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.

I’m finally moved and getting settled in, but with sketchy online access. But hopefully I can get back to updating! I took pictures of how I packed all of my makeup so I will make a post on my packing tips (all my stuff made the 1800 mile trip in a Uhaul safely!!), and then hopefully resume my looks of the day…
I can’t find my “normal” makeup camera, so I can’t post pictures of today’s look, but here’s a quick pictureless rundown:
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20
- MAC Blonde Mineralize Skinfinish
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Vex eyeshadow
- MAC Trax eyeshadow
- MAC Magnetic Fields eyeshadow
- MAC Shroom eyeshadow
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Painterly used as a base. Vex applied all over lid with 239 brush. Trax applied with a 217 brush in crease and outer corner. Magnetic Fields used to darken outer corner and outer half of crease, with a 217 brush. Shroom used as a highlight, 272 brush. Zero applied to lower waterline.
It was my first time using the “dreaded” Trax shadow… and I didn’t mind it! Takes effort to blend it, but it’s not the nightmare that people on the forums make it out to be. I have worse shadows… and it’s a pretty color to boot!
Anyways, this was just my quick “back from the dead” post. Hopefully I will have my desktop up and running soon and will be able to get some pictures up and resume fairly normal operations!

I called the post office today, and it turns out my package of empty pans were sitting in the back room. Apparently, they weren’t going to deliver them?! LOL. I have no idea, but I guess they’re going to throw them in the mail for tomorrow. So eventually I should be able to press my pigments!

Decided to try out the shadows that I got last night. I should’ve been really smart and applied them wet because they would’ve looked a lot more vibrant, but I’m feeling a bit lazy! So another purple look for this week…
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
Foundation applied with 209. (See, lazy day!)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Devil-May-Care Mineralize Eyeshadow
- MAC It’s A Miracle Mineralize Eyeshadow
- MAC Shroom e/s
- MAC Softsparkled Eye Pencil in Iris Accents
- MAC Pearlglide liner in Rave
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush. Devil-May-Care applied over lid with 239. It’s A Miracle applied in crease and outer V with 222 brush. Shroom used as a highlight, 272 brush. Upper lashes lined with Iris Accents. Lower lash line lined with It’s A Miracle, using a 219 brush, and Rave on the waterline.
Simple… lazy… bleh. Haha. I just know the MES will look so much better if applied wet, but that’s too much effort. I wish the weather wasn’t so terrible, it’s making me lazy
Tomorrow I am heading into NYC to go to the pro store!! Woo woo! I’m a bit concerned, however… I want the brush toolbelt but I can’t find it listed on their site?! I hope I can still buy one, my brush cup is horribly failing at holding my brushes and I also plan on buying about 6 more brushes tomorrow so I need the room and organization!
I also kind of want to run by the Make Up For Ever boutique and pick up a small eyeshadow palette. Not that I need to depot a whole two shadows, but I love palettes! Plus they sell nifty metal spatulas, and I’ve convinced myself that I need one for when I start pressing pigments. I don’t think I’ll run by there, though, but I want to. I think MAC is going to hurt the wallet enough

I have an advising appointment today, so I decided to try something fairly neutral…
And WTF, I hate applying eyeliner. How I end up failing at it so hardcore I have no idea. I did it way too thick today, but I didn’t think I was?! ARGH
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde
Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 268. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.

- MAC Cork e/s

Finally 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.
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Rated “R” e/s
- MAC Firespot e/s
- MAC Passionate e/s
- MAC Paradisco e/s
- MAC Shroom e/s
- MAC Pearlglide Liner in Black Russian
- MAC Clear Brow Finish
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
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
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!

Boo, my normal camera that I take my pics with had its battery die, so I had to use my fancier point and shoot. It’s flash is really powerful, so I had to take today’s pictures without flash so they don’t look the best.
I got this idea off of macmakeup.net’s list of eyeshadow combination.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde (168 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base
- MAC Lotusland e/s all over lid
- MAC Smoke & Diamonds e/s in crease
- MAC Vanilla e/s to blend
- MAC Shroom e/s under brow
- MAC Powerpoint eyeliner in Grey Utility along upper lashes (I later darkened it up a bit with Black Russian Pearlglide liner, but after I took the pictures)
- MAC Clear Brow Finish
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC Fast Friends lipglass
god those pictures look like crap!
Also, I feel like lately that the makeup just isn’t “sticking” to me. I’ll apply, and then 15 minutes later it’s really faded??? I don’t know what’s up It’s getting disgruntling.

I go to use my Fluidline today, and realize my 209 eyeliner brush is missing. I fear that it accidentally got thrown away when my brush cup fell into the trash Then to top it off… I go to apply my MSF today and realize my 168 brush is gone! I washed it last night, and left it on the counter to dry. I have a very big inkling that when I showered this morning my youngest cat stole it and carried if off somewhere *whimpers* I did a quick search and didn’t find it out in the open. So I’m kind of upset… it’s an expensive brush and I need it! WAHHHHH
On to my look… (oh I hope my application for a MAC Pro card comes through because I need to replace those brushes!)

LOL, what’s a makeup blog?!
I’ll be honest, I’ve been lazy… sometimes I just don’t feel like taking pictures, and then posting what I did. Or if I did take pictures, I never ended up posting them…
Today inspired me, though, as it was something a bit unusual compared to my usual mascara only, or “normal” fall backs.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base
- MAC Chrome Yellow e/s inner half, and lower lashes
- MAC Electric Eel e/s in middle to blend the two colors, and lower lashes
- MAC Atlantic Blue e/s in outer half
- MAC Felt Blue e/s in crease
- MAC Fade e/s to blend

- MAC Shroom e/s as highlight
- MAC Auto-De-Blue Technakohl Eyeliner along upper lashes
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers

argh, I need to get back into updating this…

Finally I get around to using one of the Cream Colour Bases (CCB for short) I bought at a CCO in March! And I like it! Definitely nice to put shadow over, and it’s been a few hours and still no creasing, so that’s a good sign!
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Cream Colour Base in Plumed Violet all over lid (242 brush)
- MAC Up At Dawn e/s all over lid and Plumed Violet, over crease and up (239 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s as highlight (217 brush)
- Urban Decay Zero 24/7 Eyeliner pencil along upper lashes
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
I think it looks a lot better in natural light than the camera made it look… oh well! Definitely like it, and it even looks pretty on it’s own!
Also stopped by my local CCO and picked up Sunset B, Gulf Stream, and Reflects Duo Purple pigment.

So long without an update! I have three looks to post… I’ve been slacking on that and on wearing makeup. Very tired lately, and the weather has been crappy, so I’ve been wearing mostly just mascara…
The last two looks (the older ones) I don’t really remember what colors I used, so unfortunately I won’t have full details, just pictures
I must try harder at updating and keeping up on this dammit!
Today’s (well, since it’s 3am… 03/09/09’s) Look:
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
- MAC MSF in Redhead (168 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly p/p as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Electra e/s all over lid (239 brush)
- MAC Plumage e/s in outer V and liner (239 brush, Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)

Lips
- MAC Sweet Strawberry lipglass
03/01/09
I really wish I remembered what colors I used on my lids… but!!! I did use my liquid foundation this day, with powder so that’s a change!
- MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation in NW20 (Sephora foundation brush)
- MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NW20 (E.L.F. powder brush)
I forgot how lovely the coverage is on this foundation is, while remaining light. I’ll have to use it more often…
02/24/09
Once again, no idea on color, except I do believe that is Humid e/s in the outer V…
Well… that’s all! Just happy I finally got this updated! I can’t slack off on this stuff, my memory can’t handle it!!!

Today I was cussing out Stately Black. I think the whole Too Dolly palette hates me, so I’m returning the favor by hating it
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Fix+ (2 squirts)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Too Dolly e/s all across lid (139 brush)
- MAC Stately Black e/s in outer V (139 brush)
- MAC Yogurt e/s in crease area (217 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s as highlight under brow (272 brush)
- MAC Romping e/s under lower lashes (219 brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero lining upper lashes, blended with Too Dolly
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC She Loves Candy lipglass
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…

First go around with my new Hello Kitty collection products, and I decided to try out the colors from the Lucky Tom palette.
Paradisco is a headache, horrible payoff. I ended up soaking my brush in Fix+ and then glopping on tons of the shadow, then applying. Yeah, yeah… don’t dip a wet brush in shadow…
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Studio Touch Up stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)
- MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Redhead (168 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Creme Royal e/s in inner corner/middle of lid, and around tear duct (Sephora medium e/s brush)
- MAC Paradisco e/s on outer half of lid, applied wet with Fix+ (139 brush)
- MAC Lucky Tom e/s just a bit on outer corners (217 brush)
- MAC Stylin’ e/s lining lower lashes (219 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s as brow highlight (272 brush)
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up Forever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
- MAC Nice to be Nice lipglass
I ended up liking the look, very fun. Just getting Paradisco to show up at all was painful. I try to avoid using stuff wet (unless as a liner) as much as I can…
I want to do swatches of everything that I got from this collection, I will try to get that done this weekend hopefully. Unfortunately I want to go back and buy more… like Milk pigment, and maybe that neon pink lipglass. I shall see…

ACK!!!! I got to class today, and we were talking about makeup and then I realized it… I FORGOT MASCARA!!! This really bothered me, although I think no one else noticed. But it was so strange So… in the following pictures you will notice the lack of my normally long, clumpy lashes, LOL. Besides that, I LOVE today’s look, I am so happy with the Make Up For Ever #92. Such bold, vibrant color that I haven’t found the equal to with MAC (same with the hot pink MUFE makes)
So, even with the mascara mishap, I love today’s look, and I got many compliments, which is always nice, because wearing such bold makeup can be scary.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Redhead MSF (168 brush)
- MAC Studio Touch Up stick concealer under eyes (194 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC Electra e/s all over lid (139 brush)
- Make Up For Ever #92 (”Purple 92″) in outer V, into crease, and as liner (139 brush and Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
- MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s in crease to blend the purple (217 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s as highlight under brow (217 brush)
- MAC Brow Set in clear
Lips
So weird not adding mascara onto that list, just seems wrong. When I came home from class I did put some on, whew.
#92 just became one of my all time favorites, I just adore it! And it was a hassle to buy, as it’s been sold out constantly for months, so I am happy I jumped to buy it when it was available online back in December.
On another note….
On Saturday (January 31, 2009) I did a quick simple look, and took some brief pictures. No face products, just quicky on the eyes so I could go shopping (remember, I am trying hard to use my makeup!)
Eyes
- MAC Greenstroke paint pot all over lid, up past crease (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in 1999 to thickly line upper lashes
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Not meant to be spectacular, just trying to play with some new products! Greenstoke is a nice paint pot by itself, I don’t even know if I’ll use it as a base very much, probably just a primary color. 1999 is also a pretty liner, but I am finding the softness of the 24/7 pencils to be a bit annoying sometimes.
I think either tomorrow or Wednesday I am going to use Electra and MUFE #75, which is a neon pink to see how that turns out (I just saw that #75 is no longer listed on sephora.com, oh noes!), to try a look similar to today’s.

Today I decided to give 100 Strokes from “Brunette Blond Redhead” again, and once again, I was pretty disappointed. The texture is just funky, for lack of better description. The color payoff I don’t find to be that great, either… the reddish tinge that you see in the pot just doesn’t show up on me. Just disappointing
Face
- MAC Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
- MAC Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
- MAC 100 Strokes e/s all across lid (139 brush)
- MAC Idol Eyes e/s all across lid over the 100 Strokes (139 brush)
- MAC Shroom e/s in crease (217 brush)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Stash
- Benefit Eye Bright in waterline
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Lips
Instead of Shroom, I kinda wish I would have done a whiter color. But otherwise, I figured out Idol Eyes, being so glitterly, works well on top of another color for a different look.

Had to do something quick before class, but didn’t want something boring, so I grabbed this handy duo from Too Faced (gotta admit, I do use non-MAC stuff, too!) and did a classic, subtle silver/black smokey eye look.
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat eyeshadow brush)
- Too Faced Ooh & Aah e/s duo (139 brushes)
- MAC Shroom e/s crease up to brow (217 brush)
- MAC Brow Set in clear
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Lips
Just sweet and simple! It was the first day back this semester, so I didn’t want to do anything too crazy just yet (especially when so few girls where lots of makeup to class anyways – I know I didn’t when I was an undergraduate!).
I must say, I like the Too Faced shadows that I do have. They’re really blendable and smooth. When I find myself needing a nice silver, I often reach for the Ooh & Aah duo versus my MAC silvers. Maybe out of habit (I’ve had the Too Faced one longer), or maybe because I don’t have a nice solid MAC black e/s, I am not sure. Definitely not a company to ignore when looking for other options!

So 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
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

I didn’t do my face today, a bit on the lazy side and had to get dinner prepared for the crock pot, LOL.
I think all my lipglosses look the same in these pictures, such a shame. Today’s (Spring Bean) is especially cool:
Yes, that’s neon green! But goes on in a caramel sort of shade, very pretty. Not green at all! But then in the pictures my lips look red as always Sometimes the camera works out nicely, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the case with point and shoots (Kodak M1033). Maybe I’ll have to use my D300 DSLR more often, at least for product shots.
The 217 brush that I got yesterday works out nicely! It does indeed do an awesome job at blending, I think my 272 is whimpering in the brush roll, worried it got replaced
As a final note, I think Humid is one of the MAC eyeshadows that everyone needs to own! It’s such a nice, solid dark green that goes with a lot of things, and blends well. I love it!
