Le Metier de Beaute’s Penelope Kaleidoscope on the lid — I used the softer gold mixed with the darker brown as a lid/crease mix. Â I needed something subtle and neutral to do some lip swatches!

My fave look for this week used 4 new products I hauled from MUFE…i used the aqua cream in peach on my cheeks which was really nice for the sun and warm weather; then I used aqua creams in silver and plum on my eyes to do a smokey kind of eye look, and also treid out the new aqua liner in black with multicolour sparkle ( which by the way is amazing!!) and tons of black mascara and UD 24/7 liner in Rockstar on the lower waterline…it looked great and I got lots of compliments as well. I have to say though the aqua creams and new liners are going to be my new obsession they are sooo amazing and versitile…my wallet weeps for its future abuse lol….oh yeah, and for lips I used MACs Boy Bait cremesheen which is my HG lipgloss 🙂 Have an great weekend everyone!

JM Tinted moisturizer, Garden Botanika eye primer, a gray old Bourgeois liner, brow cream color by Laura Mercier in blond (cannot go without brows), light dusting of Glisten by Tarte on my cheeks, Fresh Sugar in Plm on my lips – I was into a really no makeup look this week all week.
I’ve been using the UD Rollergirl pallete… and Tarte clay blush in Exposed on cheeks, a nude lip with either Creme D Nude or the nude from MAC VV.
This week, I have been wearing NARS Dogon duo eyeshadow very frequently. Loving it a lot.
But my favorite look this week has to be the look I wore on my birthday on Thursday: Shiseido Tropicalia eye palette-yellow on the inner lid, pink on outer lid, subtle green sheen as highlight. For the cheeks, MAC Wonder Woman Pink Power MSF-pink and bronze part combined. For the lips, MAC Kissable Lipcolour in Scandelicious.
Face: RMK liquid makeup base, clinique age defense BB Cream
Loss… It’s not Clinique BB Cream but. Had used Shiseido Aqualabe Foundation in OC-10.
Today I’m wearing Psychedelic sister on lid, Sweet & Punchy in my crease with the tiniest bit of Humid to darken the outter V. On my lower lashine I smudged Float on By and then used Aquadisiac on the inner half and then darkened the outer half by using Strike a Pose. I bronzed my cheeks a bit with my Physician’s Formula Bronze Booster and then applied Intstant Chic. On my lips, Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Totally Toffee and then applied Strange Potion lipgloss over. 🙂
I have a photo shoot tomorrow, and I tested out one of the looks I’ll be doing. It’s lime green on the inner part of the lid, streaked upward past the brows and on the inner lower lashline. Bright blue (MAC Clarity) next to that, following the same streaking pattern, Deep blue (MAC Deep Truth), then bronze (UD Smog), and finally UD Goddess to finish the end of the eyelid and smoke it out a little on the outer lower lashline. A streak of lime green along the cheekbones, and OCC Lip Tars in Tarred and Rx, mixed together, on her lips.
I really liked how my makeup turned out today, a really natural smokey eye with dewy skin 🙂

It’s this intense hot pinky fuschia. Then I have Urban Decay’s Skyscraper mascara and Zero 24/7 on upper and lower lashlines. Looks really clean, but playful! I’m really digging this type of approach to makeup for summer ;D

I went to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale today and this is what I rocked:
UDPP Sin, Ben Nye cream palette yellow and orange, going out like a bird beak inside the inner part of the eye and out like winged liner (both yellow and orange) set with yellow and orange eyeshadows from NYX and 120 palette and then a light yellow white goldish color as the highlight browbone, with UD Rockstar and NYX Red Bean Pie as the lower liner going out the inner eye area like a bird and winged out, with Mandarin Sky blush, Albatross highlight, Vegas Volt lipstick and that peachy/coral lipsgloss Evil Queen color from Venous Villains. I wore my orange, yellow, peach, green flower ring on my head to match with it.
I did something a bit out of the box using lime green & purple shadows. check it out on my blog here: http://cosmephile.blogspot.com/2011/05/mac-sweet-punchy-vibrant-grape.html
