Valentine's Day Makeup: Neutral Eyes & Red Lips

Valentine's Day Makeup: Neutral Eyes & Red Lips

The boy and I went out last night for our Valentine's Day dinner (early, I know--that's how we do it!), so I had to pull out Chanel Dragon for a little night out on the town! :)  Every time I wear it, I feel like I'm totally made out of awesome,...

Burnished Neutrals: Coppers and Browns

I gotta tell you, this look was a pain in the behind to photograph. You just can't see as much color variation in the close-up photos as you typically can. I took photos in a different spot in my house than I normally do (on the floor, ha), so I won't be...

Smoky Eyes: Tarnished Gold

A tarnished gold, smoky eye... for school? Sure, why not! Let's go with that. Wanted to post this before I ran off to class in a few...  that is, if I don't fall asleep before it's time to go!  Must. Press. On!

By the way, anyone else going to the Spring Colour...

Lip Look: Everyday with a Bolder Lip

Lip Look: Everyday with a Bolder Lip

Wherefore art thou Giulette?

I wanted to wear a brighter/bolder lip, but I was also still on my way to school, so I kept everything else very minimal/subtle and let the lips be the focus. I reviewed Giulette earlier this week, and what makes it stand out in a sea of brighter pinks is really the soft...

Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look

Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look

Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look

I gotta tell you, the eyeshadows from All Ages, All Races, All Sexes are really not so flattering on me. I'm thinking it's probably the cool edge that they all have; it's just a little much on me when used together. I think Cross-Cultural and...

5 Minute Face: Joie-de-Vivre Cremeblend Blush

5 Minute Face: Joie-de-Vivre Cremeblend Blush

As promised, I wanted to show you how to use MAC's new Cremeblend Blushes in a look. They can be worn on lips (yes, I'll do lip swatches -- probably today or tomorrow!) or cheeks, and the intensity is very buildable; you don't need much to get a little...

Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Neutrals & Pink Lips

So, opposite of the last look, here's a very soft look one could wear. I call it Valentine's Day makeup, but you could really wear it any time. I think it's quite appropriate for a variety of occasions! I wore this to school on Wednesday, which...

Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes

Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes

This is probably my last look dedicated to MAC's Warm & Cozy Collection. I'm pretty sure my next look is going to use some *color* as the past few have all been fairly neutral, given the theme of Warm & Cozy. I've never been a huge fan of using super dark bases...

More Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy

Here's another simple look I did with Warm & Cozy. There's really not much to it! I just wanted something easy, functional, and neutral. I thought about wearing By Candlelight in this look, but MAC's mineralize products tend to break me out, so I didn't want...

Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy

As promised, here's a quick look I did using a bunch of Warm & Cozy products! I used Comfort mineralize skinfinish as a blusher in the first set of full-face pictures more to show you what it looks like on (and why I'm not keen on it) -- I often do my best to use as...
