Pink & Plum FOTD

On this particular day, I applied my makeup with minimal interruption from Hannah. (That's a feat all by itself!) When I went outside to take photos, I should have known this wasn't going to go well when she ran out to me begging for new polish. She is nail-polish obsessed and wants to change her color every day.

"Pweeeease, Momma!!"

It turns out that this is one of those looks that does not photograph well, the colors just look blah on camera. Had I realized this sooner, I would have intensified the color a bit and then retook the pictures but I became distracted by a monkey crawling on my back.

 

 

"I wanna sit up here!"

Then of course, Miss Priss needed to be in pictures to show off her lipgloss.

She doesn't look like me at all.....

Then there was the inevitable kissy face photos.

Hot stuffs!

She's much too cool to smile. :/

After all of that, I ended up with one almost-decent shot of my makeup. It's all good though, since the photos of Hannah are priceless. <3 

Better next time, I promise!

You get whatcha get!

I generally play it safe with my makeup, but I decided to come out of my comfort zone to try out a blue & orange eye look. 

Can't touch this!

After I put this look together I realized that these are also the colors of the University of Florida. If hell ever freezes over and I decide to be a Gator fan, I know how to do my makeup. Hah!
(Just in case you're not an avid SEC fan; Kentucky + Florida = not friends.)










Normally I have trouble getting subtle colors to show up on camera but this time I've got streaks in my shadow that looked perfectly blended IRL. Hmm, what's that all about? I can tell the darker marks are from where I originally applied the dark blue shade, but those telltale lines weren't visible to the naked eye.

Is that mascara on my lid? Good thing I didn't name this "MrsCassizzleSparkles perfect makeup blog, eh?

I was expecting someone, aka, the hubs or my parents, to say a few words along the lines of, "What the hell are you wearing?" (That was the response the first day I wore red lipstick. I got the same response the second day as well. :/ ) To my surprise, no one said anything except for the DH who told me that my eyes really popped. I'm thinking that I should come out of my comfort zone more often. :D
