Good morning, duckies!  What a lovely Friday Eve we are having don't you agree?  I did another Face Of The Day (FOTD) that I wanted to share with you all.  This time I had some fun with peacock colors for a punched up work look.  This look would also work well with glasses.  I think it turned out very nice don't you? What I used: the Balm's Balm Voyage palette, colors A2 (shimmery pink purple) and B2 (bright sky blue) Urban Decay's 24/7 eye liners in Asphyxia, Deep End, and Mars Make Up For Ever's Smoky Extravagant mascara NARS Deep Throat blush Urban Decay 24/7 lip pencil in Ozone Be a Bombshell Cosmetics lip gloss in Hot Mess and of course my foundation and primers: Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance, Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Primer, Pixi Beauty Redness Reducing Primer, Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, and Urban Decay Naked Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder. How to apply: Apply your primers and foundat...

After seeing the Maleficent movie last night I was inspired to do a work appropriate face of the day (FOTD). What I used: Urban Decay Naked 2  palette eye shadows in Snakebite, Suspect, and Blackout Julep Eyes All A Glow gel liner in Black Shimmer L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara MAC Venomous Villains Maleficent blush in Briar Rose Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss lipstick in 10 MAC Venomous Villains Maleficent lipglass in Revenge Is Sweet How to apply: Start by applying your moisturizer, primer, and foundation.  Sweep Suspect across your entire eye lid.  Pat Snakebite on the outer 2/3 of your eye lid.  Pat Blackout on the order corner of your eyelid.  With an angled liner brush press Blackout along the outer 2/3 of your lash line.  Apply a thin line of  Black Shimmer onto the outer 2/3 of your lash line.  Sweep Miss Manga on your lashes with a few extra sweeps to your outer lashes.  Dust the apples of your cheeks with Briar Rose....

Since I've been recovering from pink eyes, yes eyes plural, I've been hiding my lack of eye makeup behind bold lip colors. Today I lined and filled my lips in with Urban Decay's Gash liner and topped it with Butter London's Come To Bed Red lippie. Very bold for casual Friday don't you think?

So if you're like me and you work in a window-less cave office were cell phones are not allowed, Twitter is blocked, most email sites are blocked, Facebook and YouTube take days to load, then also like me you completely missed out on the annouced release of Urban Decay's Naked2 Palette.  Only 5000 of these beauties were available for purchase today with the promise of more to come online next week, per Urban Decay's website.  You might want to start updating your Giftmas list and letting loved ones know how badly you need this palette. Available online at UrbanDecay.com

Urban Decay released the Urban Bride on their site and in stores a few weeks ago.  I did not pick it up only because I all ready own the majority of the items featured inside.  Despite this I still wanted to talk about the items inside in case any one was thinking about picking this up as a Bride's gift, Bride's Maids gift, or just a treat for yourself.

I was wearing my Doctor Who Woot Shirt and wanted to do a quick look to match it.  I've been on a bit of a no/one shade only eyeshadow kick of late, preferring to let my eyeliner and mascara do the work.  Here is what I came up with.

The Midnight Cowboy palette couldn't be passed up.  That much glitter and you think I'll say no?  Of course not! 

Did a Gold and Black smokey eye for todays game. GO STEELERS!!!!!

I'm not greedy.  Well maybe a little but who isn't at times.  You know you have a list somewhere, mental or written down of all the lovely and awesome things you'd get for yourself if you had endless supplies of cash to spend.  I didn't write that list here, I just picked a few items I really want off of it.  Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencils - I know they aren't out yet but if they were the first thing on my list would be Urban Decay's new 24/7 Shadow Pencils.  Swatched and reviewed Here (Part 1) and Here (Part 2)  by Temptalia.  I want them cause they are the same amazing quality as Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners and they are super easy to apply.  Perfect for those of us that want some color in the morning without having to spend a lot of time doing their make-up.  Or for those of us that are running perhaps perpetually late and need to trim down their make-up routine some. *looks innocent and whistles* Benefit All You Need Is Gloss - Re...

I admit this idea was a bit of an experiment.  I tried a brand of cosmetics I've never used before and was unhappy with how it mucked up my look.  Despite the apparent eye creasing that is going on I think you still get the idea.
