Mary Poppin Pink

Blouse:
    Unknown Brand
    Size: Around a 10
    Vintage

    I don't know how old this blouse is but it's at least pre-1990's. I love the pretty blouses from the 70's but so many of them where made with polyester. Ugh! Lately I have been trying to get some cotton blouses in my closet. However this one is cotton and belonged to my mom.
    I have also worn this blouse in the other following looks...
School Girl Nostalgia
Changing Decades 

Jacket:

    No Boundaries
    Size: M juniors 7/9
    RN# 76290

  Another piece I've had quite a while. Never thought to match it with this skirt but they may be because pairing different patterns together was a do not until more recently.

Skirt:

    Lucy Perels
    Size 10
    RN# 58011
    Item #35874

    They got me on this one! I don't know what the brand is for this skirt! I bought it new at Sears +Sears  many-many years ago so I know it's nothing rare but I can't read the font they used on the tag!!! And typing in what it looks like isn't helping me much... anybody have a clue?
    I bought it around the early 2000's. It's a little large on me but wearable. Skirts from that time had some interesting cuts to them as does this one.

Talk about a perfect pink??? Try Wet n Wild Pinkerbelle!








Shoes

    Brand Unknown

   These have no brand markings on them! They were new too! Oh well, do they fit? That's what matters ;-)

School Girl Nostalgia

Dress:
   GEORGE ME (by Mark Eisen)
 Size 4/6
 Color Charcoal Heather Grey
 Style# GL4009
 Made in China
 Modern

   And yet another GEORGE ME (by Mark Eisen) Walmart's +Walmart.COM attempt to coming out with a higher in designer line. And again I found it on a clearance rack. I debated on buying it as it has a 1960's school girls look to it but after realizing I could wear a blouse under it I got it... which does nothing to make it look less like a 1960's first grader.... but I liked it!
    The fabric is modern though and comfortable to wear. Has a bit of stretch to it, aka Spandex. Not that it really needs any but it does make it more comfortable to relax in.

Blouse:

    No Label

    Size around a 8/10
    Vintage

    I also wore this blouse here: Changing Decades.
    This was my mom's blouse. I don't know how old it is but I know it's vintage. There were a lot of blouses in the 70's and 80's that were lovely but made of awful fabrics! Makes me sad cause I would wear them if they were like this one, made out of cotton or some sort of cotton blend.
    When I wore it here: Changing Decades. I didn't get a shot of the fancy work on the sleeves! Spring is coming so the arms are gonna start seeing daylight again.

Tights:

•     No Boundaries

    I have just started wearing tights again. I'm actually finding them comfortable!
    I'm quite tall so short dresses become mini's on me and I'm a classy girl, so... in comes the tights!

Jewelry:

• Costume Locket and Key Pin

    A real working locket with dark hot pink rhinestones and a small key charm dangle. I for some reason like the heart key concept in jewelry. I don't have a picture in this one but a swab of fabric sprayed with perfume. And if your wondering it's Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck. Yeah, the real stuff! I found a fair deal after Christmas and bought it. I'd been wanting it for a year!

 Accessories:

    Hat
    Brand Unknown
    Modern

   You don't find these hats in the south. This one came from a general store in NJ. I mean, how cute is this?!?!? Looks like a 1920's flapper hat!
   The round part in the center of the bow is real fur.

    Coat
    Rain Shedder by Ken Meritt   
    Vintage

    Wool mix lined all weather coat. My mom bought this for me.
   

Makeup:

   Face

ELF HD Blush "Headliner" *83231 +e.l.f. Cosmetics

    Not really using a foundation but did rub in some blush. "Headliner" is a very natural color on me.
Eyes

• Maybelline Define-a-lash +Maybelline NY Mx 
• Maybelline New York Expertwear Eye Shadow "Grey Matters" 80 +Maybelline New York DE 
• e.l.f. Essential Waterproof Eyeliner Pen Black

   Define-a-lash for the lashes. Got a Maybelline trend going on the eyes here. I have a old thing of "Grey Matters". They still carry this set but now you get more of the light grey then the dark... ok... anyway.... I used the light grey on my lids.
   Oh and I nearly forgot, I used Elf's Eyeliner pin around my eyes. Trying to not be too dramatic with it though. I like the way this pin works. My only issue with it is that it needs to be stored up right or  it won't write right. Oh, it not water proof either... but it gets the job done other wises.

"Purty Persimmon" is far right.

Lips

• Wet n Wild MegaLast 970 "Purty Persimmon" +Markwins Cosmetics 

    One of my newest lips sticks to join my collection. I went out of my way to find a color called "PinkerBelle" last year after seeing it on Pinterest +Pinterest Fan Page | News, Updates & Business   I liked it so much that when I crossed a really good sell on MegaLast lipsticks I picked up two colors that popped out at me. Gotta luv the vibrant shades coming out now!

    And look who I ran into later that day!

How To Eyes Tutorial: Pin-xperimentation

   So... we see these projects and ideas on Pinterest but how many are likely to be Pinterest FAILS?
  Really, I have found most projects that I or people I know who has taken on a Pinterest project actually were successful! You should see my brother's dinning table... it's gorgeous! But right now I'm here to talk about an eye makeup look I came across...

   There were no written instruction to this tutorial, well, take that back, the instructions are so small you can't read them! But the picture is really about all you need. The green is lovely that they used but I was not wearing green that day so I switch it to purple.
   Skill level? Well, I have a pretty high skill level with makeup. I can do Egyptian make up in just a couple of minutes and make it on stage in time!
   I would say this look for a newbie that knows NOTHING about makeup might have a time with it but if you know how to use a eyeliner pin you should be able to do it... and hey, newbies try anyway, can't get good at something you don't try!
   Here's how it works...

   First off, I have a collection of shadow so I was able to find 4 colors that would give you the ombre effect and I used two liquid eye liner. To have a finished look you have to have mascara. Oh and I use concealer for the base for my shadow.

Step 1 : Put a base one your lids that the shadow will stick to. I used Love My Face 250 Light Cover Stick.

Step 2: Start at the outer corner of your eye and draw a line with your eye liner (I'm using Wet N Wild Mega Liner 07 "Plum" out and upward. You can use pencil or liquid but I'm better at using liquid so that's what I went with.
Another line is drawn on your natural eye crease outward to meet the line you drew from the corner.

Step 3: Use your darkest shade here. I used a deep metallic plum mixed with black from a set of shadows by KLEANCOLOR "All About Me 18." Coloring inside the lines about 1/4.

Step 4: Your medium shade goes here. Blending into the edges of the darker color cover the middle of you eye lid. I used MAYBELLINE New York "Lasting Lilac" The darker color.

Step 5: And here color what hasn't been colored to the tear duct. Again MAYBELLINE New York "Lasting Lilac" but the lighter shade.

Step 6: Darken the "wing" with black liner or black shadow. I use a black liquid liner.

Step 7: Apply a little of the dark color under your lower lash line.

Step 8: Add black liner around the eyes. (I did not do this. I don't like putting liner on after putting on shadow.)

Step 9: Looks like they added highlight of yellow in the middle. Instead of yellow in the middle I placed a light skin town color of shadow from my KLEANCOLOR "All About Me 18." to the tear duct area of my eye.

Step 10: Mascara! I used Maybelline The COLOSSAL Volum' Express Upper and lower lashes.

Lipstick? Wet n Wild Pinkerbelle!
