No pics today

That's ok. I didn't take any and now I am getting ready to go to bed. I had an 8 am con call this morning. I thought for 1 second, i could just take a quick snap. Then I realized that there is no quick snap with me. So that is that.

ok i am tired..later..

Peach and Purple

Yesterday was more peachy today more purple...

Yesterday I experimented with MAC Paradisco and Cranberry, trying to recreate the look my new MAC freelance buddy AG gave me. She was using some other colors I don't have that I really want, particularly Coppering. MAC is having a 25% off sale for the next day or so, so I am in heavy debate about buying some stuff. Although I really should be spending that money more wisely, since it is clearly not a necessity. Anyway back to the look. I used some stuff out of my Coastal Scents 88 Shimmery Palette. I gave the matte one to my sister then had to rebuy it. So I am waiting on that delivery. I love shimmer..lol..

Anyway, I still didn't get it quite right, although I am still pleased with the outcome. Also my eyebrows are in really rough shape so I have been giving them quite a bit of assistance to make them look decent.

Today I used less MAC and more Coastal Scents Shimmer. So there are too many colors to name because I started out with blueish green and it didn't have enough pigment too it, then I was like, ok why not try brown, again I didn't like, so then i tried a violet on top of it and I was happy. So I will never be able to create this exact color again, but oh well..lol. I have it in a picture.

I don't have any pics from monday because I had a 6:30 am flight from NY to Raleigh. I felt tired and didn't want to take apic although, I probably could have.. I had on a nice shade of blue. This weekend I was busy with my new neice and my family in NY. So excited about that. I had a date which ended horribly, but I won't go into that, but I spruced myself up for that one. I should have taken a pic, it was blue too, to match my shirt. Oh well, next time.

I will say that dating has been interesting, so much excitement then disappointment when things don't go as planned, then excitement again. I have had some good ones and Lord knows I have had some bad ones. But I am really enjoying the experience over all. Ok enough of that..

I am going to try to think up something different to do tomorrow..

Not my best day...but thats ok

So today i look a little tired...but this morning was the first day i used my de-potted eye shadows in my 15 eyeshadow palette. Inspired by one of my girls I used Paradisco, then Cranberry Retrospeck, Shroom, Mulch, and Bamboom paint.

MAC Day!

As much as I would like to take credit for this, because it is fantastic, one of my girls a newly hired MAC makeup artist, was practicing on me the night before her interview.



Fabulous job!

Starting Eye of the day - Smokey

So I decided that I am going to use my blog as a way to chronicle my current interest in makeup and fashion. Since I am not using it to ramble on about my life. Although there is church, work, dating, family, and friends to go on about. I just can't seem to bring myself to get on here, so this daily upload of my eye's and outfit might just be it. Since I do it everyday..for other reasons..don't ask.

OK so here is today, that is what we will start with today..the smokey eye..

Also, I am going to backtrack all the eye pics I took of the past couple of weeks. I did 4 or so already, the rest later.

Pink Eye..

Although I was wearing browns today, I decided to depart from being matchy-matchy, which I had started doing and just go with a feeling..and this day it was pink..

I am deciding if I am going to post my outfit too.. hmm..

Lime Greeny

So.. I tried to recreate the birthday look with a more limey-type feel..



Once again.. I was pleased.

My Birthday

So June 1st is my birthday, and I decided to go for my absolute favorite color which is green. I wish I new exactly what I did here, but it is literally impossible for me to replicate any of these looks. But I was really happy with the outcome!

I also had a bit of help in the lash department, courtesy of MAC #7's.
