Outfit of the Day + Makeup

Here I am being a fake fashion blogger.  Because I don't know much about fashion, and I usually shop at TJ Maxx and Forever 21.  I just love cute things.

My outfit of the day consists of a shirt from Marshall's, Uniqlo shorts, Forever 21 necklace, red leather bag from some NYC street fair, and kelly & katie shoes (which weren't so great because the entire wedge of one came off today while walking!)  Impressive labels, I know.

I sent some photos to my mom.  She replied, "Andrew looks so cute!  You, your legs look very healthy and strong."  Nice, Mom.

For makeup, I basically went for GLOWING.  My eyeshadow came from Urban Decay's Naked palette.  I used Smog, Half Baked, and Sidecar for my lids.  Then I dusted Virgin as a highlighter under my brow bone. I also added a shimmery light pink NYX eyeshadow in the center of my lid because that's what YouTube makeup gurus say to do ...it does something good.  Oh right. It gives a more wide-eyes illusion. I guess.  And I'm trying to use up that Lancome Artliner eye liner I dislike a lot.

I used Stila One Step Illuminate under my Tarte foundation to brighten my complexion.  The times I used the Illuminate alone or over my foundation, I looked really shiny and oily. Wearing my fave mascara:  Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Volumizing Mascara  Blush: Sisley Phyto Blush Eclat 3 Duo Mango  Lipstick: Clinique in Rose Envy Shimmer

Feeling a Little Green

I'm a huge believer in using up the things you already have...however, I am not the best at adhering to this belief. Therefore, I am revisiting my kinda-sorta resolution this year. So I unpacked my Caboodles and started playing!

Obviously, you should not use makeup (especially eye makeup!) that is expired. I'm pretty sure the Revlon ColorStay palette in Spring Moss on the left is way overdue for the trash, but it came in handy today. Oh well. The lighter MAC shadow is Swimming, and the other darker color is Knight Divine. I used everything except that 3rd Revlon in a khaki color.

It felt like a Terry Richardson photo shoot up in my room. Minus all the creepy sexual overture. Because it was just me.
