Day Seven.

Oddly enough, I choose my LONG HAIR & drawn on eyebrows for this one, hahah.

So.. the last time I had long hair was in the fourth grade (for those of you counting, like 15 years ago).  Having long hair makes me think of being a little kid and pony tails and horribly tacky 90's hair accessories.. and that makes me happy.  Hell, thinking about the 90s in general makes me happy.  What a time that was.  Before that, I had chin length hair that was a long bowl cut that my granny used to give all of us (hence why my hair was really long once I had an opinion about my hair.. it was either bowl cut or no cut, haha).

My drawn on eyebrows?  Well, j0hn and I clearly have an odd relationship.  The night we waxed off our eyebrows together, though odd to most, was a bonding experience.  Also, it didn't hurt, like, at all, so it was an all around good night.  We giggled at how silly I looked, we laughed at how horrible I was at drawing them on, and we were bummed by how little anyone noticed that j0hn's were gone.

PS:  Also happy evoking in this photo?  The Cruelty Free necklace I'm wearing that Danielle unexpectedly sent me (makes me smile everytime I look in the mirror), my Tangerine Tango hair flowers and tank top (that I bought while training for Sephora in Minneapolis), and my snakebites, which were a gift to myself after I quit my "corporate" job, haha (see: Blockbuster).  My arm tattoos represent my veganism and my love for Batman, both of which are pretty awesome things.  =]

Pantone Color of the Year Tangerine Tango Products!

I wear Tangerine Tango every day at work, so I've found lots of items around work that look beautiful with it.  If you're looking for more items to go with your eyeshadow quad or that Tangerine Tango lipstick, look no further.

1.  Urban Decay eyeshadow in Free Love, $17
This color is a soft coral that teeters on the orange side.  It looks amazing as a single color look with some black liner and lots of mascara.  It has just the right amount of shimmer that means it'll look great on everyone, and would look great with any eye color.  This color is not vegan, but it is cruelty-free.

2.  Stila Long Wear Lip Color in Outrageous, $20
This is an amazing product for the girl on the go.  You can line and fill in one easy step, it never needs to be sharpened, and the color payoff is amazing.  It's affordable, it smooth to apply and it comes in a range of shades and finishes.  Oh.. and it smells amazing.  I think this item contains carmine, sadly.  Stila doesn't test on animals, though.

3.  Madd Style Cosmetix's Orange Eyeshadow Shades, $5
I have an insane amount of Madd Style Cosmetix, you already know this.  I have worn all of my orange shades that are currently listed on the MSC shop with Tangerine Tango looks, and they have all turned out beautifully.  I've posted a couple of looks on my youtube showing how to use these items together.  These are super affordable, as well.  All colors from MSC are vegan and cruelty-free.

4.  Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Skinny Dipping, $8
I received this item in a swap from Dawn and I absolutely love it.  It's such a lovely color and peach tones look good on pretty much everyone.  It's cruelty free but I'm not sure if it's vegan or not.

5.  Jordana Incolor Pretty Shine Luxury Glossy in 10 Dazzling, $1.99
This is affordable, gorgeous, and looks great over other lip products.  It's easy to find, easy to apply, and feels nice.  There's really nothing else to say, haha.  Go to your local Walgreen's and pick it up.  They are cruelty free, but I need to look up the vegan list on my computer when I get home.

5.  Pantone + Sephora Color of the Year Collection, $7-$68
Of COURSE this collection has to be on the list!  Both the Pantone + Sephora and the Sephora Collection cosmetics are a brilliant use of both Tangerine Tango and it's complementary colors.  The eyeshadow quad begs for the liner trio, and the glosses are beautiful and lovely to wear.  The best part about the collection is that it takes the guess work out of what you should wear with the color by offering options.  Sephora brand does not test on animals, but I can't seem to get a definitive vegan list out of them, haha.

FTC:  I have received some pigments in exchange for modeling or MSC.  I have no idea which pigments they are anymore.  I received the blush from Dawn in an exchange.  Everything else I purchased with my own money.  These are my honest opinions.  I do no represent Sephora, LLC or any of it's subsidiaries in any way, shape or form.
