MAC Manish Arora Sneak Peek Product Photo

MAC Manish Arora Sneak Peek Product Photo

I think anybody who was poo-pooing this launch because of all the repromotes/permanent items will at least be tempted to buy these just for the packaging - because it erally does look fun, stylish, and pretty different from past LE packaging. What do you think?

See a few more product shots!

Looks - Colour Forms Gilded Green Rocks

You know that feeling you get when you do a look, and you just LOVE it? I totally had that yesterday. Admittedly, I haven't really loved, loved, loved anything I have done in awhile. Gilded Green is a pretty unique pigment, because I couldn't think of a great permanent dupe for it. Makes me...

Looks - Incredibly Soft, Pale Yellow and Brown

Looks - Incredibly Soft, Pale Yellow and Brown

I think brushes are essential to good makeup, but expensive brushes are NOT essential to good makeup. I used a cheap random brush I found at my boyfriend's mom's house (of all things I forgot, I forgot my 239!) to apply this look. It didn't go on as pigmented, perhaps, as it would have with the 239,...

MAC Dream List - Surprise Gift!

MAC Dream List - Surprise Gift!

Do you have a "dream list"? I keep a list of MAC products I'd LOVE to buy, but I just haven't (for assorted reasons - from budgeting/price to forgetfulness to all of the LE launches). When I hit up Nordstrom's on Friday, my boyfriend tagged along and said he wanted to check out the new iPhone at the...

A Look Into Temptalia's Shower Space

A Look Into Temptalia's Shower Space

A reader recently asked me to do a post of what I keep my shower caddy, and I've been meaning to do a post like that for awhile now, so what better incentive?

To be honest, I'm currently operating using all available tub-rim space possible, rather than a shower caddy. Partially because we nixed our...

Looks - Super Black Smoky Hot Contrast Eye

Looks - Super Black Smoky Hot Contrast Eye

I did this two days ago, because I really just wanted to see how black I could get Hot Contrast to be. I wasn't disappointed per se, but it definitely didn't get as black as I envisioned (even when used wet). I tried my super black smoky eye I do from time to time, so the look follows that (so it's...
