Gotham Beauty Launch Party

This Thursday night was super busy for me and my buddy Gabi. We ran from Saks Fifth Ave to SoHo drenched in that spontaneous NYC Spring rain to make it to Gotham Beauty's launch party.

The event was AWESOME to say the least. It was nice and cozy, and you felt like you knew everyone. Gotham really knows how to throw a party; even their founder was pushing us to the bar! Such a blast! Can't wait to see what's next up their sleeve!



The venue was so cute, and natural feeling.
We wanted to party as soon as we came in the door!



The bar area (where we spent too much time!)
How cute is their logo?!



  





With my friend Gabi and a new friend, celebrating
Gotham Beauty all night!

Gabi and I. Thank you GuestofAGuest for

Effy Stonem Tutorial

So I'm taking my Skins UK obsession to a new level and it's starting with an Effy Stonem makeup look. Here's what I did to master her total badassery:



First, apply your primer as usual. Then pat on a sparkly dark grey.





With a fluffy brush, swipe some black eyeshadow a little above the crease in a windshield wiper motion.

Line your eyes all around with a black pencil. Make it dark. You're a creature of the night.
Also, put some white eyeshadow by your tearduct and brow bone.

Looking up into a mirror, apply some glitter eyeliner close to your tearduct to give an unexpected twist.

Voila!!! You've got eye that shoot daggers!

Add some blush, a pink lipstick, and selfconfidence, and you're ready for parties, drugs, and underage sex.
.....kiddinggg!

Illamasqua: Toxic Nature

IDK if you've heard, but Illamasqua is pretty cool. Their Toxic Nature collection for Spring has left me drooling over a few things:

First,

This pic for the collection is too cute. If you really wanted to mimic some aspects, I'd go with OPI's "Who the Shrek Are You?" for nails, also check out Manic Panic for some hair dye, if you really want.

Second,

There's the collection (sans eyeshadows because they suck). The nailpolishes are very cute, the green being already done by OPI, and the gold pretty common, the creamsicle color is the one I'm dying over to finally get my half-moon mani done. (Post if I ever get my hands on it)
The lipglosses are WORTH it. I got mine for $7 , because I'm special, but theyre usually $20-ish. The pigmentation is awesome, especially if you're not a lipstick chick. I noticed the lipglosses are kinda meant to compliment the lipstick, but I'm not into that layering game so I didn't even try it out.

Orange lipstick is a big trend for Spring, and even though you may look like you've had too many Cheetos if done wrong, some girls can pull it off. The collection's orangey color worked great on my olive, and Lina Monroe's fair skintones. Though, above $20 isn't worth it for me :/

Really, I only recommend the creamsicle nailpolish and the glosses.... And riotous hot pink hair.
