Yummy411: Happy Blog-a-versary Ren!

Hey all! Ren was having a wonderful contest to help celebrate her blog's one year anniversary that ended today. She wanted a video of us mimicking her doing one of her looks. I wanted to enter (Go A Design brushes!), but with the holiday and not figuring out YouTube I didn't enter. However, here's the look I was going to do my video on, based on Ren's look here. I've been obsessed with blue and gold looks, so this one was my choice! I hope I brought enough drama with this look to do it up like Ren would.

Happy Blog-a-versary Ren!

Forget the lashes, I'm loving what you did with the eyeshadow! How did you get that metalic look? Did you foil the pigment, or is that just the effect of the camera's flash? Either way, it looks amazing!
