Snowbound in the Big Apple

This is a BE kit that I absolutely LOVE! I never realized how wearable they were together until I attempted this, and now I am in love with it. Celestine was just kinda ho-hum to me ... but with this ... LOVE it!

For future reference, anything not listed with a brand is a Bare Escentuals product.

And come on, we all know about my devotion to MAC lipsticks. Enjoy!

  2. Glad you like it. Celestine really surprised me with this one ... I totally didn't think it would show up as a crease colour. Proved me wrong!

  4. I am so glad you like it! No, not magnetic paint. I have several magnetic dry erase boards mounted on the wall (gotta love Hercules Hooks!) and then I just hot glue magnets to the back of all the colours and stick them on.

    I have them organized by kit if they came in a kit, and then by colour family if I bought the colour individually. I don't separate the liners like other people do because more often then not I use them as crease or lid colours instead of liners.

    I love my wall ... it is the only way I could keep all of those out where I can see them. Glad it intrigued you!
