Playing a bit of catchup!
Wednesday, October 13th, 2010Simple Old Gold Look
Sunday, July 18th, 2010Guess I’m getting on a pigment kick? 
Eyes
I don’t think the pictures do the look justice 
I love Old Gold, I have no idea why I do not use it more often! It’s been just about the only MAC product I went insane trying to get!
Happy 4th of July!
Sunday, July 4th, 2010No red white and blue, just some maroons and purples

I used an insane amount of shadows for this which I don’t think I really had to do, but oh well, got me using some stuff And still managed to take pictures before I applied my liner… a little too eager this morning to get going to the festivities!
I LOVE Prrr lipglass, I can’t stop wearing it everywhere.
Bronze-y look for this working Saturday…
Saturday, April 17th, 2010I had to work today, but I still took some quick pictures of the looks I did. Usually during the week I just throw random neutral colors together, but I took this combination out of my list of combinations to try!

Bringin’ out the Greens
Monday, March 8th, 2010My life is going to be a whole lot more neutral looks, so today I did something bright. And I realized that all the main colors are MAC Pro shades, weird!
Face
Eyes
Painterly applied as a base. Bright Sunshine applied all over lid. Bio-Green applied in crease and outer V. Bottle Green used to darken the outer V. Shroom used to blend out the top of the crease, and Ricepaper applied as a highlight. Graffiti applied under lower lashes and on waterline.

I should’ve done Parrot under my lower lashes, not sure why I didn’t?! I didn’t realize Amber Lights was so orange-y, or so it appeared today. Still a neat look. Still plugging away on my journal of looks I need to try!!
Pictureless Post for Today!
Friday, January 22nd, 2010On another makeup free kick… UGH! I did wear some last week, but didn’t take pictures. I did another variety of my Hypnotizing with Mulch, a bit more smokier. Then just some neutral stuff.
I have no pictures for my look today (it just wasn’t that impressive), but I can give the rundown…
Face
Eyes
Not the biggest fan of 100 Strokes… always comes out a muddy black color. Definitely one of those things that look a lot better in the pan!
I have my eye on Lucky Green eyeshadow that just got re-released. It was funny… people had theirs for sale for $40, and then MAC went and released the eyeshadow again. Sucks to be them! 
Since it’s out permanently now I have time to think about if I want it.
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…

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
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.
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
Face

Eyes

Painterly applied as base. Off The Page applied to inner corner with a pencil brush. Satin Taupe swept over whole lid with 239 brush. Embark applied in the crease and outer V with a 239 and 222 brush. Vanilla used to blend out the crease, 272 brush. Ricepaper used to highlight, 272 brush. Zero applied on lower lash line. Off The Page and Satin Taupe applied under lower lashes.
A little interesting, eh? It was on my shadow combination list. Off The Page is gorgeous, I’m glad I picked it up when it was out.
About damn time!
Monday, October 26th, 2009That is, for the first use of my Blackground paint pot! I’ve had it for a month or two, and haven’t used it yet. Maybe because it kind of scares me? I am not sure… Today I am being lazy, and figured I’d try out Club e/s over Blackground, which is a highly recommended thing to do in order to get Club’s green scheen to show up. And that it did!
No face or lips today since I’m just bumming around…
Eyes
- MAC Blackground paint pot
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Club e/s
- MAC Ricepaper e/s
- MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Corrupt
- MAC Brow Finisher in Clear
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Blackground paint pot applied on lid as base with 242 brush. Painterly applied on crease and under brow as a base with a flat e/s brush. Club applied over lid with 239 brush. Ricepaper applied in crease and as highlight with 275 brush. Upper lashes lined with Blacktrack using a 210 brush. Lower lashes lined with Club using a pencil brush. Waterline lined with Corrupt.
I usually don’t do super dark makeup, so it is kind of weird to see, but neat. I’m glad the camera picked up on Club’s duochrome at least.
Also my first time using my new 210 brush for liner, and I love it! Nice and precise, allowing me to get a very thin and neat line.

Green look for the last day of school! I really like Plumage… hell, I love all of my greens.
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.
February 17, 2009
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I took a small break from Hello Kitty collection stuff today… well, kinda. I attempted a brown smokey eye with the Lucky Tom e/s, but… it wasn’t doing want I wanted. (Do I have a HK collection curse?) I used very little, so I won’t be listing it on the products list FYI.
Face – nothing! Another natural face day (a.k.a. I was rushed)

Chinese New Year!

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.
