MAC Haul

So I found out MAC had released a beautiful summer collection called Temperature Rising. I saw they had two beautiful quads and I had called ahead to have them put aside for me. Unfortunately I live in the barracks and haven't been able to get my car yet. So getting a taxi can be a bit pricey and time consuming. I got there a day late. MAC had sold the palette set aside for me. Oh well I guess it wasn't meant to be. Ill just  move into what I did snag. I got Hot Night blush and Temperature Rising eye shadow quad. Below are pictures of the products.

Day 78- MAC Teal's It

So teal just so happens to be my FAVORITE color EVER! And its no surprise that I have ruffly 3 teal-ish colors. I choose to use MAC Surf USA in the inner corner since its bright, with a silver sheen. And then used MAC Steamy in the corner, it has a gold sheen and blended out with MAC Photo Realism, which is a champagne color.

Products used:

Eyes:
      Maybelline Expert Eyes Trio(chocolate mouse) [to fill brows]

      Hard Candy Primer

      MAC Surf USA

      MAC Steamy

      MAC Photo Realism

      Mary Kay Glazed Honey

      Hot Topic Eyeliner (black)

      Maybelline The Falsies Mascara (Black Drama)

Face:

       Blush (mauve)

Mermaid Face (Day 81)

The other day nymphette had a calendar challenge theme I had post a nail polish for it. I did my makeup for it later in the day after I did my post about the polish. As you can see in the close up of my eye I had a lot of blue liner in the folds under my eye that was due to my eyes watering, I have a very light layer of cream liner but it has never made my eyes water so I do blaim it on my allergies which only affect my eyes. Sadly!

 I used:
           MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre
           Wet n' Wild Blue Had Me at Hello palette the Right eyelid color (lid)
           Claries Palette for the rest of the colors.
           QUO Mechanical liner in silver bullet (top lash line)
           No name cream colored jumbo liner (waterline)
           Jordana automatic liner in mint (lower lashline)
           Rimmel Extra Super Lash in Black
      Brows Covergirl trio in Chocolate Mouse the darkest brown
      Face Covergirl Continous wear foundation in Natural Ivory
               Mark Pressed powder in Matte Med
      Lips Yves Rocher Burnt Carmel

 I did get dresses shortly after doing my makeup and did some grocery shopping. A few girls felt the need to stare and then laugh at me when I went into walmart. It upset me I felt like I had smeared my makeup. Later I was told by a casher that she loved my makeup and it looked great. Which comes to my next point. We are all different I get that, but don't laugh at someone because they don't wear convential colors of makeup. Or heavy liner(at least not in this look) or give themselves spider lashes with half a tube of mascara on their eyes. I love every color and I will wear every color. Maybe I just need to grow thicker skin. My mom informed me last night at easter dinner it takes dedication and practice to become a calouse hearted b!tc#.

Over all I am happy with my look.

Until next time!

This got really washed out for some reason once I had cropped out my snoz. I was really happy with how this had turned out in real life though.

Until next time...

MAC Haul!

I finally was able to go to MAC again. I have used up a few things and like I've said before I would replace them with a few MAC products. So far I have had good luck in finding products that I really like. I was really tempted to get some of the new glitter and ice items but I know if I really like them and use it all, I wont be able to replace it. So I try to stay away from the collections for right now.

What I have used up is:

2 mascaras

1 lipgloss

1 pressed face powder

1 foundation

Since I have already bought one mascara, I didnt want to buy another. So I what I did get was still and eye product but this is something that I have seen used by some of my favorite youtube girls, so I figured it needed to make its way in to my hoard. I got the soft ochre paint pot. I really like this product. I haven't really used it mainly because I haven't done my makeup seriously in a few days, I also got a MSF natural powder in medium. The girl working said that the light is really pale. When she tried it on me it was a perfect match.

Here is soft ochre swatched on my hand. Its really yellow compaired to my skin tone, but I think I can make it work.

Until next time...

MAC Collection 8.2011

So this little group is from 3 shopping sprees. I promise I didnt buy all of this in one stop. My first stop way for my graduation girt to myself. I had finished off one gloss so I wanted to pick up a pretty one from MAC. I was goin to get a dazzle glass, but when I tested one that I liked, it was SUPER sticky and I really didnt like that. The rep that was helping me suggested that I try a cremesheen glass because the text is so soft and creamy. I didnt really see any that jumped out at me and screamed "take me home" so I asked for a suggestion. The rep got me a sample of Boy Bait and I fell in love. Its nude enough to look good on its own but I can pair it with a different lip stick and it would make it look better not washed out. Im so happy I bought this beauty.

Next I knew I was going to need a palette soon for my shadows as I already had quite a few, or at least I feel like I have a lot since I started buy MAC.

I also have really pale skin and oily lids so I needed to grab a matte highlight color that was goin to soften any look I did and my mylar is just my skin tone so its great to blend but not for a highlight. I grabbed Gesso, FINALLY! I'd been looking for this bad boy for a while it took like 3 or 4 trips to MAC to finally find it in stock. This color is a matte and is exactly what i wanted/needed.

Next I figured I needed a brown to do more natural looks, plus I didnt really have a good crease color. The girl who was helping me showed me so many really pretty browns. I wanted to get something matte, seeing as I have so many sparklies already. This is handwritten it's a matte2. I asked what the difference is between a matte and a matte2, I was informed the regular mattes tend to just stick in a single spot if you have dry lids. Matte2 are a lot creamer and smoother so they are a lot more blendable on all skin types.

Then I recently got hired at Beauty and the Beach salon. So from my first check I got 3 beautiful shadows. I had created a wishlist and carbon was on it so I grabbed it. Then I remembered how pretty fig 1 was the last time I was in and I knew that I needed it soon. Plus pink venus just jumped up and said to take it home.

This last picture is how I have my palette layed out as of right now. Not very much in it in comparison to others but I love what I have so far! Can't wait to fill it up.



Haul: Nails and MAC

So this is a way old haul again.(Sry almost caught up) From early last month. I swear I love sally's, I can never stay out of there.
So I made a deal with myself that for every make-up product i used up I can replace it with a MAC one. I had used up all of a mascara so I went online and picked out the flase lashes and i went it got it at the store and just love it. Now the eye shadows just so happen to be right by the mascara and i could help but get one. I choose mylar, it's a satin. I wanted it for a  highlight because I don't have many.
Then I stopped at sally's and CosmoProf. I got so much I can't begin to think why I got it all other than I got grab happy. From CosmoProf I went in for just clear acrylic. I wanted to practice doing fake nails and walked by a sales table and got 3 more bottles of polish... like I needed those and some art shapes.

Then @ sally's I got the glitter to add fun to nails. Then found 2 nail art polishes on sale!

Until next time...
