Instagram Killed My Blogging Vibe

Recently, a good blogger friend of mine said this.
I wholeheartedly concur.
I have been working full time for the past few months and have had a lot less time to devote to my beauty blog. For those of you who have continued to support an encourage me behind the scenes, THANK YOU.
For those of you who have patiently awaited a post and have not unfollowed, THANK YOU!

I have tapered back my makeup spending and focused more or getting some wardrobe basics to anchor my closet. At this point, I do have way more clothes than any human being should have. If I didn't buy another stitch of clothing, I would not be naked at all.I'm focusing on weeding out unworn items and things that are too big for me. I lost about 25 pounds and have been able to maintain that weight. Although I have more weight to lose, wearing clothes that are too big are just unflattering and make one look bigger than one really is.

I bought some more earrings from LoveliiYou on etsy.
I decided to make my own.
What have you been up to lately?

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.

Lips Of The Day Featuring MAC Lavender Whip from Baked Beauties Collection

I was a remorseful skipper of MAC's 2008 Limited Edition release of Lavender Whip.
The skipping fuelled a quest for limited edition lippies ever since. I was excited to see this re-promoted in the Baking Beauties Collection. MAC tweaked the color to make it more universally flattering. I think the new color is very wearable. I still want the old one though.

My lips were stained with Make Up For Ever #15.
I'd eaten lunch. The first application also included Lip Liner. However for this pic, I just layered two swipes of Lavender Whip all over my lips.
The only thing about these kinds of shades is they make your teeth look yellow. UGH!

Lavender Whip retails for $15 US.
Cremesheen is not one of my favorite formulations because one needs to layer it several times to get the full on color. It does not last more than an hour and a half on my lips.

Line - La Splash CAFE SUAVE
Fill - MAC LAVENDER WHIP (Cremesheen)




Do you own Lavender Whip?
Do you like Cremesheen Formulation?
