Happy Fourth of July!!
I had the
brilliant idea to show you guys my patriotic makeup. The girl that wears muted browns pulled
out all the red, white and blue she could find and this is what she came up
with. Not surprisingly I have a buttload (Is that one word or two? Spell check
isn't helping.) of nail polish that fits the bill. But, I don't
have much makeup that fits the color scheme.
Let's
start with the nail polish, shall we? I picked out 6 of the 9 TRUE red, white
and blue that I have because off white, beige, silver, fuchsia, pink,
turquoise, teal...you get the picture -- those colors aren't true red, white
and blue. My Wet n Wild collection of
course, boasts true colors, Rebel In Love, Break The Ice and Blue Visionary. My
sparkly red is a Sephora by OPI in Be-Cause I Said So, my white is Klean Kolors
in White and my sparkly blue is Orly nail polish in Macabre Masquerade. When I
had gel nails, I'd get American tip French Manicures (which means it isn't white
white on the tips) I used both of the white colors. I have to admit I haven't
used them since then. And, during the holidays, I rock the reds on my tootsies.
I haven't used the WnW Blue Visionary
but I did use the Orly Macabre Masquerade on my party nail.
You
see 2 eyeshadow pans. I don't wear blue shadow that often. In fact I've only
used the Cover Girl Sapphire Sparkle single twice -- once when I was going out
to an evening event and I was wearing a blue dress and the second time when I
dressed as Cleopatra for a murder mystery game (don't laugh -- if you haven't
played a murder mystery game you need to rethink your priorities in life! We go
all out, food, prizes, I mean it's ridiculous!). The other two blues are in my
WnW 6 pans in Pride. I haven't worn them. The 2 whites in the same 6 pan have
been used to blend only.
I have a
"close to red" lip liner by Rimmel London in Hot Spark and 1 blue eye
liner, Jordana Easyliner in Denim Blue. After taking this picture I woke up from my fog and realized that Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on in
Sabbath is not blue. Sorry!
And near
and dear to my heart are my lippies. All of them are red. I don't own a blue
lipstick and I couldn't find my iridescent lip gloss which might have passed
for white. I have two Revlon Super Lustrous glosses -- one in Fatal Apple and
one in Kiss Me Coral. I also have a Revlon Colorburst in Strawberry. And my
lipstick is a Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Cherry Tart. No, Revlon did not
sponsor the lip portion of this post.
God Bless
America.
No,
seriously, I wanted to put a bit of patriotism in my blog, the makeup way but I
also wanted to take a minute to say Happy Birthday America!!
How much
red, white & blue do you have in your makeup collection?
