Turn a vintage brooch into a pendant.

This one was given to me by my Grandmother and it is P. Buckley Moss.  

Face of the day/turquoise and gold.

This look=super easy.  The great part is that you can alter colors: instead of turquoise you can go with blue, or purple (or any color you want for that matter).

Products used:

Eyebrows:

Rimmel London professional eyebrow pencil in Hazel

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original

MAC pigment in Gold Mode

Benefit Lust Duster shimmering loose powder in Big Daddy and Snow Bunny

MAC eye kohl in Float On By

Smashbox Lash DNA Mascara in Jet Black

Cheeks: 

MAC beauty powder blush in On A Mission

Lips:

MAC lipglaze in Beachbound

MAC lipglass in Flurry

This look is very spring time but I have been feeling like sun lately!  

First step:

Apply foundation/concealer as needed, fill in eyebrows, and prime the eyelids!

Step 2:

Apply your gold shadow all over the eyelid.  I used my MAC pigment in gold mode, but you use what you have!

Step 3:

Using a more rusty bronze color (I used Benefit Lust Duster in Big Daddy) with a fluffy brush apply to crease staying mostly on the outer corner.  You just want to add a little bit of depth here to the eye.  

Step 4, 5, & 6:

Apply the blue/turquoise/purple eye kohl to your water line, and lower lash line, making sure you stay close to the water line and gently smudge to blend.  Take a white/off white (I used Benefit Lust Duster in Snow Bunny) and apply to your tear duct area and blend into the gold.  You want to highlight the area-it will make you look more alert!  Curl your lashes and add mascara-several layers on top and one light coat on bottom is optional.

Steps 7 & 8:

Apply a wine colored blush to cheeks OR a nice bronzer-whichever you prefer and add some lip color in a bronze or nude shimmer along with a coat of lipgloss and you're done!  

So easy, and it will look like it took you much longer!

Thrifty Twosday (LBD edition)

I wanted to showcase the "little black dress"/LBD in this edition of Thrifty Twosdays.

"Thrifting" or thrift store shopping, can change the entire concept of the LBD.  It can take you out of the normal confines of a standard look, and open your mind to an LBD with a little more personality.

A faux wrap around dress from the 80's paired with some sexy stilettos will have you turning heads while you reminisce.  Perfect for any night on the town!

Faux wrap around dress: vintage, thrifted ~$5.00

For a little more sophistication: tone it down with sling back pumps and a classic retro look that pairs pleats and ruffles.  

Belted dress with pleats: vintage: thrifted ~$3.00 50% off thrift store price! 

If "thrifting" just isn't for you, there are still good deals to be had on unconventional LBDs all over the place.  For instance this ruffled number paired with a pair of peep-toe pumps is perfect for a party or even a hot date:

Black and gold ruffled dress: $12.00 marked down from $120.00 Connected Apparel (Elder Beerman's) That's 90% off!

Do you have a favorite LBD?  Show us!  And show off!
