I wasn't overly impressed with this Cockatoo part of the collection, but actually it consists of my go-to colors like shimmery pink and greys.
The finished look is something I would wear for a first date.
(Of course, I would wear my hair down and flaunt it, not a rigid bun like this. Today was just a work day, though. ;p)
Lighter colored contacts make me look a little bitchy, don't you think?
I am wearing NEO COSMO Princess Eyes in Purple Violet. ;-/
makeup products used for this look
Revlon PhotoReady liquid 003 Shell
L'Oreal Project Runway Collection Charming Cockatoo's Gaze & Blush
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pursuit
L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering liner in Black
Maybelline Illegal Length wp mascara
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Candle Light
Also, I made a sock bun today!
My hair is pretty long but layered so making big bun was never easy.
(I have a sock in my hair)
The sock donut I made is not that big since it was my first one, but I want to make a couple more in different sizes!
You might see me wearing super big onion hair very soon. :)
Hi Lena! I love this look on you. It doesn't look bitchy to me but rather sophisticated! Growing out my hair after my disaster with split ends. Hoping to do a nice big bun soon!
ReplyDeleteWow. Your eyes are so pretty. Wish I could tolerate contacts.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous. I really like your hair and makeup. I haven't heard of this collection, thanks so much for sharing

ReplyDeleteLove the bun! The soft smokey look is really pretty, definitely perfect for a first date!
ReplyDeletethanks, Stacey.
ReplyDeletesmokey eyes are low maintenance compared to bright lips. ;)
thank you, Oreloena :D
ReplyDeletei am so late to the party. i didn't know people use bun enhancers(?) like this. i just thought they all have lots of hair.
i've actually bought one from the store but returned it sinc i like my sock bun better. :)
thanks, Kim! :)
ReplyDeletei like the contacts but i don't think i'd repurchase this once expired. i've found more natural looking light colored ones.
you spend and you learn. ;p
aww thanks, Katherine. (and good to have you back! ^-^)
ReplyDeletethank you. :)
ReplyDeleteyou have a very nice blog yourself. pleasure is mine. ^-^
thank you, Pam. :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Jas :)
ReplyDeletei wanted to go with super sultry then i always stop cause too much makeup scares myself. lol
thank you, Fanny. you are very sweet! :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Donna :)
ReplyDeletei want a bigger bun! lol
thanks, Chloe. :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Janet. :)
ReplyDeletechoosing makeup colors for my "unnatural eye colors" are always challenging. lol
thank you, Honey. :)
ReplyDeletei am glad you like it. :)
ReplyDeletethis collection wasn't a big hit or anything. i am just glad to grab them on sale since i WAS curious when they came out. ;p
thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, sometimes wearing contacts and makeup could be too much for our poor eyes.
thank you, Naomi :)
ReplyDeletei am growing my hair a little longer as well. i am so itching to get it trimmed, though.
Wow, absolutely gorgeous! you have such amazing skin!
ReplyDeleteI love your contact lens! And your skin is super smooth *w*, your eye make up is really nice 。◕‿◕。
ReplyDeleteI'm always for looking bitchy, but that's just me. hahaha. I think the contacts look lovely! and I really love pink + grey together.
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you! I think you can get away with your lenses too, because your skintone is light and leans cool. On me for example they'll look REALLY weird!
ReplyDeletewow, your sock bun came out nicer than the tutorial one too! I used to do this when I was in high school and I wanted to hide my perm. Yes, I got a perm in high school, don't ask me why!
ReplyDeleteI love this eye make-up. Have a great weekend my dear!
Pretty Pretty! love the smokey eye look.

Love your eye make up :)
ReplyDeleteGoes great with your eye color hun!
lol super big onion hair! The bun looks really pretty on you! I've never tried using a sock before to get that big bun look.
ReplyDeleteI love the smokey eye too - your eyes look especially alluring with the dark shadows and colored lens :D
Absolutely gorgeous look,
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend sweets,
axox
Can I just say when I read sock bun I laughed as that was exactly what I was experimenting with before my major event this week. I was going for a Carrie bun!
ReplyDeleteLoving the eye makeup!
x.o.x.o
i wanna do this look during events..
ReplyDeletepls teach me.. when that time come
of course, Camilla :)
ReplyDeletebut my makeup is usually so simple there is not much to teach. i am planning to do a tutorial for asian eyes soon. :)
heh heh i love carrie bun! it is huge!
ReplyDeletei think my hair is too straight and i feel i need to tease it a bit to creat a bigger bun. ;p
thank you. ;)
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend!
i even bought one from store but i think i like my sock donut better. lol
ReplyDeletei am glad the combo worked out. ;p
whenever i wear this pair, peopl stare. i have to think twice. lol
aww thank you, Banny :D
ReplyDeletethank you, Mary! ;)
ReplyDeletethank you, Thu :)
ReplyDeletei don't think you'd need any of enhancement like this for big bun. your natural hair would just do, right?
you have gorgeous hair!
thank you, Sunny :)
ReplyDeletemost of lenses are designed to work with dark eyes, i am sure they will look good on you as well.
i don't mind blue or grey (obvious) colors but i think i prefer more delicate design. :)
haha thank you, Laura :D
ReplyDeletei usually try to look sweet or something in front of camera but i guess camera doesn't lie? lol
aww thank you.
ReplyDeleteit is mostly the strong lighting, though. heh heh
have a nice weekend! :)
thanks, Penelope. :)
ReplyDeletepurchasing lighting set is so worth it since it makes my skin look better in pictures.
much better than buying a face cream. lol
SO SO pretty.. I don't know if I can get the project runway here, but I have to try this look. So beautiful

This look is beautiful! It goes very well with the contacts too!
ReplyDeletethank you, Eugenia :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Mie :D
ReplyDeletei think any blue/grey shimmer eyeshadow would do, really.
to be honest, i could prolly dig out similar shades from my own stash. lol
Looks glamorous compared to my boring workday makeup lol. Great pairing with the contacts!
ReplyDeletethanks, Diana! :D
ReplyDeletemy daily makeup is quite simple actually. :)
You have such flawles skin! And i love you eye makeup!:)
ReplyDeletethanks Carla :)
ReplyDeletedo you have a blog or web space i can visit you? :)
Hi, yes i do! its www.carlacation.com !:)
ReplyDeletehey Carla :)
ReplyDeletethanks for leaving me your link.
i will see you there! :D
I really want to buy the Revlon PhotoReady liquid 003 Shell. Will it be good for a combination skin? I'm bit oily. :)
ReplyDeleteThe lens looks so beautiful on you. So Hot! :)
i have combination skin as well. i tend to get oily on my T-zone. i think photoready liquid is good for all around except for summer for me. i think it should work for you as well. there is a mouse version which seems to control oil better.
ReplyDeletethanks for your compliment! :)
you look lovely..a bit ice queen-y not bitchy!
ReplyDeletei wish i could do a sock bun..waiting for my hair to grow out..just too many layers in them
aww thanks, Debi :)
ReplyDeleteit makes me feel much better.
i think sock bun works easier for shorter hair, but layers are always a bit of hassle. i have the same problem. always need tons of bobby pins.
i swear they make the security alarm go off. (and my bra) ;p
You eye makeup just gets better and better. I love the contrast from your lenses to a smokey look.
ReplyDeletethank you, Feelo :D
ReplyDeletei'd still want to try super dark mono tone smokey with this contacts. ;)
So pretty, beautiful skin too!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the eyes to do this type of makeup :(
thank you, Estee :)
ReplyDeletemy eyes are very asian with small folds. i believe anyone could pull off similar look. :)
