    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.

    Later after work I decided to add some Blacktrack Fluidline to my waterline because I heard it’s awesome on waterlines. Well… ha. It adhered to my contacts, and wouldn’t come off! I ended up having to take my contacts out, putting them in to soak (I think they might be ruined honestly), and wearing my glasses the rest of the day. BUT… it DOES last longer than Urban Decay Zero does on my waterline, so that’s a good sign! I’ll just have to figure out how to apply it and not get it all over my contacts. Did I finally solve my black waterline liner issues?!

    I received some new goodies as well from a sale off of Specktra… I got Sunbasque blush and a vial of Teal pigment. All for $15 shipped! I’m pleased. Sunbasque gives me a nice warm glow, and luckily it’s fairly sheer so it can be built. Teal was just an impulse buy, I figured for that price I might as well get it!

    First Melon Look – Day Version

    Friday, December 18th, 2009

    I’ve had Melon pigment since October sometime… just finally got around to using it! It applied as a very bright yellow gold on my lids, which kind of disappointed me since it’s a orange-y pink in the container. I won’t give up on it, though, still a nice product.

    I might have two version to this look, day and night. This is the day version. I am going out with friends tonight so I’m going to freshen up my makeup and maybe make it a bit darker. So the night version will be posted in a few days when I’m back!

    Might as well do Christmas looks when I can, right? :D

    Yesterday I did a look with MAC Henna eyeshadow all over my lid, MAC Bronze eyeshadow in the crease, and MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow to highlight. I was iffy on it, and so I didn’t take any pictures.

    Let’s play a little catch up!

    Thursday, October 1st, 2009

    So 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.

    Uber red:

    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.

    Chinese New Year!

    Monday, January 26th, 2009

    I wore this look to a show at Radio City Music Hall for the Chinese New Year on 01/25. I wore my red silk Converse shoes, so I wanted red eyeshadow to compliment it (I wore black otherwise).
