FOTD: I'm Feeling Retro

I just got done writing an epically long essay for my biology exam so I'm feeling a little short on words at the moment! I have an exam every week that consists of 50 matching questions, 50 multiple choice, and an essay with a minimum of 1000 words. EVERY WEEK! That's what I get for taking summer classes. Oh well, it will be over soon. The fall semester will feel like a break after this!

Here is a look I wore last week when i actually woke up early enough to do my makeup and hair. This only happens about once a week and only because my dogs are assholes and don't let me sleep! Haha.


Eyes:
  •  Two Faced Shadow Insurance
  • Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
  • Wet n Wild I'm Feeling Retro trio purple on lid
  • Wet n Wild I'm Feeling Retro trio blue in crease and below lower lash line
  • Wet n Wild I'm Feeling Retro trio white to highlight
  • Urban Decay Zero eyeliner on upper lash line
  • Urban Decay Bourbon eyeliner on waterline
  • A mix of CoverGirl Lashblast mascara and Wet n Wild MegaLash Clinical Mascara on lashes
  • Physician's Formula Canyon Classic quad matte eyeshadow in brows (darkest shade)
Face:
  • Physician's Formula CircleRx concealer in Fair Light under eyes
  • Maybelline SuperStay concealer in Ivory also under eyes
  • Ulta Fabulous Face natural finish foundation in Classic Ivory
  • Physician's Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder Foundation in Translucent Light
Cheeks
  • MAC Beauty Powder in Alpha Girl
Lips
  • Pixi Succulent Lip Twin in Coral Camellia (tint only)
  • Kiss My Sass lipgloss in Caribbean Escape

  I didn't have any problems with the shadows fading on me at all and I put them on at 8 AM and didn't wash my face until after really late at night, after midnight. Pixie Epoxy works really well for me.


I really like Alpha Girl Beauty Powder from MAC. Sadly it was limited edition, but the compact is huge and I'll never use it up.



Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!

  1. Girly, you have convinced me to buy this palette! LOL. I once took 3 English classes in one semester. Nearly killed me. I had to write two papers for two different classes one weekend; a 6 pager and a 4 pager. I'd spent three hours writing one, then another 3 working on the other. I don't know what possessed me to take all those English classes, but I can tell you I'm never doing that again!

  2. Wet-N-Wild shadows are so nice. Easily one of my favorite drugstore products!! The colors are so pretty and they blended so well in this look.

  4. I have this set and I love the combination of colors. It looks so great on you! I haven't worn mine in awhile, but you just inspired me to pull it out today :)

  5. Awesome! This was the first WnW palette I bought and I failed with a few looks before walking away from it for a while. I really like how you used blue in the crease!

  6. @Chris- This was the first time I've used the palette so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was expected them to be really sheer, but they looked great over a sticky base. And wow, I can't imagine taking that many classes at once in the summer. I'm going crazy as it is!

    @Mandy- Thank you! I really love them, too. It's nice to see the brand come so far.

    @Kristen- Thank you! I'm bad at choosing which colors to go together, but that's why I like palettes. They're like cheating!

    @Maribeth- Yay! You should post more makeup looks, I like them!

    @RoboZelda- I think this palette is one of the harder to use ones. I didn't take any chances with patchiness or sheerness so I used my tried and true combo of Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Pixie Epoxy.

    @BeautyBehaved- Thank you! :)

  7. I LOL'd so hard at the "my dogs are assholes" comment!! The other night my dog started barking in the middle of the night...i presume in her sleep. She has a totally yappy bark too; it woke me up, lol.

    I never thought to use PE with drugstore shadows like WnW!! I don't own any WnW myself, but I've been eyeing a few, and the color combo you have on is probably one of the favorites I've seen out there!! :D

  10. Ahhhh beautiful colour combo on the eyes! I like how the gloss seems to have a little blue sheen too :)
