Wow…

By admin June 12th, 2011, under Brand, MAC, Miscellaneous

6 months into 2011 and I have yet to make a post. Honestly, I have just really lost interest in photographing my looks and posting them. Which semi backfires because then I can’t remember good combinations.

This evening I placed my first MAC order in what feels forever (well, in probably 6 months…)

  • Pro Eye Makeup Remover
  • Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 in Medium
  • Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15

    • Just practical, every day items. I am getting tired of the MAC Wipes (mostly the cost), so I am trying the Pro Eye Makeup Remover as a cheaper alternative. The Studio Moisture Fix is replacing mine that is pretty much empty. It’s my main moisturizer in the summer months and on sunny days as a sunscreen for my face. The Studio Moisture Tint is my solution for days when I am too lazy to apply my foundation.

    I was going to order the False Lash Mascara as well, but decided I will pick it up in August when I am in New York City at the Pro store. My latest tube of Plush Lash is driving me bananas, so I wanted to see if the False Lash stuff would be better.

    I am not sure I need to use Dangerous Cuvée as a base, as it didn’t make a difference. However, earlier in the day I used it as a base for Hypnotizing for work, and it showed through very nicely. I love I Get No Kick as a highlighter, so happy with my purchase.

    MAC Stylishly Yours Fluidline Swatches

    By admin December 30th, 2010, under Brand, Hauls, Launches, MAC, Reviews, Swatches

    MAC’s Stylishly Yours collection launched with two Fluidlines, which are gel eyeliners. (I apologize now for my crappy photo of Dark Diversion. Off day for photography, apparently. Someday I will put in more effort…)

    MAC describes Fluidlines as:
    Ultra-smooth, Fluidline’s gel formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on “foolproof” with a brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action. Long-wearing. Smudge-proof. Lines up in a rich array of colours and finishes. Brush sold separately.

    MAC Dark Diversion Fluidline
    Description: Blackened plum. (LE: Stylishly Yours)
    darkdiversion

    MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
    Description: Solid flat black. (Permanent)

    Swatching procedure: My skintone is a MAC NW20 (maybe a bit lighter due to it being winter). All photos taken under “natural light” bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.

    fluidlines

    Dark Diversion was an impulse buy, but I think I can get some use out of it… if I remember I own it. I hardly ever use my other two Fluidlines I own (Blacktrack and Sweet Sage). Blacktrack is really intense, but works AWESOME on the waterline, despite adhering to contacts and dryness that I’ve mentioned before.

    MAC Cham Pale Collection Swatches

    By admin December 30th, 2010, under Brand, Hauls, Launches, MAC, Reviews, Swatches

    UPS man was kind and brought my MAC Pro package today! :) So time for some swatches of stuff I bought from the Cham Pale collection that released on December 26th!!

    MAC Dangerous Cuvée Paint Pot
    Description: Frosted cool grey. (LE: Cham Pale)
    dangerouscuvee

    MAC I Get No Kick Eye Kohl
    Description: Metallic nude (LE: Cham Pale)
    igetnokick

    MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow
    Description: Beached blonde (Lustre, Permanent)
    retrospeck

    MAC NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil
    Description: A highly pigmented wood-clenched pencil with a firm lead and silky soft application. Use for outlining, defining and drawing. (PRO, Permanent)

    Swatching procedure: My skintone is a MAC NW20 (maybe a bit lighter due to it being winter). Retrospeck is applied over Painterly paint pot, so results may be different if applied on bare skin. All photos taken under “natural light” bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.

    retroswatch

    I Get No Kick currently sold out on MAC’s website, and I can see why! I think it’ll be the perfect eye kohl for brightening and highlighting my eyes (besides my usual NC15/NW20 pencil that I use on my waterline). Tomorrow I might use Dangerous Cuvée for both work and then my NYE look. Very excited to play around with these new products! ‘Bout damn time I got some new MAC :D

    Retrospeck I use as a highlight color often. For being a lustre finish, it doesn’t get too messy on my face.

    Boxing Day haul :)

    By admin December 26th, 2010, under Brand, Hauls, Launches, MAC

    champale - Copy

    Wow, this is the first time I’ve bought a considerable amount of products from MAC that weren’t everyday use items (foundation, concealer, etc), since this past spring!

    Have to wait for the UPS man, which is the sad part, but I got:

    Dangerous Cuvée Paint Potn – from Cham Pale collection
    I Get No Kick Eye Kohl – from Cham Pale collection
    Dark Diversion Fluidline – from Stylishly Yours collection
    Bulk Wipes

    Dangerous Cuvée was originally all I was after besides the Wipes, but I saw some looks with I Get No Kick and liked it. And Dark Diversion is just interesting… kind of a stupid purchase since I hardly use liners. Oh well :)

    I’ll have my own set of product photos and swatches once I get my stuff.

    Quick & Simple

    By admin December 20th, 2010, under Brand, Looks, MAC

    Damn, I have a lot of makeup… that I do not use.  :(   I’m thinking it’s time for a cleaning out sale.

    I’m just sitting around the house today, so nothing special.  Just felt like having a bit of makeup on.  And using some unused stuff.  :)

    Eyes

  • MAC Cakeshop Shadestick
  • MAC Hypnotizing Eyeshadow
  • MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow
  • Make Up For Ever Last Fibers
  • MAC Plush Lash Mascara

    • I took some photos, but they looked poo :(

    So finally MAC is releasing a product this year I am actually really excited for. Dangerous Curvee paint pot! Comes out next weekend, and I cannot wait to order it! I’ve been in such a makeup slump for the last 6 months or so, but this excites me.

    I made mud…

    By admin November 8th, 2010, under Blue, Brand, Looks, MAC, Make Up For Ever, Neutral/Brown, Urban Decay

    But I think I managed to salvage it. It was a bit scary for awhile, but a MAC Wipe and tons of blending saved the day. First time using either of these pigments, so I wasn’t expecting Blue Brown to look so red on my skin…

    Eh, it has potential.

    At least I’m using up some of this stuff I’ve had a year or longer, but have never used. I actually surprised myself last time I was in a MAC store a few weeks ago… (MAC Pro in Las Vegas) I didn’t buy a single thing! All I did was renew my pro card. Quite weird… I walked around, but didn’t see anything I couldn’t live without. Plus it was mad crowded, as it was a Saturday evening, so I think that also influenced my decision not to buy.

    Simple as Birds & Berries

    This is an extremely simple look that still gives some color. The more and more I use Birds & Berries, the more I like it. I guess it’s just a lot more wearable (to me) than most of my other blues.

    Swatch of the Day: MAC Old Gold Pigment

    By admin July 18th, 2010, under Brand, MAC, Swatches

    One of my favorites!! Not sure why it took me so long to swatch this, as it’s a completely fun pigment!

    MAC Old Gold Pigment
    Description: Frosted tarnished gold (Frost, Permanent)
    oldgold2

    oldgold3

    This is a duochrome pigment, and looks either gold or green depending on the angle and light. The base you apply it over can dramatically change the tone, so I decided to swatch over several different paint pots.

    My skintone is a MAC NW20 and all photos were taken under “natural light” light bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.

    First up is Old Gold applied over Painterly paint pot.
    oldgold

    Now Old Gold applied over Artifact, Blackground, Greenstroke, and Delft paint pots.
    oldgold4

    Blackground and Delft really brought out the green in the pigment, while Artifact enhanced the gold. Always neat to see how paint pots can change a color!

    As a side note, the photo of Old Gold on macpro.com looks horrid. It looks like a muted bland pink peach. I have a calibrated monitor for photo editing, so my colors aren’t off… Another reason why I do not go off of the swatch photos on the MAC sites when looking at colors.
