Purple, Blue, Pink, Green & Gold Look Using Sugarpill Cosmetics

I'm a little disappointed that the pictures don't show just how vibrant the look is in real life considering how crazy pigmented Sugarpill eyeshadows are. But I'm sure you all get the general idea. This look uses colors from both the Sweet Heart and Burning Heart Palette as well as Sugarpill Goldilux loose eyeshadow on the inner corners.

EOTD: Berries and Cream

This look wasn't intended to look like the Berries N Créme flavored Starbust, it just happened! I used mostly Sugarpill Cosmetics with a few from other brands including Make Up For Ever, MAC and Glamour Doll Eyes. I accidently deleted the face shots but I really liked how this look came out so I had to post it. For someone who hasn't done any makeup looks in a while, this came out looking pretty fierce! I hope you enjoy. :)

By the way, I got a new camera yesterday! Finally! I'm using a Canon SD1400 IS. I'm still adjusting to it but so far, it's not bad. I actually really like it.

MUFE #5 applied to the center of eyelid

Peacock Inspired Look

Finally! After a decade of not posting any makeup looks, I finally got around to doing one today. But please be advised that these pictures are not done with any professional camera. I am still digital-cameraless and these pictures happen to be taken with my iPhone 4. So the quality of it may not be that great but I was actually very surprised to see how decent they came out. But anyway, I created this look using Glamour Doll Eyeshadows. Remember to check out their website and get 10% off your entire purchase of $10 or more by entering "tinamarieonline". :)

What's in my Bag Video?!

My very first video in a really long time! I posted this on my personal blog because of my Blog Challenge and I thought I would post it on here as well. I've seen a lot of ladies do these videos so I thought I should make a video too. Bare with me guys, I don't do this nearly enough! But with that said, enjoy this long, hopefully entertaining video of me showing you guys what's in my bag. I still can't believe I spent over 10 minutes showing what's inside my bag. I had to edit so much to keep it under 10 minutes! Hope you appreciate it. :)

Eyeko Nail Polish - Review, Swatches and Photos

*NOTE: I have really horrible nails and cuticles at the moment so please don't remind me! I'm currently aware of how they look right now. D:





Top Row: Coral Polish, Vampira Polish, Punk Polish
Bottom Row: Chi Chi Polish, Saucy Polish



Eyeko polishes are amazing! I was so excited to try these out because I've heard nothing but great things about their polishes. I was very surprised with the pigmentation and the lasting power of these. Also, they come in really unique packaging and cute names. The polish itself is pretty thick in consistency but with one coat, the color comes off really opaque which is what I love about these. You can easily get away with one coat of their polishes. Two coats is more than enough and three is really pushing it! The only polishes that required two coats were Chi Chi Polish and Vampira Polish.

AVAILABLE AT: Eyeko.com
SIZE: 8.5 ml (0.30 fl oz.)
VALUE FOR PRICE: 5/5
EASE OF USE: 5/5
PACKAGING: 4/5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 5/5
OVERALL USE: 5/5


PROS:

Creamy consistency
Pretty good lasting power (About 1 week before they started chipping)
Cute packaging
Very pigmented and opaque

CONS:
Certain colors like Saucy and Coral require a really good base coat otherwise it will stain your nails
Takes a little while for them to dry (in my opinion)
Some shades are a little too thick and I tend to put too much on one nail

Contact Me Whenever You Want!

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I've done looks and I'm really sorry! It truly upsets me because I spend a lot of time at home and I get really motivated to do makeup looks but if you've read from a previous post, my dog chewed up my memory stick and I can't take any pictures without it. Hopefully I could get a replacement soon so I can get into my beauty blogging grind again. :)

For the meantime, I'm just getting ready for school since summer is practically over for a lot of us. I'm really excited about going back to school! I can't wait to get my degree in Hospitality Management. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time now! I'm super anxious and I'm all giddy like a little girl going into elementary because I got my school supplies all ready in my bag! Hahah.

But anyway, because I've been neglecting my blog, I've decided that this would be a good way to interact with my readers not just on a makeup related level but on any level! So if you have a Blackberry, Droid, itouch or iPhone, then feel free to chat with me any time with pMessenger. I just heard about this and so I thought this would be fun! pMessenger is a new way to communicate with people through different phones. Don't worry, your phone number or email is NOT gonna be floating in outer space for someone to take it! It doesn't gather any personal information. It's just like using AIM or Yahoo Messenger, but it's on your phone! So if you do want to contact me then feel free to message me on pMessenger.
