Nothing much was accomplished this weekend. I've become such a procrastinator now even though I'm no longer a student and don't have homework anymore :S
However, I was motivated enough to play with some makeup :P Decided to try replicating some looks I've seen online:
Gold-reddish brown look

Me:
I didn't really like how it turned out. I think the colour payoff sucked because I went cheap and used concealer as a base instead of UDPP. Should've foiled the NYX yellow-gold pigment as well, but I'm so lazy...

I find that using concealer on my naturally reddish lips makes me look sick...

I used MAC Sketch eyeshadow to get a reddish brown, but I ended up using too much Brun as well, and killed the red tones :S Oh well.

I don't know why in this picture the inner corner of the eyeshadow looks blocky? but at least the yellow-gold colour comes out better here.
Thinking about it, the colours ended up looking more like this bumblebee look...
What I used:
[Eyes]
Rimmel concealer as base, since I didn't want to waste UDPP
NYX Shangri-la trio - the yellow shade on inner 1/2 of lid
NYX Yellow gold Ultra Pearl Mania loose eyeshadow over the previous
MAC Sketch eyeshadow on outer 1/2 of lid
MAC Brun eyeshadow to darken outer V
ELF Luminous highlighter on browbone
Curled lashes and applied Blinc Kiss Me mascara lightly on upper and lower lashes.
[Face]
Everyday Minerals concealer in Intensive Light all over face
MAC Emote to contour nose and cheekbones
ELF Luminous highlighter on top of cheekbones
[Lips]
Rimmel Recover concealer to mute lipcolour
A bit of Nivea Labello lipbalm to provide a hint of glossiness
Clarins Colour Fizz look
(saw this on Nessa's blog awhile back)

I need a more pigmented yellow to pull this off. Perhaps MAC Chrome Yellow would've been good.

I like this one better than the first look. I was surprised by how wearable it looked. Only thing I would change is to not bring up the yellow shade as high, if I wear this out. I'd bring it up to only the crease, where the orange is now, and use a more subtle highlight on the browbone.

Lips were a bit off, I'd use a darker blue-pink next time like MAC Mattene 40s Pink with the Cult Fave lipglass instead of NYC.
What I used:
[Eyes]
Rimmel concealer as base
NYX Shangri-la trio - yellow shade all over lid up to browbone
NYX Shangri-la trio - orange shade on outer V
NYX Purple on lower lashline, outer half
NYX Shangri-la yellow and orange on lower lashline, inner half
Curled lashes and applied Blinc Kiss Me mascara lightly on upper and lower lashes.
[Face]
Everyday Minerals concealer in Intensive Light all over face
MAC Emote blush to contour slightly
Everyday Minerals B&B blush
[Lips]
NYC Fragile Pink lipstick
MAC Cult Fave lipglass
Oh and I did these looks on one eye each, so don't mind the other mismatched eye in the full face pictures please? :D

I like the Clarins look! The purple on the bottom really makes things pop. :)
i think you did both very well. i really like how you blended colours for the clarins look. loving those pink lips!
This look, the eyeshadow combo is gorgeous on you:)
wow!! you did a fantastic job recreating those looks. i love 'em!!
thanks for all the supportive comments :) i liked the Clarins one more too, the first one just didn't seem 'me'.
I love love the clarins look and wanted to dupe it for a while now!
Fab job!
You look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW you look gorgeous!!!!
I didn't like the yellow on the first girl; I thought it made her look old and tired. On you, though, it's actually much more decent. It def. doesn't compare with your Colour Fizz interpretation, though. I LOVE how you did it. It's very pretty!
muse, vanessa, and alienman: awww thank you guys! :D
