I'm obsessed with pastels. I just can't get enough of them. I was eager to wear my new mint scarf. Pastels are on trend for this spring. I decided to let the eyes be the star of the show and let everything else be subdued.

Sorry for the blurry pics.
The easiest way to stay on trend without breaking the bank is by adding accessories to clothes you already own.
Do you have anything that's mint colored?

Face Of The Day (FOTD)
My bangs are a result of a twist out. I wore my hair in a french twist on this day.
I was inspired by a beautiful scarf I bought from JcPenney's for $4 to create this look
I love paisley!
This scarf is light weight.
It is HUGE! I can wrap my entire body in it.
It could be used as a wrap, or a sarong, a headwrap or a neck scarf.

Revlon Lipstick Swatches
Recently I took advantage of 30% discount at drugstore.com to round out my Revlon Lipstick Collection.
I think I am finished! I love their matte formula as it is very pigmented and does not leave my lips dry like some other brands. Revlon lipsticks are definitely my favorite drugstore brand of lipstick! I love their sleek packaging. I love that they are readily available and affordable.
Check out the swatches!
Do you own any Revlon Lipsticks?
What is your favorite color/formulation?

Feeling Copper - Face Of The Day (FOTD)

I'm making a more concious effort to not present the mean mug/blank stare. I'm not a model. Beauty bloggers know you have to take a bijillion pics to get the perfect one. Over time you get to know your best angles. Light is critical.
Off Topic
I will probably be upgrading to an android phone next year, albeit reluctantly. As soon as I get to know one phone, I upgrade when hubby does. One advantage of that would be the ability to do Instagram.

Face Of The Day (FOTD) featuring MAC Love Goddess

Warm morning sunlight enhances this look. I snapped this pic during my morning commute. I had to open at work, following a night of closing.
I feel like a gerbil on an exercize wheel.
My eyes just don't want to open in the mornings.
Please excuse the exclusive use of Blackberry Pics. I'm working harder to document my face of the day for more frequent posts.
The photo quality is not the same as my point & shoot cameras.

Which are your favorites?
Thursday, May 31, 2012
May Favorites
HAIR
I have been sporting Short Human Hair Wigs.
They are no fuss, tangle free and give me the edgy looks that I prefer.
I gravitated more towards my Beshe HH Vega shorty do. Love it!
SKIN CARE
For my face, I have been using my Microfiber Washcloths daily. The Neutrogena Naturals line was my most used product for this Month. With the increase in temperatures, I am finding I do not need to moisturize overnight daily. Every other night works best for me. For my body, I have been using and loving the St. Ives Deep Restoring 24 Hr. Moisturizing Lotion. I am disappointed because when I read the ingredient list, I found parabens. My Holy Grail Moisturizer is Korres Body Butter! It's very pricey though. I am still on the hunt for a drugstore alternative.
FACE
I have been working to perfect the application of the MAC MatchMaster. I don't like to be defeated by anything. I also hate wasting money. My investment just has to pay off. I have been experimenting with different application methods...fingers, damp brush, damp sponge, less product. I think I finally settled on mixing the 7.0 with the 7.5 for the best results. It does last all day, but I am concerned that the effect looks like foundation. That typically is not the result I'm looking for. Although I reached for this foundation most often, my favorite remains the NARS Sheer Glow in MACAO.
EYES
I have been wearing very little eyeshadow if any for this month.
It seems quicker to get out of the house in a hurry with just Wet N Wild H20 Liquid Liner
and Urban Decay 24/7 Zero.
If I wanted a pop of color, I opted for a L'Oreal HIP Crayon set with matching eyeshadow.
CHEEKS
I have been loving Orange and Coral Cheeks.
I reached for MAC Ripe Peach, Milani MAI TAI, NARS Exhibit A and Taj Mahal most of all.
LIPS
I have been loving all things Orange, and Coral.
I sported
Revlon Siren, MUFE #40, and MAC So Chaud along with MAC Morange Lip Gloss.
ACCESSORIES
My go to earrings this month have been from a seller on etsy named Angel.
Her store is called LoveliiYou
I purchased three pairs of her fabric stud earrings. I find them to be simple and classy. They have been the perfect accent to complete my outfits. I plan on making more purchases. Look for a full review as well as a collection post in June.
Did you have some of the same favorites in May as I did?
Please share your faves in the comment section.

I purchased three pairs of her fabric stud earrings. I find them to be simple and classy. They have been the perfect accent to complete my outfits. I plan on making more purchases. Look for a full review as well as a collection post in June.
Did you have some of the same favorites in May as I did?
Please share your faves in the comment section.

Collective Nail Polish Haul (With Swatches)
I've acquired several polishes over the past few weeks.
I work hard to catch them on sale.
Milani (Buy $10 worth, get $4 Bonus Bucks)
Techno Red (It looks more pink than red in real life. Gorgeous! Can't wait to put it on my toes Visible Nail Line still present after 3 coats)
Revlon (Rite Aid Buy 1 Get 1 50% off with $4 Up Rewards)
Gray Suede 705 (A interesting color, I thought to be sickly gray with the 1st coat, it improved with each additional coat. I ended up doing 3 to get it to look the way I wanted)
Opulent Pink 904 Warm Baby Pink with subtle Gold Shimmer (Backup ...one of my faves)
Posh Pink 912 (Slightly Frosty Bubble Gum Pink Visible Nail Line still present after 3 coats)
No Shrinking Violet 790 (Slightly Frosty Dark Bluish Purple - Wow, opaque after just 1 coat)
Sinful Colors (Walgreens $.99 each)
Soulmate
Rise & Shine
Nirvana
Which of these shades do you think would best compliment your skintone?
