Get Pretty Version 3.0

I haven’t posted a Get Pretty makeup post in awhile, so I figured we were due! And I would have had it posted last night, except my night got away from me since Wednesdays are evenings I work two jobs! So, apologies – but – here we go!

I wore this look out last night, actually, to host my evening trivia show at a local restaurant! It is a pretty simple post to pull off for yourself, if you feel so inclined!

Here’s the list of products that I used:

Face:

Foundation – Revlon Photoready Airbrush in Vanilla

Brows – BeneFit Eye Zings in Medium

Finishing – Bare Minerals Matte Foundation in Fairly Light

Eyes:

Lid Primer – Bare Minerals Prime Time

Allover – Kat Von D Sugar Skull (from Memento Mori palette)

Blending – Kat Von D Meditation (from Memento Mori palette)

Outer corner/crease – Kat Von D Hard Luck (from Memento Mori palette)

Waterline Liner – Ulta Smokey Eyes in Black

Mascara – Prestige My Biggest Lashes in Black

All Kat Von D eyeshadows are available at Sephora, and most other items are available at drugstores or Ulta.

Since I’m not one for outfit posts, for the most part, but I’m definitely a girly girl once and awhile, and love to share my makeup selections - be sure to keep checking back for more Get Pretty makeup posts, as well as Get Pretty Reviews!

The newest developments!

First of all, let me apologize for my silence minus a couple of Book Club Mondays! I have had a whole lot going on, and not a lot of time (or will) to write about those things. Let's make it really easy on you:

• First! I bought a domain name for the blog! You can reach the blog at the old address (http://anepicliz.blogspot.com), or you can try out the new address, which is simply http://www.anepicliz.com!
• A lot of cool stuff is coming. I'm going to pick back up with How To Tuesdays and some of my other weekly stuff, as well as doing special posts and even starting some new weekly posts.
• I'm going to start reviewing music as well as books (since it is what I've been doing seemingly forever), and even doing posts about bands that have been long broken up that I never want to fade from memory.

I'm sure there's more, but a girl does have to have her secrets, doesn't she?

Get Pretty! - Version 2.0

This week, I wore makeup - eep! - TWICE. In one week! I was surprised at myself. So here's two separate looks, one with a product list and one without.

I wore this to host a trivia show last minute - for nearly a year I've been a part-time trivia host in the Milwaukee area, and I was called on Thursday evening a couple hours before the show was supposed to start (and about four beers into my drinking for the evening) and wound up having to throw something together pretty quickly. The photo sucks, I know.

This weekend - hold your breath - I was asked on a first date! And you know what? It went well, and he actually spoke to me the next day! Perhaps there's hope for me after all! So this weekend I've been taking extra care of myself and actually taking time out for me each day. This was today's look!

I opted to get white trashy with it - that, and I really wanted to rock out my Free the WM3 shirt for one of the last times - unless I craft a revision to it, which I haven't thought too far into.

• Foundation: Cover Girl Clean Oil Control/MAC Studio Fix
• Brows: Dark half of the Clinique Coffee Shop eyeshadow duo
• Eyeshadow Base: LASplash Splashproof Sealer
• Outside Corner: Kat Von D shadow in Prague
• Middle: Kat Von D shadow in Long Distance
• Inner Corner: Kat Von D shadow in Sugar Skull
• Highlight: Kat Von D shadow in Sugar Skull
• Liquid Liner: Kat Von D Autograph Liner in Turbo Lover (currently on sale for $5 at sephora.com!)
• Lashes: Prestige My Biggest Lashes in Very Black
• Loose Powder: Cover Girl Professional Loose Powder

One thing I know I forgot to mention in my last Get Pretty post was how I set my makeup - and this may be strange and do it at your own risk - but I use Aqua Net. Just close my eyes, spray my face, and go. Works as well as anything else. Chap Stick also makes a good eyeshadow base in a bind.

It was also time for new nails, and once again, because I'm addicted, I went for the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips, this time in "Wild Child". They're fun! If I felt like having a real zoo on my nails, I'd have paired them with what I have left of the leopard print, but I decided that would be too much. 

That's all I have for this one! Until next time!
