FOTD 6-24-2013

Don't you love tees that make statements? I recently found this one at TJ Maxx for $12.99 and found the all-caps "NERD" emblazoned in black glitter just ironic enough but not too ironic. You can't tell from this photo, but the fit is oversized and the sleeves are ultra-low cut-out. It kind of, sort of inspired me to conspire a look around it that was as glam as possible--when you're wearing a cut-out tee, that is.

I've been playing around a bit with my eyeshadow lately, trying to mix it up lately. To be honest, eyes are my beauty weak spot, and I tend to play them down and keep them neutral. Today, I went all out.

Sort of.

I've never worn a smokey eye! The combination of the shirt and the fact that I recently bought MAC Creme D'Nude finally got me there. I won't be listing all the rest of the products I used for this look, as the eyes alone took four different palettes.

Here's a shot of my bathroom counter about halfway through the process.

 

February favorites!

Now that February 2013 has officially left us, I figured it would be a great time for a February favorites video!
