    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!

    So apparently…

    the 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.

    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.

    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…

    Do you smell grapes?

    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.
