We're All Mad Here

Today felt like an "Alice in Wonderland" sort of day. This was a re-creation of a look by xBeingNEONx (sadly though I can't find the video where she showed her look :( I think she might have taken it down? I believe she said she was inspired by the older version and the new version of the Cheshire cat and sort of meshed their colours together. I love ittttttt♥).

Not Your Average Waitress

For c-mas, I got the tarte for True Blood palette and I absolutely love it (especially the mascara...oh my goodness, I can't even deal with how amazing it is! I have to get a new, full-size tube soon). So far, the only thing I'm not too crazy about is the eyeliner. It's like a gel liner in a tube, and it's super soft and breaks easily, so I have to use a brush. But it's a super creamy, dark black, so I can live with it :)

The palette comes with a little booklet that has 4 different looks and how to do them (it also says that they are "exclusive looks created by True Bloods award-winning lead makeup artist Brigitte Ellis)

None of the looks are really complex or complicated, but that's something I really love about them. They're simple and easy to do, yet are still very pretty and flattering.

The looks (in order of the picture above) are called "Not Your Average Waitress", "Luminous Fairy", "Vampy Vixen", and "Vamp Glam".


Today I did the look called "Not Your Average Waitress" for work. I love it and its been what I've been wearing to work almost every day now.
