Sports Team Series - Miami Dolphins

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:

Another sports team has been created!


Well, on my eyes at least! This latest request comes from Melanie and Paola, and is dedicated to Lexi! Whilst orange and teal are colors that certainly don't look attractive together (think of their uniforms... eek!) they certainly can, and will, work on the eyes!













So here we go.... Grabbing a few colors, we paint with our brushes! Priming your eyes before putting on shadows helps for a number of reasons:

1. The colors stay put
2. There is no creasing
3. Minimal blending of colors (where they meet, if not blended together)
4. No "runny" makeup- as in melting off your face

This is great, especially taking into consideration where you watch football games:
1. A Stadium
2. A Sports Bar (21+ only please!!)
3. Your living room

There are various factors which come in to play in each setting which could help your makeup run off your face unless... Namely, your eye shadows.

Stadiums- they can be indoors or out. If you're out, you hope you don't get rained out.... Snowed out... Or even worse- furnace blasting hot, converting your once perfect face into a melting waxy mess of color. Bad bad bad! When you apply foundation which is liquid based, always finish by setting your makeup with a translucent or High Definition powder. This locks your carefully created porcelain finish into staying that way. The same thing goes for eye shadows- the eyelid primer you use essentially locks your eye colors in place. And, of course, always use waterproof mascara if you're going to be outside or at a bar- you never know when it's going to rain... Or when a beer fight's gonna break out.

Now that we have the ground rules established, see how to create the look below!


Face Off:
Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream
e.l.f. Concealer
Too Faced Illuminating Foundation in London Fair
e.l.f. High Definition finishing powder

The Eyes Have It:
Moi Minerals Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in Drifter.
Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadows in Mandarin and Vanilla Birthday Cake
Wet 'N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black
WNW Gel/Creme Eyeliner in Black
WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black


Finishing the Look:
e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine in Candlelight


There you have it- knockout team colors Eye Look for the Miami Dolphins!
This one's for you Lexi!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

Let's hear it for purple, orange and white! Yes, they can be worn together! And I show you how!



This was a request from Relynn over on my Facebook Page where I asked anyone interested to post their favorite Team Names and Colors in the Forum found underneath the "Discussions" Tab. I'm going to try and do these in order, so if there are multiple teams- what I'm going to do is one first, then go to the next person's inquiry, and then perhaps come back every few teams or so.... Just to be fair!




Anyways- if you want to see your team colors in a color combination on my eyes, go leave your info! Clemson University Football here we come! I dove in with three of the best representative colors in my collection that can easily be had- and they're listed below. In addition, I'm using brushes from e.l.f. which include the "C" Brush, the Blending Brush, The Crease Brush, and The Small Precision Brush.











Bright and bold colors, but subtle enough that it's not over the top for drama factor. This is one combination I just might end up wearing one day because I feel like it- the colors made my eyes really pop and I love how they shimmered and sparkled. Let's get to the good stuff!!



Face Off:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection

e.l.f. Concealer

Too Faced Illumination Foundation Wand in London Fair

Physicians Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation in Translucent






The Eyes Have It:


Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadows in:


Acai Berry

Mandarin

Vanilla Birthday Cake

Wet 'N Wild Gel Eyeliner in Black

WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black

WNW Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black

Finishing Touches:

e.l.f Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Bark

Orglamix Blush in Ginger




With all that done- I'm ready for the chips and dip! How about you??

Second up for the Sports Team series is one of my hometown teams: The Boston Bruins! Now I caught a lot of flak for not doing one of the Mass. teams first off, but whatever.... I promised it would be the second! And of course, since hockey season is starting to gear up- I had to get this one done! Woo-hoo!


It's time for Black, Gold & White! I haven't been to a game yet... But soon I tell you, soon! There's nothing like sitting in the stands at a rink, freezing your patootie off. Cold fingers, keeping them burrowed into your pockets in some attempt to keep them warm. I digress.






Hopefully, this look will come in handy-dandy when my sister and a few of her friends take the trek to see the team again this coming December 2010. I'm so jealous! But it's alright- I'm the one that came up with this look! [laughs]

The cosmetics I'm using are from My Beauty Addiction, and definitely a worthy combination for the Bruins! In my entire collection of mineral makeup, these were the perfect colors for me to use.
Highly pigmented, Pot 'O Gold absolutely jumps off your eyes and screams "look at me!!!", and as for the Chrome- well, you might as well have peeled it off a nice bumper. It's highly reflective, and bright! Storm is a deliciously dark and sparkly shadow which blends out to a beautiful soft black, and the last touch is pearl, which looks just like some crushed up dainty shimmers. Are you ready for some hockey!?!


The Face Off:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream
e.l.f. concealer
MBA Shadow Poxy Eye primer- all over lid, and on the bags under my eyes
Physicians Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation in Translucent
e.l.f. High Definition Powder
Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in Baie Rose used as Blush
e.l.f. Minty Lip Gloss in New York City


The Eyes Have It:
My Beauty Addiction Mineral Eye Shadows:
Pot 'O Gold
Storm
Chrome
Pearl

So here's to all you Bruins fans! I hope you like the look!

It's official!

I've started a compilation of teams from you, my awesome fans, who have left comments about what colors you'd like to see done as a makeup look. So, raiding my extensive collection of colors- I'll be putting some fabulous looks together for you!!! If you'd like to see your own team done, click here to leave a comment with your team and their colors. I'll be going through the requests as they're left- so if you plan on keeping me busy, this will do it. LOL




First up to kick us off is a Hockey Team. (Yay! Go hockey! I love it almost as much as Football!)
This entire idea was kicked off and inspired by Cindy B who requested a look to wear to a game. In turn, that got the wheels in my head spinning and I figured.... Why not?! Everyone leave your team and colors!


I digress. Sorry, I'm easily distractible. I'm sure you're used to it by now, right?


Back on track. The Montreal Canadiens are the first team up on the table. Or if you want to get technically correct, will soon be out on the ice! Ha ha ha! To put together this look, I used three different shadow colors for my eyes, and one as an eyeliner darkener. Royal Bleu, Red and White! This is what resulted:






I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial- I have a feeling my kittens are gonna be crawling everywhere soon.... Looking forward to that considering they're so dang cute! They were all over my legs during the filming of this video! Hope you don't mind!



What's on my face:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream
E.L.F. Complexion Perfection
E.L.F. Concealer
Physician's Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation

Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow Colors:
Vanilla Birthday Cake
Saffron
Blueberry
Midnight


Finishing the Eyes:
Wet 'N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black and White
WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black

On my lips I'm wearing E.L.F. Luscious Liquid Lupstick in Caramel Candy for a little shine- and maximum moisturizing. It's awesome!


I hope you all enjoy, and I'll be seeing you with the next video shortly!
