Detroit Tigers Opening Day Face of the Day

Baseball's back!  Today was opening day at Comerica Park in Detroit, and the first Tigers game of the season.  I watched the game on Fox Sports Detroit with Rod, Mario, and Gibby (Kirk Gibson) on commentary, which is always fun.  Of course I had to use some Tigers colors (orange and blue) on my face.

Warm Browns With a Touch of Orange EotD with MUFE, Milani and Marc Jacobs

Yum.  Warm fall colors.

I used: from the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Palette
                  -- Celestial Earth (sparkly/shimmery warm brown) all over the moving lid
                  -- Pinky Beige (light shimmery shell) in the inner corner by the tear duct
           Mialni Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Bella Mandarin in the crease
           Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Brown(Out) along the upper and lower lashes
           Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Marc Jacobs eyeliner in Brown(Out) -- Gah!  So gorgeous!

Have a wonderful autumn day!

P.S.  Did you notice the alliteration in the post title?

Orange Lips

One of the big makeup trends this spring is orange lip colors.  Not coral or peach, but orange.  I don't actually own more than two "true" orange lip products, but I have a few that are kind of orange-y or orange-ish.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous -- This is probably the truest orange lippie I own.  It has a smooth and balmy texture on application and can be easily sheered out to make the color less intense.  It isn't as moisturizing as a regular balm, but it is not drying (like I thought it would be because of the staining effect).  It's a medium orange with a little shimmer.

MAC Tinted Lipglass in Pink Lemonade -- A pearly, peachy pinky orange with quite a lot of pigmentation.  It is a Tinted Lipglass, so it's got the vanilla scent and the stickiness that MAC Lipglasses are known for.  I love this in the summer.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Colour Caresse in Sunset Angora -- This definitely has pink in it, but I think it's a wee bit orange-y.  It has a lovely, light balmy feel that I find slightly moisturizing.  I think it looks great with cheek colors like warm pinks, corals, peaches, and even just bronzer.  I've even worn it with a cool-toned pink blush (Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface), and thought it worked well.

Jemma Kidd Ultimate Lipstick Duo in Ingrid -- A dark orange-y coral with a little red in it.  It has a balm on one end and a lipstick on the other.  The lipstick is quite creamy, so I'm not sure why a balm is paired with it.  I wish the bullet was bigger.  I feel like I'm going to use this up quickly, and it's a discontinued product, I believe (I bought mine on amazon.com).

Shiseido The Makeup Lipgloss in G13 Red Coral -- I consider this to be the other true orange lip product I own, although it is on the sheer side, so quite a bit of my natural lip color shows through.  This is a dinosaur in my collection, and I don't think it's available anymore except maybe on ebay or possibly amazon.com.  It it a sheer, sparkly orange that looks much darker and brighter in the tube than on the lips.

So, there are my most orange-y lip colors.  My favorite is the Revlon Balm Stain in Rendezvous.  I have been considering adding NYX Lip Butter Gloss in Cherry Cheesecake to my collection...

Do you have any favorite orange lippies?

P.S. Sorry about the lack of lip swatches.  I'm feeling supremely lazy.

April in the D Face of the Day

So, it's baseball time again, which means it's time for me to do some blue and orange makeup!  Instead of using orange and blue colors on the eyes all at once like I usually do, I decided to use a tiny bit of blue liner, and wear the orange on the cheeks and lips.

Eyes:
   Elizabeth Mott pop! goes the shadow eyeshadow in Champagne from the lashes to the brows
   Chella Eyeliner Pen in Indigo Blue on the upper lashline
   L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara (one light coat)

Cheeks:
   Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Milk Chocolate as contour
   MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Foolish Me

Lips:
   Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous

I don't seem to have any really true orange blushes.  MAC blush in Foolish Me is the most non-coral orange blush I have in my stash.  And it's still on the peachy side.  Oddly enough, it's the only MAC blush I own.

The Chella liquid liner (which I got in an Ipsy bag), is a really beautiful color, but it kind of gives me trouble.  The applicator seems slightly scratchy, and I have to use the side of the brush to get any color from it.  I can't use the very tip of it.  I don't know if it's already drying out or what, but it bugs me.

Have an exquisitely lovely day!

Orange and Purple EotD

Orange and purple make an interesting color combination.

Shadows: Sephora Prisma Chrome Eyeshadow in Orange Facets

               Darling Girl Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Here's Johnny 

               Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Single in Brulee

Liner: Milani Liquid Eye Liquid-Like Eyeliner Pencil in Perfect Purple

I patted Here's Johnny (which has become one of my favorite shadows ever!) over Darling Girl Glitter Glue, which makes blending a little tricky, which is why it isn't blended perfectly.  I need a little more practice with it.

I did Tigers inspired makeup a few days ago to celebrate the Detroit Tigers being in the playoffs (and being American Central League Champs!).  I hope this isn't the last time I get to do Tigers makeup for this year....

Go Tigers!

What's on my nails today?

I thought it would be fun to show you what I've got on my tips and toes today.

This is SpaRitual Nail Lacquer in Gilded Age.  I'm not sure if this color is available anymore.  I bought this from HauteLook a few months ago.

On my toes I have OPI for Sephora in Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah.

Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah is available at Sephora and is on sale for $4.50 (down from $9.50).
