After I got my hair cut yesterday, I decided to have some fun coloring and bougth a highlight kit (L’Oreal’s Frost and Glow Kit) and gave myself peekaboo gold highlights. I separated 1-inch sections of hair with foil and applied the mixture and wrapped it up with foil. It was not as messy as I thought it would be..I did most of it in my dorm room! The color turned out all right, but I think I’ll be dying my hair black again soon. What do you think?

There was A LOT of mixure. I only used about 1/30 of the tub.

Waiting with my foils in:

The result:

I put in some Bed Head Superstar Thick Massive Hair lotion in. I love that stuff for a messy do.

I think I got the look I was going for, so I’m happy with my diy job.

Below is a subtle-ish tropical look I did with Cover Girl’s eyeshadow quad in Tropical. I want to pick up a Shadow Insurance or other shadow primer; they really make colors pop. The lightness of the colors makes this one a bit more wearable for people who are a little color-shy like myself.

At Sephora, I picked up Too-Faced Smurfy-Eyed Liquid liner in the white glitter. It also comes in royal blue. They have an adorable highlighter powder in the shape of a smurfette, complete with colors that blend into a nice neutral pearly beige great for brows and cheekbones.

I also got Benefit’s Georgia Peach blush ($28), which is very subtle on my skin and almost not noticeable. It has a yummy subtle scent. I should have gotten Coralist or Dallas instead. Coralist is a gorgeous bright shade that goes well with olive or darker skin tones.

I’ve been wanting to try this for a while: Make Up Forever’s HD Powder. The powder and brush duo cost around $70, but is well worth it. The brush is made of very dense, soft as butter bristles (I think they may be real fur), and the powder if fine and makes skin deflect light very evenly and with a kind of angelic glow. The white powder disappeared on my tan skin. I love this! The jar is pretty large, too, larger than Bare Minerals foundation jars.

Lastly, I picked up Sephora’s stippling brush ($35). I love this for applying liquid foundations or mineral powders. It picks up just the right amount so you never cake on makeup. It’s a very soft synthetic brush.

Sorry for the nasty manicure! I need to redo my nails, which is what I’m going to do now
