FOTD: Crazy Cool Shock-A-Holic

Here's a little FOTD I did with the purple eyeshadows I got from the Dare To Wear collection! I know I do this look all the time but I really love how 'whiter' Crazy Cool is compared to Beautiful Iris I feel like it just pops a little more. Please excuse my eyebrows! I've been growing them out a little since I'm going to get them done before I head back to AZ! lol And sorry I couldn't get a better head shot I forgot to take a pic before I was ready to go out lol!

FOTD: Suave Intensions

Here's a FOTD of the make up I did when I went to meet up with Tracie for lunch! =] I barely use blues so I thought it was really wearable because I know some people are worried about wearing blues because it's too bright and what not but it's just a sky blue/brown look and I ended up really liking it a lot!

FOTD: Mutiny Pigment

I own about 12 MAC pigments and I barely use them! My favorite one definitely has to be Naked pigment - it's the only one that looks like it's used! True to its name, MAC pigments are super pigmented! I love the colors but I barely use them because I'm so messy and most of the time I'm in a rush so I'm scared I'll spill a lot! I haven't bought any of the new pigments [in the new packaging] but it looks like they downsized the product for the same price! Of course the bottle will last you for-freaking-ever but still! I don't know if I like the new packaging - it's supposed to look like their foundation bottles - it's cute, but so small compared to the old packaging!

In this FOTD I used Mutiny pigment, which I got from the Naughty Nauticals collection that came out in `08 I think? It's a pretty light teal/sky blue color. I also got a few samples from Kate at Everyday Minerals so I'm trying out the foundation and I'll definitely let you guys know what I think! So far it's going good =] And I'm using Viva Glam Cyndi! It's definitely my fave I think I need to go for a back up!

FOTD: Naked Angel

LOL sorry I'm really bad at coming up with names for my FOTDs! I'm really satisfied with my recent MAC haul because I love everything that I got! I go through MAC wipes like crazy, my brow gels almost gone, and I've really been lemming these colors for a while. The one I love the most though is my Naked pigment! I don't have very many pigments because I tend to lean towards my regular MAC e/s instead just because I pop open a palette and there they are. Plus I'm super messy when it comes to loose shadows. But I am in looove love love love love with Naked because it's suchh a pretty color. It's like a shimmery light tan color and it pretty much goes with everything. Expect to see a couple more FOTDs with me using it! I also love my Angel L/S. I've read somewhere that Kim Kardashian's favorite lip combo is Angel L/S + NARS Turkish Delight L/G and omg it's like the perfect nude pink lip! I can't get over it. haha

FOTD: Patriotic

I should have posted this yesterday but I was studying for my exam which I totally bombed! =[ I voted yesterday! It was the first election that I was able to vote in. I wasn't gonna vote because I didn't get anything in the mail telling me where to go plus I had to study. But I got caught up in the hype and I had to! Then I got home and couldn't concentrate on studying so I threw together this FOTD. It's a little messy and I didn't really do a full face but it was fun. ;] PS don't mind the bad angles I didn't take any good pictures!

Hauls, Bare Minerals, & EOTD

Soooo... I can't seem to stop hauling! And MAC's coming out with another collection this weekend. No wonder I'm so broke! I went to Ulta this weekend and bought the Bare Minerals starter kit. I've been lemming it FOR-EVER! And I've been super annoyed with the Clinique foundation I've been using because it's been making me break out and making me super oily in my T-Zone. So I bought this:



It's just the starter kit and a brown Stila Smudge Pot. I even got free gifts for I'm not sure what? lol It's just a little empty travel set and a giant white Estee Lauder bag I can use for school. I tried the Bare Minerals and ooohhhmaaaagaaawwd I love it! It looks so natural and I think it's already clearing up my acne. But I haven't really tried any other mineral make up. But I think this is my new foundation for now. I love the kit cause it comes with so many things



It comes with 2 foundations, a dark and light shade, mineral veil, blush, bronzer, a face brush, long handled "buki" brush, & concealer brush. It's really a steal at $60 considering the normal sized foundation is $28. I couldn't help it either they're having a sale at Ulta on the Bare Minerals too! A regular sized foundation and mini kabuki brush for $35. So I went back got that and some nail polish. LOL



I swear, make up and MAC is such an addiction! I feel like I'm a crack addict swarming to make up stores/MAC counters just to get my next high. It's tough! But hey, at least I'm really not doing crack. I got 2 more mineral brushes and the 266 brush. The lady at the counter made me think I shouldn't have bought those because I guess the mineral blushes are now permanent. I thought to myself I should have just bought the lipsticks and lipglass from the Sonic Vibe collection that I wanted. Oh well I still love these colors! I even set up an appointment next month for the fall collection release or whatever. I'm not sure what it's called it's my first "event". The MUA was like "We ask for a $50 minimum that day" I was like, homegirl I'm lucky if I spend ONLY $50! My poor credit/debit cards. I'm so excited though!


Gleeful & Dainty

I did a subtle blue look today for school. I thought my eyelashes looked pretty so I'm posting these pictures. LOL

WHOO okay. I'm done with this post. LOL I'm just gonna post on Blogger Swap and call it a night!

blue eyes

Lately I feel like I haven't been getting enough sleep! I go to sleep in the wee hours in the morning hoping maybe Brian will call me then I knock out and wake up around 9 or 10 to finish up my online class homework which is due by noon. Lucky thing class is almost over! My final paper is due Thursday and I have to take an online final that day too so I really need to catch up on my studying.

I seriously need to stop shopping because our contract with T-Mobile ends in a week and I need to buy my new phone! But of course, I bought new things.

My order from Coastal Scents was waiting in front of my door when I woke up this morning! I ordered 10 pink brushes from there.

L to R: chisel blush, stippling, angle blush, synthetic foundation, blending fluff, oval fluff shadow, synthetic concealer, round crease, sable powder, kolinksky lip

It was $46 including shipping for the whole thing, which isn't that bad, but I was disappointed in them. They're not really scratchy and they didn't shed when I first used them like my Sonia Kashuk powder brush did. But I guess, I did get what I paid for. Out of all of them the lip brush was my favorite. ha! I was most disappointed in the stippling brush. I washed all of them before I used it and the stippling brush shed like craaaazy! When I tried to use it with my powder, it didn't really pick up anything I got so frustrated I used my other brush. One thing about these brushes too is they kind of stink. There's just a weird smell to it. =[ I think I was better off bidding on eBay for the MAC stippling brush! HA!

I went to Ross today too and got this cute little pink organizer thingy. I put all my brushes in there.


Isn't it cute? I wanna put something in there though to make them stand up straight kind of how Sephora brushes look in store.

I even got this suuper cute LeSportsac bag for only $30! I wasn't gonna buy it but I thought of how expensive their bags are in the actual store.


So, I know I am absolutely no where near being a MUA but I was messing around with my Urban Decay shadows because they're so neglected now that I have a bunch of MAC e/s and this is what I got.

I can only do this to my face at night because people here would look at me like I'm crazy considering most of the population in Tucson are elderly. LOL. But I really like it. Please excuse my eyebrows though, they have a mind of their own.
