Wearable Color for the Workplace

If you're like me, then you LOVE colorful shadows.  Also if your're like me you work in an office or some other place of business where you can't really express yourself the way you'd like with your makeup.  Fortunately my job isn't too strict & I do get away with a lot of looks that other places wouldn't allow, but I wanted to show you all two great ways to add color to your eyes without over doing it.

Queen of Blending Inspired

Hi lovely followers,
As always if you follow me on Instagram (@LexiFresh) then this look will look farmiliar to you.  I've been following the Queen of Blending on youtube for a few years & every look she pumps out is brilliant so I wanted to pay homage to her talent & put together a look inspired by one of her latest videos.  Click Here to check out the vid.

Rihanna "Diamonds" Inspired

Hi lovies,
I don't know if I've publicly announced this yet, but I am in LOVE with Rihanna, so when I heard her new song premier this week I had to do a look inspired by it.

Navy

I read a while ago that Navy is one of this Fall's hot colors & since I don't really like how it looks on me I thought I'd force myself to try it. Here's my look

Bejeweled

Hi my lovely follower, 
Just wanted to share a quick look I created a few weeks ago.  If you follow me on instagram you're probably bored with my blog because my looks go up there weeks before they make it here lol.  This isn't a full face look because it was a work day & as you know I don't wear much besides shadow & liners to work.

Natural light

LOTD With Some Drama

A few weeks ago I created this look of the day:

I really loved it, it was super plain, but still really pretty at the same time.  I used MAC's Orb on the lid & kid & cork int the crease, NYC liquid liner & Maybelline On-by-one mascara & finished off the look with Elf's natural lash kit.

Blast from the Past: There's Fire in Her Eyes

Hi guys, 
I'm super excited about this post because it is my first time posting as a guest blogger.  I submitted this look to Sahily of Pretty in Pigment for her "Blast from the Past" series she has going this month.  A few weeks ago I'd been looking through old looks I did a few years back and thought "what in the world was I thinking" & coincidentally Pretty in Pigment had the same idea.


Here is the original look:

There're just too many things wrong with this execution I don't even know where to being lol

Wing-Man: Robin Inspired

I wanted to add one more look to my mini Batman series (maybe I'll add more, who knows) & thought Robin would be a good addition.  He's Batmans wing-man & I took the idea literally when I created my cosmetic adaptation of Robin.  
Here's the look:

Batman Inspired

Here's another look for my mini Batman Series.  Don't go getting all excited for an over the top look.  I wore this the day I went to see Dark Knight Rises, but I had class before so I had to keep it low profile.
This is the simple look I came up with:

See, nothing too cray cray. Simple with a subtle pop of color,

Royalty

This is another look I put together rockin' another pair or Kiwiberry1's lenses that I reviewed in my last post.  I also submitted this look to BH Cosmetics' summer extravaganza contest so I have my fingers crossed! 

Cotton Candy

Hi everybody & welcome new followers, 

I was feeling extra weird after I got my contacts from Kiwiberry1 & I wanted to do something out of the ordinary for me.  
I came up with this doll-eyed look using the purple lenses I reviewed last week:

NY Mets

Three weeks ago I went to a Mets game with a few friends & I wanted to do a look inspired by my guys; though it is hard being their fan most of the time lol.
This was my look:

Blue & Copper using MAC Pigments

Yippie!!!!

I have FINALLY caught up with all my old looks & we're on to newer & better things!  I got anxiety every time I opened my folder & saw those looks there that still had not been published, but they have been & its over! Are you excited, cause I am!!  

OK granted, this look is from last month, but it isn't from April or may lol.  I've used MAC pigments before & I really like them, but to use loose shadows on a day-to-day is really annoying for me.  I don't have much time to get ready in the morning & I still make a mess with them.  So, since I've had my teal pigment for a while now, I wanted to created a look using mostly MAC pigments.  

**I'm sorry this isn't a full-face look & I'm even more sorry for my fuzzy brows lol**

Fresh Summer Look

Hey everyone, 
This look is a few weeks old, just like the last.  But first, last week I was cleaning out my phone & deleted my blog photo album so I am away that most of my older posts are missing pictures.  Big thanks to Nikki from MakeupJunkie for pointing that out to me. I am in the process of replacing all the images, but the older ones are spread out between 3 computers & I'm having some trouble tracking them down so please bare with me. 

MUG weekly Challenge: Color Block (teal, yellow & purple)

So I had a look prepared for this post, but first I decided to check out the winners of this weeks MUG weekly challenge & guess who was this weeks random winner!?  Yours truly!!!!!

Lime Crime Snow White Inspired Contest: Evil Queen

       Hey everyone!

I was reading through my blog subscriptions at work yesterday like I do every morning & I discovered that Lime Crime was hosting a makeup contest inspired by Snow White.  I was super excited because I’ve always wanted to try LC products, but they are WAY too overpriced for me, so I love that I have the opportunity to try and compete for some.  This is going to be a super long post (both text & pics) so you may just want to skim through the pics, but if you want to see step-by-step of the eye makeup keep reading!

       The look I came up with was inspired by the Disney version of the Evil Queen because I’ve really been diggin’ purple lately.  Before I actually pulled out my cosmetics, I decided to come up with a design on a face chart & this is what I created:

Amber Rose Inspired Look

As some of you might already know, themakeupbee.com is hosting yet another makeup contest & this time it is a celebrity inspired one.  Obviously as my titled so clearly puts it, I entered the contest with an Amber Rose inspired look. 

If you’ve been following my for the past couple posts you know I just got my Sugarpill palettes—not the heartbreaker on sadly—and I’ve been obsessed with using those bold colors as much as possible, so I chose the following look to recreate.
