FOTD Fail & Nail Polish I've Been Hearting

 We beauty bloggers are masters of the at home photo shoot.  On the occasions our husbands, boyfriends, or tri-pods are not accessible, we snap our own pictures.  Sure, we sometimes need to crop out what appears to be a Stretch Armstrong arm every once in awhile, but that comes with the self portrait territory.  Ha!

Yesterday, I spent hours painting my face and creating a 'do that would have made my perfectly coiffed pal, Tiffany (Big Hair Bigger Lashes), do the slow clap and rise.  I was especially proud of my locks; they were curled, teased, and a force to be reckoned with.  Yet, somehow my HOTD found a way to ruin my FOTD.

I took NINETY-TWO pictures of my mug and mane, confident that at least a few would be worthy of posting.  Upon uploading the photos, I noticed my hair appeared horrifically frizzy.  Nick Nolte's mugshot looked sexier than what I had going on.  So, instead of a FOTD, you get EOTD (plus one cheek)!  XD

[Click to enlarge.  I had to significantly lighten this picture up because it was too dark.  I also airbrushed everything except my eyes and lashes as my skin looked strange after I messed with the photograph's exposure.  Blech...]

EOTD Products:

♥ NYX Black Eye Shadow
♥ NYX Cherry Eye Shadow
♥ Christian Dior Beige Eye Shadow
♥ GOSH Extreme Art Eye Liner in 07 (Liner courtesy of my wonderful follower, Dominique!)  :)
♥ L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Blackest Black
♥ Ardell Wispies

On my cheeks, I am rocking NARS Crazed.  The stunning Miss Natty recently reviewed this blush.  Check out her post here.  I agree 100% with what she had to say!

On to my latest nail polish obsession: OPI's "Do You Lilac It".  I have been wearing this for quite some time now, and love it!  Two coats are all you need to achieve this pretty shade.  Wearing it definitely puts me in a Spring type of mood!


What are y'all sporting on your nails?

EOTD

  Everyone's favorite petite diva, J-ezzy, oh-so-subtly hinted that I should start posting pictures of the products I review on myself.  Now that my laptop and charger issues are resolved, y'all will be seeing a lot more of my face.  This one's for you, J!

[You know you want to frame this and put it on your mantle.  Bahahaha!]

Ugh...  My eyebrows always disappear in pictures!  I swear they are thicker in real life!  LOL!

Products I used:

♥ NYX Eye Shadow in Black
♥ NYX Eye Shadow in Purple
♥ Christian Dior Eye Shadow in Ready-to-Beige
♥ Almay Liquid Liner in Black
♥ L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black
♥ Ardell Lashes

So, I may be M. I. A. for a bit as my husband and I are moving this weekend...  I hope y'all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
