MAC CHAM PALE & STYLISHLY YOURS

Happy [late] New Years everyone! I hope everyone had a great and safe new years :)

I had a ton of fun hanging out with friends and family and getting my drank on. What did you gals do?

Here's my face, in case you forgot. I'm sure no one forgot, haha!

I was looking back onto this FOTD and the sun kinda washed out my makeup! I know I looked somewhat dramatic during the day when I went shopping. I'm wearing the Dashing Lassies Palette (Holiday 2010), Stereo Rose MSF (In The Groove 2010), and Feelin' Good TLC (Warm and Cozy 2010). It was really pretty and lightly smoky, I promise!

You know, I totally skipped my Tartan Tale haul because I thought I lost my camera?? I tried to record it on my laptop but the audio was being a shithead and totally didn't even go through so I didn't post it.

I don't have to beat the crowd to see MAC collection releases anymore! (Thank goodness.) My MAC lady lets me see everything before it releases and then I presale it so I have first dibs on it!

from Cham Pale

• Rose Ole Special Reserve Highlight Powder
• Calm Mode TLC SPF 15 + Lavender (exact dupe for Feelin' Good TLC, just a different scent due to the lavender)
• I Get No Kick Kohl Eye Pencil
• Chilled On Ice Paint Pot
• Let Me Pop Paint Pot
• Vintage Selection Paint Pot
• Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot

from Stylishly Yours

• Follow Your Fancy Pigment
• Madly Personal Pigment
• New Fixation Pigment
  

The paint pots is the highlight of this collection for me! I really love bases like this :) These paint pots are very different from the usual MAC paint pots. Some reason they seem more like the Asian Cream Shadows because they're more glittery and sheer although the color is definitely buildable!

I couldn't turn down the pigments I didn't own because I am a pigment collector! I haven't really touched them or the ones from Venomous Villains but I just love using pigments. The highlight powder is really nice too. The shimmers aren't too chunky and not overly shimmery. I use it to highlight my cheekbones when I wear pink or peach blush!

I also really like the eye liner too! It's a nice precision highlighter with no brushes necessary to use ^_^. Just need your fingers to blend it in. The TLC is pretty much my backup for the Feelin' Good one because it's the same color but I'm not too fond of the scent so hopefully when I whip it out I'll adjust to it.

I have a couple more things to show you that I hauled. Here's a hint, it's a cream shadow! ^_^

My New Years [beauty] resolution:
Blog more often, or quit blogging all together!
Yes, I know it's pretty sad but I'll figure it out by the end of the year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hello beauties!

I'm sure you can all tell by the title this isn't a beauty-related post. It's Christmas over in Texas and it's wet & rainy. Just wanted to swing by this blog thing and wish you all a Merry Christmas and have a safe New Year! I'll make a post before then though :)

I leave you with my hat... with built in gloves! hehe, it's super cute :)

WET&WILD HOLIDAY PALETTES

Hello girls! My, oh my has it been a minute! I've got great news :)... well great for me but I don't know about you. My mom just got out of surgery today and this is the last week of the fall semester so after this week I'm going to be so relieved and not stressed anymore! *PHEW* Also, I am not taking any wintermesters this year so I'll have some time for real updates (hopefully).

I will start you off with a picture of me & my boyfriend. We were at one of my girlfriend's birthday dinner on the freezing cold rooftop! That was a CRAZY night. My friends (2) got high, my other friend (1) had a hit and run.. on her fault, my other other friend (1) got mistaken identity for causing a fight, then my other other other friends (5) got their car searched. LOL, it was a fun but crazy night and my boyfriend got super drunk and threw up everywhere and I got harassed by some dude. GROSS... Anyway, here we are before all the alcohol! ^_^

I'm wearing Kat Von D Painted Lipstick in.... (forgot the name but it's a slightly deep red). Lasting power is very good and I only had to touch up after dinner from the pesto I had and then one time at the club! It was a little drying but that might be because I didn't apply any gloss over it and I tried not to lick my lips so that it'll last longer, lol.

I recently picked up the Wet&Wild holiday palettes. I had to go to 2 different Walgreens to find these and I got the last ones! :D I already own the four other palettes they have so I knew these were super pigmented before I even bought them. These are well-worth the $4.99 I spent and apparently my Walgreens didn't keep the 50% sale because it was "limited edition". GRR, what the fuck!! Whatever though it was still really cheap :)

Sugar Plum Fairy Palette & Violet Eyeliner

Snow Sprite Palette & Silver Eyeliner

Night Elf Palette & Black Eyeliner

Golden Goddess Palette & Gold Eyeliner

Sorry there's no swatches! It was really hard to even photograph it with my shitty camera so I had to pass on posting up swatches at all. I'll be doing looks with these and probably get them posted in a month or so :) haha! I'll also go through my eyeshadow collection and see if they're dupes for any higher end shadows so maybe you can scoop 'em up before they're gone.

Hope you enjoyed this post! No one probably reads this anymore but if you do I hope this helps :)

MAC VENOMOUS VILLAINS HAUL + WEBCAM SHOT

Howdy y`all :)

No I really don't say that in person though. I think I would sound like a ditzy "valley" girl trying to say that... haha, you've all heard my voice right? ^_^

Today I'm featuring my SUPER late Venomous Villains haul from MAC Cosmetics. I went and got it on September 30 and my MAC ladies threw in this free patent leather purse/tote-ish thing. It sounded cooler over the phone but in person... it was like "holy crap that's shiny!" I think I will just keep it in my room to hold things :)

I got all the nail polishes (left to right; bad fairy, formidable, and mean&green), pigments (push the edge, brash&bold), the cruella lipstick (heartless), magically cool liquid powder (truth&light), and a beauty powder blush (briar rose).

Not too many things, but I still spend a shitload lol.

Here's a sneak peek at my makeup station! ^_^ the top-right drawer of my MALM is filled with makeup. It starting to topple over so now I gotta reorganize and sell some away :( BOO! I'll do my collection video one day.. soon hopefully?

So that's it for today! lol, I got a SHIT ton of stuff from the sephora friends & family sale.. eek! Stay tuned for that :)

HALLOWEEN + 2 FOTDS

HELLO! I've been gone for a while now... a month and a half I think?? I've been swamped with school (sorta) but since I got bored for 2 days out of my week I picked up a second job at a local Subway! LOL.. yeah so I'm not sure if I'm really swamped with school if I got that bored BUT after I picked up a second job my whole week is filled with an agenda so that means I'm soooooo not motivated to blog! Plus, no one requests anything since hardly anyone stops here anymore, haha!

Here's what I was for halloween :) .... can you guess although my crown is cut off and I'm covered by my nephew?

I was Princess Peach! My boyfriend was Mario but he was already dj-ing at a party and I got totally drunk when I got there so we didn't get a picture. This is actually the only picture of the night I took that I have access to LOL.. and don't you think my nephew has gotten big since my last post :D he's two months now ^_^

***

This is a look I did between the time I've been gone from blogging and currently. I'm sure it was before it started to cool down in Texas because I'm sporting a tank top!

In this look, I used MAC Zingy Eyeshadow (on the outer V) from the Dare to Wear collection from wayyy back when! The color is so GORGEOUSS... but what other looks can I do with it??? It's so bright, and blue!

Please excuse the broken lip! That's why there's no lipstick because I was wearing lip balm :)

***

I wore this look out to my friend's birthday dinner. It was simple because it was just a bunch of neutrals but dramatic because of the smokiness and lashes :D btw, I'm wearing the same lashes as the previous look which are ardell demi wispies :) my favorite!

Nothing on my lips once again because I was still at home and haven't put anything on yet! I think I just threw on some nudy pink lipgloss :)!

I used MAC Naked Pigment & NARS Mekong Eyeshadow and a whole sheeetload of blending lol. Not so sure about the highlight but I know it's a matte off-white shade ^_^

***

Well that's all for now! Hopefully I get back in the flow of blogging and any requests are welcomed because then I'll feel more obliged to blog :D Have a beautiful day/night everyone!
