I had to work, so I kept it on the tamer side. Trust me, I would’ve preferred to break out my green pigments and go to town!

I don’t know what went wrong, by the end of the day it looked like I had no shadow on 
I’m not the biggest fan of Hypnotizing, payoff seems to suck. I guess I’ll have to experiment with it more and see what happens!

My take on a “professional, interview” look
Saturday, March 6th, 2010Trust me, I can be at a lost on how to do looks like this! I’m so use to bright colors and a dark, smoky look so I actually have to carefully think about my makeup when doing a professional look.

Painterly applied as base. Omega applied over lid. Cork applied in crease and outer V. Espresso buffed into outer V and outer crease to darken. Crease blended out with Vanilla, and Orb used as a highlight. Zero applied lightly on lower waterline.
Overall matte, kind of dull look 
I used my liquid foundation as my skin has just been horrible lately, so I figured better coverage would be good. I have NO idea why I am breaking out like I am. I scarcely use my moisturizer, and I’ve been using my cleanser since November. So I am not sure what is happening. I don’t know if I’m breaking out because it’s so dry being winter? Ugh…
I also need new MUFE Lash Fibers like yesterday. Living so far away from a Sephora or MAC store sucks!!
Whew, it’s a new year!
Monday, January 4th, 2010So I’ve been a bit behind on updating!! I have two looks to post… unfortunately I didn’t get pictures of my New Year’s Eve look… but it was just my typical smokey purple eye look, just a bit heavier than usual. Also did a few neutral looks without pictures…

Painterly applied as base. Heritage Rouge spread all over lid and up into crease with 239 brush. Old Gold applied in inner corner corners with 219 brush, and under lower lash line. Magnetic Fields applied in crease and outer Vwith 217 brush. Soft Brown used to blend out crease, 217 brush. Vanilla used to further blend, 275 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight, 275 brush.
This was my first time using Heritage Rouge, so that’s good! This reminds me of the look I did a few days ago with Old Gold, just the colors reversed.
Undecided…
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009I’m not too sure about today’s look. Reminds me too much of what I did on Saturday for one. And overall it kind of makes me go ehhhh. But this was on my list of combinations to try, so at least I got it out of the way!
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20
- MAC Powder Blush in Prism
Foundation applied with 209, blush with 268. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Smoke & Diamonds e/s
- MAC Climate Blue e/s
- MAC Lucky Tom e/s
- MAC Vanilla e/s
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Binge
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Painterly applied as base. Smoke & Diamonds all over lid with 239 brush. Climate Blue blended into crease and outer V with 217 brush. Lucky Tom used to darken outer V and crease with 222 brush. Vanilla as highlight and to blend out crease, 272 brush. Lined upper lashes and lower waterline with Binge, and using a 219 brush, lined lower lashes with Climate Blue.
Just ehhhh…
And I never thought Smoke & Diamonds was so brownish until today. I guess I haven’t used it that much, but I was surprised. So yeah… too much like Saturday and not something that really makes me excited.
Edit – I know what could fix it! I think if I left out the blue, and did just Lucky Tom and Smoke & Diamonds that could look nice! I’m going to write it down for future use!

<3 I love this palette! Just such a unique blend of colors.
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!
