New job

I started a new job this week so I'm sorry I haven't posted yet this week. As soon as I start my regular schedule I should be able to post more often during the week. As always thank you for reading this blog. Well wishes to all!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow of the Day

Today I used only the Urban Decay Face Case. I am very pleased with the overall look I achieved.


I started with my primer followed by Polyester Bride under the brow and on the tear duct area.
Then I applied Midnight Cowboy on the lid and into the crease. I followed with Smog and blended.
I then used a small amount of Shotgun in the center of the lid to blend all colors together.

I finished with HIP black creme liner on the upper lash line and used a black pencil on the bottom lash line. I used a pencil brush to blend the pencil liner and create a more smoky look on the bottom lash line.
I applied CoverGirl VolumeExact mascara after curling my lashes. I hope you enjoy this look!

Eyeshadow of the Day!!

For the look today I started with primer and Mary Kay Moonstone on the entire lid. Then I used the green color in L.A. Colors palette "Tease" from the inner corner to the middle of the lid. I also applied some green to the lower inner lash line.

I followed that with the blue color from the same palette. I started from the outer corner and worked my way in until I met the green and blended them together.

I touched up the Moonstone and blended to create a more seamless look. I lined the upper and lower lash with Rimmel precision liner in Azure Shimmer.

I finished off the look by curling my lashes and applying CoverGirl VolumeExact in Black to the upper lashes.

I hope you enjoyed this look and thank you for reading this post. Remember comments/e-mails welcome at acaseofcosmeticevents@gmail.com !!

L.A. Colors

These are the colors I will be working with for my eyeshadow of the day. Wish me luck!

Eyeshadow of the Day

Today's eyeshadow of the day is not a typical look for me but I really wanted to try the HIP products I purchased. I started with Mary Kay primer followed by Mary Kay eyeshadow in Moonstone.

I then used HIP cream eyeliner in Black. This is the first time I have used a cream/gel liner so I fudged a few times. The good news is the liner doesn't wear off easily. The bad news it didn't wipe off easily when I made a mistake.

I applied HIP Pure Pigment Shadow Stick. This item was 75% off at CVS and I think I know why. The stick was very dry. I barely started using it and a big chunk crumbled off of it. I don't know if it is supposed to be this dry but I didn't like it very much. If the shadow stick was a little softer/creamier, not sure how to describe it, I would like this product a whole lot more.

To finish off the look I touched up my liner on the upper lash line and lined my lower lash line with a black pencil liner. I'm not sure exactly which one I used but I know I got it at Sally Beauty Supply. I also applied CoverGirl VolumeExact to my eyelashes. That the look for today. I have a bunch of other things to show you in the days to come.

I bought new products!

I went on a little beauty haul today at the local discount/drugstores. Over the next few days I will do an eyeshadow of the day with one or two of the products in each look. There is one brand I have never heard of so if you have any opinion on L.A. Colors please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks. The eyeshadow of the day is coming up later today!

Eyeshadow of the Day

Many blogs offer a look of the day. I am going to change that up a little with an eyeshadow of the day. Today's eyeshadow of the day is very simple and subdued. I don't have the best lighting so I hope the photos are able to capture the look well enough.

I started with Mary Kay eye primer followed by Urban Decay eyeshadow in Polyester Bride which was applied to the whole lid. I then used Urban Decay Shotgun eyeshadow on the lid up to the crease. I then applied Jane black eyeliner on both the upper and lower lash line. I topped it off with CoverGirl VolumeExact in Very Black.
