Let’s play a little catch up!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

So my problem is laziness. I take pictures, then they sit on the camera. I have pictures on my digital camera from nearly a year ago! So… this morning I don’t have much going on, so I am vowing to go through all the makeup pictures, delete the crap ones, and post up good ones, regardless of how old.

What this means is that I probably won’t remember which products I used. But I still want to post them up since I took the effort to take the pics, ya know? What’s even worse is that my camera’s date kept resetting, so I don’t even have an accurate date for these :( Most will be from March – June 2009.

I run several blogs on a huge variety of subjects, and I tend to neglect them all, so honestly I REALLY need to make a vow to at least stay on top of a few.

First up…

This is from September 22, 2009.

Two words: SPICED CHOCOLATE!

I heard so much raving about this quad, so when I caught notice it was at my nearest CCO, I ran over and grabbed it. I’ve been in such a mood for a “fall feeling” with bronzes and reds, so this really excited me. And it didn’t fail to impress! (Which is always important, as things tend to get hyped up on MAC forums and turn out to be a bust)

I also dyed my hair recently “Deep Burgundy” by Feria. These pictures were taken soon after it was dyed. 1.5 weeks later and it’s faded a bit, but still really red. Maybe I finally found a good red hair dye?! Well, that, and I switched to using a sulfate-free shampoo (Bed Head Superstar) which really helps on prolonging hair color.

Uber red:

I went for a strawberries & bananas look this day and ended up messing it up by using a black eyeliner. I don’t like dark eyeliner (as you can tell, I usually don’t line my looks, which drives some people crazy but I like no liner a lot of the time). Therefore, I will only post the open eyes version.

Make Up For Ever #75
MAC Chrome Yellow
MAC Black Russian pearlglide liner (ARGHHHH)
MAC Full of Fuchsia Technakohl liner (trying to unruin the look)

Sometime in August 2009
How great are Taylor Swift dresses?! Haha, I just had to say that!

This was done with some of the Hello Kitty shadows… I’m guessing Too Dolly and Lucky Tom are two of the candidates



Sometime in April or May 2009

Awww, this is sooo pretty, I wish I remembered what I used :( I almost want to think I used Plumed Violet Cream Colour Base, but I am not sure.

April 3, 2009
I remembered the date on this one because this was the night of the Fast & Furious opening, LOL! I was going for the import model look, I guess. I used Too Faced Ooh & Aah duo eyeshadow.

That’s about all! There were other ones, but I either didn’t like how I did the makeup, or it was a repeat of something I had posted earlier.

Whew!

I am going to try to focus on getting swatches and collection photos up. I know natural light is best for that, but unfortunately the weather is quite crappy so I’ll have to see how far I get with that, especially today.

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…

So apparently…

the second color in each Hello Kitty palette hates me. Or I was just having a terrible makeup day. Either way, I was cussing out Romping this morning in the bathroom. It’s terrible! Wouldn’t blend at all, just stuck in a big bright clump. Like WTF? Totally killed the look I was going for. Luckily, Stately Black and Too Dolly make up for the yucky Romping, and boring Yogurt. I didn’t think I’d like the Lucky Tom palette more… so happy I decided to buy it!

I have today’s and yesterday’s looks to post… minimal pictures because both were bleh days.

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Milk pigment all over lid (217 brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 along upper lash line
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Lips

  • MAC Fast Friends lipglass

Simple and sparkly. I was going out shooting for my photography class, so I kept it simple. One thing I realized is why I never owned a pigment before, and that is because they’re messy. I had fallout all over my face, I had to use one of my new MAC Wipes to clean it up. I even tap my brushes before applying, and that still doesn’t help.

Face – nothing!! Was in a rush!

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Yogurt e/s inner half of lid (272 brush)
  • MAC Milk pigment over the Yogurt (272 brush)
  • MAC Romping e/s outer half of lid *did not go as planned due to this e/s’s inability to blend/spread/whatever (239 brush)
  • MAC Too Dolly e/s lining under lower lashes (219 brush)
  • MAC Stately Black e/s a bit in outer V (239 brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 lining upper lashes
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Lips

  • MAC Lip Conditioner in Pink Fish

Looks OK in this picture, but with my eyes closed it’s a hot mess. I’m steering clear of Romping I think… I don’t know if I want to deal with it, when I have a blendable hot pink shade from Make Up Forever that I can use. I must say I am really disappointed…
