Sleek PPQ Me, Myself, and Eye Look #5

Hello Everyone,

As I was saying before, I'm on the mission to use the shades from Sleek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette that I would not normally use. So for today's look, I randomly selected two shades that I think most people would probably not put together. But I am me, and something like that never stopped me :)

I think my makeup matched the "nice" fall day here in UK, or at least it matched my mood which was just ok. I felt like dressing up and going early Christmas shopping for the family because we're ALWAYS late with our gifts and I decided to NOT be late this year! So there! Gifts will go out early lol.

I actually have GOSH lipgloss on, but because the day was so fugly pretty, it looks like I have nothing on.

I didn't realized, but Supernova matches my sweater exactly! That made me happy for some reason. :) And I also want to know why is that dark green called Blue Monday? I don't see it as blue, I see it as very dark green. Am I crazy, or is my lightning playing tricks with me?

What do you think? Would you try this shade combo?

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself & Eye Look #4

Hello my Funky Readers,

I have a pretty boring look for you today. Well, boring by my standards that is ;P

I actually wore this look twice in a row, but I didn't take any photos the first time because it was so FUGLY outside I didn't want to deal with it. Guess what? Today is also super FUGLY, but today I felt more up to messing with my camera settings. My husband will be proud, since he is always complaining about how I won't learn my camera.

Turns out, I really don't like these shades! They are great in terms of application and lasting power, but I'm not partial to these particular colors. It could be because every other shade in the palette is overshadowed by that "letter Z in reverse" that's right in between this green and lavender.

Which shades should I use next for a look?

Wanna see my new business card?

Hello Everyone,

Few days ago I got an email from Jen at Beauty Junkie in London letting me know that I've won a ticket to HPMSocial hosted by HandpickedMedia. I literally went OMFG because I never ever EVER win anything! Well, now I can't say that, can I? :) And since I keep missing The Only Way is Blogging, this would be my first ever blogger event, and I would say in typical Lyuba fashion, I always end up with something big for my first time.

Anyways, I figured this was a good enough reason to get off my lazy behind and order myself some new business cards. The thing is, I have more two blogs than I care to update that I update fairly regularly, and consider them my main blogs. One of them is FunkyMakeupJunkie, another is my StrawberryKimono blog. I have a business card for StrawberryKimono which I give out to people I meet when I'm dressed in kimono, or just when I meet someone interesting. The problem with this business card, is that it doesn't list my other blog. And quite frankly, I can't be bothered to carry any more business cards (I also have one for Kimono de Jack, and one for cosplay that I take to conventions), so for a while I was entertaining the idea of combining the information from both blogs on one business card. Maybe that's not a very business savvy decision, but I can't separate myself from makeup and kimono, both of those things define me in equal way. Plus the contact information is still the same.

So here it is, my new business card!

I'm pretty happy with the design :) It matches my header, and I'm wearing a kimono in that photo. Of course, I wish I could have THIS design, but due to time difference between US & UK, my friend didn't suggest the idea until AFTER I placed the order. Guess now I have to give these out as much as I can, so I can order business cards with Mittens in them :)

Do you have a business card for your blog? Do you think they are even needed?

I love my kitties!

Hello Everyone,

I haven't spoken about my kitties in a while and I think it's time to fix the problem . Over the past few month I got a lot of new photos, so are you ready for some UBER CUTENES?! :)

Look at those PAWS! :)

Echo always finds the best spots to sleep.

They get to go outside in the backyard.

Mittens looking all prim and proper.

I'm telling you, best spot to sleep at!

Echo doesn't need much, just some strategically placed scratches.

Paws!

Mittens always likes to cuddle.

She loves the underwear drawer, or any drawer for that matter. One time Mr. Funky actually closed the drawer with her in it because he didn't notice she was there, and I only found her after several hours and after I started hearing some meowing.

Hanging out with me :)

My toy!!! MINE!

Mommy, get back to taking those photos!

Life sucks.

You know you want to pet my belly right? Right? (I got the claws ready too)

If there is a box around, Echo will get in it.

Oh there is not space on the couch? It's ok, I'll just fit in there! :)

Hehe, it's even cute when I have both of them sleeping on top of me :)

Mittens protecting her new toy.

Do you have any pets? I would love to see photos! :)

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself and Eye Look #3

Hello Everyone,

I'm back with another look using Skeek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette and this time I've used my three favorite shades. I'm sure it wasn't that hard to guess which shade is my favorite, seeing how I always gravitate towards various reds.
~*~*~
На третий день я  использовала три моих любимых оттенка. Я уверена, что какие мои любимые  было не трудно догадаться,  видя, как я всегда возвращаюсь к различным красным тонам...

I simply love those three shades! I think I can go on and on with creating looks with them and not get tired.
~*~*~
Я просто люблю эти три оттенка! Я думаю, что смогу создавать и создавать с ними и не устану.

I'm using Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Anemone on my lips and I simply love that stuff! It's my favorite balm at the moment.
~*~*~
На губах Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm бальзам/глосс? (как на Русском называется а? А то я эти термины в Украине не выучила, а потом в Америке мне как-то не надо было хаха) и я просто люблю эту вешь! Это мой любимый бальзам на данный момент.

I know that I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I simply can't tell you enough just how much I love those three shades! But I need to give some love to the other shades in the palette, so I promise I'll have something different for the next FOTD.
~*~*~
Ну что я могу еще сказать? Повторить что люблю я эти три оттенка, люблю!! Но обещаю Я обязательно еще что-нибудь другое для следующей FOTD сделаю, с другими оттенками.
