Why thank you Meka! I'm looking forward to Smokey Eye week in November!! YOUR posts have now become my bedtime stories

I should grab some milk & a few cookies and I'll be all set! You know my first thoughts about the makeup bandit were 1) is she on Specktra? & 2) did all this enabling drive her to that?


I don't always makeup in the best lighting because I'm in a hurry, or whatever but I've gotten in the car on a few occasions, looked in the mirror and nearly screamed.

yep. been there. the lighting in my room is currently very dependant on natural light conditions, so i usually have to remember to go look in the bathroom mirror before leaving the house.

i'll try to do some pink tomorrow, for sure!!

i forget mascara from time to time as well, and i find when i do it's super noticeable (to me anyway). a long time ago i use to never wear mascara, but i'm not sure how i got by...but then, i often feel that way now about blush too. i only started wearing it a few years ago, and all of a sudden my makeup collection EXPLODED!

yay for the smoky eye week! looking fwd to it.
the eye look you've described sounds interesting...is it really a stark contrast? i'm always so scared to use white eyeshadow on my skin..which one do you use for this look?

that's the same carbon i have to this day. i don't think i can ever finish it, unless i do fully black lids every day for one year.
i ended up with another in the mickey contractor quad, and i don't mind it in there. i usually only use it to set eyeliner or do a soft liner, so i haven't really got much to complain about...except that they could switch it up in palettes for the sake of variety!!!

your looks sound really pretty. i'm inspired to use smut and shag...and i ended up looking up those kat von d lipsticks, so i guess i might eventually give one of those a whirl too.
is bachelorette a little similar to love goddess, or not really?


cute! and love the shoes!
lol! the infamous audacious lipsticks!

wow that lady looks totally 80's...i wonder if the lighting had anything to do with it?
you know my thought looking at that photo was 'is this what the youtube videos are going to do to all of us?'

anyway, i guess the crime's shoplifting and not so much the blending, but funny how the makeup can be so distracting.

What a rewarding thing you're doing Aradhana!!! That's really pretty special!!

I think Smokey Eye Week will be a fun week. In the look that I described I use MAC's White Frost or Gesso. I found White Frost easier to work with.

I got caught up in the audacious lipstick craze but put the brakes on before I did too much damage.

those meteorites pearls look beautiful! are they awesome as they look? i have one set, can't recall which ones but they are not LE. i was wondering if the difference is noticeable enough for me to justify another set....? last year i almost bought the pressed version of them...but then i told myself to run from the store!
it was a bit like that moment when you're online shopping and you look at your cart full of random things, so you step away from the browser....sometimes i get emails from sites to remind me to come back and purchase the stuff i left in my cart...!

I am having skipper's remorse over this. Umm, y'all, I need some support. If there is stock left when I get off work I think I NEED bu's of SiS, LVER, DG and maybe FR (it gives me Plum Dandy life in matte form!) Someone tell me no.

NO, NO, NO Sage-----because next week they'll be other fabulous lipstick to buy. I suspect that by
the time you see this it will be too late. If I am too late and you did buy them---oh what the hell...just
ENJOY them!!!

I only got one---SIS.

I think I missed this part of your question before Aradhana---The white and black shadows are blended
together a bit in this look but it's a small area of contrast that makes the look unique. I also forgot to
mention that I sometimes substitute a soft pink eyeshadow or the white.

It was not too late...I was able to pass , with great strain, two malls with three MAC locations on the way home yesterday. I dreamt about them last night. I am held hostage by my love for lipstick! OK let me go put on a face for the day lol...
