ICE QUEEN

Yes, I KNOW it's August. LOL I just had to think cool thoughts, as we are in the middle of a HEATWAVE during these last dog days of summer! Enjoy! & stay cool!

This was for a LASHES contest in which I participated
on YouTube for MadeYouLookMakeup

PEACOCK

I LOVE Peacock Feathers. I recently acquired some of these beauties from my local Ashley Stewart. You can find some like them @ my friend Candiecc from YouTube's website.

I did this look for a contest on YouTube. I was wearing a smaller pair of peacock feather earrings. I enjoyed making the video. I prefer to just get to business with the makeup, but she wanted us to chat it up. LOL

BETTER SWATCHES (Jesse's Girl Baked Eyeshadow Powder)

LOVELY!

Many have inquired as to whether the baked shadows would be available online for purchase. I sent Cathy from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics an email & she said,
"Our new Baked Eyeshadows will be available at some point in the near future...not sure exactly when yet. I'm sure we will announce it via an e-mail to those signed up on our website."

If you'd like to be kept in the loop, please sign up for their email updates.

Check out kokofemme's EXCELLENT review on YouTube.

Jesse's Girl Baked Powder Eyeshadow (UPDATE)

Swatches


I was able to get a few more colors to round out my collection.

NIGHT VISION


MOON BEAM


SKYWALKER


GOLDEN MEADOW


CHERRY BLOSSOM


I still didn't pick up the cream with gold because they were all shattered.
This is a very delicate product. I think they should seriously take a page from MAC & add a protective shield to cover the dome of the baked shadow. My Skywalker was a casualty on the way home. Fortunately, the exchange was hassle free. If you do consider purchasing these, please be very careful when you place them in your purse.

MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow - Sea & Sky
with Protective Plastic Cover


I was EXTREMELY impressed with the quality & pigmentation. I even compared them to my MAC Sea & Sky Mineralized Eyeshadow. Sorry MAC, Jesse's Girl is WAY MORE PIGMENTED! A steal @ $3.99. Be FORWARNED, they are VERY FRAGILE! These are limited edition & I have not even seen them on their website yet. So snatch these up while you can!

Jesse's Girl Baked Powder Eyeshadow

YAY! I had hoped they'd come out with these eventually. I was only able to buy 2 today, but I'm definitely going back for more in a day or 2!

Golden Meadow


Cherry Blossom (shows promise as a dupe for MAC Mineralized Blush!)


They are HIGHLY Pigmented! Swatches coming really soon.
I have to find my other camera.
The pics I took didn't come out well.

They had other colors as well.
All but one had gold marble!

Light Teal
Dark Blue
Black (silver marble)
Cream

$3.99 each! 3.8 grams of shadow but about the same size packaging as a
MAC Mineralized e/s (2.2grams).


Side by side w/ the Color My World Baked Eyeshadow (Tungsten Lighting)


Let me know if you see these in your area.

NARS BLUSH vs. drugstore brands

I was very pleased with my previous blush/highlighter/bronzer purchase, so I decided
to invest in some wishlist NARS Powder Blushes to see what all the hype was about.

NEW members of my blush collection include:

NARS Crazed
NARS Exhibit A
NARS Taj Mahal


These come highly recommended from many in the Makeup Community on YT.
The shades I selected were reported to be especially flattering on darker skin tones. I wear MAC NC50 Select SPF.

I hear that NARS blushes are universally flattering on all skin tones. They are highly pigmented, so please build application slowly. I suggest using a fanbrush or a duo fiber brush so as not to apply too much product.

I found the level of pigment saturation to be superb. The texture of the blush is of the superfinely milled! However. When comparing to drugstore blushes I already own I found that the e.l.f. brand closely resembled the final result.
Of considerable note, an outstanding difference is I only needed to do one swipe of product for NARS & three of the other brands to get the equal intensity of pigment. The e.l.f. has slightly more shimmer. If you are on a budget, I recommend investing in the e.l.f. products. Perhaps you can treat yourself to a NARS on a special occassion.

Swatches coming soon. Plz ck back for updates!
NARS-Crazed vs. e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher-Flushed

NARS-Crazed vs. Jesse's Girl Color My World Baked Eyeshadow-Volcanic

NARS-Taj Mahal vs. e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher-Glow

NARS Powder Blush $25 vs. e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher $1
Difference $24 savings.
The Choice is yours

NK Nail Enamel with hardeners 045 Flamboyant

I tried to do this tutorial 3x now. I am not giving up. LOL
Here are some pictures from last summer (2008). I accidentally left the drawstring of my ponytail hanging out. I lost video footage because I was clueless about conversion & editing. LOL Today, I tried to redo the look. I was UNAWARE that my camera's memory card was full. LOL I was doing all that shadow work & the camera was not recording. I thought the battery died. I need GLASSES! LOL Anything like that ever happen to you?

Jesse's Girl Color My World Baked e/s (AQUA)

Love this e/s! It reminds me of MAC Sea & Sky Mineralized e/s Duo
