Polka dot nails!

I came down with a horrible cold yesterday, so I needed a lil' somthin' to cheer me up. Enter these nails- so cheerful that I forgot about the windy, rainy, blustery fall day outside.
I used a white base, then used a thermometer (ghetto fab!) as a dotting tool to create the multicolored polka dots! I used only cream nail polishes but I bet this would look cool with shimmery ones, or just using one color, with a different color base, etc. I know I'll try different variations in the future!

Hope you're inspired!

Autumn warmth

I've been ADORING the fresh new smells in the air, and pretty colors in the leaves as we creep into Autumn here in the Pacific NW. No better place to be, even if it is a tad wet.
I was feeling inspired by the the change of season the other day and decided to do a really nice, rich, deep eye look and just feel kinda cozy about it. If that makes any sense.




This is honestly my favorite type of color scheme to use. Anything reddish around the eye area gets my vote; I disagree with people who say it makes their eyes look bloodshot or tired. At least, I don't think it does that to me :)

Because I am ABOVE THE LAW! I do what I want!!

No clue about any of this...

I do, however, know that it looks good.

I don't seem to have taken other pictures of this, or a products picture... so here's a random picture of some nice makeup from semi-recently.



I just received my new Sedu hair straightener in the mail this past week, so I may have just been trying it out. This is some mighty straight hair, after all.

Anyway!
Yes!

Naked palette a-go-go!

When I first bought the Urban Decay Naked palette, I used it every day. Then I got really into Wet n' Wild's "Comfort Zone" palette and forgot all about it. Naked really is gorgeous, though, so I'm trying to bring it back.





You really can't go wrong with any color combo here!! I know the main shade was "Half baked" and probably some "Creep" on the outer half. "Virgin" as the highlight? Tasty.

Getting behind already?

Haha... well, if you know me, it's not at all surprising that I started out with a bang then completely stopped for a week or more. That's just how I roll. I'm going to post my makeup/products from the last time I posted until now, using different posts for each look. Mmkay?

MY FIRST FACE

Hello all-

I wanted to create a place where I can record my day-to-day makeup choices, so I and you (not sure why you'd necessarily care about this, but who knows?) can keep track of what's going on

with my face! What makeup works, what could be better, what I should try next time... plus the products and techniques I'm using at the moment.

Let me know what you think, or if you'd like me to film a step-by-step for anything you particularly like!

<3 Ursula
