Happy Monday..!

This is how I feel at the beginning of the week, captured to a tee by my favorite Disney princess:

A seventh of our lives are spent on a Monday.

What a pity it would be to waste an entire seventh of our lives - So why not make the most of  our Mondays?!

Happy Monday, everyone!

The tail end of the Halloween posts for the tail end of the Halloween weekend...

Whilst cat-sitting this weekend for a friend, I realized that Dash had stolen the same costume as me… Here is a feline face and behind… and now to put this incident behind us.

Detailing, Detailing, Detailing...

Dappled with creativity

The little embellishments and extra effort put into design can truly make the final outcome of your project a million times better.  For example, the little additions that I put into my Halloween costume did wonders for the overall effect of the piece.  I used a jet black liquid liner to do the cat eye and the outline of the spots, and the Naked palette by Urban Decay to fill in the spots and for the base coat on my lids. I used Half Baked, Smog, and Darkhorse.

Printed with design

The tiny little paw prints were actually the design I used to use in high school to represent my mascot, the Panthers!  I remembered how to draw them, figured this fitting for my outfit, and so designed them in a liquid format as body art.  The paw prints were likewise done with jet black liquid eyeliner.

A little goes a long way! And a little addition in the beginning can add a lot for the final outcome.

The Purrfect Halloween

 Thought of the day: Perhaps Americans have become slightly lazy.  For example, when kids say “Trick or treat!” we just fork over the goods.  Why not say instead, “I’ll show you a trick: I’ll make myself disappear!” and shut the door? Because we spent our Halloween money on “BOOritos” from Chipotle ($3 if you dress up!) instead of expendable candy for them, and after all, they TECHNICALLY asked for it…!  Don’t get me wrong, I do love kids, but you must agree that I have a point here…!  Of course I am just being silly, but I do hope that you had just as good of an eve as I did.

Here is how I did my makeup for the evening:

I used the Naked palette by Urban Decay in Half Baked, Smog, and Darkhorse, with black liquid eyeliner outlining the leopard spots.

Happy Friday!
