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.
A cloud in the sky… goes floating by…

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

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!!!
Do you smell grapes?
Monday, February 2nd, 2009ACK!!!! 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.
Idol Strokes
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009Today I decided to give 100 Strokes from “Brunette Blond Redhead” again, and once again, I was pretty disappointed. The texture is just funky, for lack of better description. The color payoff I don’t find to be that great, either… the reddish tinge that you see in the pot just doesn’t show up on me. Just disappointing
Face
- MAC Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC 100 Strokes e/s all across lid (139 brush)
- MAC Idol Eyes e/s all across lid over the 100 Strokes (139 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s in crease (217 brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Stash
- Benefit Eye Bright in waterline
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Lips
- MAC Lip Conditioner
Instead of Shroom, I kinda wish I would have done a whiter color. But otherwise, I figured out Idol Eyes, being so glitterly, works well on top of another color for a different look.
Ooooooh & Aaaahhhh
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Had to do something quick before class, but didn’t want something boring, so I grabbed this handy duo from Too Faced (gotta admit, I do use non-MAC stuff, too!) and did a classic, subtle silver/black smokey eye look.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat eyeshadow brush)
- Too Faced Ooh & Aah e/s duo (139 brushes)
- MAC Shroom e/s crease up to brow (217 brush)
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC Lip Conditioner
Just sweet and simple! It was the first day back this semester, so I didn’t want to do anything too crazy just yet (especially when so few girls where lots of makeup to class anyways – I know I didn’t when I was an undergraduate!).
I must say, I like the Too Faced shadows that I do have. They’re really blendable and smooth. When I find myself needing a nice silver, I often reach for the Ooh & Aah duo versus my MAC silvers. Maybe out of habit (I’ve had the Too Faced one longer), or maybe because I don’t have a nice solid MAC black e/s, I am not sure. Definitely not a company to ignore when looking for other options!
Ice ice…
Thursday, January 15th, 2009So it snowed today, and I decided to just stay home, and be warm and lazy. I wanted to do somewhat of an “icy” look, and try out some of the new colors I have gotten recently.
Products used (all MAC unless indicated):
Eyes
- Painterly paint pot as a base
- Sea & Sky mineralize e/s
- Aquadisiac e/s
- Top Hat e/s
- Shroom e/s
- Auto-De-Blu Technakohl Liner
- Urban Decay Yeyo 24/7 Eye Pencil
- Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
- DuWop Lash Venom mascara
Lips
- Elaborate lipglass
Eyes are “complicated” so I’m going to describe it all here. After painterly, I took the white/blue half of Sea & Sky (I’ll assume it’s the “Sky” portion, so I’ll refer here on out as that) and put it all over my lid, and up past the crease a bit with a 239 brush. After that, I took Aquadisiac with a 239 brush and applied it in a stripe in the middle of my lid. Then, with a 239 I took Top Hat and applied in my outer V, and blended into the crease, and with the Aquadisiac. I then took Sea (from Sea & Sky, naturally) with a 239, and applied that over the Top Hat, and blended well. I went back and added more Sky and Aquadisiac to brighten up the color. Using the 217 brush, I blended Shroom in the crease, up to the brow. Then I took my 219 pencil brush, and applied Sky in the tear duct, and along the bottom inner 3rd of my lashes. Continuing with the 219, I applied Aquadisiac along the rest of my bottom lashes, and Sea over the Aquadisiac.
I then lined my upper lashes with Auto-De-Blu liner, and with my 217 patted some Sky over the line to make it blend in a bit better. Then I grabbed Yeyo from my Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil set I just got today (yay!) and applied it on top of the Auto-De-Blu line on the inner portion where the Sky shadow was, and then around the tear duct, and the inner third of my lower lashes. I topped my upper lashes off with Make Up Forever Smokey Lash, and my lower lashes with DuWop Lash Venom (Smokey Lash is too clumpy to use successfully on the lower lash I’ve found)
Whew, I’m glad I remembered all of that! Definitely a lot more detailed and complicated than I am use to do, but I am time to spare today so I wanted to see what I could come up with.
Yes, wet hair again, lol. Definitely a lazy day! Hence why I also didn’t do concealer/foundation.
So I suppose this came out kinda “icy” looking. Either way, it was kinda fun
