What are your top three favorite MAC Cosmetics products? And you can’t just say “eyeshadows” – you gotta pick individual products!

Inquiring minds want to know!

My answer: could not live without Margin blush, Studio Fix Fluid, and the 182 brush.

P.S. – What’s everybody doing/planning to do this weekend? Me? ‘m about to go off and donate 3 vials of blood to my life insurance company, have dim sum with my parents, and then pretty much attempt to do some reading for law school!

Weekend wise, I’m going to a party to celebrate my birthday, and then I need to study and do some work for a couple of classes.

1. 266 brush along with…
2. Concrete shadow

otherwise, I’d have no brows =(

3. Select Moisturecover concealer for dark undereye circles. Otherwise I look like a zombie!

My internet is back up, so today I’m doing work (BOO!) and then going with my hub to watch 310 to Yuma. Christian Bale is in it, *SIGH*. I told my hub on our wedding day that he better be at the alter on time otherwise I’d marry Christian Bale. As you can tell, the boy wasn’t late!

Have fun reading…I’m sending good studying vibes your way.

LOL! I know, I feel weird without my brows filled in. I can’t even remember how I survived without brow filler.

You find Select Moisturecover to take are of dark undereye circles? I don’t know WTF happened, but I have them and can’t get rid of them (I spent 20 years avoiding them like the plague, and then they crop up randomly).

Yay for internet! Let me know how 310 to Yuma was 😉

1. Strobe Cream~~ Give you just enough moisture and a beautiful soft glow.

2. Sunday best~~eyeshadow

3. courting rose lipglass ~~ Sparklize launch May 2003…

As for the weekend spend it with my daughters and go to her softball game.

Currently my faves are:

1. My 187 brush. I LOVE this brush for applying my foundation, powder, skin finish, whatever!

2. Rubenesque Paint Pot. I love all the paint pots, but I have been getting tons of use out of this one. I wear it under my everyday colors like mythology and all that glitters. I can also wear it under my darker oranges like firespot and off the radar pigment. Beautiful!

3. Margin Blush. So pretty, I love the light shimmer. Works when eyes are purples, nuetrals, blues…..anything!

Here are my honorable mentions:
Zoom Lash
Strobe Cream
Hyper Real Foundation
Swiss Chocolate Eyeshadow
Ether mineralized eyeshadow
Deep Truth Eyeshadow
Delft Paint Pot
Fix+ – Love, love, love
Viva Glam 5 with cream o’ spice liner and instant gold lustreglass
Gold Spill Mineralized Skin Finish

Really……….I can’t live without any of them:)

I can’t believe you’re asking us to name only 3!!! J/K… I guess if I can only pick 3, they would be (in no particular order):

*Studio Mist Foundation in Medium Dark (excellent light & even coverage)
*Paint in Bare Canvas (nice neutral that I can use w/just eyeliner & mascara)
*217 Blending Brush (so soft!!!)
