FOTD - Tuesday ~ Inglot

Hey Mariposas!!  Playing catch up, I'm a day late but here's what I decided to do something a lil more colorful, maybe inspired by the fallen leaves or a tequila sunrise.  In March I went to the Makeup Show in the city and was introduced to Inglot cosmetics, they are AMAZING!!  The pans are much larger than MAC and comparable in quality and at times surpass their counterparts, and at $5.00 each you are saving $10.50 each shade...NO BRAINER!!  Hope you like the look!! 

P.S. I needed to flat iron my hair a lil bit but I was running late, as per usual, I am not a morning person and if it's makeup or hair, makeup ALWAYS wins!!  I'm in need of a hair cut, at the moment I'm growing out a beloved bob...I miss bob he's my go-to style when I need something shorter.  Thank goodness for my LOVERLY stylist Lisa at Believe because I can still work it the cut she gave me is AMAZING!!





I used the top middle 3 colors lightest on the lid, middle blended in the crease and RED in outter V.  Tutorials to follow :) 



FOTD Monday


Hola Mariposas!!  The look today was trying not to look like we had no heat or hot water over the weekend.  I didn't want it to give away that I couldn't wash my hair and that I had to boil water on the stove like I was in PR.  Every time the Dept of Public Works or whatever they call it there, would work on the electricity the water would be shut off...ah the memories lol!!  


 I used the palette above (first row specifically) to get this look, the right color on the lid used wet, the middle color in the crease and the highlight color on the left.  I purchased this Lorac Multiplex 3D palette on Hautelook for $12 it usually sells for $32, the eyeshadows are highly pigmented, can be used wet or dry and are buttery soft which makes for easy blending.  My favorite color is the one I used for my lid, it's a duo-chrome which looks brown but has a teal cast, I'm crazy about this color!!  You can find it on the cheap in the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette $4.99!!

Thanks Mariposas })i({

I just wanted to thank all you lovely ladies and gentleman for joining by lil blog!!  I've wanted to do this for a while and I finally got my nerve up to do it.  Please feel free to make suggestions, ask questions or request looks or any ideas that you'd like to see here.  I really want this to be interactive because it's no fun without you guys!!  BTW Mariposa pronounced (mar-uh-poh-suh) is Spanish is a butterfly, it's a nickname that my hubby gave me which became a theme in our wedding and it's also a symbolic of change or transformation which is why I LOVE makeup!!  I <3 my Mariposas })i({
