Took me a few days to get around to pulling these pictures off of the camera… I’m on a makeup vacation since I’ve just been bumming around the past few days enjoying the snowy weather!

New Old Gold
Friday, October 30th, 2009My empty pans that I have coming so I can press my pigments have been out for delivery for 2 days now… it’s really starting to annoy me! I thought they were coming yesterday… no. So, ok, today! NO… Luckily I have stuff going on tonight so I wouldn’t have time to press anyway. But I swear if they don’t come tomorrow, I’m placing an angry phone call!

I am tempted to add some of my Reflects Copper glitter a little bit over the lid as I’m going out to dinner with friends, and it’s practically Halloween. I’ll see if I get around to it. I’m still being bitter about my missing empty pans

Plumage!!
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009Is my new favorite color! 
Finally decided to try it out today, I love how well it blends and goes on. I had it in my Blue palette, but I think it fits in more with the Greens, so I’ll have to move it into that one.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Redhead MSF (168 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Aquavert e/s all over lid, concentrating on inner half (139 brush)
- MAC Plumage e/s on outer half of lids (139 brush)
- MAC Orb e/s to blend out crease (217 brush)
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC Elaborate lipglass
I really like Plumage! Aquavert was a semi-weird pairing, but it needed up working out. I didn’t want to use one of my brighter greens (like Swimming or Bio-Green) because I thought it wouldn’t match very well.
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
Welcome!!
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Welcome to my MAC makeup blog! I’ll be updating this with my daily looks, new purchases, etc!
I have two looks from a few days ago that I am going to post, and then I’ll post a new entry for today’s look!
Jan. 08, 2009 Look “Going to the pet food store!”
Products (all are MAC unless noted):
Eyes
- Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
- Moonflower e/s all over lid (139 brush)
- Deep Truth e/s in outer V/crease, and a bit to line upper and lower lids (139 brush)
- Ricepaper e/s in crease up to brow (272 brush)
- Crystal Avalanche e/s lightly in crease, and a bit under brow (272 brush)
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- Elaborate lipglass
No foundation/concealer/powder/etc.
This look turned out better than I hoped, and my makeup artist at my local freestanding MAC store even complimented me! This made me so happy, as I am always scared to wear “serious” makeup to MAC, in fear the MUAs will make fun of me. Definitely a confidence booster! I did notice my right eye wasn’t as blended as the left, probably due to the crappy lighting in my bathroom (I switched to “natural” lightbulbs last night and LOVE it).
Jan. 09, 2009 Look “BBR Playtime”
Products (all MAC unless noted):
Face
- Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
Eyes
- Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
- Henna e/s all over lid, up a little past crease (139 brush)
- 100 Strokes e/s in outer V, and along upper lash line (139 brush, and small slanted Sephora brush for lining)
- Ricepaper e/s to blend and up to brow (272 brush)
- Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- Carmex
Time to play with my new products I got from the “Brunette, Blonde, and Redhead” collection, along with my new powder foundation that I got at MAC 01/08/09. I figured out Ricepaper mixed with 100 Strokes made some sort of gunmetal silver color. I honestly must admit I wasn’t too happy with 100 Strokes, but it just might be the other colors I was using it with. I’m sure I’ll make it work.
