I love Bare Minerals eyeshadows. LOVE them. Until recently, I wasn't aware of exactly how many there were: I'd never been inside a Bare Escentuals store before, and only saw the selection at Sephora. But if you go to the Bare Escentuals website, there are literally hundreds of colors to choose from.

One of my favorite things about their eyeshadow is that it's so blendable, you can put any two colors together you want. Like today's eye, which features pink and green.

Hello all! Today I got to go watch the Minnesota Wild play the Boston Bruins at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Now, I'm not a fan of either team but, being a fan of the Colorado Avalanche, I really dislike the Wild. So I went in Bruins colors :)

For today's eye, I used three of Buxom's Stay There Eyeshadows. I love them; they're between a cream and a powder, and they blend like nothing I've ever used before. And they're all named after dogs... so cute! :)

Today's eye was an experiment to see what a bright eyeliner would look like paired with black eyeshadow. I sandwiched a NARS shadow between red shadow and red liner for this:

...yes, Hot Topic eyeshadow. I'm cringing as well. I couldn't find my Manly palette this morning, though (NO idea where it disappeared to... how does one misplace an entire palette?), and found that while digging through my drawer of random makeup. It did stay put all day, though, I'll give it that!

February's birthstone is the amethyst, and today's eye paid tribute:

When I sat down at my vanity this morning, I planned on creating a jewel-toned eye with some pretty blues, purples, and reds. For some reason, though, my fingers gravitated toward a Bare Escentuals Prime Time Primer Shadow, and that went out the window.



I covered my lid with the primer and blended it up into the crease, then used Too Faced Nice Stems from crease to brow. On the outer corner, I blended a little bit of NARS Night Clubbing (wish I would have had Night Porter for the green! Dang it!)

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! My V-Day has been pretty low-key, just the way I like it. Earlier today I went out for coffee with a friend, and now I'm at home with my husband, where we plan to sit around and watch a movie. I'd thought about doing over-the-top Valentine's eyes but decided to go low key on them, as well; I still went for romantic, though. :)

This morning, I was short for time so I opted for something nice and simple.



I got my Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box and covered my lids in Peace, then blended Ransom onto the outer edges. I lined with the 24/7 Pencil in Deviant, and put on a coat of mascara.

Today marks the end of Space Week, and I'm celebrating with a Firefly-themed eye. Firefly was a sci-fi show that only aired for one season, yet became a cult favorite and finally earned its own big-screen movie, Serenity, due to fans' demands for closure.

When I noticed that Too Faced had a shadow called Firefly, and Lorac had a shadow called Serenity, the chance was too good to pass up. I added in Urban Decay's Space Cowboy, which fit right in with the theme-- Firefly was pretty much a Western in space.



Then, at Sephora, I was playing with the fun new Glitter Body Art Kit and accented with a star...
