Old Hollywood Makeup/hair Look

This look is from a couple weeks ago. We had the opportunity to go to a 1940's theme Dinner Theatre Murder Mystery and took it, even though it was on a Thursday night. :-) Was a lot of fun!

I don't remember what eyeshadows I applied where, I just know that I used my 88 shimmer palette to create the look.

I used my jumbo hair curlers rolling them under, to get the look. http://www.jumbocurlers.com/shop.html

Contest Goodies I won + Burgundy Makeup look with Darling Girl Cosmetics

For those of you who did not know, Cinnamon Candies hosted a Beauty Blog Award on her blog for different categories (Best Overall Beauty Blog, Best Indie Make Up Company, Best Swatches, Best Reviews and Best EOTD, FOTD Blog).




I was nominated for Best Overall Beauty Blog and thanks to your votes, I won! This was a huge surprise for me as I never enter giveaways. The reason being is I've been so fortunate to work with 3 makeup companies that supply me with tons of makeup products as payment for doing swatches for their websites. So I feel it would be wrong of me to enter giveaways trying to win things that I really believe someone else deserves to win much more than I do. I appreciate seeing other gals who need/want makeup much more than I do win some awesome goodies. The difference with this contest was that I was voted by others and I did not enter myself. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me. I'd also like to thank Cinnamon Candies for hosting the Contest and the companies that provided the prizes! You guys are awesome!

I was late on receiving my prizes because I don't check my PO box very often, which is my fault. Better late than never tho right?

What I absolutely LOVE about the prizes is that they are all from companies I have never tried. So it was nice to get a hold of something new to try out for myself. I've heard so many good things about these companies from so many of you.

Here's what I got:

There was also a congratulations note included but I forgot to add it for the picture.

Instead of doing swatches, I decided to do some makeup looks with all of these items. Here's the first look I did using Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadows and Dark Heart Designs lipgloss. This is a very toned down look for me. :-)
