    Later that night (I’m writing this entry on March 20th) I redid my makeup, but didn’t get any pictures. I used Lucky Green all over my lid, and then Bottle Green in the outer V and crease. Really dark and dramatic green 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.

Moving to a wordpress format has been so nice, I’m loving it!  Definitely a lot more flexibility in layout and content.

    Some thoughts…

    1) 217 oh how I love you!  I can’t believe I ever said I didn’t see the point in you on specktra.net!

    2) It’s Parfait AMOUR not ARmour *smacks forehead*  I just recently stumbled upon that discovery… can I claim it’s because French words aren’t my thing!?  At least it’s not as bad as me calling Slip Pink “Pink Slip” for the past two years…

    3) I wonder what my classmates think when I walk into class with makeup like this… Considering only a small fraction even seem to have mascara on, I wonder if I’m a sight to see with dramatic smokey looks for school…

    • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
    • MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20

    Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 268.  Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.

    • MAC Painterly paint pot
    • MAC Parfait Amour e/s

    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush.  Parfait Amour packed all over lid with 239 brush.  Stars N’ Rockets swept into crease with 239 brush.  Using a 217 brush, Beauty Marked was buffed into outer V and outer half of crease.  Using a 272 brush, Crystal Avalanche was used as a highlight and in inner corners.  Rave liner applied to waterline, and using a 219 brush, Parfait Amour applied under lower lashes.

    1021closeup3*squeeeee* I love it.  I don’t know why, I guess I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.  Thank goodness for a 217 brush!

    However, I can’t decide if the look needs some eyeliner on my upper lashes… I avoid lining looks as sometimes it ruins everything, but sometimes it’s needed.  I just don’t know…

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.

    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.

    Just a simple little look, had a test today in school so I was a bit rushed (Monday’s are always terrible of course!!)

I think the whole Too Dolly palette hates me, so I’m returning the favor by hating it :(

    The Romping on the lower lashes was an afterthought, really doesn’t go. Oh well. I’m giving up on the Too Dolly palette for awhile…
