Face of the Day (FOTD)

I have decided to start doing a FOTD or Face of the Day to try to start blogging daily and also to catalogue (for myself and others) the fact that I DO wear makeup each and every day even though some people think that I do not *grumbles menacingly*. We'll show them, my lovelies!! *cackles* 

Today was an I-got-home-from-my-mom's-and-decided-I-am-not-going-anywhere-else-so-let's-play-with-my-new-Naked-2-palette kind of day. I used the color Pistol ( a pretty greyish brown) on top of my Tough as Taupe Maybelline 24 Color Tattoo eyeshadow, a bit of Blackout (matte black) in the crease, Bootycall as a highlight, Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara, and Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliner in Perversion.  I love the names that Urban Decay assigns their products, dont you? I will be doing a full review of the Naked 2 Palette as soon as I have had time to use all the colors and decide how I like them.

To be honest, I was not sure how I would like this look but it has definitely grown on me as the day has progressed. Also, I understand this is not a true FOTD but I had no actual face makeup on so all you get is the eyeballs!! We have a 100% chance of seeing actual face tomorrow since it's a workday lol. Actually the next 9 days will be workdays *grrrrr* but there is nothing to be done about that. 

Pook's Top 2 Mascaras

So I was really trying to turn this post into a "Pook's Top Holy Grail Mascara!" but I just couldn't pick between these 2 mascaras because I honestly love them both and wear them all the time. I am going to start off with the one I bought first which is (let me just say that this is not a Maybelline only blog!lol I promise to blog about other brands I promise you) Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Flared (retails for $7.49). I absolutely love this mascara! First off I need to say that it is very tough to judge a mascara until you have opened it and been using it for about 2 weeks or so. I actually read about this on nouveaucheap's blog and she is absolutely right, something about having the formula exposed to air ages it and just makes it better. Having said that, Falsies Flared ages wonderfully and is just perfect after about a week.

One of the things I love the most about this mascara is that it gives you amazing volume without glooping (is that even a word?) product everywhere and making a huge mess. Who wants to spend time getting their eyeshadow perfect only to put on their mascara and ruin everything? Not I! Also, Falsies Flared is extremely buildable, it looks great whether you use one coat or 4 coats, whether you're going for a my-eyelashes-only-better look or a omg-are-those-real?!? look.

My second favorite mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara ($20 for full-size tube on urbandecay.com). I got a travel-size tube with the Book of Shadows IV I bought from urbandecay.com on Black Friday. Do you believe in love at first sight? I put this mascara on and it was like fireworks, stars, and glitter exploded all over my face! wait, that sounds painful.... anyway, you get the idea! It was magical. I don't have to even curl my eyelashes when I put it on. Not only does it curl your eyelashes for you but your eyelashes will stay curled ALL DAY. This mascara is also super buildable.
