Mandarin Fish Inspired

One of the suggestions I received from my followers (Sumitha) was to do a look inspired by a Mandarin Fish.  I had never heard of a mandarin fish before and when I saw it, I was excited because these are some really cool fish.  I didn't really know where to go with the look, though so I went a little crazy.  I did a look inspired by the fish and then a more literal translation of it.

So here is the fish

Really cool, huh?  The face actually reminds me a lot of a tortoise. And here is my more wearable look

And here's the more literal version

I'm not super thrilled with the way it came out because my green spots kinda look like worms and it just didn't work out the way I had it in my head.  And I was so annoyed that I don't have a great royal blue color like the one on the tips of the fish's fins.  So I attempted to use a NYX ultra pearl mania (Space) but as you can see, it didn't pan out so well.  Just so you know, I will be posting my successes as well as my failures on here haha so don't think that all of my stuff is going to be good because it's totally not (as you can see) haha.

I really think this is an inspiration better suited for UrbanelyDecayed, she could do something so amazing with this fish as her inspiration.  So, if you're reading this, please do something and make this fish proud haha!

Thank you, Sumitha, for the suggestion and I'm sorry I didn't do as well on it as I know I can.  Maybe I'll try it again another day!

And I put off doing my makeup today for as long as I could because we're leaving tonight to go to New York.  We'll probably leave here around 11 or 12 and get there tomorrow around noon so this makeup has to last me!  I really dislike sitting in the car for that long.  I went to Walgreens and there was an older cashier there and she made a big deal out of my makeup.  She told me how beautiful my eyes looked and asked who taught me how to do it.  It was kinda nice for an older lady to appreciate my makeup because that doesn't usually happen (it's usually younger women).  Because guess what guys... my makeup is sooo neutral again!  

I used Inglot: 363, 361, 395, and Urban Decay Twice Baked for this look.

Haha sorry it totally reads in my face that I'm stressing out.  I'm not so much a fan of packing and all the stress of making sure I have everything for everyone or thinking about 12 hours in the car with a 5 year old and a puppy.... yeah.  Haha.    

So I'm sorry I won't be on here very much in the next few days.  I'll try to hop back on when I have a chance but I'm not sure when that'll be!  So I hope you all have a great weekend!
