SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #5

Hello, my Pretties!

Today I bring to you the final installment in my BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition Series.  I decided to end it at a handful of looks because I could go on forever with this palette.  Five looks gives you an idea of the looks that can be created with the eyeshadows contained in this palette.

My four previous looks can be found here:
Summer Sunset
Sunny with a Chance of Rain
Heavy Metal Pink
Sweet Peaches!

Now, the main reason I wanted a BH 120 was because I wanted to do a rainbow eye.  I have done a rainbow eye before using this palette but I haven't yet blogged that look.  Today I decided to do my next favorite eye look after a rainbow eye look and that's a rainbow liner eye look!

What shall I call this look?  Hmm...  Skinny Rainbow??  Skinbow???  LOL.

What do you think of my Skinbow?  Do you like?

I used a skin tone eyeshadow on my lid, something a bit deeper for the crease and a shimmery champagne for my brow bone so my rainbow would be sure to stand out!

Thanks for following me through this BH Cosmetics 120 series.  I do hope you have enjoyed the looks that I created for you.  Will you be trying any of them?  I sure do hope so!

Now time to come up with a new series!

SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #4

Hello, my Pretties!

Continuing with my BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition Series, I have Look #4 for you today.  I've done a bright eyed look, a smoky look, and now I've done a neutral look.  The possibilities with this palette are endless!

You can find the other three looks here:
Summer Sunset
Sunny with a Chance of Rain
Heavy Metal Pink

I wore this look the other night when I had a date night with the sweet-tart.  I was in the mood for something simple and pretty basic.  He usually sees me in bright eye makeup so I thought this would be a sweet change for his eyes.

I used some of the lightest eyeshadows in this palette.  I stayed in the neutral zone with creams, light brown and for a peek of color, I chose peach.  This look I call...Sweet Peaches!

I just had to share these next two photos with you.  I was amazed at how long and full my lashes looked!  LOL.  These are my natural lashes with mascara, of course.  I thought they almost looked like falsies!  I don't wear falsies.  I have nothing against them, I love how they look but...I am ashamed to admit, I cannot apply them.  Boooo....  Any how, I thought my lashes looked flirty for once!



So far, which look is your favorite in this series?

SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #3

Hello, my Pretties!

Another day, another makeup look created using BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition.  This will be my third look in this series.

You can find Looks 1 and 2 here:
SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #1
SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #2

I call this look Heavy Metal Pink.  It's composed mainly of some gunmetal grays and a pop of hot pink.

This eye look was a little bit different that most of my others I have done.  I concentrated the pop of color in the center of my lid.  I kept it dark in the inner and outer corners of my eyelids.  Along the lower lash line I added a swipe of shimmery green shadow just to add some contrast to the dark grays.

I guess this is verging on the smoky lines a bit, you might say.  Smoky with some added color.

What do you Pretties think about this one?  Is it hot or not??

SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #2

Hello, my Pretties!

I am back from my little impromptu family vacation!  I've missed you all terribly.  I tried blogging from the hotel but it just wasn't working so I gave up.  It was a nice, much needed little getaway with the sweet-tart and our girls.  I might do a blog post on our little trip just for fun.

Today I have another look using the BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd Edition.  I've already done one look in this series which you can find HERE.  I called it Summer Sunset.  I have been seeing a lot of sunsets around here lately fashioned with pinks and purples and of course, oranges.

This look I titled, Sunny with a Chance of Rain.  It is the opposite of my Summer Sunset. This look is primarily done with yellow, my sunshine, and some grays, my rain clouds.

So there you go!  A very simple look that looks pretty good.  I used yellow, shimmery white, gray and black.  This is a color combo I have never used before.  That's the beauty of this 120, you have so many color choices, any combo is possible!

SERIES: BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Look #1

Hello, my Pretties!

I don't know if y'all remember me mentioning that I received some BH Cosmetics 120 Palettes for my Christmas gift from the sweet-tart but I did.  He gifted me the 120 eyeshadow palettes, Editions 1-4.  I haven't used all of them yet.  I first tried the 2nd Edition and I have been using it ever since.  So many colors to choose from!

Take a look for yourself!  I grabbed these photos off the http://www.bhcosmetics.com website.

I love these palettes!  There are still so many to collect!  And I will collect them all!

So...what do y'all think of this look?  It's cute right?  Looks something like a Summer Sunset.  Maybe that should be the name of this look.  Throw some names at me!  What would you call this look?

Oh yeah, by the way, the sweet-tart is going to go work in Corpus Christi, TX (which is about 3 hours from where we live) for five days.  We are tagging along for the fun of it!  LOL.  Are you kidding, we can't be away from each other for that long!  So, just letting you guys know that I might be M.I.A. for a while.  But nothing like last time.  I won't disappear for months!  I'll be back soon.  I'll try to be on Twitter or Facebook so follow me so we can keep in touch!

Just Another Mani Monday: Rimmel London Pulsating

Hello, my Pretties!

On June 25th, I posted my Just Another Mani Monday post featuring Rimmel London's Camouflage.  You can see that post HERE.  It was a nail polish I bought at Kmart for only 38 cents!  I also mentioned that I had purchased a couple more.  Today's featured polish is one I picked up that day too.

Meet Rimmel London 60 Seconds Nail Polish in 619 Pulsating.




The only thing I love more than the color is the price!

After 2 coats.

What a hot color for summer!  I absolutely love it.  I love the hot pinkness of it all and the purple hint you get in there is a delightful bonus.  It's pretty, it's fun, it's sexy.  It also looks great on toes!

I cannot get enough of the fact that it dries in 60 seconds.  Why can't all nail polishes do that!  I'd paint my nails a lot more often, I'm telling you.

What do you, Pretties, think?  Cute, right?
