For those of you who don't know what andalusite is.. its a beautiful dichroic gem (meaning it shows more than one color). In indoor light it is an olive colored gem but in sunlight it is a light brown with flashes of rusty red, purple and olive green. I love it so much I had a ring custom made...

I'm in a blue mood lately apparently.. I was running late this am and just had my camera phone with me so the clarity and color does not do this look justice. Face: Olay Complete, MAC Prep & Prime Skin, Everyday Minerals Intensive Light concealer, Meow Cosmetics Frisky Manx and Naughty Angora...

'scuse the fuzzies... took pictures before my first cup of coffee. Maybe that was a mistake. And, I had no intentions of this look ending up so dark but I like it anyway. Face: MAC Prep & Prime Skin, EM Intensive light concealer, Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss Frisky Korat and Naughty Angora...

Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can tell when my mineral powder foundation color is "just right". I've gotten myself inundated with samples from various companies, and I have a good idea when a color is way off but so many of these shades are so close to each other I'm having a really...

Holy Cow! y'all, she's wearing pink!!! Write this one down, you may not see it again for a while. LOL! I'm kidding, I'm not a huge fan of pink (the color) but it does amazing things when mixed with earth tones. This look was much pinker in person, the pictures make it look more golden. And I...

Anyone else remember that cheezy song? Ok, it was "For Your Eyes Only" but what the hey. I took these pics tonight, after a full day. I did refresh the eyeshadow colors a bit but the rest of the face looked pretty ragged so its eyes only. Once again, my favorite color combo, and I...

Hi y'all (I just saw this emoticon and thought it was hilarious) Please tell me what you think of my foundation color, I'm trying out some new mineral makeup samples, so far this is my favorite. I've been out of town for a bit over the holiday, and busy playing catch-up this week. I...

My clothes were pretty drab today so I decided to get a bit wild with the eyes. My son laughed in delight and said "mommy, you've got two different paints on your eyes" and said I looked funny. Not the ringing endorsement I was hoping for but what the heck, he's 3. Face: Olay Complete, MAC...

First, how do I get pigment samples? Are they something given, or sold at the retail counters or do I get them only from private sellers? Second.. I ordered the Pharoh and Otherworldly paintpots from MAC online and was sent two Otherworldlys. When I called to request an exchange I was sent...

I have very red hair (bright auburn really) but my brows are terminally dishwater brown. I've tried coloring them but they just don't take dye at all so I resort to filling them in. I really prefer eyeshadows for brow filler but don't have one that really suits. I've used a dark brown, which...

Can y'all tell, I love stones?? Love this look today but for some reason I can't find the pictures I took on my PC to upload them so there's only a couple. Face: Olay Complete, MAC Prep & Prime Skin, Everyday Minerals; Intensive Light concealer, Light Olive Semi-Matte foundation, Snooze Bar...

I was in a hurry this morning so I didn't get very creative but this is a nice daytime smokey look. I've noticed my skin is starting to take a toll from the dryer weather (as if its ever humid here). Sigh, I miss my summer glow. Face: MAC Prep&Prime Skin, Everyday Minerals: silk dust, light...

I was running out the door this morning and wanted to snap these photos quick. Ugh, quick doesn't do for me apparently. The camera just doesn't do this look justice, I loved it in real life! Now you all get a good look at my wrinkles. Oh, and my hair is sticking up out of both sides of my...

Ok, not sure where I was going with this look overall... I think I like it but would use a darker liner next time. I'm not sure what I think of MAC's Constructivist paint pot. In the jar it looks like a lovely, shimmery chocolate brown but on my lids it becomes more of a dark dirt brown. Not...

Oh come on, someone had to say it. Anyway, I was really happy with this look overall today. Still not thrilled with the Lumiere foundation colors I'm sampling.. they all look too chalky so its back to my Everyday Minerals. Face: Lumiere Perfecting Primer, Everyday Minerals Silk Dust...

Ahhh, I felt much better about my face today. Thanks everyone for the encouragement yesterday! Face: Lumiere Perfecting Primer,Everyday Minerals Intensive Light concealer, Lumiere Cashmere foundation in Light Golden, Everyday Minerals Natural Reflections Light finishing powder and Snooze Bar...

I tried to do a nice, soft look today but with the combo of a new foundation sample that is too light, undereye circles and I don't know what all else I just look like I'm either on drugs or haven't slept for a week. Ok, I haven't slept much for a week, but still. Ick... I'm posting this...

Flourite is a beautiful semi-precious stone that often has purple, green and blue in the same crystal. I'm really proud of this look so I included several pix. I also discovered the 'macro' feature on my camera and its made a big difference in my pictures I think. Face: MAC Prep & Prime...
