FOTD: Hypnotizing Violets

Greetings from the Dark Side :)
How are you all? I hope you all had a great weekend! I personally enjoyed this long three day Labor Day weekend~
A huge shout out to one of my best friends, Jackie! Happy 21st Birthday ♥ I love you!

If you were not aware, purple is my absolutely favorite color! Followed by black and red :) My room is purple, most of my clothes are purple, part of my hair is purple, and anything purple catches my attention. So of course I am completely obsessed with purple makeup. This includes eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip glosses, blushes, eyeliners, you name it. And now that my hair is brighter, I think purple looks even better. I am sure many of you would disagree, and you probably think I look like a complete psychopath, but that's okay too xD So I want to share this purple eye makeup I've been doing a lot lately. I love how it looks and it is actually not too difficult to do. I can do a tutorial if any of you would like me to, but for the mean time I will just post these FOTD pictures

FOTD: Pigtails and Purple Lips

So now that I feel back to normal, and all the racism forgotten, I wanted to post a quick FOTD. This is what I was wearing today.
I think it is pretty simple: Purple on the eyes, purple on the lips, and the most simplest hair style I can wear.

FOTD: Little Black Dress with an Asian Flower

Yup, my tittle is *so* original...hur hur hur.

A couple of you guys wanted to see a FOTD using both Stila's 'Little Black Dress' smudge pot and MAC 'Asian Flower' Sheen Supreme lipstick. Little did you know that you already saw it! I had a picture in the Asian Flower review and I was wearing both Asian Flower and Little Black Dress. But let's recap it, and I will show you more photos :D Don't mind my cam whoring xD

September Favorites 2011

Another month has passed by so quickly! And here is another post of my favorites for this month. Hope you enjoy :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Reviva Labs Makeup Primer
This was sent to me in the beginning of August, and I have been using it since them. It is the best primer i have ever used and I am very impressed with it. I will most likely be purchasing it with my own money once it runs out. My bottle is about half ways, so it should last me until the end of this year or so.
2.LORAC Oil Free Luminizer in 'Pearl'
I used this lumizer consistently this month. I admit I had forgotten about it in the past months, but I rediscovered and I can't believe I shad not used it. Although, I also must admit that I have a new highlighting powder which I absolutely love, so this might be slightly forgotten once again.

Primer / Luminizer (I applied waaaay too much product on my hand)

3.Prestige My Blackest Lashes mascara
If you have seen any of my EOTDs, you might realize that I have been using this mascara very often. For the price, this is a really great mascara! I am pretty much done with the tube above, and I will be repurchasing it. Check out my review HERE for more details.

4.Stila Smudge Pot in 'Little Black Dress'
This smudge pot was from the Barbie Loves Stila collection. I got this when the collection came out, but I lost it before I ever used it. I had painted my room and removed everything from my room, and this ended up a box which I forgot about and it was left in my garage. I recently found the box and I was angry that this beauty had evaded me for such a long time. This is the closest dupe of MAC Young Punk eyeshadow, but in a cream shadow form. It is a black base with gorgeous purple shimmers. What I love about this, beside the color, is that it is extremely long lasting and waterproof. I wore this to the recent Blink 182 concert, and it stayed put all night (can't say the same thing about my foundation though!). I believe this was LE, but I checked online and saw many places you could purchase it from (eBay, Amazo, ect...) for a relatively decent price.

5.MAC Sheen Supreme in 'Asian Flower'
I absolutely love this shade and I have been wearing it so much since I purchased it. The color is phenomenal, it is moisturizing, and the staying power is quite good for a super moisturizing lipstick (3-5hrs). I adore wearing this lipstick in conjunction with either MAC Young Punk eyeshadow on my eyes, or the Stila Little Black Dress Smudge Pot (as shown above).
