Once again running a bit behind… I’ve come down with a cold which SUCKS! First time all winter that I’ve been sick, so I’ve been hiding out in bed trying to get better.
I really like this look! Amber Lights and Cranberry blend effortlessly together and look gorgeous paired up!

Hmm, trying to use more pinks lately 
One of my more neglected palettes indeed. Today was a fairly calm/simple look…

I rarely line my upper lashes, let alone with Blacktrack, so this was something different. Just felt that it was too plain and needed liner.

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!

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Yesterday 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!
