bad news about that. I didn't realize till after i had uploaded the video how horrible the quality was or that there was a glitch at the end. I'm working on fixing the glitch and reformatting the video so that the quality is better but in the mean time this version will have to do. It still does the trick i think i'm just a bit of a perfectionist. Well, enjoy. Scratch that, i redid the video in a higher quality than before. Enjoy.

Manicure Monday: Pretty in Pink

In addition to slacking on my blog i was also neglecting my nails this past month. Apart from some Incoco Nail Polish Strips i wore for the holidays my nails were looking pretty shabby. When i was finally ready to get my butt in gear i found myself looking for something to get me out of my bare nail funk without being to complex. Between work and the bug that has been going around i have been way to tired for any complex nail art. This manicure hit the spot. It is super girly and the glitter really takes the look up a notch with out any added effort.

Shout Out Sunday: DIY Nail Polish Rack

While my nail polish collection is still manageable i've been looking for a cheap way to display it. Up until now i have been keeping them in a bag. Didnt take much space and it was out of the way but having to dig through it to find the right polish was so annoying. When browsing the forums on Beaultylish i found this tutorial by nguerriero19 for a really cute do it yourself nail polish wall rack. This shelf is so easy to make and it is super cheap.

New Year for Mint Chocobo

So my resolution this year was to become a more dedicated blogger. Sure over the past few months i have put a lot of time and effort into my blog but i feel like i could be doing more. Well, maybe not necessarily more but rather better. Before i posted randomly. Seemingly random content on random days. I have finally created a schedule and my goal is to stick to it.

Christmas Haul

Better late than never right? Sorry about disappearing off the face of the planet. Between work and the holidays i have had little time for blogging. Well there is one other thing that had been taking up a lot of my time to but that is a surprise. Here is just a haul post of all my Christmas goodies. I'll post a short review of each here but i'll be posting proper reviews and swatches later. Also i'll warn you now this post is going to be rather long. I didn't realize till after i was nearly finished just how many beauty related products i got this year.

EPIC Swatchapalooza: 66 Color Lip Palette Part 4

Row Three

Better late than never i suppose. I liked the feeling of this row better than the last. The previous two rows felt extremely glossy while this row feels closer to how a standard lipstick feels.
