Hair Adventures and FOTD

So, I have been a redhead off and on for almost 2 years now. I decided yesterday that it was time for a change and I was going to go dark again. Most people would associate that as going dark brown or black, but of course I have to put my own twist on that so I tried to remember my last venture with brown and burgundy and what I mixed.

I think I came pretty close!

Last Night's Venture (Face of the Night!)

So lately I haven't been much into putting on makeup. Yes, I seemed to have let myself go since I came back from Vegas--my makeup muse must have been kidnapped!

Yesterday my friend Tina was having a get together which we used to have every Wednesday night but lately everyone has been so busy, it was put on the back burner. While texting what time she wanted everyone over I asked if she was up for a makeup challenge. Mind you, her and I used to be major Aromaleigh addicts back in the day and would challenge each other with different color schemes or inspiration and show up at the grooming shop the next day with our eye shadow decked out.

So she said she was up for a challenge so I picked blue, orange, and yellow as our colors. I went with an artsy mod style complete with geometric shapes :)

A Slideshow Trial Run

Alright, so I'm trying to get back into the mode of loving makeup and this week I am doing a slideshow for the whole week of each days' makeup. Therefore, I am forcing myself to get up earlier in the morning to actually DO my makeup so that I don't have an empty day :]

FOTD Extravaganza!

Since I am too lazy to post everything into individual posts, and I don't know the dates of when I did these (nor do I remember some of the colors I used!) I will post this solely for makeup ideas for you gals out there!

I think I'm going to start a Photobucket weekly slideshow of my makeup for the day...maybe it'll get my creative streak back into play!


Lid: Aromaleigh Fawn
Crease: Aromaleigh Solange
Browbone: Aromaleigh Air and Light

EOTN (eye of the night!)

I went to one of many of Zach's indoor soccer games tonight. I asked him to pick a color before I did my makeup and he said hot pink to match his leagues shirt color. Come to find out they changed their teams' color to lime green (I'm thinking Aromaleigh Estranged here!!) when we got there, but this was still fun.

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

I know, I'm such a bad girl. Lot's of stuff happened from when I FIRST started this blog.

I was living in Vegas with my boyfriend, and things didn't end to well with my relationship there, so I had to move back to good ol' Bakersfield, CA at the end of May. OR maybe it was April. I forgot. Hah.

Not happy that I moved back, I locked myself in my cave room and refused to be social for a couple of months. Anyway, things are much better now! I'm getting ready to start beauty school (YAY!) and get my future rolling. This will TOTALLY help my beauty blog, as I will have tips and random reviews from school and such. Not to mention I met a beautiful boy named Zack thanks to one of my ex-bandmates and things are very good between us two.



Onto what we've all been waiting for:
TODAY'S FOTD! O.O
The pics aren't very good because I was using my phone for the shots...I'm too lazy to put batteries into my camera =/ but you get the idea:

OVER 9 HOURS OF WEAR AND NO CREASING!!!

(these might look like fake pics since I'm wearing the same night dress >.< but you can tell I'm a bit shiny in these pics since I've taken a shower and my foundation and lippie has washed off!)

Sunday's FOTD!

I was actually able to SLEEP last night.

That is, until the 2nd youngest in the house decided to scream at the foot of the stairs (right next to our bedroom) at two in the f*cking morning!

>:[


So I woke up around 7 and couldn't fall back asleep. I figured I'd run by the apartment office we're renting from next month and drop off our proof of income to get things rolling a day earlier. So you know what that means....

MAKEUP TIME!

Today's Look: Au-Naturale

I've basically been up since about 2 this morning. A bunch of drama in Andrew's family's household -.-

I was going to get up at 6:30 and to my makeup, but I wanted to sleep a little longer since I slept in pieces and every little sound woke me up all last night/this morning. So I had my alarm set for 7.

Didn't get out of bed 'til 7:05

Needed to leave by 7:15.


Didn't get into the car until 7:30.


xD bahahaha!

So this is me with practically NO MAKEUP ON!

Neutral Look

This was my FOTD from yesterday. I had to run a couple of errands and wanted at least a little bit of makeup on today.

Those that know me know I'm not too fond of neutrals. I like bright and obnoxious.

Anyway, here ya go!

Rainbow Eyes!

This was a TEN MINUTE LOOK I did two days ago. I woke up with a wild hare up my ass, and decided to do something complicated right before work. I was actually a few mins late to work because of this! xD
