I´m wearing the Pink Split duo & Fast Thrill lipstick 🙂
Hi Luna,
I JUST got Fast Thrill! So pretty. Like Bombshell exactly, but I don’t have Bombshell, so I opted for the LE one 🙂
Hey Christine 🙂 Me neither so I´m super happy to have Fast Thrill 🙂
Hi Luna,
Fast Thrill is such a pretty pink, right? 🙂
OMG me too! but I’m wearing some fafi not so innocent and sugar trance. But I dont find my pink split to be very much pigmented 🙁 I always use it wet, and it helps but not all that much.. Do you have the same problem??
Hi FD,
How funny! 🙂 I don’t own Pink Split, so I can’t speak to it. I know that I’m having trouble workin’ the MES to their fullest potential, though 🙁
Oh & I´m also wearing my Barbie blush 🙂
I haven´t tried using Pink Split wet yet & yes not much colour payoff 🙁 Í have fair skin & very blonde hair, so it´s okay 🙂
Hi Luna,
Which Barbie blush? (I think there were two?)
Don´t be shy 🙂 I LOVE IT 🙂
I’m going to the beach so I only have waterproof mascara and a little concealer. But in the evening I’m going out so I’ll put more on, maybe try out something new.
I like these kind of days when you can do two different looks.
Hi Anni 🙂
You live in Finland,thats my favourite land bc i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ville VAlo :-DDDDDD
U listen to HIM sometimes too????
by the way i do many looks for myself on one day just to try new combos 🙂
Hi Sewing Feathers,
Oh, nice! Lucky you 😉 I’d love to be at the beach right now!
Today I went out to have a drink with a few friends and I was wearing light smoky look using Knight Divine, Silver Ring and Jardin Aires, Nars Orgasm b/o and Ultra Elegant slimshine l/s.
Hi Nana,
Oh, that’s a pretty combo 🙂 I wouldn’t have thought to use Jardin Aires with Knight Divine!
My saturday-university look: MAC Studio Fix N5, MAC Beauty Powder Blush Shy Beauty, MAC Paint Pot Painterly, MAC e/s Shroom, Patina and Phloof, MAC Zoomlash and MAC l/s Pleasureseeker on the lips. (Yesterday I wore the same look, but I with Ahoi there on my lips.)
Hi Nicole,
Lovely 🙂 Pleasureseeker is a really nice color!
Face – SFF, Peachy Keen, Mineral Veil
Eyes – UDPP, Painterly, Vex e/s (hightlight), Jardin Aires p/g (Lids), Magnetic Fields e/s (crease) Teddy liner
Lips – Lollipop Lovin’ l/s
Hi Sophia,
Oh, love the usage of Peachy Keen! Sounds like a few people are wearing Jardin Aires today.
I’m going to a quinceanera today and I’m the main Madrina, so I’m going all out with the makeup, doing smoky eyes (with a little turquoise in the crease…not sure which one yet), probably some kind of nude lip (that new Mellow Mood is great), and #4 lashes. Haven’t decided what blush yet…but I know it will be one of the new Mineralize ones 🙂
Hi Heather,
Fun!! Have a good time 🙂
I just woke up and I don’t know what to put on yet. What are you wearing, Christine? What do you think about the Dior Gaucho Palette?
Hi Shmo,
I wore a brownish-coppery look (will post later today, I think!). I didn’t get a chance to see it in person, but it looked pretty from what I saw online.
studio fix fluid, fleur power blush, bronzer, pleasureseeker lipstick, evening aura eyeshadow on the inner third, expensive pink in the middle of the lid, and star violet on the outer third and in the crease, solar white to highlight, dipdown fluidline on the upper and lower lashline, maybelline collosal mascara in glam black =]
oh, and I was wearing Rubenesque paint pot too.
Hi Ashley H,
This looks really lovely! How do you like the Maybelline Collossal Mascara?
I’m wearing NYX Concealer and MSFN in Medium Plus. I have Hipness blush and Northern Lights MSF on and Intimidate slimshine. On my eyes, I used: UDPP, Pharaoh paint pot, Eyepopping on my lid, Woodwinked on my crease, Jest above my crease, Nylon on my brow bone, Graphblack technakohl on my waterline and Sprout on my lower lash line. I used Plushblack mascara.
This sounds hot! I love those colors!
Hi Kristen,
How is the NYX Concealer? I just got medium plus, but I’m not sure if it’s the right shade for me yet!
A smokey purple/pink eye with the L’Oreal HIP Metallic Duo in Sculpted. I just got it last night at CVS – all the HIP eyeshadows were buy one, get one half off! 🙂
Also, Flusterose lip glass and MAC blush in Dress Camp Pink.
Hi Katherine,
Sounds very pretty! I haven’t tried any of the HIP line (can’t bear to pay the price for it – never catch it on sale!).
HiP is BOGO free now at CVS or Walgreens…great time to pick some up!
I’m not wearing any. I’m all broke out and it’s almost 100 degrees outside.
The last look I wore was Electric Eel & Turquatic. With nothern lights msf and bombshell lipstick(lightly applied) and elborate lipglass.
Hi Ashlee,
Oh, no! How terrible. I hate when I get all broken out 🙁
Blackground paint pot.
Satin Taupe eyeshadow on lid and a little bit over the crease so that it blends with Espresso, which I used on the outer corner and crease.
Define-A-Lash mascara on both top and bottom lashes.
Shiseido maquillage black eyeliner on waterline and lower lash line.
I just had lip balm on for the lips… didn’t want a very strong look.
Concealer, foundation and powder for my undereye dark circles only. Today was a very hot day – didn’t want to cake stuff onto the rest of my face! 🙂
Hi Viv,
Sounds very dark and sexy!! 🙂
Not much. Jest eyeshadow all over and the two ashy browns from the Sultress Eyes quad in the crease. Blacktrack fluidline, top lid only with a wee little wing. A teensy bit of Dollymix blush. Wondershine 3D glass.
Funeral makeup, sadly. :-/
Hi Courtney,
I’m sorry to hear about the reason for your makeup today 🙁
I´m wearing MSFN in light as foundation, MSFN Medium Deep as a bronzer, NARS Sin Blush, MSF Lightscapade as a highlighter, Dior Quint in Incognito (HG!!!), Dior Diorshow Mascara, Mother Pearl Cremestick Liner, Gilty Kiss l/s and Elaborate l/g.
Hi Nell,
What brush do you use with the MSFN to apply it as foundation?
I use the Powder Brush from Bobbi Brown, it is probably much like the 134.
Just mascara.. I woke up reeeeaaaally late!
LOL!! Mascara is one of those wonder items, makes your eyes look so much more awake and yet takes no time at all.
I’m wearing Dior high shine lipstick in Nude sillohette but not anything else. The last look I wore was yesterday which was a very neutral cat eye.
Hi Brenda,
Sounds pretty and easy for Saturday!
OHH I am wearing lingering eyebrow pencil, Rice paper e/s, Sumptuous Olive e/s and a brown MAC e/s I can’t remember the name of, Blitz & Glitz fluidline on bottom only, Mabeline mascara, Buff blush, and Fabby lipstick. Spending my Saturday at work, but at least I have a fun evening palnned with my hunny!
Hi Sadie,
Do you use any special method or technique when you use Lingering? I used to use the brow pencil, but I’ve long since switched to powder shadows.
I had to work today, so I’m wearing mineral foundation, mineral concealer, blush, lipstick, crayon and mascara.
Hi Renata,
What mineral makeup brand do you use?
Today is Fusion Gold Metal-X with a little Femme-fi over it near my lashline, then some Physician’s Formuala Organic Wear tinted moisturizer, Larenim powder, and MAC Vanity’s Child lipstick. So, it’s a pale and gleam-y day.
I feel like the l/s from Electroflash hasn’t been getting much love online, but I have been all about Vanity’s Child and Dangerously Hot since I got them.
Hi Carrie,
How great to see someone busting out the Metal-X! I’m so glad to hear about the Electroflash lipsticks, too. I passed, but good to know you can rock Vanity’s Child!
Today I have mineral foundation, Blossoming cremeblush, Silver Ring shadow with UD Carbon in the crease and a tonne of mascara – smokey eyes are my favourite :o)
A neutral eye…all the colors from the smoking eyes quad except the black.
And a bright pink lip!!!!
Hi Stephanie,
Oh, cool! That quad is great for subtle colors 🙂 What’d you use for the bright pink lip?
face: Lancome color ideal, NC20 concealer from MAC, and Dainty applied with a benefit blush brush (the one that comes with the blush boxes)
eyes: Fresco rose PP, girle ES, Sushi flower ES, stars and rockets ES, and powerplum LL.
Lips: Prep n’ prime, gingerroot liner, and courting rose gloss.
the names may not be 100% accurate, but thats how I remember them haha! (too lazy to look them up right now)
Hi Kat,
What a gorgeous look! Love the usage of Stars & Rockets 😀
Nothing today (housework). Yesterday to see Dark Knight I wore the Sushi compact from Hard Candy (picked up a bunch of quads since they’re half off). I never wear green/olive so it was really different for me, but I loved it.
Hi Asta,
Nice! Where are they half off at? How was Dark Knight?
Sea and Sky Mix: Sea and Sky marbled side (inner lid), Shimmermoss (Center lid), Sea and Sky Royal blue side (outer 1/3 lid), Meet the Fleet (outer Crease), Corduroy to blend, and Solar White with Shroom to highlight. Gentle Mes blush for cheeks and Loreal Beyonce pink lipstick and Cultured l/g.
Hi Kaye,
How are you liking the mineralize eyeshadow? What base did you use?
rollickin paint pot, bare study paint pot, urban decay flash e/s, mac solar white e/s, blacktrack fluidline, black tied e/s, some black stila mascara, charcoal brown e/s in brows, shimpagne msf, lip conditioner
need to buy blackground paint pot and fast thrill l/s!
Hi Alli,
Sounds like a fun look, kind of subtle? 🙂
I am going to a concert tonight so I am all glammed up! I am wearing Odd Couple, Covergirl Lash bast mascara, Black Ulta eyeliner, Sephora lipgloss, and big fake eyelashes!
Hi Lydia,
Sounds really fun! Who are you going to see? (Or rather, who did you see…)

this 😀
YAY 😀
I’m not wearing any makeup at the moment but I’ll be going to a wedding reception later tonight and I’m thinking of using my Play on Plums MES on my eyes with a nude, being color on the lips.
Hi Amanda,
Sounds like a good idea! What did you end up wearing? I hope you had lots of fun!
I’m still in my “work” makeup (aka basically whatever I want! I work at Ulta, so anything is considered “work safe”). I have MAC shadestick in sharkskin as a base, UD Mildew e/s on the lids, UD Smog e/s outer lid and in crease, UD maui wowie e/s inner eye lid, and UD e/s Sin to highlight. Then I lined my lids with blacktrack f/l and made a cat eye “flick” at the ends thennn I lined my waterline with the duo pencil from the heatherette collection (black side, I think its called phone me?) with MAC plushlash mascara… MAC plum foolery on the cheeks and MAC chromeglass in chromaliving. Brows also shaded with browning and porcelain by MAC.
Whew! I didn’t realize I had that much on.
Hi Tina,
It’s so easy to just grab colors and products and throw ’em on. I use a ton of products for most looks, too 😉
I am wearing cash flow on lid, “Pink Split” mono side on lid (wet), marble side on crease, vanilla to highlight and meet the fleet on outer v and bottom eyeliner. Nars orgasm blush, and big kiss on lips! I must say this year’s mineral eyeshadow’s are much more pigmented than last year’s! But I do agree w/others takes ALOT to have the color’s show! 🙂
Hi Mari,
What are your favorite ways or colors to use with Cash Flow? It’s so pretty, but I always forget to play with it!
OOOhhhh! Cash flow on the lid w/Magnetic fields on top and time and space on crease, shroom on brow to highlight man AWESOME soft smokey eye! you should try it! 🙂 btw, can your boy have a talk w/my hubby? (dream list) lol! 🙂
Hi Mari,
Love this look you have, so pretty!
Haha, sure ;P
I’m wearing blue nail polish! Okay, its not makeup, but this is my first time venturing into the world of nail polish with determination. If there isn’t a section already on how to apply nail polish, it would be great to write one. I need all the help I can get.
Hi Tekoa,
Haha! What polish color, Tekoa?
today i’m doing a pink, purple, and green look. i have a light pink on the inner corner, brighter pink on the middle lid, then purple on the outer lid. then a little bit of green above the crease. but then i went swimming and it got kinda messed up! lol
Hi Brittany,
Sounds like a really fun look! I bet it looked sooo pretty.
I went swimming today, so I wore
Warming Trend on lid
Warm Chill on browbone
Gulf Stream under lower lid and lightly in crease
High 90’s lightly
Sugar Trance
I used nothing else with them, and didn’t even have waterproof mascara, only regular…yet all my makeup stayed in place.
Hi DevilishDoll,
Haha, that’s so great! What base did you use?
That’s the thing…I used no base. So I have no idea how I managed it.
Lets see…Electra, Knight Divine, Tilt, and Shore Leave shadows with GreyPrint liner. True Romantic Blush and Party Mate lipstick with Pink Treat liner. Thats my look today:)
Hi Jennifer,
Oh, wow, that sounds excellent! Very smoky.
Hi Christine! I just had brunch with a good friend of mine who I haven’t seen in years, along with her cute older brother. It’s steaming hot here in Taipei, Taiwan, so I wore a simple, natural look today.

Hi Macaddict,
Yes, you are definitely a MAC addict 😀
Very lovely look!!
Today I wore,
NARS Oil-Free Foundation
MAC’s Fashion Frenzy Blush from the FAFI collection
MAC’s Hollywood Nights Lipstick from the Heatherette Collection
MAC’s Paint Pot in Painterly
NARS’ “Fathom” Eyeshadow
Simple pink look I do when I’m hurrying up 🙂
Hi Zoila,
What a great look 😀 How do you like NARS’ foundation?
I LOVE it. I have to say, personally I like it better than my MAC Select SPF 15 (NC30) Liquid Foundation.. I love the coverage and it matches my skintone perfectly. The only cons are that it’s a little pricey ($40) and they come in very little different shades.
I went to Crue Fest lol!
-Everyday Minerals foundation
-Everyday Minerals eyeshadow in Baby Bath and Spin Cycle
-Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eye Pencil (just discovered this – LOVE it for casual non-Fluidline days!)
-L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale mascara
-MAC Blot Powder
-MAC Mattene in Flattering
Hi Ellen,
Soft and flattering, Ellen 😀
Today I have:
Bare Study paint pot as the base, Sweetness beauty powder on outer 2/3 of eyelid, Sweetness blended with Solar White on inner 1/3 of lid, Solar White along browbone, Brownette plushlash, Soleil Tan de Chanel on face along with Love Knot lustreglass on lips.
What a lovely look, Candace! How do you like using Sweetnesso n your eyes?
I have Dazzlelight on the inner corners/a little above the crease and to the middle of the lid and then Aquadisiac blended from the middle to the outer corner/a little above the crease and the same combo lining the lower lashes. My mascara is Plushblack and I used Pink Swoon on the cheeks and a blue sparkly gloss from Victorias Secret on my lips. I smeared a tad bit of Pink Swoon into my gloss with my finger and it works really well with the overall big picture
Hi Kristine,
What a fun look! What a great trick to put your blush into your gloss!
I am wearing Rice Paper with All That Glitters and Nylon with BlackTrack fluidline on my top lids only..
What a great neutral look, Meig!
