Brazilian Carnanval Inspired FOTD

Alexandra Dean over at All Things Girly is hosting an international-themed contest, asking participants to do a look inspired by a particular country. My inspiration was Brazil -- specifically, Brazilian carnaval. I embraced the green, blue and yellow of the country's flag for my makeup, and feathers, bright fabrics, shine and jewels for the rest of my outfit. (Even though I'm much more low key than the real celebration, of course!)

Tinkerbell Inspired FOTD Contest Entry

This is my entry for Sarah's Disney Inspired contest, which is running until June 1. Since I recently purchased a short blonde wig, I figured it would be perfect to use for my Tinkerbell inspired look!


I applied a light beige shimmer to the inner corners of my eyes, followed by a light green on the middle and darker green on the outer V. A light touch of blush on the cheeks, and a swipe of pale pinkish lip gloss topped things off. Oh, and lots of mascara!

The goods:

I feel pretty, oh so pretty...

Ice Princess FOTD

Quite literally. This is the look I did for Mayaari's Winter Challenge. (Click to see all the entries.)

I guess ice princesses don't smile, eh? Because it's so cold!

The hat is from Target....so warm, I love it.

Holiday Contest Look

Ummm...I'm the dumbass who forgot to post this before I sent in my entry for Lady L Online's holiday contest...sad b/c I think it came out so cute!


(Edit: The headband is actually a bow meant to go around a present box. I picked it up for $2 at the drugstore.)
(I had another long entry in the works with these photos but I decided to scrap it...I'll share more later.)

Friday FOTD: Red Lips, Dark Brows

I'm usually more of a gloss girl but tonight I tried a fresh face with true red lips. You may not be able to see it, but I also filled in my eye brows with a goldish-brown eyeliner. It all looks more dramatic in person, especially because my skin is so pale.
