Get the Look - Iridescent Bubbles Upon My Eyes

I remember being a kid, and getting a new bottle of bubbles each summer. I'd sit in the sunshine in my backyard, and try to make the biggest one possible with my little wand. Careful concentration, along with quick breaths were key.... And before you knew it, I'd have a sparkling, shimmering bubble reflecting all sorts of rainbow colors in the sunlight.

For a while, I was so enamored with them, during a trip to a Science Museum, I stayed at the bubble table while everyone continued on. Finally realizing I wasn't with them, one of the chaperons came back and found me still playing. Lucky for me, I didn't get into trouble. I was mesmerized with the tiny bubble clumps, each one having a different iridescent reflection- but all of them with the same colors. To me, they were magic. They still are!
 

 

When my friend Mary posted this song to my profile, along with a request to do create a look which was light, airy and colorful. This is also one of my favorite songs, from one of my all time favorite movies! I mean come on- what girl wouldn't want a pair of ruby red, glittery shoes?




I scooped up some colors, and quickly got to work. A little color here, a little color there... And soon upon my eyes danced the same colors one would find when looking at the surface of a bubble! I think out of all my looks, this one is one of my top 5. It just reminds me so much of being a kid- and sitting in the sun blowing bubbles. Or even better- near a bubble machine, so as they popped out into the air, they felt like butterflies alighting on your skin as they popped.

 

For a little extra shine, I glued on a 2mm and a 4mm crystal on the inner and outer corners of my eye. With the application of fantasy lashes in magenta, it really upped the look to the next level of pretty. More glitter, more sparkle- gotta love it! Of course, if worn to work you wouldn't want to add the extra glitteries and lashes.... But for a night out, or a Halloween look.... You can't go wrong!

 

In order to blend the colors, you want to make sure you have a fluffy brush that will not wipe all the color off your lids. If the brush is too dense, it will do such. By using a fluffy brush, it will evenly distribute the colors and gradually blend the colors out softly without wiping it off completely. The brush I'm using is from e.l.f. and is the Blending Brush. You can also use the e.l.f. Crease Brush to blend- however, it's considerably smaller than the blending brush, so it may take a little more time to achieve the soft gradient blends. As with any look, if a color goes on too sheer- blend it out as if it were the color you wanted. Go back for a little bit more, and continue alternating between the blending and adding color until you achieve the pigment you want.

Remember- have fun!

Get the Look - SKITTLES! Taste the Rainbow!

Updated 03/05/2011 & 03/06/2011


This is strictly my own personal opinion about the matter. All material uncovered was done through a public google internet search with a few different keyword entries.

Due to information uncovered and revealed about this company, I cannot in good conscience or good faith recommend anyone support this reportedly handmade, organic small business. If information had been disclosed prior to discovery by the shop owner herself, I would have no problem with continuing to purchase. Regretfully, the scope of the lie and how many different people it could have potentially affected and hurt leaves me no other choice than to say this is not an honest company to do business with.

For information as to why, you can read more below:

Taste the rainbow- it's delicious!

I've got spectrum hued eyes... And I'm on a roll! Technically, three videos posted in the past 24 hours... Phew!

I'm totally kicking patooties as far as it comes for video posting lately. I'm on a roll gals... Ok, so here's the look. Skittles- as in the rainbow candy confection that I can't have until I get my braces removed- sooo, a little over a year. These are one of my favorite candies. I just don't really want their ooey-gooey goodness ripping a bracket off my teeth... I'll settle for the colors on my eyes thanks!

Apologies for my giant face... When the image is smaller, it looks oddly oversaturated.

To get this look, a variety of colors from Orglamix Cosmetics were used to get the grab everyone's attention eyes. Basically, you want ROYGBV, along with a muted white and a champagne color.

The spectrum colors consist of:

Red Currant
Mandarin (*)
Citron (*)
Absinthe (*)
Clover
Acai Berry

The lid color is Slate, and the brow shimmer is a lovely color called Champagne Toast. *how appropriate!* I applied these dry so I wouldn't be taking up too much time on camera rinsing the brush, re-wetting, applying color, etc etc etc. Look at how vibrant they come out just dry- imagine wet! Well, you don't have to... I posted a few of 'em over on my Facebook Page for you to ogle an admire- which was done! Sweet like candy! Yes... I totally copped the rainbow look and turned it into Skittles.

All cosmetics purchased by me except when marked with (*) These colors were won in a blog giveaway contest- I did not purchase them.

It's ok... Right??

I sure can't taste the rainbow right now....

But at least my eyes can look like one!

MMmmmmm Jasmine Tea Rocks!

I'm off to grab another cup of tea ;)
