MAC Marcel Wanders: Gesina Lipstick + Mary Lip Gloss

I applied Gesina Lipstick straight from the tube and then patted Mary Lip Gloss on top with a separate lip brush.   I didn't use any lip liner, but if you find red lipstick is prone to...

Ode to Hourglass G*psy

I have raved about Hourglass' Visionaire Eyeshadow Duos before--the texture is really top notch: buttery, soft, and easy to blend. I don't think there's a single thing I dislike about these duos. The price is hefty, but then they give you a ton of each color. I would love to...

Look:  Chanel Holiday 2010

Here's a look using several of Chanel's new products for the holidays! :)  It's a quick, five minute look, and for reference, I used all of the eyeshadows dry.

My Special Occasion Look: Red Lips

My Special Occasion Look: Red Lips

I don't know why, but one of my go-to looks for a special occasion is red lips paired with a gold eyeshadow look. I didn't have much time, so I only snapped a couple of photos of this look. I'm also still mad that Ore photographs so blah relative to how TA-DA it...

Look:  MAC Venomous Villains - Maleficent

I used all of the mineralize eyeshadows wet, and these photos were taken at least a half hour after applying (do you know how terrible I am at applying lashes?!), so the color stayed quite vibrant well after they dried.  I went for a greasepaint stick as a...

I finally received my Chanel SoHo Story goodies that I ordered last week (blast them! for only allowing me to select ground shipping) on Monday, and here's a quick look I created using nearly all Chanel products.  Reviews of several of the products to follow shortly! :)

Look: Urban Decay Black Palette

Look:  Urban Decay Black Palette

Can you tell that I used four eyeshadows in this look?  If you can, you earn a merit badge for excellent, discerning sight!  Despite looking and even swatching relatively distinctively, when used, the eyeshadows look rather similar.  Just kind of looks like an...

Look: LORAC Private Affair

Look: LORAC Private Affair

I just finished up testing LORAC's Private Affair palette (review coming soon), and this is a finished look I did using the palette. The burgundy shade is so disappointing, because it looks so lush and pigmented when swatched and when initially patted on, but it fades...
