Mascara Fix *up

$3.99 at ULTA

and because one is never enough...


Reviewing all these will be a blast.

XS M.A.C pick *up


I dig the new M.A.C bags


Illicit was my very first M.A.C lipglass purchase many moons ago.
It's back, so I picked up two. I hear it's slightly hard to wear on some, but I still like it.
It wears...lovely for me.
My roomie turned me on to Spring Bean. It's part of the permanent collection.
Lucky me :)
Rubenesque: multi dimentional / paint pots are rad/ all over my lids wash *up






Looks psycho green on skin
On Lips: like honey :)


When Illicit got discontinued the guy at counter suggested Lust.
Not sure why.

Lust on top
Illicit on the bottom

The End for now.

Mixed Metals

French *ups on nails are classic.
But...worn on acrylics; they can look dated.
When painted on clean-slightly above the tips of fingers-all of them even nails...they keep the freshness.

My Caked*up version

Orly Rage and Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Celeb City

More on the polishes:

Both Rage and Celeb City have the "almost" perfect texture of nail polish. It's opaque in one coat. I like that. (: The tips are not taped off. It's just a simple original brush application. This is the 3rd day of wear and it's still going strong. No chips and dips yet. It might also be the top coat I used, but I'll save that for a different post. I topped the tips off with Orly's Tiara for extra sparkle. A lot of times I just don't know when to stop but it worked this time.

my ears need love too

I Bing'd this image
The same way Adele's voice hits my soul...
Fiona's lyrics slightly twists my mind. I swear it.

I've put her music way in the back the past couple of years. She kinda reminds me of my 19 year old angst.
Then Pandora played her on my Ray Lamontagne station; a new/old obsession was (re)born.

creamed yarn and squeeeeze

1. HD Lamps are a must.
2. I needed lots of gold glitter to end the work week right.
3. I needed lots of gold glitter applied messy to end the work week right.


On the nails:
a taupey color from Ulta's Shades of Gray collection
O.P.I for Sephora's Only Gold for Me
*on cuticles: Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream

It's Friday...the end.

true

Estee Lauder DayWear Plus
There is always someone that claims that the ""no-makeup" cakeup*, involves foundation.
(Now does that REALLY make sense?!)
No makeup cakeup may include DayWear Plus.
A green tinted lotion that evens out your skin tone, gives you a subtle bronze up, and is oh-so-light :)
