Medgirl, Whenever you post pictures of your palettes I get so jealous! They are so lovingly organized it makes my OCD tingly senses activate!

How do you think they got that way?

And I'm the one who washes makeup brushes every night!

Did you say OCD????

My husband is reluctant to get me another dog because he's afraid I'll label it!!!

sss215, I hope you love it. Yes, the packaging is super cute and I think you'll love the product just as much. ENJOY!!!
Hi guys! I haven't posted in a minute but I wanted to share my look for Valentine's Day. I have some great red lip earrings so I just wanted to wear red lips to match those. That's it - red lips and mascara! I can't rave enough about Ronnie Red and Strawberry Malt. I rarely wear reds because I think they 'age' me but I am love with this combo. Also, NYX Plush Red liner was a perfect match for Ronnie Red for my NC45 skintone. I hope you all like!

I was surprised I loved Boyfriend Stealer so much! It was the one item that kept going on and off my list, and I'm SO glad I got it in the end. Such a beautiful deep purple, and not very sheer on me at all!

I'm in the process of putting together my new double-sided palettes and I'm trying to figure out if I have enough room to make labels like Medgal has! It seems like so little space between colors, but clearly it's possible to fit labels in there somehow...guess I just need the right label maker! Yay, project!!!
Thanks for the nod ladies! That sounds like a fun project!!! Share a pic when you're done.

Caved and bought cream soda blush and it is definitely one of my favorite Mac blushes. Love it! I also had ordered flattered me from online. It's nice, but not a must have. I'm trying to show more restraint with Mac, as my collection is out of control.

I don't blame ya! I keep talking myself out of CS :p
Lol, I was too! Any excuse, buuut it still came home lol. I keep talking myself out of SR just because I have so many purples but Pin Up Purple is SO pretty. Like I love it on my skintone, it's not ashy looking. <3

Stay away Crissy lol!(

) Are you able to make versatile looks? I was worried the blue and black might end up looking the same on me...But I am a blending newb...

Super pretty. RR suits you well. Love the bangs.
Today I was running super late to work so I took my makeup with me. One of my coworkers in the most loving of ways told me I looked like hell, so within a few intervals in the stockroom, I was able to freshen myself up.

Sorry for the lack of photo quality, but here is my big debut of Ronnie Red. I also have Designer Purple. I have never used the Pearlglide Intense Eye Liners before, and they are like butter. I have to remember to take it easy when applying them.

I saw you had SR earlier (I'll find the post later =P), are you able to make a lot of diff looks? I'm a fan of looks like this, like light contrasting into the dark? I looove, tho I have no blending skills. =/ I'm worried they might come out looking the same with the blue color & black color with Pin up purple and Spoiled Rich.

Can I have someone's advice please I'm a NC15 would you say I'm best skipping on Prom Princess with how pigmented it is or would you say personal prefrence. I do have pink blushes such as Pink Swoon, Well Dressed, Peony petal and Love Cloud.

Freak, seeing this picture now brings out the wallet. GND looks SO gorgeous on you!! I wonder if you go a few shades darker how would GND look on NC50...
I live in NYC and picked up a few of the lipsticks. I picked up Ronnie Red, Daddy's Little Girl, Betty Bright and Girl Next Door. I made lip swatches for them with the exception of Betty Bright but it looks a lot like Costa Chic on me but with an almost matte finish instead. For reference I wear NC42.

i'm NC15 too, I only skipped it because when I put all these hot pink blushes on me so lightly they kinda all look the same in the end.

i don't think you should skip it for pigmented reasons, just go light handed with it but if it's going to look the same on you as the others you mentioned than i'd skip it. Maybe swatch a few on your hand before you go to the store to compare them?

Thank You <3

see I don't have a hot pink blush but then I'm not too keen on Dollymix on me so I don't think i'll be keen on that I don't know. I'm probably best ordering what I definitely want when it releases on the UK site then when it's released in the store a week later I'll check the prom princess out there so then I can see if i definitely like it or not. So want CS but I have Immortal Flower, hopefully there's some differences in them both together.

I'm wearing the Shop & Drop quad from Shop Cook collection. I'm wondering if Power Boosted looks anything like Spoiled Rich. Can anyone compare the two?
