Cleopatra~

I recently stopped by Rite Aid and OH MY GOSH. I fell upon some halloween lashes in the beauty isle so of course, I got a few. These two caught my eye!

Using the cleopatra ones, this is the look I came up with. 

I'm just wearing a black turtle neck shirt with a thrifted necklace. If you google Cleopatra or any type of Egyptian look, you always see a woman with straight, usually shoulder length, black hair. I decided to just put my hair up in a high bun because as you all know, I'm on a healthy hair journey so I won't touch the evil hot sticks of death! Haha. And YES, I'm just posing in my room because it was getting late to take pictures in great lighting but hey, when creativity hits you, you just go with it. I still think it looks good all together.

This was fun to create and you can definitely downplay it with toned down eyebrows, liner and less dramatic lashes for a fun party look! 

Hope you guys have a great day!

Spooky Eyes! | Eyelid Art

A couple days ago, I posted on Instagram a video/pic collage of my eye. On said eye was my first attempt at what I like to call "eye art." Eye art has been quite a trend lately! I've been seeing pictures from MUA's and makeup lovers all over instagram! I've been dying to try this out so I set up shop and put in work! Halloween is coming up so naturally, I based my first look off of a spooky haunted house type of theme. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, although I could definitely use more practice. But hey, practice makes perfect! If you want to see that vid, just click on my Instagram name in the sidebar (:

What are your thoughts on eye art? Do you love it? Hate it? Let me know!

Love & Rockets,
