Aww thank you for the compliment!! I just used to watch loads of Youtube videos and practice a lot. (One of my faves is Beatfacehoney) The brush you use can make or break your application though.
We love when you're silly!

lol. It was an appropriate bunch of lip products because I didn't give a damn because of work yesterday.

I'm getting desperate and I have quite a setup. I should be able to manage things comfortably but they're getting out of control because I keep adding things
I'm just the opposite. I have so many thing I've not yet worn. I should just go for it!!!!

Happy Friday to you too!! I had a busy day at work but I'm looking forward to play in my makeup tomorrow. I'm going through all my eyeshadow palettes and swatching and taking pics so I don't dupe myself too much in the future. I want to pick up a Viseart palette, some MUFE artist shadows and hopefully one or two CT palettes at IMATS. I also want a Sugarpill palette but I don't need it lolHappy Friday everyone!!!
I hope you have a GREAT weekend!!!
Today I wore red for Heart Health Day---MAC Prepare for Pleasure (Magenta Red) Divine Night collex w/MAC Trust in Red lip pencil.
I had such a fun makeup day today. I woke up early (quelle surprise!) so I did an eye look mostly with a LE Bareminerals Ready Eyeshadow quad called "The Wild Thing". I've inserted a pic of the palette below. It's such a gorgeous palette and shows true to colour in the pic except that the colours have a slight duo-chrome that the photo doesn't do justice to. I used the two shadows in the right-hand column for my lid with the blue near the outer "v" and the put a dark brown in the crease for a light smoke-out. I'm falling in love again with my Revlon Photoready liquid foundation. I swear no foundation I own matches my skin like it. I also filled in my lips with MAC's Cranberry lip pencil and topped it off with MAC's lipglass in Bijou. I almost always use this BH Cosmetics 26 color neutral eyeshadow and blush palette for lazy day looks but hardly ever use the blushes. On a whim I tried this dusty rose blush and fell in love with it. It went back with the lipglass and lip pencil so well. I have to use it more often and may try to see if NARS or another HE brand has a similar colour even though the pigmentation in this blush is pretty good for a $10 palette lol.

I love palettes that have unique shades that I would never think to put together. Palettes like that always become my favorites. Sounds like you're shopping your stashHappy Friday to you too!!

I am swimming in eye shadow palettes. They're my favourite thing and I'll probably never stop buying them so at least I can try to buy smarter (whatever that's supposed to mean

Hello and Happy Friday to all! I've had to keep my eyes closed every time I come here, because there's just too much temptation. Now I desperately want to try the Givenchy palettes...
I have managed to make it through the first week of February still without repeating a lipstick, but I can feel my resolve weakening, particularly with regard to some of my Nars Audacious lipsticks that I haven't gotten the love that they deserve yet. Here's the list of pretties I wore this week:
Feb. 1- Guerlain Rouge G Rouge Parade
Feb. 2- Mac Rue d'Bois (this was from the European version of the Euristocrats collection. No idea why it wasn't released here.)
Feb. 3- Rouge d'Armani Sheer #600 Bitten
Feb. 4- Nars Audacious Vera (my newest acquisition... so very happy with her!)
Feb. 5- Guerlain Kiss Kiss Cherry Pink
Feb. 6- Bite Beauty "Flora Mundi" (This is a custom colour I had made for me when the Bite traveling lab came to town. The name is a sort of personal in joke.)
Here's a pic of the special Bite colour I had made. If they visit a Sephora near you, I highly recommend checking it out. The formula is excellent and while it might not be as detailed as going to the permanent Lip Lab in NYC, it is really fun being able to come up with your very own shade.
I will say that while I'm being good about rotating my lipsticks, I have been playing favourites when it comes to eyeshadows. I wore Armani Emeraude twice this week and I've been wearing Rose Ashes at least once a week since I got it.
