I couldn’t figure out which of my new eyeshadows I wanted to use first (I recently got Rule, Steamy, & Parfait Amour). So, I picked two…rule & steamy. Probably not the most commonly used colors together. I think it looks neat, though. My husband says it’s his favorite, so that means a lot. He’s...

My friend, Cristin & I had ourselves an impromptu makeover & photo shoot session yesterday. It was fun for me because since I’ve become more accustomed to MAC makeup & sharpened my technique, I hadn’t yet done anyone else’s makeup other than my own. My girl, Cris has had it rough for awhile…but...

I'm always feeding my MAC addiction piecemeal...an e/s here, a foundation there...well yesterday I splurged. Here's my haul!

I have no idea why I re-did my makeup last night. The only place I actually went was the grocery store & Blockbuster, lol. But I asked Dave what color he thought I should use for my eyes. He said blue & blue was what he got! I wasn’t sure about this at first. I, for a while, thought that maybe...

I fell in LOVE with ritchieramone’s ‘Bitter Sushi’ FOTD. So, in my admiration, I decided to try & copy this. Sadly () I don’t have Sushi Flower or Bitter eyeshadow…so I had to make do. Hopefully I did ritchieramone’s look justice! I used: ((Face)) MAC SFF in NC40 & NC42 L’Oreal HIP...

I forgot how much I love rusty/browny/bronzey colors. One day I shall get my hands on Chocolate Brown, Tan, & Copper Sparkle Pigments. Then all will be right with the world. Here’s my FOTD! Please ignore the horrid condition of my skin. It was boycotting me or something today. Yuck. Face...

That's a quote from Lord Afred Tennyson's Gardener's Daughter. Springing a little culture on you so early! This is my contest entry for BeautyAddictMag’s FOTM Challenge. The theme was ‘May Flowers’. The notion struck for this look when I was getting ready for work this morning! So, I couldn’t...

I wanted a soft look today with NO liner. I’ve been having extremely dry itchy eyes lately & I want to see if it’s a result of my beloved black liner. Without it I tend to feel naked & undone, but…I think this came out rather nicely. Face: MAC SFF in NC40 L’Oreal HIP Foundation in Café Zhen...

This was another mistake. I was going for a blue look, & someshow I picked up Golden Olive...I dunno. I've also been working hard on my blush/highliter/contour technique. Usually I sort of just wing it, lol. Today, I actually tried. Hopefully it's noticeable! I used: Face Smashbox Photo...

I was feeling glittery today! In my hey day I used to wear a lot of glitter & have since calmed down with it. I think there are ways to wear glitter w/o looking trashy & gaudy…but life’s too short & hectic sometimes to worry about that stuff all of the time. Look like drag queen once in awhile...

I'm so tired...I just came back from the Dr.'s office & the appointment went well. No hysterics, lol. I'm too tired to be witty so here's my FOTD Enjoy! Face: Smashbox Photo Finish Primer MAC SFF NC40 L'Oreal HIP Foundation in Cafe P.F. Shimmer Strips in Vegas Strip MAC Sheertones Blush...

I tried to wear some light-hearted whimsical colors today. I feel the complete opposite & I REFUSED to pick up a dark shadow. Sounds silly, but I’m calling it 'cosmetherapy', lol. If my eyes are happy – I’ll be happy! Yes, I had another bad night. So, when I felt cruddy this morning, I wasn’t...

**UPDATE** **UPDATE** **UPDATE** The appointment went well. Dave came in with me & I stayed strong, no tears. Plus there was a student Dr. with him & I allowed her to be there. Even if I'm uncomfortable I like to be part of the educationg process. Even the nurse was...

I was going to imitate Temptalia’s FOTD, but I didn’t have a minty green for my inner lid Such a pretty look of hers! I’ve had Brick Red e/s forever & couldn’t figure out what the heck to do with it. I mixed pigments until my arm hurt. If only I had Coppering & Velvet Moss e/s. Would have made...

The idea of this looked fantastic in my head…although I don’t think it translated quite so well on me. I think the mossy/sea green color is pretty, but I don’t know if the burgundy/bronze really flowed well with it. Eh. I’ve been having it rough lately so that’s why I haven’t been posting quite...

I made a multi-dimensional look w/ the blues & accidentally grabbed a bronze color w/ my brush. So, while initially it was a mistake, lol...I made it work. Land meets the water! <face> MAC Prep + Prime MAC SSF in NC40 MAC Sheertones Blush in Blunt & CoyGirl P.F. Shimmer Strips in Vegas...

I've been trying to grow my hair out. I haven't had it long in like...three thousand years (literally!). It's tough, painstaking, & no fun at all. I was messing around on some websites that let you upload your own picture & 'try' hairstyles on. There's this particular one that's really neat...

I don’t know if it was from all of the excitement last night or what…but I could not sleep. I’ve been up since 6:30 yesterday morning! So needless to say I feel like a walking zombie. Which is funny because today’s FOTD is, I think, one of my best ever. Now, tooting my own horn isn’t my thing...
