A little bit of Blackground…
Friday, January 29th, 2010I 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!

I think I love purples…

Feeling a warm chill in the air…
Saturday, December 5th, 2009This look was for December 4, 2009. I was going out with a few friends, and it was about 20 degrees out, so quite chilly! So I figured this would be the chance to try out Warm Chill. The “Shop Your Stash” thread on specktra has really pushed me to start using stuff that I have never touched before, and Warm Chill, Bottle Green, and Goldmine were 3 products I had yet to use.

Greenstroke applied as a base. Warm Chill applied all over lid and up past crease. Aquavert applied to outer half of lid. Bottle Green applied in outer V and crease. Carbon used to darken outer crease. Creme Royale applied as a highlight. Goldmine was applied in inner corners and over Eldorado under the lower lashes.
I think I might be getting on a gold kick with my looks…

A bright look! 
I took inspiration from specktra.net’s “Shop Your Stash Challenge” thread, and used some stuff from my stash that I haven’t used in a long time, or never!
Here’s what I came up with, and I love it! Bright, but not too over the top.
Face
Eyes
Painterly applied as a base. Cosmic applied all over lid with 239 brush. Lotusland land applied in inner crease with 217 brush. Satellite Dreams applied on outer crease and outer V of lid with 217 brush. Indian Ink used to darken outer crease and V with 217 brush. All the purples were blended, blended, blended! Indian Ink applied as liner along upper lashes with 209 brush. Nanogold applied as a highlight with 272 brush, topped off with Ricepaper using the same brush. Cosmic applied under lower lash line with 219 brush. Zero applied to lower waterline.
Eek, full face shot! Haha… I hate posting them 
I forgot how wonderful Cosmic is… applying it is like heaven, it’s so smooth and blendable. This was my first time using Indian Ink, and it can take a bit of work to get it blended in, but I really like it as a matte dark purple for smoking out a look. I’ve heard complaints that it looks black on certain skin tones, so I was please to see it remained purple on me!
Random note… but I’ve been using my MAC Green Gel Cleanser for about a week and a half now! And it seems that my skin is fine with it! Some things cause me to break out, so I was hesitant about switching to this particular cleanser. Yeah yeah, most people hate MAC’s skincare items, but I like my stuff to be from the same people. Call me a dumb snob, or whatever… it’s just my thing. I love how the tiniest dab is enough to wash my whole face, so I foresee the bottle lasting for quite awhile.
On a neutral kick…
Monday, November 30th, 2009I have been doing a lot of neutral looks lately.. probably a good and a bad thing. Good because out there in the “real world,” usually neutral makeup is what’s acceptable; bad because I feel like I’m neglecting all my pretty, bright colors when I have the chance to use them.
So here is a soft neutral look I did for November 29, 2009. It didn’t photograph as well as I wanted it to unfortunately, but the point gets across.
Face
Eyes
Painterly applied as a base. Solar White applied to inner corners with 219 brush, and as a highlight with 275 brush. All That Glitters applied over the rest of the lid with a 239 brush. Satin Taupe applied in crease and outer V with 217 brush. Corrupt applied along upper lash line and lower waterline.
It’s a very gentle that still brings some pop to the eyes, especially the Solar White in the inner corners.
And I’ll try to do a bright look soon, haha!
Not dead, I swear!
Monday, November 23rd, 2009I’m finally moved and getting settled in, but with sketchy online access. But hopefully I can get back to updating! I took pictures of how I packed all of my makeup so I will make a post on my packing tips (all my stuff made the 1800 mile trip in a Uhaul safely!!), and then hopefully resume my looks of the day…
I can’t find my “normal” makeup camera, so I can’t post pictures of today’s look, but here’s a quick pictureless rundown:
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20
- MAC Blonde Mineralize Skinfinish
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Vex eyeshadow
- MAC Trax eyeshadow
- MAC Magnetic Fields eyeshadow
- MAC Shroom eyeshadow
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Painterly used as a base. Vex applied all over lid with 239 brush. Trax applied with a 217 brush in crease and outer corner. Magnetic Fields used to darken outer corner and outer half of crease, with a 217 brush. Shroom used as a highlight, 272 brush. Zero applied to lower waterline.
It was my first time using the “dreaded” Trax shadow… and I didn’t mind it! Takes effort to blend it, but it’s not the nightmare that people on the forums make it out to be. I have worse shadows… and it’s a pretty color to boot!
Anyways, this was just my quick “back from the dead” post. Hopefully I will have my desktop up and running soon and will be able to get some pictures up and resume fairly normal operations!
I’m so blue…
Monday, November 2nd, 2009I feel like I’ve been having some “off days” the past two days. My looks have been very bleh and non impressive, but alas I shall post pictures anyway…

I called the post office today, and it turns out my package of empty pans were sitting in the back room. Apparently, they weren’t going to deliver them?! LOL. I have no idea, but I guess they’re going to throw them in the mail for tomorrow. So eventually I should be able to press my pigments!
Such a bleh day :(
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009The weather is such a bummer today It’s felt so dark all day, and rain rain rain rain! Yesterday was sunny, so to wake up to this today is crappy.
So in honor of the gray weather I present a gray look!

And a rare full face shot!
On Sunday night I ordered a few things from the Container Store to organize my collection with. Much to my disappointment I haven’t seen a change on my order status, and oddly enough, haven’t received a confirmation email of me ever even placing the order. If I don’t see a change tomorrow on the status, I think I’ll give them a ring and see what’s up. I’m overly eager to get these things! I ordered a clear acrylic DVD rack (thank you MAC for making the palettes DVD sized!) for, duh, my palettes. Along with that, I ordered an acrylic rack/tray that I am going to use to store all my pencils and mascaras “Sephora style” with beads at the bottom. The Dixie cup I am currently using just isn’t cutting it! Container Store has lots of awesome storage solutions, and they’re reasonably priced! So hopefully my order ships soon. The whole not getting the order confirmation email, even 2 days later, is worrying me. Woe is me.
Easter Egg?

October 9, 2009
Friday, October 9th, 2009I feel like this is something kinda unusual for me… It is something off of my list of combinations to try (though I did my own highlight/blend and liners). I like it, though! I kind of did a messy job (especially with the liner), so it’s not perfect looking, but I definitely think this is something I would do again, and in different variations with different colors.

Lips

Bleh, I’m so dark under my eyes But… I am too lazy to put on a bunch of concealer, especially when I am not doing anything special. Hence my powder foundation – I don’t like to be all gloppy with products.
Crappy crappy pictures!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Boo, my normal camera that I take my pics with had its battery die, so I had to use my fancier point and shoot. It’s flash is really powerful, so I had to take today’s pictures without flash so they don’t look the best.
I got this idea off of macmakeup.net’s list of eyeshadow combination.

- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde (168 brush)
Eyes

- MAC Lotusland e/s all over lid
- MAC Smoke & Diamonds e/s in crease
- MAC Vanilla e/s to blend
- MAC Shroom e/s under brow
- MAC Powerpoint eyeliner in Grey Utility along upper lashes (I later darkened it up a bit with Black Russian Pearlglide liner, but after I took the pictures)
- MAC Clear Brow Finish
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC Fast Friends lipglass
god those pictures look like crap!
Also, I feel like lately that the makeup just isn’t “sticking” to me. I’ll apply, and then 15 minutes later it’s really faded??? I don’t know what’s up It’s getting disgruntling.

Feline Robbery :(
Friday, October 2nd, 2009I go to use my Fluidline today, and realize my 209 eyeliner brush is missing. I fear that it accidentally got thrown away when my brush cup fell into the trash Then to top it off… I go to apply my MSF today and realize my 168 brush is gone! I washed it last night, and left it on the counter to dry. I have a very big inkling that when I showered this morning my youngest cat stole it and carried if off somewhere *whimpers* I did a quick search and didn’t find it out in the open. So I’m kind of upset… it’s an expensive brush and I need it! WAHHHHH
On to my look… (oh I hope my application for a MAC Pro card comes through because I need to replace those brushes!)

MSFs, Blushes, Beauty Powders… Oh My!
Friday, October 2nd, 2009Yesterday there was a few hours of some good natural light coming in my window, so I decided to try out my new camera on some products.
I’ve never been a blush person, I’ll admit that! So I only have 4 “cheek” products, but that’s fine for me because I actually use them.
I really really really like the Mineralize Skinfinishes that I have! I love how they can be sheer or heavy, depending on how they’re applied. My two are from the BBR collection. I originally got Redhead back when the collection was first released last January. A few weeks ago I picked up Blonde at a CCO because I wanted something more pinkish.
Prism I picked up in June ‘07 at a counter in New Orleans (funny how I remember stuff like this, but not what I ate yesterday! Haha). It’s a pinkish-brown matte. Tahitian Sand is from the Hello Kitty collection and I picked it up at a CCO this past summer. I feel like I really have to jam the brush into the product to get any on it. Can I admit that I mostly got it because the compact is adorable?! 
Now for pictures!
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish – Blonde
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish – Redhead
MAC Powder Blush – Prism
MAC Beauty Powder – Tahitian Sand

Buzz about Holiday/Early 2010 collections are out and about on the forums. I am REALLY looking forward to “Warm and Cozy” which comes out on December 26th. The four eyeshadows sound gorgeous!
* Chamomile Creamy – pale yellow (Satin) (Limited Edition)
* Modelette – Mid-tone warm camel (Satin) (Limited Edition) (Repromote)
* Milled Cider – Dark warm brown (Satin) (Limited Edition)
* Embark – Deep rich brown-black (Matte) (Permanent)
There’s also two MSFs coming out
* Comfort – Golden bronze (Limited Edition)
* By Candlelight – Golden pink (Limited Edition)
I’ll have to wait to see pictures in person before I fully decide on the MSFs, but as for the shadows I’m hopeful that I will get all four!
