My Sincerest Apologies

I know, I didn't do a blog post for you guys yesterday, and I've apparently spoiled you rotten with daily shenanigans, so I'm sorry for throwing a monkey wrench in your routine. 

But see, what had happened was, I had to wash my hair, right. Like, the month for my crochet braids was up and it was time to give some serious attention to my head, so makeup had to take a back seat for once! One day, just one day - get off my ass!

Anyway, I'm back. And I had some new makeup to play with, and a new hairstyle to deal with for the week, so I went sifting through my makeup folder again and unearthed this:

By one of my favorite makeup artists to recreate from, and I was like...I just got some of the new ColourPop Super Shock Eyeshadows what would match this, so why not? Here's my recreation

Along with some daylight pictures:

 Somewhat of a comparison shot:

And a video! This time posted on Photobucket, so hopefully it'll actually work.

Can you tell I was feeling this one??? Of course, it's not an exact recreation, but I thin I came decently close; at least in the same ballpark, I think. I loved it! And even though you can see all of my fat head with this hairstyle, you can also see all of my highlight, so that's a plus and a minus! Details!

I was going to rave some more about the beatness of my face, but I'm getting irritated with trying to sell this last LORAC palette, because everyone hates gold, for some reason. If you're interested in a LORAC palette, let me know! You'll be the only one lol okay I'm going to go buy a sandwich bye!
