Keyshia Cole BET Awards 2008 Tutorial

I won 2nd place in a makeup contest on YouTube last summer.

The Cat Eye & Get 'Em Girl RED Lips

I really need practice on perfecting the "cat eye" technique. I think I'm pretty good w/ liquid liner, but it is a challenge for me to get both eyes to look the same.
My eyes & brows slant downward, so it poses a particular obstacle for me to "get it right". I've followed the advice of countless YouTube Makeup Gurus following the lower lashline to slant up & then filling in. UGH! I'm still a work in progress. Anyway! I had fun this morning working out my look. Of course, I had to throw on my Bali Girl to complete the look. LOL

L'Oreal HiP Matte Eyeshadow Duos

Just in for a limited time only, L'Oreal HiP has released new matte eyeshadow duos. I have only picked up 2 so far. I got them last week on a CVS bogo
(buy 1 get 1 50% off)grrr

L'Oreal HiP ANIMATED


Coastal Scents White (from 88 palette)


Coastal Scents Blue (from 88 palette)


L'Oreal HiP PERKY


Coastal Scents Green (from 88 palette)


Coastal Scents Dark Purple (from 88 palette)


Someone asked,
"If you own the 88 palette, is it worth it to invest in the HiP Matte duos?"
Ummmm yeah! LOL I've recently become disenchanted with the staying power of my 88 palette. I do love the colors. But it seems as if they fade after only a couple of hours of wear. The HiP colors seem to have longer staying power & better blend ability.

Ck. Out my swatches

CS 88 Palette Top Row
L'Oreal HiP Bottom Row


CS 88 Palette


There are 6 matte duos available, as well as 3 new metallic shades. I haven't been able to find them anywhere but CVS though. I just found out they have them @ Ulta!

MAC COLOUR-CRAFT Mini-Haulage

Mineralize Eye Shadow spun into a stylish pinwheel pattern of four shades to provide contrasting and complementary colours in a range of glitter, pearl or shimmering mineralized finishes. Limited edition.
2.2 g / 0.07 US OZ
US $19.50

I picked up the Mineralized Eye Shadow Quad in NATURAL FLARE!
It's a winner! A lil' on the chunky side, so beware if you are not a fan of the "glitterific".

NATURAL FLARE swatches!


Advantages over dupes:
- The MAC e/s has longer staying power than any of the dupes. However if you use a good base & perhaps even a mixing medium to foil the colors, you may have a similiar effect.
- It is really convenient to have all 4 colors in 1 compact container.
Minerals are great for our skin & protect us from the harmful rays of the sun.

Short on Cash?
Consider these dupes...

Messy but the color is pretty close! $1.00 each!
