Maybelline Charcoal Smokes

So....... I know I am probably the last person to get this quad but my Wal-Mart hasn't had it in stock for sooo long and then I went to Target and the only one they had was broken :( I finally got my hands on one and I was, and still am, ecstatic! I have heard mixed reviews on these quads, some people say they aren't pigmented so I didn't expect much, hence only getting one, but the only shadow in here that isn't very pigmented is the lid color which is on my pinky. I had to swipe it several times to get that color, but its a really pretty taupe color which I have wore on its own. You can build it up to a quite nice taupe with a good primer and some patience :) The others, as you can see, are quite pigmented. These are not the softest shadows so maybe that's why people are disappointed but for me, its not a big deal. This quad was $4.94 at wal-mart so really you can't beat that! It was a pretty good deal in my opinion and makes an amazing smokey eye. The silver color is a hi-light but in my opinion using that as a hi-light takes away from the smokey eye look and starts to go overboard a bit, but none the less it is a pretty color that you could replace with the lid color even for a silver smokey eye instead of a more taupe colored one. I will be taking this quad with me on my vacation this weekend so I can do a variety of looks and not have to pack my whole eyeshadow drawer lol. I will also be picking up a few more of these and you guys should too! lol. Have you tried these? Which is your fav???

MAC To The Beach

MAC "To The Beach" Collection

Lazy Day Lipstick

Hello lovelies! I recently purchased a couple of things from the "To The Beach" collection and I wanted to share them with you! I know this is kind of "old news" now but when I order online it takes a week or more to get here :( Anyways, onto what I bought! I had originally planned on not buying any lipsticks but after seeing so many swatches of Lazy Day lipstick and the packaging, I couldn't resist! I love light pink lips and I have never been a fan of MAC's lustre lipsticks until I purchased Viva Glam Gaga and Cyndi. Now to the color, its not as bubblegum pink as it shows up in the picture above but it is much more muted and sort of a mauvey light pink. Very natural and easy to pull off. Does anyone have Hue lipstick, is this similar?

Get Away Bronze Blush

Now for the blush! I tend to stray away from strong blushes. I have a let of redness on my face and I feel like most blushes bring that out more so I try to stick with neutral colors. When I saw this I had to have it, a bronze blush, perfect and unlike anything I have! I have a really hard time with bronzers being too red or too orange for my skin and some oxodize and turn colors so I am very picky and I was nervous about this for that reason! This is a nice rosy bronze. I have used it as an all over bronzer but its a bit too rosy so I do like this as a blush. It works better when I have a tan, obviously, but none the less its a nice color for summer. Overall I am very pleased with my purchases. I tried to contain myself and buy only what I KNEW I would use. I wanted Splashing lipgloss but I never use gloss so I passed on that and the other item I was eyeing was Life's a Breeze lip pencil and I may order that sometime soon, I think it would be a perfect match to the Lazy Day lipstick.

What did you guys get from the collection?

New Years!!!

This post is a little late I suppose. This was taken new years eve. I was going out with some friends to a club here in my town and all I can say is so much for hair and make-up! The club was PACKED and it was soooo hot in there that after an hour or so I was sweating like CRAZY!!! Don't you hate that??? I didn't expect that so I had my usual heavy make-up on and a can of hairspray in my hair so when I started sweating I felt like I was melting! lol. I guess maybe that's a sign that I should go lighter on the accessories, huh? lol. Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful new years eve and that 2010 is just as good for you!!!

Hey guys......this was just a little photoshoot I did last night and I though I would share it with you all. I am very into the whole, vintage, retro, 50's look but I will have more photos up later :) Have a good weekend guys!!!
