I Tried It Tuesdays- Green Eyeshadow

Ok, so with my first Beauty Inspiration last week, I've thought I could switch up my Tuesday reviews with some I Tried It Tuesdays to showcase new beauty trends or looks that have caught my eye.

Let's get started shall we? If you haven't noticed, I have a ton of make-up (see this post for confirmation) and need to start mixing up my regular neutrals in favor of some new hues. Well, I love the green shadow from my Sephora Palette To Go from this post and I love this look from Scarlett Johansson (check out her Celeb Inspiration post here):

So here it is on me:

I used the green shadow from my Sephora To Go Palette this post, I know it's a bit darker, but I think it looks better with my dark eyes and makes it a little easier to wear during the day.

How to do it: After using some foundation and powder on my lids to help the shadow "stick" I first used Victoria Secret's Beauty Rush Wet/Dry Shadow in Gold Rush on my inner corners and brow bone as a highlighter (see my review on the shadow here). Then I washed the green shadow all over my lid from lashline up to the crease and used a smaller brush to line my lower lids. I then blended the shadow on it's edges to soften the look. Topped it with liner and mascara and I was off!

InStyle even called green a fall shade that's neutral to wear! Wow, I'm so hip. Check their tips out here.

What do you think? Do you like this idea for new posts? What do you want to see next?

Celeb Inspiration: Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is the epitomy of Hollywood glamour. With her milky skin, doe eyes, full lips, and curvalicious body, she's got the makings of a pin-up. She is one of my favorite Red Carpet ladies always looking fresh, young, and insanely gorgeous. I love that she's so feminine and just screams sex kitten all the while looking elegant. Another reason I adore her is, without the glitz and glam she looks like the girl next door. She's also really grown with her style and look as well, experimenting with different colors and cuts, make-up, etc. Take a look of her style transformation here.

Nudes- When in doubt, wear nude! It looks great on everyone and is appropriate year-round. I would say this is Scarlett's go-to for fashion. She's never boring with it though, choosing several different shades of nude, spicing it up with stand out shoes or accessories, and playing with varying hemlines.


Brights- Although nude is a no fail option, I love a great bold color and apparently so does ScarJo. With her pale skin and light locks, she chooses bright colors that warm her complexion. These are my favorite looks of hers, such a wow factor. The green, purple and yellow are my favorite.


Casual- Scarlett's street style is so laid back, nothing like her red carpet glamour. Jeans, light weight sweater or jacket make her the girl next door. So much so, you almost don't recognize her. With the pictures below, you can guess when she chose her outfits herself and when she probably used a stylist.

She's come a long way since this, huh? Doesn't this remind you of Paris Hilton??

What do youthink of Scarlett? What's your favorite look?
