I wanted to offer a short explanation as to why everything has come to a stand still. Truth is I just have alot going on and not much of it is good or happy ... so I just haven't been playing much and when I have had been so absent minded that I have forgotten to take or post the photos.
I will be updating occasionally when I can get the gumption up to do so ... but until then things will not be nearly as active here as they have in the passed. I apologize to all of you loyal followers who wait for the next post ... I would give you a regularly scheduled promise of a post of I could, but for now I just can't.
Hope all of you are out there happy and healthy and loving life ... I am not gone, just taking a bit of a needed break from the non-essentials. I adore you all ... and I am sure you know that :)

Trend
I love this quad ... I really do ... it is gorgeous. I have a thing for blues so this fit nicely ... even if it was suppose to be grey :D
As for the lipstick .. I love it in the pics but I promise you it didn't look as good in person on me. Gorgeous colour .. just not for me I don't think ... and the combination with Brick liner didn't work so I had to REALLY blend out the liner.
Enjoy!

Off the Page
This is the final look I am doing from the M/A/C collection ... Off the Page e/s is fabulous! I am not usually huge on orange but this one is great ... even if it is an almost exact dupe for Fab & Flashy. The lippies aren't bad either ... kinda nice!

Purple (pink actually ...) Shower
This is look one featuring the individual shadows from the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection ... and I really like the combo. My original plan was to use all six together ... but I just couldn't coordinate it in a way that made sense to me so I went with splitting the look instead.
My only complaint ... and it really isn't a complaint, just an observation ... is that PURPLE shower isn't purple at all ... it is pink or I am the Virgin Mary!
Enjoy!

Notoriety
This quad is a bit of a bust for me ... the highlight colour is fabulous and the darker colour is unique enough ... but the combo together is the Naked Honey collection all over again in every way. I am also not a huge fan of how orange the lippies look on me ... but the blush is great :D

In the Gallery
Lots of talk has been about how much of a bust this quad is ... and in swatches it really is disappointing. But ... I have to think that it completely redeems itself on the eyes. Yes, it could use more sparkle ... and it is totally lacking in a suitable highlight for paler chicks ... but with a little Vanilla it is gorgeous!
Enjoy!
