    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.

    Silver with a touch of color

    This was quite the pretty look, but it didn’t photograph that well. It has no difference in colors in the photos really, but in real life you could tell the outer V was darkened. Oh well!

    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 :)

    Shopping the pigment stash like no other!

    I have never used any of these pigments, but I’ve had them all for a long time! 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!

    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.

    I think I finally felt like Nice Kitty Lipglass was wearable. Neon pink can be intimidating, but it worked for this look! I really need to try to use my lipglasses more often, they are so neglected :(

    It was pretty, but didn’t have great staying power like normal MAC shadows do. But I was happy to finally use these shadows, I’ve had them sitting around since last fall!

    Pandemonium Eyes Look

    Sunday, April 11th, 2010

    Brought out the colors from the Pandemonium Eyes quad that was out several years ago. I really like these colors in combination (unlike other quads where it seems like it’s just random colors thrown in).

    I finally figured out how to use Blacktrack on my waterline… I have to hold it away from my eye and let it dry. That stops it from sticking to my contacts. In one of the pics the Blacktrack on my contact is visible, gross, haha. After I took the pics I cleaned off my contact and put it back in. The good thing is that Blacktrack has UBER staying power on my waterline! I’m in love!!!

    Later that night (I’m writing this entry on March 20th) I redid my makeup, but didn’t get any pictures. I used Lucky Green all over my lid, and then Bottle Green in the outer V and crease. Really dark and dramatic green look :)

    Playin’ with color finally!

    Friday, March 12th, 2010

    Figured out I don’t have to do neutrals every day, I can throw some color in there here and there :)

    Loathing Honey Lust…

    Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

    The topic of MAC’s Honey Lust eyeshadow came up last night when I was formspringing my friend… realizing I haven’t used it in literally years (that I can remember), I decided I’d give it a try today. I really loathe that eyeshadow, I really do. It’s just about the only MAC eyeshadow I’ll flat out say I hate. And guess what? Still loathe it. I think I ended up with more fallout all over my face than I did with actual product on my lid… sucks, because it is a pretty color! It’s just a glitterbomb. I suppose I could try applying it wet, but is it worth that amount of effort?!

    I paired it with Trax so I could have a look of what seems to be MAC’s two most hated eyeshadows according to people on the forums, heh. Now I do like Trax, so all hope wasn’t lost today!

    Making a “night look”

    Saturday, January 30th, 2010

    Yesterday’s look with Stars N’ Rockets and Carbon wasn’t quite a “day look” by any means for most people… but later on I did darken it up and added more eyeliner to take it to a more “night look.”

    I added more Carbon in the crease and outer V. Under the lower lash line I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Ransom, and did a thin line along the upper lashes as well.

    Here’s the updated look:

    0129extra

    Little darker, little more dramatic! Ransom blended in beautifully with Stars N’ Rockets, and sure does have lasting power! I love how those particular Urban Decay liners do not smudge or budge!

    A little bit of Blackground…

    Friday, January 29th, 2010

    I haven’t used my Blackground paint pot too much, so I brought it out today. MAC Stars N’ Rockets eyeshadow over it looks gorgeous! Usually on it’s own or over a neutral paint pot it’s a very pinky-purple color, but over Blackground the blue duochrome really comes out!

    Playing with some lesser used purples

    Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

    As much as I use my purple eyeshadows, I have a few that don’t get used as often, so today I brought them out! I also used my liquid foundation today, and wow! I forgot how light it feels, and how great my skin looks with it!

    Love discovering stuff on my memory card!

    Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

    When I went to grab today’s look off of my camera, I discovered some pics of old looks!

    So Ima post them up instead of deleting… details on what exactly was used is a bit hazy, please excuse that :)

    That’s my catch up post!!

    Bringing more blues into my life…

    Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

    Gotta shop that stash and do more stuff with blues!! :)

    Definitely like this look… not too blue! I think I’ll have to try mixing my blues with other shades to find stuff that’s wearable to me. All blue looks just rub me wrong.

    On a side note, I’ve been at this blog for over a year now! Yay! And WOW, I’ve come a LONG way in application technique/blending/etc! It’s so nice to be able to look back and see improvement :) Which is exactly why I started this blog, because I wanted to document my looks and see improvement, and perhaps help a few others along the way :)

    1217closeup2

    Time to go to the defense of Trax… what the heck is everyone’s problem with this shadow? It applies fine… sure, not as nice as a veluxe pearl finish one would, but it’s NOT that terrible. And it’s a pretty color? Yeah, I just don’t know. I have my faith in this shadow!

    The purple streak continues…
