Build A Look #1: Backlit Beauty

Apparently, when book-learning goes up for me, photography skill goes way, way down. I guess I'll just have to call this week's Build-A-Look "Backlit Beauty" because I can't seem to take a decent picture for the life of me today!

So here it is...Backlit Beauty includes the following products:
Dior DiorSkin Nude Foundation in 010 Ivory
Dior DiorSkin Nude Concealer in 001 Ivory
Lotus Bio-Mineral Cream-Powder Blush in Apricot
Dior DiorShow Brow Styler in Universal Brown
Lotus Certified Organic Eyeshadow Palette in Deluxe
Aveda Eye Definer Pencil in 910 Sepia
Kirkland Signature Lash Defining Mascara in Black
Aveda Lipstick in Mandarin

This week's gonna be a big one at Aveda Institute Columbus: we have a special treat, a MAC Cosmetics presentation of two hours tomorrow, for starters. We are also  learning anatomy this week, so I'll be pretty busy with flashcards, diagrams, and homework (or rather homeplay).

How's your week looking? Anyone in favor of me extending this week's posts in order to get my Giveaway together? I know I haven't done review posts of Lotus yet, but so far from using the products I got myself, I know you're gonna want 'em--and love 'em. All in favor, say GIVEAWAY!

A Winter Look for A Winter Day- Face of the Day 2.3.2011

Uh boy, I've been awake since Sir Sparks-A-Lot started yowling for tummy rubs at 7:30 (yeah, AM, in the morn, at/before dawn). On a brighter note, this means I'm getting a lot done, a few bits of e.l.f. week are well squared away. Huzzah! But for today, you'll have to settle for a lovely neutral but strong lip.

Face of the Day 1.31.2011- Smoky Fun

e.l.f. blush, shadow, and gloss

Oh, man, is it the end of January already?! I feel like the laziest bum alive, and as though I have done nothing to better myself in this new year...well, I started a blog...big whoop! I think just so that I don't feel like a big-ol'-lard butt that I am going to do a beginner yoga lesson on Netflix today. Gotta loose quite a bit of weight to stop my knee and back pain, ya know. Vigorous makeup application isn't gonna shed those pounds ladies, but for me neither is inhaling a huge carton of Whoopers at night! Oops.

How's everyone's week looking? Mine is going to be busy busy busy with e.l.f. week right around the corner, but I'm so excited I'm starting already by putting on my best e.l.f. faces (or just having fun with stuff) to refresh my product memory and give you all the best details possible. I am tired though, and haven't been sleeping so good...probably why I overdid the makeup this morning in an attempt to pick up the neuron-fire. Alas, no luck, so today's official posts are gonna be relaxed so I can keep up preparations for this and next week. Keep on chugging!!! (Caffeine, that is.)
