Face Of The Day - RED LIPS

I love NYX EROS Round lipstick!
This from my hiatus period. I was wearing NARS Sheer Glow in Cadiz and Macao.

Do you own this lipstick?

Soft N Pretty Face Of The Day (FOTD)

This pic is from last winter.
I was asked to take it because I was assigned as a temporary mentor during the holiday season.
Fortunately for me, I go to work with good makeup just about everyday. (smiles)
This was before my "extreme highlight" phase.

I used
MUFE HD foundation
NARS Albatross Highlight
MAC Ripe Peach and NARS Taj Mahal blush.
On my lips I am wearing MUFE #39 and Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds lipgloss in Marquise Peach!

Neutral Everyday eyeshadow. 

Do you wear makeup to work?

MAC Prep N Prime Highlighter Bright Forecast

For about 3 months I have been following tredayy on Instagram.
I was awestruck by her highlight.
Finally I delved in and purchased MAC Prep N Prime Highlighter Pen in Bright Forecast.
It cost $25 for .12 fluid ounces. OUCH!
It has a brush tip.
I feel a little bit does go a long way.
I had to click this thing like 14 times in order for any product to finally come out!
I store this on it's side as recommended by the MUA online. 
.
I corrected my dark under eye circles with an orangey studio fix concealer.
I added a concealer 1 shade lighter than my normal skin tone. I added Bright Forecast and blended it with a damp sponge. I set it with Ben Nye Banana Powder. I added NARS Gold Highlighter from the Foreplay palette with a dual fiber small brush.
I set my entire face with Urban Decay All Nighter spray.









On first the day that I wore this outside, men were going out of their way to greet me.
I'm not promising you will get the same results when you wear this. I'm just warning you.

Do you own this product?
Would you consider purchasing it?
I would definitely purchase it again.

Minty Eyeshadow

Face Of The Day (FOTD)

My bangs are a result of a twist out. I wore my hair in a french twist on this day.

Highlight much? (LOL)





































I was inspired by a beautiful scarf I bought from JcPenney's for $4 to create this look


I love paisley!
This scarf is light weight.
It is HUGE! I can wrap my entire body in it.
It could be used as a wrap, or a sarong, a headwrap or a neck scarf.

FOTD Featuring MAC Heroine and Natural Hairstyle Side Swept Twistout

I missed out on Heroine during the first two times that MAC released it. I skipped it because I already own Violetta and it appears to be the same color, but with a different finish. I love mattes, so of course, I was a remorseful skipper.

I was delighted to know that MAC was going to re promote this color. However, I did have a bit of anxiety because more often than not, MAC releases collections earlier than they say they are going to. It has been my experience that much sought after colors are often sold out within seconds.













MAC - Heroine (Matte)

I decided to check my local Macy's department store.
I was glad I did.

















MAC - Heroine Lip Glass
 The MUA tried to upsell the lip pencil to me, but I was on a BUDGET! All three items are $15 each.
I broke down and purchased the lipstick and the lip glass. While I enjoy Matte lipsticks, I often play around with the finish. I wanted to buy the lip glass to intensify the color.
















I love the lip glass! It's so opaque!

















Note the different finishes on the comparative swatches. Which is your favorite?

Face Of The Day (FOTD) - Brrrr It's Cold!

Temperatures really dropped on the East Coast of the United States last week.
I was excited to do a full face of makeup, as the hectic holiday season previously left me tired an uninspired.

Feeling Copper - Face Of The Day (FOTD)

Blackberry Pic
Although I have really been enjoying wearing bold dark lips, I felt like playing around with my copper lippies! I went for a monochromatic look.
I'm making a more concious effort to not present the mean mug/blank stare. I'm not a model. Beauty bloggers know you have to take a bijillion pics to get the perfect one. Over time you get to know your best angles. Light is critical.

Off Topic
I will probably be upgrading to an android phone next year, albeit reluctantly. As soon as I get to know one phone, I upgrade when hubby does. One advantage of that would be the ability to do Instagram.
