Revisit…
Friday, April 23rd, 2010I wanted to do something with color for work (like I’ve said over and over… all neutrals every day gets me a bit down) so I decided to re-try an old look. I think it came out a lot better, but then again, all my looks from a year ago looked downright scary! I hadn’t started using products in my crease, and I’m not sure I even attempted to blend. Oh what a difference a year can make!!!

Valentine’s Look
Monday, February 15th, 2010My look for February 13, 2010.
Face
Eyes
For actual Valentine’s Day I did a purple look I often fall back on… Beautiful Iris, Satellite Dreams, Fertile, and Shroom. Didn’t take any pictures.
Look for February 1, 2010
Monday, February 1st, 2010Hmm, trying to use more pinks lately 
One of my more neglected palettes indeed. Today was a fairly calm/simple look…
Face
Eyes
I rarely line my upper lashes, let alone with Blacktrack, so this was something different. Just felt that it was too plain and needed liner.
Look for January 27, 2010

1 Minute Eyes
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Today I was in a rush, and didn’t have time to go through my usual makeup routine of multi eyeshadows, foundation, etc. So here’s my “1 Minute Eyes” look I came up with!
Eyes
Didn’t photograph too well, but it’s a simple and pretty pink-ish look. Just a bit of color to spice up an otherwise boring look! I was thinking how easy it’d be to take something like Contrast, and darken up the outer V, and transform the look, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thursday, November 26th, 2009Just a quite pink look for today… figured I should look pretty while I stuff myself at dinner!
Eyes
Fresco Rose paint pot applied as base. Swish applied all over lid with 239 brush. Hepcat applied in crease with 222 brush. Contrast used to darken outer V and outer bit of crease, using a 217 brush. Upper lashes lined with Contrast using 209 brush. Rite of Spring applied as a highlight with 272 brush. Zero used to line lower lash line.
Sunny eyes for a sunny day
Monday, October 19th, 2009Finally the sun was out for the first time in who knows how many days, so I went for something bright. This is off of my “list of must do looks” that I have compiled. I think I really really like it! Yay!
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Redhead
Foundation applied with 109 brush, then Tahitian Sand to the cheeks with a 168, topped off with the pinker side of the Redhead MSF with a 168.
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Rated “R” e/s
- MAC Firespot e/s
- MAC Passionate e/s
- MAC Paradisco e/s
- MAC Shroom e/s
- MAC Pearlglide Liner in Black Russian
- MAC Clear Brow Finish
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Painterly paint pot applied as base with a flat e/s brush. Rated “R” applied to inner corners with a 219 brush. Firespot packed on over lid with 239 brush. Passionate buffed into outer V and crease with 217 brush, blended with Firespot. Paradisco used to blend out Passionate above crease, with a 272 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight with a small shader brush. Using the 219 brush, I used Rated “R” to liner under lower lashes on the inner half, and then Firespot on the outer half. Black Russian liner then applied to waterline.
Lips
- MAC Valentine’s lipgelee
Some thoughts…. Passionate is terrible to work with. I dunno, I just don’t like the texture of it in the pan. Seems like it’s hard to pick up on a brush. But… when blended into something like today’s look, it’s really pretty.
I got a new MUFE mascara. Mine was about 7 months old and drying out so I sprung for a new one. At $22 a pop I try to avoid buying it too often, LOL!
Let’s play a little catch up!
Thursday, October 1st, 2009So my problem is laziness. I take pictures, then they sit on the camera. I have pictures on my digital camera from nearly a year ago! So… this morning I don’t have much going on, so I am vowing to go through all the makeup pictures, delete the crap ones, and post up good ones, regardless of how old.
What this means is that I probably won’t remember which products I used. But I still want to post them up since I took the effort to take the pics, ya know? What’s even worse is that my camera’s date kept resetting, so I don’t even have an accurate date for these Most will be from March – June 2009.
I run several blogs on a huge variety of subjects, and I tend to neglect them all, so honestly I REALLY need to make a vow to at least stay on top of a few.
First up…
This is from September 22, 2009.
Two words: SPICED CHOCOLATE!
I heard so much raving about this quad, so when I caught notice it was at my nearest CCO, I ran over and grabbed it. I’ve been in such a mood for a “fall feeling” with bronzes and reds, so this really excited me. And it didn’t fail to impress! (Which is always important, as things tend to get hyped up on MAC forums and turn out to be a bust)
I also dyed my hair recently “Deep Burgundy” by Feria. These pictures were taken soon after it was dyed. 1.5 weeks later and it’s faded a bit, but still really red. Maybe I finally found a good red hair dye?! Well, that, and I switched to using a sulfate-free shampoo (Bed Head Superstar) which really helps on prolonging hair color.

September 5, 2009
I went for a strawberries & bananas look this day and ended up messing it up by using a black eyeliner. I don’t like dark eyeliner (as you can tell, I usually don’t line my looks, which drives some people crazy but I like no liner a lot of the time). Therefore, I will only post the open eyes version.
Make Up For Ever #75
MAC Chrome Yellow
MAC Black Russian pearlglide liner (ARGHHHH)
MAC Full of Fuchsia Technakohl liner (trying to unruin the look)
Sometime in August 2009
How great are Taylor Swift dresses?! Haha, I just had to say that!
This was done with some of the Hello Kitty shadows… I’m guessing Too Dolly and Lucky Tom are two of the candidates
Sometime in April or May 2009
Awww, this is sooo pretty, I wish I remembered what I used I almost want to think I used Plumed Violet Cream Colour Base, but I am not sure.
April 3, 2009
I remembered the date on this one because this was the night of the Fast & Furious opening, LOL! I was going for the import model look, I guess. I used Too Faced Ooh & Aah duo eyeshadow.
That’s about all! There were other ones, but I either didn’t like how I did the makeup, or it was a repeat of something I had posted earlier.
Whew!
I am going to try to focus on getting swatches and collection photos up. I know natural light is best for that, but unfortunately the weather is quite crappy so I’ll have to see how far I get with that, especially today.
Hello pink!

- 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!!!
February 21, 2009
Saturday, February 21st, 2009Yay for finally using MUFE #75, I’ve had it since early November! And yes, I am anticipating pretty stained eyelids, I will have to report back on that on a later date

Bright, obnoxious, but pretty fun!
So apparently…
Sunday, February 15th, 2009the second color in each Hello Kitty palette hates me. Or I was just having a terrible makeup day. Either way, I was cussing out Romping this morning in the bathroom. It’s terrible! Wouldn’t blend at all, just stuck in a big bright clump. Like WTF? Totally killed the look I was going for. Luckily, Stately Black and Too Dolly make up for the yucky Romping, and boring Yogurt. I didn’t think I’d like the Lucky Tom palette more… so happy I decided to buy it!
I have today’s and yesterday’s looks to post… minimal pictures because both were bleh days.
February 14, 2009
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Milk pigment all over lid (217 brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 along upper lash line
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Lips
- MAC Fast Friends lipglass
Simple and sparkly. I was going out shooting for my photography class, so I kept it simple. One thing I realized is why I never owned a pigment before, and that is because they’re messy. I had fallout all over my face, I had to use one of my new MAC Wipes to clean it up. I even tap my brushes before applying, and that still doesn’t help.
February 15, 2009
Face – nothing!! Was in a rush!
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Yogurt e/s inner half of lid (272 brush)
- MAC Milk pigment over the Yogurt (272 brush)
- MAC Romping e/s outer half of lid *did not go as planned due to this e/s’s inability to blend/spread/whatever (239 brush)
- MAC Too Dolly e/s lining under lower lashes (219 brush)
- MAC Stately Black e/s a bit in outer V (239 brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 lining upper lashes
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Lips
- MAC Lip Conditioner in Pink Fish
Looks OK in this picture, but with my eyes closed it’s a hot mess. I’m steering clear of Romping I think… I don’t know if I want to deal with it, when I have a blendable hot pink shade from Make Up Forever that I can use. I must say I am really disappointed…
Pretty In Pink
Saturday, January 10th, 2009I got the idea for today’s look from a post on Specktra.net about what eyeshadow colors compliment each other: Slip Pink and Sushi Flower. It also suggested using Carbon, but I do not have that color (and try to avoid straight blacks, still kinda scare me!), so I substituted Well Plumed. Definitely a soft, pretty pink look.
This was also my first time applying makeup under my natural light bulbs I got for the bathroom last night. Definitely a great help! I always use to get out to the car, and see flaws, but now my makeup looks inside what it would outside.
Products (all MAC unless noted):
Face
- Prep+Prime Skin Base
- Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
Eyes
- Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
- Slip Pink e/s all over lid (139 brush)
- Sushi Flower e/s in crease (139 brush)
- Well Plumed e/s in outer V and as a liner (139 brush for V, slanted Mary Kay e/s brush for liner)
- Cloud Bound e/s for blending, and up to brow (272 brush)
- Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- Prized Petal lipglass
This can also be called the “all the discontinued colors” look, haha. Prized Petal was a LE, and I found Slip Pink, Cloud Bound, and Well Plumed at a CCO.
