this was for a challenge on ABB and just because I liked my hair: FACE - Acnes Medicated UV Tint Milk - LORAC Cover Up - Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation + Shiseido Aqualabel sunscreen - Milani Luminous blush (NARS Orgasm dupe) - MAC Pearl Blossom b/p EYES - UDPP - Milani Golden...

Hooray cheesy title Anyways, school starts tomorrow, and as a little gift to myself for losing weight/ start of the new school year, I went to MAC today and picked up Plumage e/s, and the drugstore for Milani Storm e/s. I meant to pick up a couple more colors from MAC (anything they'd...

This was inspired by MissChievious' old "keeping it soft and glowy" tutorial! The look was what sold me on pigments Testing out makeup for my senior portrait tomorrow; I'll most likely go with this look, but lighten up on the liner. I also did the outdoor photos because I've always wanted to...

A couple of FotDs that I haven't bothered to put up until now! Red lips look: My first type attempting a look with red lips; I've always loovvveeddd red lips, but was iffy about trying it since I was afraid I'd be too tan to pull it off. My MA recommended Viva Glam I for me, though, and I...

Can anyone tell me if these two are similar? I've been looking to get NARS Sertao, but if Other Worldly is similar, I'd much rather get that (Or, rather my wallet would be more inclined towards it).

I went there last week with my mom(Who was rushing me, so I didn't have a chance to get anything), and I have to say that the MAC selection pretty much sucked. It's a lot smaller than the San Marcos location; San Marcos has basically about 1/3-1/2 a wall dedicated to MAC cosmetics, while the...

So, I'm trying to cut back on makeup spendage, but then I realized that I only have one measley nude lipstick (honeylove) and two lipglasses (rayothon, mad cap). I'm going to study in NY at Parsons all of July, and I figured that I might want a bolder lipstick for when I go out during the night...

I need help deciding how to color my hair! I'm planning to re-highlight my hair this week (hopefully Sunday). My mom is doing it (she's a certified pro hairstylist), but she refuses to dye it, as she thinks it looks too "cheap" in comparison to highlights, which take more work and are more...

A pretty boring FotD D: I went to my local d/s the other day and bought several Milani e/s after hearing so much about them. When I went home, I looked around online and realized that they were dupes of Amberlights and Mulch! I was very excited, since I had planned to purchase those colors from...

Soo, this is my first FotD! I went to the MAC store with a friend to help her with her first MAC e/s purchase (She got Carbon, Cranberry and Honey Lust). I figured that I might as well find a couple of colors to pair with my expensive pink e/s I had gotten a while back, and so the awesomely...

LOVE THIS STUFF. I use to use Majolica Majorca (Shiseido side brand) Pressed Fantasia 24th powder, and my mom would constantly mention how heavy and cakey it looked (And I would only apply a little). Ever since I started using the LM mineral foundation, she did a complete 180 and started to...

I probably won't be able to stop by the MAC store for a while, so I'm looking into ordering some stuff online. However, I'm horrible at picking shades for myself (I'm trying to learn!) and I always rely on the MAC MAs to choose stuff out for me! I'm currently looking for a nice pink eyeshadow...

A friend of mine took me out to the Domain, and as part of my present she let me go on a little MAC spree. Here's what I got: - Peachykeen blush (the MA told me that it's been backordered and they JUST received the shipment the day I was there, so I was lucky ) - Star violet e/s (I've been...

A list of what I've got so far this month; pretty much my first time getting -real- makeup. MAC: Vapour e/s Knight Divine e/s Blacktrack f/l Mad Cap l/g Rayothon l/g Honeylove l/s Non-MAC: Laura Mercier spf15 mineral powder Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Laura Mercier Oil-free foundation...

Hi everyone! My name is Shelley, and I'm a newly converted MAC addict. I'm 16 (turning 17 next Thursday!), female, asian... Not much to say, other than that. I'm pretty much a makeup newbie. I just got into MAC the beginning of the month, when the free-standing store at the Domain opened. I...
