Me = SLACKER!

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

So long without an update! :( I have three looks to post… I’ve been slacking on that and on wearing makeup. Very tired lately, and the weather has been crappy, so I’ve been wearing mostly just mascara…

The last two looks (the older ones) I don’t really remember what colors I used, so unfortunately I won’t have full details, just pictures :(

I must try harder at updating and keeping up on this dammit!

Today’s (well, since it’s 3am… 03/09/09’s) Look:

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
  • MAC MSF in Redhead (168 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly p/p as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Electra e/s all over lid (239 brush)
  • MAC Plumage e/s in outer V and liner (239 brush, Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
  • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde, Brow Set in clear over that
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • MAC Sweet Strawberry lipglass

03/01/09
I really wish I remembered what colors I used on my lids… but!!! I did use my liquid foundation this day, with powder so that’s a change!

  • MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation in NW20 (Sephora foundation brush)
  • MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NW20 (E.L.F. powder brush)

I forgot how lovely the coverage is on this foundation is, while remaining light. I’ll have to use it more often…

02/24/09
Once again, no idea on color, except I do believe that is Humid e/s in the outer V…

Well… that’s all! Just happy I finally got this updated! I can’t slack off on this stuff, my memory can’t handle it!!!

Plumage!!

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Is my new favorite color! :)

Finally decided to try it out today, I love how well it blends and goes on. I had it in my Blue palette, but I think it fits in more with the Greens, so I’ll have to move it into that one.

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • MAC Redhead MSF (168 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Aquavert e/s all over lid, concentrating on inner half (139 brush)
  • MAC Plumage e/s on outer half of lids (139 brush)
  • MAC Orb e/s to blend out crease (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Set in clear
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • MAC Elaborate lipglass

I really like Plumage! Aquavert was a semi-weird pairing, but it needed up working out. I didn’t want to use one of my brighter greens (like Swimming or Bio-Green) because I thought it wouldn’t match very well.

Do you smell grapes?

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

ACK!!!! I got to class today, and we were talking about makeup and then I realized it… I FORGOT MASCARA!!! This really bothered me, although I think no one else noticed. But it was so strange :( So… in the following pictures you will notice the lack of my normally long, clumpy lashes, LOL. Besides that, I LOVE today’s look, I am so happy with the Make Up For Ever #92. Such bold, vibrant color that I haven’t found the equal to with MAC (same with the hot pink MUFE makes)

So, even with the mascara mishap, I love today’s look, and I got many compliments, which is always nice, because wearing such bold makeup can be scary.

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • MAC Redhead MSF (168 brush)
  • MAC Studio Touch Up stick concealer under eyes (194 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Electra e/s all over lid (139 brush)
  • Make Up For Ever #92 (”Purple 92″) in outer V, into crease, and as liner (139 brush and Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
  • MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s in crease to blend the purple (217 brush)
  • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight under brow (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Set in clear

Lips

  • MAC Lip Conditioner

So weird not adding mascara onto that list, just seems wrong. When I came home from class I did put some on, whew.

#92 just became one of my all time favorites, I just adore it! And it was a hassle to buy, as it’s been sold out constantly for months, so I am happy I jumped to buy it when it was available online back in December.

On another note….

On Saturday (January 31, 2009) I did a quick simple look, and took some brief pictures. No face products, just quicky on the eyes so I could go shopping (remember, I am trying hard to use my makeup!)

Eyes

  • MAC Greenstroke paint pot all over lid, up past crease (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in 1999 to thickly line upper lashes
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Not meant to be spectacular, just trying to play with some new products! Greenstoke is a nice paint pot by itself, I don’t even know if I’ll use it as a base very much, probably just a primary color. 1999 is also a pretty liner, but I am finding the softness of the 24/7 pencils to be a bit annoying sometimes.

I think either tomorrow or Wednesday I am going to use Electra and MUFE #75, which is a neon pink to see how that turns out (I just saw that #75 is no longer listed on sephora.com, oh noes!), to try a look similar to today’s.

First it was steamy, now it’s humid in here!

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Here’s today’s look, an old favorite of mine that I like to do :)

Products (all MAC unless otherwise noted):

Eyes

  • Painterly paint pot as base
  • Bitter e/s in inner corner/third of eyelid (139 brush)
  • Swimming e/s in middle of eyelid (139 brush)
  • Humid e/s in outer V, blended into crease, as as upper lash liner (139 brush)
  • Shroom e/s blending in crease, and up to brows (217 brush)
  • Bio-Green e/s lining lower lashes (219 brush)
  • Brow Set in clear
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • Spring Bean Lustreglass

I didn’t do my face today, a bit on the lazy side and had to get dinner prepared for the crock pot, LOL.

I think all my lipglosses look the same in these pictures, such a shame. Today’s (Spring Bean) is especially cool:

Yes, that’s neon green! But goes on in a caramel sort of shade, very pretty. Not green at all! But then in the pictures my lips look red as always :( Sometimes the camera works out nicely, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the case with point and shoots (Kodak M1033). Maybe I’ll have to use my D300 DSLR more often, at least for product shots.

The 217 brush that I got yesterday works out nicely! It does indeed do an awesome job at blending, I think my 272 is whimpering in the brush roll, worried it got replaced :(

As a final note, I think Humid is one of the MAC eyeshadows that everyone needs to own! It’s such a nice, solid dark green that goes with a lot of things, and blends well. I love it!

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Here’s today look! I did this completely random honestly!

Products (all MAC unless noted):

Face

  • Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
  • Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)
  • Fix+ (2 squirts once all makeup was done)

Eyes

  • Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
  • Mancatcher e/s all over lid, up to brow bone (139 brush)
  • Steamy e/s in outer V, and as liner both top and bottom (139 brush, and Mary Kay slanted e/s brush for lining)
  • Crystal Avalanche e/s as a highlight (272 brush)
  • Benefit Eye Bright in inner corners and waterline
  • Brow Set in clear
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara top and bottom

Lips

  • C-Thru lipglass

I took pictures before I did concealer on this massive mountain of a pimple on my forehead and before the Eye Bright, and then after I did it. So I used the later pictures, except for the last one I’m going to post, that was done before those two items.

and for the one without concealer or Eye Bright

Obviously, the concealer helped! :) Unfortunately, it is a discontinued product, but I see mine lasting forever since I haven’t even sharpened it yet, and I’ve had it for 1.5 years. It’s just nice that it’s in pencil form, so I can “draw” it on, then blend it in with the 194 brush. The Eye Bright also perked up my eyes a bit, so I am going to try to use that product more often.

My hair left a lot to be desired today, sorry about that, haha.
