I'm back (with some looks and some other ramblings)!!

Hey guys!  It's been forever since I've done a post and I'm so sorry!  It's just been so much harder to bounce back from this last surgery than I thought it would be and then not having a camera didn't make me more motivated to do anything.  So I finally got a new camera (a Nikon Coolpix P500, in case anyone is wondering.  I got it on Craigslist and saved myself $250!!) and hopefully I'll be able to figure it out so I can post more.

In all honesty, I haven't hardly worn eye makeup at all.  Today was my second time wearing an actual colored eyeshadow and it was my third time wearing black eyeliner since my surgery, which was almost 7 weeks ago.  So you haven't really missed much.  But I do have two looks for you today.  A colorful one and a neutral one.  I'll go with the colorful one first.

I was feeling the bright blue today so I went with that.  I didn't get very many good pictures but I do like the pictures I got. 

There's something I really like about just being able to see the color around the eyes, especially if it's such a bright color.

What I used for this:

Eyes:

Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Black Bean" as a base all over lid and under the eye

Makeup Geek (MUG) "Poolside" shadow all over lid and under eye

MUG "Neptune" in outer corner and along the crease

MUG "Mermaid" on center of the lid for a pop of shimmery color

MUG "Purely Naked" to soften the edges of the blue

MUG "Shimma Shimma" as a highlight

L'oreal HIP Chrome Liner "Black Shock"

MUG "Corrupt" to soften liner

L'oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24H Mascara "Blackest Black"

Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara "Blackest Black" to add a little more definition

Eyebrows:

ELF Cream Liner "Coffee" to outline

Anastasia brow pencil "blonde" to fill them in

Anastasia brow powder duo "Golden Blonde" to soften the pencil

Lips:

MAC "Myth" lipstick

Revlon Lip Butter "Tutti Frutti"

And my neutral look.  Since I was playing around with my camera, I figured I'd show you the pictures I took of my Naked 2 palette (which I used for this look), even though we all know what the Naked 2 palette looks like haha.

This one isn't as clear but I didn't notice until I uploaded it.  Sorry!

And the look I did (sorry it's not the most exciting look ever!).

What I used:

Eyes:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

All shadows from the Naked 2 Palette:

"YDK" on inner and outer third of lid

"Verve" on middle third of lid

"Pistol" in outer v and just above crease

"Chopper" above crease color to warm it up a little

"Bootycall" as highlight

L'oreal HIP Chrome Liner "Black Shock"

"Blackout" to soften liner

L'oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24H Mascara "Blackest Black"

Not the most thrilling look in the world but it was pretty and flattering.

And these are just a few more pictures I've taken since I got my camera two days ago haha.  They're not of makeup though!

My kiddo and my meatball!

Meatball (her real name is Delilah but she looks like a meatball so that's what I call her haha).

One of our tortoises.  I think tortoises are so cute!

Well that's that!  I start chemo again tomorrow.  I have to do 8 rounds which puts me, as long as I stay on schedule, to be done with chemo the week before Thanksgiving.  It's going to be a long 4 months but I will be SO glad for this to be over with.  And I think it's going to make the holidays that much better knowing this will be behind me.  You all have been so incredibly supportive of me.  I cannot thank you enough for your comments and e-mails and comments on my facebook page.  Even if I don't respond, please know that I do read what you write and it means so much to me.  I really cannot tell you enough how much it means to me.  So thank you so so much!

And hopefully the chemo won't knock me down too much so I can keep posting!  Thanks all for reading this!!!  I hope you're having a great week!!
