When I went to the Cosmetic Company Outlet, I was browsing through their MAC collection and I saw this shadow and knew I had to have it. I have not seen a royal blue like this before and it's so beautiful. I know blue eyed girls aren't "supposed" to wear blue eyeshadow but that doesn't stop me haha. I love blues and this is such a beautiful color I couldn't pass it up. Just take a look...

| All the way to the left is what I'm assuming to be "Sea" and the middle is "Sky" and all the way to the right is them mixed together |
The first is a smokey eye
 |
| Obviously this is heavily edited but I think it's a cool picture since I really don't have that many of the hubby and myself together In this look, I have MAC "Myth" with my new "Right Image" Cremesheen glass on top on my lips |
The second is a simple look using the shadows on my waterline and under my eye
And in this look I have MAC "Pink Friday" with "Right Image" Cremesheen glass on top on my lips. Can you tell that I like that lipgloss? Because I totally do.
On the MAC website, these shadows retail for $20. At the CCO I paid $13.75. If you can find this color and you like blues, I'd say scoop it up. It's a pretty original color and it's so pigmented that I definitely think it's worth it.
Now on to some pictures from our mini vacation to Daytona this past weekend. We were only there for a couple of days but it was fun. It was my daughter's first time at the ocean and I just love everything about the ocean so it was like a dream trip for me.

| I am in love with this picture. |
 |
| Aren't they cute? |
 |
| Haha I took a picture of us together because I'm the photographer and I'm not usually in any pictures but I wanted a picture to show that I was there too! |

Ok, first things first, adorable family. Adorable. Dads with kids, makes my heart hurt.
ReplyDeleteNow, the makeup. That dark blue swatch, OH DAMN! The second I saw that I was in L.O.V.E. and I knew you were going to do some bomb smokey eye with it. And, yup, I was right. So gorgeous, and blue is not an easy color to work with at all. Amazing! I love how you made it so wearable in the second look as well, I might have to try that sometime!
Your beach photos are making me jealous, but it's almost the end of winter so I'll get over it.
ReplyDeleteThat duo is awesome. Both of your looks are really pretty, but the first one is amazing. What a blue!
The first look is to die for!!!! Those colors are stunning!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I must have those shadows!! Especially that royal blue! Those looks are sick! Especially that first one. OMG This is going on my wishlist RIGHT now!!
ReplyDeleteyou totally rock the blue eyeshadow :D whoever said blue eyed girls shouldnt wear blue obviously did not see your skills hehe and the beach blue totally reminds me of the shadow. i own this shadow and love looking at it but too scared to wear it out haha and isnt the right image awesome? its totally one of my faves hehe
ReplyDeleteLove both looks, wish I could wear blue like this!! I'm going to need to stop at my local CCO!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the first pic of you and your hubby. Such a lovely smile you have!! And I'm super jealous of the beach time you had!! We don't have nice beaches like that around here!
Awesome blue! Happens to you really well, I like especially the first makeup :) You are able to make a really good eye make-up, when I try it's always be really blurred .. You always have such lovely pictures too, especially the picture of you and your spouse and your child :)
ReplyDeleteI usually don't write/speak English, so it is not necessarily the best, but try to understand:)
And go look at my make-up, writings, although they have in Finnish, but the pictures tell more sizes:)

Your blue smokey eye is amazing!! I think you have outdone yourself!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThat Sea&Sky duo looks SO FLATTERING on you! I always stare at it and swatch it with my hand but it doesn't show up that special on my skin... I love the 2 looks you created with it! I think blue suits your skin/hair/features really nicely!
ReplyDeleteAnd the beach looks amazing... I wish I had a bear near me here in Canada :(
