Whoa..
Sunday, December 26th, 2010I made mud…
Monday, November 8th, 2010But I think I managed to salvage it. It was a bit scary for awhile, but a MAC Wipe and tons of blending saved the day. First time using either of these pigments, so I wasn’t expecting Blue Brown to look so red on my skin…

Eh, it has potential.
At least I’m using up some of this stuff I’ve had a year or longer, but have never used. I actually surprised myself last time I was in a MAC store a few weeks ago… (MAC Pro in Las Vegas) I didn’t buy a single thing! All I did was renew my pro card. Quite weird… I walked around, but didn’t see anything I couldn’t live without. Plus it was mad crowded, as it was a Saturday evening, so I think that also influenced my decision not to buy.
Using some of these pigments…

My new wearable smokey eye…
Tuesday, October 5th, 2010I failed at photographing my eyes today. ?!
This is based off a look I did a year ago in October (I was looking through the archives). Just subtracted the blue color.

After work I went out with some friends, so I smoked out this look with some Urban Decay Zero liner on my lower waterline, and MAC Prrr lipglass.

I do believe this is the first time I’ve ever used Tempting! Pan looked perfect, so that’s my guess. Simple look, but I’m not really loving it…

Bringing out Pure Ore!
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Wow, I feel like I’ve owned Pure Ore for ages! It’s been over 2 years since it was released, and I’ve used it maybe 5 times tops, usually as a liner I was browsing specktra.net’s “Shop Your Stash” thread for ideas, and came across a look using it so I had to give it a try!
Face
Eyes

I’m loving it!! It’s not too harsh of a look in real life (so my mom says, she often says my makeup is too dark 
). Nice and sparkly and shiny. I’ve never used Pure Ore like this, so I’m glad I tried something new! Makes me wish I had the silver product from Metal-X, or hell, all of the colors!
Playing catch up! Look for December 23, 2009
Saturday, December 26th, 2009Took 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!

First Melon Look – Day Version
Friday, December 18th, 2009I’ve had Melon pigment since October sometime… just finally got around to using it! It applied as a very bright yellow gold on my lids, which kind of disappointed me since it’s a orange-y pink in the container. I won’t give up on it, though, still a nice product.
I might have two version to this look, day and night. This is the day version. I am going out with friends tonight so I’m going to freshen up my makeup and maybe make it a bit darker. So the night version will be posted in a few days when I’m back!
Face
Eyes
Lips
Painterly applied as a base. Melon foiled all lid with 239 brush and a few squirts of Fix+. Cranberry applied in crease and outer V with 217 brush. Carbon used to darken outer V, applied with 217 brush. Vanilla used to buff out upper crease, with 275 brush. Nanogold applied as highlight with 275 brush. Zero applied on lower waterline.
So that’s the “day version.” Hopefully I can create some sort of night version out of it
Anyways, last post for a few days as I’ll be away from my computer!
A bit of Christmastime…
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009I went to Christmas craft fair today so I decided to do some season-themed makeup just for kicks. I think I got this from temptalia, but not sure…
Face
Eyes
Lips
Painterly applied as base. Star Violet applied across whole lid with 239 brush. Humid applied in outer corner and crease with 239 and 222 brushes. Carbon used to darken crease and outer corner with 217 brush. Vanilla used to blend out crease with 272 brush. Creme Royale applied as a highlight under brow and inner corner of eyes. Star Violet applied under inner half of lower lashline with 219 brush. Humid applied under outer half of lower lashline with 219 brush. Zero applied on lower waterline, and Humid patted over.
Might as well do Christmas looks when I can, right?
Yesterday I did a look with MAC Henna eyeshadow all over my lid, MAC Bronze eyeshadow in the crease, and MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow to highlight. I was iffy on it, and so I didn’t take any pictures.
Neutral with a pop?
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009I guess this can be described as that! Just decided to do my makeup all up to make myself feel better today

Look of the day for October 29th
Thursday, October 29th, 2009I think this is a pretty “neutral” look that could be toned down if needed. It’s amazing how versatile these shades can be, and I wonder how I lived without them!

Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 187. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.

Painterly applied as base. Woodwinked applied on inner half of lid with 239 brush. Expensive Pink applied on outer half of lid with 239 brush. Twinks applied in outer V and crease with 217 brush. Vanilla used to blend out crease, 272 brush, and Rite of Spring used as a highlight. Woodwinked applied under lower lash line with 219 brush. Zero used on lower waterline.
I don’t know why I keep on using MAC Black Russian on my waterline when Urban Decay Zero goes above and beyond what any other liner can?! Zero actually lasts longer than 2 minutes on my waterline, and keeps it’s vibrancy. So I really need to stop reaching for Black Russian and other shades of black for my waterline, and use Zero. *Pounds it into memory*

Sunny eyes for a sunny day
Monday, October 19th, 2009Finally the sun was out for the first time in who knows how many days, so I went for something bright. This is off of my “list of must do looks” that I have compiled. I think I really really like it! Yay!
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Redhead
Foundation applied with 109 brush, then Tahitian Sand to the cheeks with a 168, topped off with the pinker side of the Redhead MSF with a 168.

Painterly paint pot applied as base with a flat e/s brush. Rated “R” applied to inner corners with a 219 brush. Firespot packed on over lid with 239 brush. Passionate buffed into outer V and crease with 217 brush, blended with Firespot. Paradisco used to blend out Passionate above crease, with a 272 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight with a small shader brush. Using the 219 brush, I used Rated “R” to liner under lower lashes on the inner half, and then Firespot on the outer half. Black Russian liner then applied to waterline.
Lips
- MAC Valentine’s lipgelee
Some thoughts…. Passionate is terrible to work with. I dunno, I just don’t like the texture of it in the pan. Seems like it’s hard to pick up on a brush. But… when blended into something like today’s look, it’s really pretty.
I got a new MUFE mascara. Mine was about 7 months old and drying out so I sprung for a new one. At $22 a pop I try to avoid buying it too often, LOL!

Nice neutral look! Which is weird as of late
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 – Redhead

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!
A look from a few days ago…
Friday, September 4th, 2009This is what I did for September 2nd. Decided to use my new goodies from the “Love that Look” and “Makeup Art Cosmetics” collections that I have gotten recently.
I think I’ve concluded that I suck at applying eyeliner *sigh*

I’m loving the Love That Look collection, as I tend to love the starflash shadows. I’m lucky I ordered Rated R when I did, as the next day it went out of stock online (and it’s out at my local store). Full of Fuchsia is out of stock online as well, and I got one of the last in the area at a store.

I also went to the CCO yesterday (this look is from yesterday as well) and picked up Hello Kitty Tahitian Sand beauty powder, Chill e/s, and Glamour Check! e/s. Didn’t get very much… I couldn’t resist the compact of the beauty powder, though. I can’t wait for more HK stuff to hit the CCO.
