the Balm Shady Lady Vol 3 Look #6

Hello my Funk Readers,

Here is another look from couple of weeks ago. Come-hither Heather is pretty much my favorite shade, so I can't help but wanting to use it. Open to Offers Olwen is used on the top and bottom lid, and on the bottom/inner corner of the lid I used Safe Bet Annette and blended it in with the green.

What do you think about my hair? About this time I've started to use some hair products and even *GASP* blow drying it! I can see some result, but usually my hair is very easy to take care of and I don't do much with it. I wanted to experiment after I got some samples at the BINTM Live Show, and I'm liking the results. But I need to play some more with all these stuff, so my clueless self can form an opinion.

On the lips I used e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick, but in a different shade since the one I reviewed had broken on me. They are pretty similar though, this one is Cherry I think.

What do you think? Would you wear this color combo?

the Balm Shady Lady Vol 3 Look #5

Hello Ladies,

This week been a little bit crazy for me. Most of it is the usual, like exams and the last week of class, but today I also had my wisdom teeth removed. I was mildly freaking out before, to the point that preparation took a whole hour, since they were waiting for me to calm down (guess). The assistant looked at me all asking "are you nervous or something? Your heart rate just went up from 80 to 150". I was literally "DUH I told you I was afraid!". But it all went well, I was sedated but I was actually not out of it at all! I was awake the whole time, and while I didn't feel any pain or HEARD anything, I knew what was happening and kept watching doctor's hands from the little "window" that was left from when they covered my eyes.

The operation itself was very quick, but my two top teeth were already out so they didn't have to cut into anything. My one single one just started to come in, but again, if I left it it would have probably grown without any problems. But I figured it's better to have them out just in case. I was texting to my husband the second they took off that finger thing that monitors the heart pressure, and I feel just fine right now. I have more of a mild discomfort than any real pain, and I'm hoping it stays that way! Overall, I had a very good experience, but nonetheless I'm happy it's all over.

Today's look is from couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately I just couldn't succeed in taking any good photos. It is not my usual look, so not surprisingly I'm not that comfortable with it. Just too "tame" for my liking :). Still, I'm much happier with this look than I was with this one, probably because I didn't use the "fugly" light green shade.

What do you think? Would you wear this look? :)

Another FOTD with L'Oreal's Project Runway Charming Cockatoo's Pout

Hello Ladies,

I've been wearing L'Oreal Project Runway Charming Cockatoo's Pout lipstick pretty often lately, and today I have another look for you with it. You can see the first two looks here and here.

I wanted to do something simple with the eyes, so I've used Gosh Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in Brown with Wet n Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Turquoise as an accent. I've actually did a tutorial on how to get the look, it is pretty easy but makes the eyeliner so much more fun. :)

I am still so in love with this shade of the lipstick. It is gorgeous and so much more wearable than I thought when I first saw it.

I love it so much that I've included it in my 1 Year Blogging Giveaway, so if you like the shade, head over there and enter. :)

Do you have any lipsticks that you just love to wear in the winter?

REVIEW: Bourjois Little Round Pot Intense Eyeshadow 04, 05, & 08

Hello My Funky Readers,

Few weeks ago I won  a ticket to HPM Social event in London, and while there I had a chance to swatch some goodies from Bourjois. What's more, everyone who wanted could also put their name down for trying some of the products. I've requested to try three of their Bourjois Little Round Pot Intense Eyeshadows after having a swatching marathon by their stand.

Until now, I have never actually tried any of Bourjois Little Round Pot eyeshadows, mostly because I dislike buying individual eyeshadows and prefer the palettes. But I still remember, when I first walked in to Boots over two years ago, and saw them, and stayed glued to the stand swatching and swatching. I even bought one of them to send to a friend in the USA, but never bought one for myself. This year Bourjois updated the formula and the packaging, but they still had escaped my notice until couple of weeks ago at the event, and few days ago when they arrived at my doorstep.

the Balm Shady Lady Vol 3 Look #4

Hello Ladies,

After yesterday's "fiasco" eye look, I have a much better one for you today. Of course, this is all based on my opinion, and not everyone will agree with me. One of my friends actually loves the green I've used in yesterday's look, while I hate it. She, on the other hand, doesn't like any blue eye shadows, which I like.

I didn't expect the look to turn out that dark, but I like it nonetheless. I've added light pink on the bottom lid just to be different, and to tie the whole look together. If I can say so myself, those 3 shades work pretty well together. :)

I love the way all these purple shades make my eye color POP! :) I've never realized that my eyes could be THAT green until I started seriously playing with makeup.

What do you think about this color combo?
