Happy 2010!!!

Many of you have been wondering what I used for New Year's, and here it is!!!  I was originally going to do a silver and black combo, but in browsing through YouTube and the such for inspiration, I felt that look was being worn out.  So, I decided to modify my original idea by using a shimmery pink instead of silver.  Let me know what you think!  :)

On my eyes:

1.  A Hi-Fi Cosmetics not-yet-released pink/green color shifting shade on the inner corners and very lightly as highlight.

2.  "Miracle Mile" from the 2010 Collection all over the lid from lashline to crease.

3.  "Dirty Word Witchcraft" from the 2010 Collection on outer corner and in crease.

4.  Paparazzi Flash Powder in "Sexy Cupid" on top of "Miracle Mile" eyeshadow.

5.  A not-yet-released black-based Paparazzi Flash Powder on top of "Dirty Word Witchcraft".  Blended with "Sexy Cupid" by lightly patting with finger.

6.  Paparazzi Flash Powder in "Forget My Name" mixed with mixing medium and applied to lower lashline.

7.  Hard Candy Walk the Line liquid liner in "Asphalt" on upper lashline.

8.  Ardell demi wispies lashes.

Aron and I right after we arrived...  Too bad you can't really see my eye makeup well in this pic...but I was also wearing NYX blush in "Terracotta" along with Stila Illuminating Finishing Powder in "Rose Gold".  On my lips was Soap & Glory's Sexy Motherpucker lipgloss in...well, it was the plum shade (can't remember the exact name...it was a long night).  LOL.  I layered one of the super shimmery Tarte holiday glosses on top.  (Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that they don't have names?  The last Tarte lipgloss set I bought didn't have names on any of them, either.)

A great number of alcoholic beverages later.......  I look like a total goofball.  LOL.

Here's me in my ORIGINAL application of makeup (with the exception of lipgloss) back at home 6 HOURS LATER!!!  I was actually surprised at how well it all stayed on...especially after the amount of alcohol I drank and the numerous drunken NYE makeout sessions between the hubby and I...  LOL!!!  TMI, I know.  :)  But yeah...this stuff has SUPER staying power when applied over LASplash Splashproof Sealer!!!  I swear by that stuff when I use glitter...it's a really sticky waterproof base that will hold eyeshadow, sparklies, the works!!!    I got it at Ulta, but I honestly can't remember how much I paid for it.

Both eyes...blurred to see the effect of the holo glitter.  By the way, this pic was also taken AFTER the party, around 1:00 AM.

Anyway...let me know what you think!!!  :)  Did any of you use Hi-Fi Cosmetics for your NYE look?  If you did a holiday look (even if it wasn't with Hi-Fi) and have photos of it, post the link in the comments section so we all can see what you did!

Ring in the New Year with new makeup!!!

Okay, now that everyone is ever-so-slightly starting to financially recoup from the Christmas wallet-draining monster, I figured it would be a great time to have another BOGO!!!

The BOGO will officially start January 1st, 2010.  I won't be editing any of the listings since there is no price change, so don't be alarmed when you see that my shop hasn't changed.  I'll be putting these same details for the BOGO in the shop announcement on the main page.  :)

The BOGO is for the Hi Fi Shadows again...but this time, the Paparazzi Flash Powders and Glam Rock Eye Glitzes are included!!  AND you can mix and match!

Want that totally awesome eyeshadow and the Eye Glitz to go with it?  DO IT.  Buy the eyeshadow, and get the glitz free!  Same goes with Paparazzi Flash Powders.

I had some issues with the checkout process last time, so to make sure we're clear...

Only put the items you are PAYING FOR in the cart.  You will simply notate which free items you want in the message field at checkout.  Easy.  PLEASE don't make me have to send a ton of revised invoices out.  I am a one-woman business, and any time I spend correcting invoices is time taken away from packaging and shipping.

Also, I got a lot more orders than expected with my Black Friday Sale, and had a death in the family and a husband to send off on military duty to boot, so this time, I am going to go ahead and expand my shipping window a bit.  Give me 7-8 business days to get it in the mail.  I know it sucks, and I will probably ship before then, but I don't want to give you empty promises.  And, as I've stated before, I AM only one person...mixing, printing, packaging, packing, shipping, blogging, managing the shop, etc.

Anyway...I hope you all use this awesome opportunity to purchase those items you've been eyeballing since Christmas!  LOL.  Love you all!
