Look in A Box: Sweet Tease

I love that MAC created these ... the idea of a complete face kit is such a great concept and I am glad MAC is jumping on the bandwagon with these. This was the only one of the three where I didn't already have most or all of the stuff in it so I snatched this up. Nordie's released it early to me (even though they got that memo a little late) and I am glad I got to play today. I really love these together.

I included the side face shot so you could see the beauty that is Shell Pearl beauty powder. It is stunning ... excuse the funny face as I was explaining to a three year old that he could not go shopping without pants on :D

Enjoy!

Old Flames Die Hard

This look uses several of the new Colour Craft goodies from MAC and I liked all of them well enough. This particular MES was a bit of a pain to work with ... two of the shades just didn't have great pigmentation so I had to build and build and build ... but I do like the end result.

Enjoy!

Fergilicious ... um ... no ...

This was for this week's mirror image game at Majyk ... where we were to mimic the promo image featuring the beautiful Fergie in her ad for MAC Viva Glam VI SE lipstick.

My take on it ... can't do the whole monochrome thing but I will take any excuse I can find to where Poison Pen and Parfait Amore.

Enjoy!

Day of Reckoning

Happy 4th everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your day ... we played with makeup (as you will soon see) and then went and watched the fireworks, which were not as good as last year's but still pretty! The boys loved it for all of about five mins and then were ready to go home!

Anyways ... here is me and the girl-child (Shyenne, my 14 year old stepdaughter) in our 4th looks.

Enjoy!

Cockney

I love this lipstick ... it is such a perfect red ... really really perfect! I love it ... can't say enough how much I love it.

The rest of the look I just kind of threw together ... I got Woodwinked ... again ... first time I owned it I gave it away because it just didn't work for me, but then with the hype I decided to get it again. Meh ...

Oh yes ... and I have been messing with my hair. Bumpits ... gotta love em!

Enjoy!
