Mint Chocolate Chip look and 2nd day at Sephora!!!

Hey ladies! SO today was my second day at Sephora! :) YAAAAAY!!! It was really fun although my feet were killing me by the end of my shift! Not wearing heals to work again lol.... just flats I guess. I think I have finally found the retail job that fits my personality perfectly :) Sephora is like girl heaven.... so I enjoy being there thoroughly. Anyway this is my look of the day. I used my ben nye palette as well as a couple of my mac eyeshadows. This is my 2nd attempt at applying false eye lashes, so I know they look a little messed up on the closeups, but hey what can I say, I'm trying :) I am pleased with how it came out. Let me know what you think! Click the photos to see the look better and thanks for looking!

Playing around with liner

Hey ladies :)

Long time since I have posted... I've been busy busy busy... but I have been practicing some different looks... I don't know why I didn't take photos of the looks I have done recently (dumb me) but I will get back to posting my looks of the day and what not. I just had an interview to work at Sephora part time over the holiday season, so hopefully I get it! :) I ordered soooooo much makeup this past month, I think I may have literally like tripled my makeup stash! I'll be doing swatches and reviews soon of everything I have done... But for right now, I just wanted to post photos of this look I did just playing around :)
