MAC To the Beach Look: Humid, Shimmermoss, and "Sweet & Punchy"

If you've been collecting MAC for years, you and I both know that we own near-dupes of coming attractions, no matter how pretty the newest, shiniest thing may look. Since MAC To the Beach is out in the UK already, I thought I'd try a...

Bright Makeup: Lotsa Teals

Here's a quick look I did using two of the new Benefit eyeshadows, plus one of Urban Decay's new Stardust eyeshadows (to be reviewed in full later). Really loving the way Dolce & Gabbana Nude Blush looks, though. Pain in the behind to photograph a swatch of it, but boy is it...

Spring Makeup: Gold, Green, & Teal with Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette

I love the lips for this look.  It's my new favorite lip combo, and as soon as I slipped on Le Metier de Beaute Apricot Creme, I completely remember why I shelled out $36 for it.  In fact, I think I'm going to place an...

Spring Makeup: The Fresh Bloom of Spring with Purple, Green, & Blue

One of the most important things to do when doing a look with distinct colors is to be careful not to over-blend, which is really easy, because most of us put our noses to the mirror when we're checking to make sure we did a good...

Colorful Makeup: Green, Teal, & Blue

Colorful Makeup:  Green, Teal, & Blue

I envisioned a green, teal, and blue combination, and I really went from there for this look. I'm also trying to work on using permanent or recently released products in my looks, so, even though it was unplanned and totally coincidental, this look is very much...

Look: Tropical Green & Teal with Blue Sorcery Mineralize Eyeshadow

Look: Tropical Green & Teal with Blue Sorcery Mineralize Eyeshadow

No matter what I try or how many times I try it, mineralize eyeshadows and I just don't get along. They frustrate me, and using one means I'm adding (wasting) another 15-20 minutes to my makeup routine that really feels unnecessary. I guess it is just not meant to be! I just find that they're...

Look: Subtle Green & Teal with Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II

How's your Wednesday treating you? By the time this post goes live, my butt will be taking a midterm! Can't wait for that to be over! :)

I wore this look out to lunch this past Sunday and used Urban Decay's Book of Shadows Vol. II Palette to do so. I was shooting for a subtle, yet colorful, look, so I...

Here's a look using the Stila All Doll'd Up Palette that I reviewed and LOVED so much. :)

What's on the agenda for today? I'm about two minutes away from being late for leaving for my morning classes (one on federal taxation and another on cyberspace), aka I better get my butt MOVING! How's your...
