It’s not terrible, except for the glitter bomb that explodes on my face when I apply it…

    After about an hour or so of wear the Mulch in my outer V really faded, but it’s still a nice look. Honey Lust is a really pretty color, just wish it didn’t get glitter everywhere.

    I just love it! This also the first time I am posting up a look using Shale. I use Shale a lot, but never seem to post those looks. I’ll have to do it more often :)

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.

    I don’t think the pictures do the look justice :(

    I love Old Gold, I have no idea why I do not use it more often! It’s been just about the only MAC product I went insane trying to get!

So I whipped up a quick look to get them all a spin.

    It still amazes me how very little pigment it takes when you use it. I’ll never make a dent in any of mine!

Which doesn’t explain why I have a palette full of pretty blues and teals… I guess they’re so tempting to buy because they look gorgeous, but I always feel like an idiot when I wear them.

    So when I saw this combination posted up as a FOTD on specktra.net I had to try it. It’s almost like a neutral look, but still has some color – blue!

    I have NO idea what was up with my concealer today… it applied all chunky. So I had to wipe it all off. Not sure if it was due to my brush being uber dirty (today was brush washing day luckily), or if I just sucked at applying it today. So my undereye area looks like poo, just ignore it :P

    I used an insane amount of shadows for this which I don’t think I really had to do, but oh well, got me using some stuff :) And still managed to take pictures before I applied my liner… a little too eager this morning to get going to the festivities!

    I LOVE Prrr lipglass, I can’t stop wearing it everywhere.
