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)

Lips of the Day (LOTD) and Best Twistout EVER!

I wasn't happy with the angle of this pic. But the sunlight was IDEAL!
This was my first time ever using foundation all over my face including my eyelids.
I just did a quick tiny winged liner, with a bold lip.
I'm wearing Rock & Republic XRATED Contrived Powder Blush on my cheeks. *this was a gift
The star of the show is Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense #36. I was thrilled to see it was still pretty intense even after I'd eaten my lunch. IMPRESSIVE!

Line - NK Auto Liner BERRY
Fill - Amuse Lip Liner SEXY PINK
Top - MUFE #36

As you can see, I was all matchy matchy with the scarf. I just can't help myself.
I did receive a lot of compliments.
I loved how my hair turned out that day, although you can't see it well in the picture. The definition was awesome!

Do you own any of the MUFE Rouge Artist Intense Lipsticks? Which are your favorite colors?

Look Of The Day - (LOTD) - Pink Feathers

I am working to wear all of my newly acquired feather earrings.
Yes I am determined to make Spring officially come sooner, despite
low temperatures. It was drizzling and overcast today when I set out to
run a few errands. The feather earrings is on trend with the tribal trend for Spring.
I am also totally obsessed with neutral eyeshadow.














Oddly enough, my new pink feather earrings match my
Make Up For Ever #36 lipstick. I toned it down a little
with NK Auto Liner in BERRY as well as
Milani 3D Glitzy Gloss in FASHION DIVA.
This is one of my favorite looks.

Yet another neutral eyeshadow look. I can't get enough of it!
