FOTD 10/1/2011 – Fall Inspired

Hello Lovelies! Here is my FOTD from yesterday. First, I primed my eyelids with UDPP, and then with MAC’s paintpot in Genuine Treasure (just up to the crease.) Then, I used MAC’s Jealousy Wakes on the inner lid, and Twinks on the outer half. I used Cork in the crease to blend, then Kid just above the crease as a transition color. I used Blanc Type as my highlight. For eyeliner, I used MAC’s Fluidline in Dipdown on my waterline. I used a light peach frosty blush from L’Oreal’s new Project Runway Collection, and Cover Girl’s TruBlend loose powder bronzer as a contour. As a cheek highlight, I used MAC’s cream colorbase in Shell, set with Silver Dusk. On the lips, I used Jordana liner in Sugary Bronze, Wet N Wild’s matte lipstick in 912C, and MAC’s lipglass from the Wonder Woman Collection called Secret Identity. I love fall, and the colors that it tends to bring out. I would love to see pics of fall inspired looks that you’ve put together! Leave a comment below and let me know what you think!

MAC and Sephora Hauls coming soon…

Hello All!

I have a MAC and Sephora haul coming very soon. I will also be doing a progress check on my lashes. I have been using Latisse for almost a month now, so we’ll have to compare the before and now pics. Talk to you all soon!

MAC Posh Paradise Paint Pots

Happy Friday! I was able to get my hands on three of MAC’s limited edition paint pots from their Posh Paradise collection! I got Genuine Treasure, Idyllic, and Treasure Hunt. I have swatched them all for you, and put a similar eyeshadow over each of them. I am impressed, and might even go back to buy more :-) . Here they are!

Latisse time! Join Me During This Experiment :-)

Hi Everyone! I know it has been SO long since I have posted on my blog. I have been really busy, and am trying to get it going again. I went to my dermatologist’s office today to address complexion issues. After my appointment, I got into a conversation with some of the girls at the office about Latisse, and how much they liked it. My main concern was the possibility for iris pigmentation changes. Since I have light blue eyes, this concerned me; and has been the only issue preventing me from trying it. The girls told me that they have never seen it happen, and that the rep (for Allergan)  said it wasn’t a big concern. It actually says in the package insert that it did not happen in the trials. After having my concern addressed, I decided to give it a try. I will show some before pics from tonight (the night of my first application), as well as during and after pictures. I will also let you guys know if I experience any of the side effects, such as itchy and red eyes. So far so good :-) . I hope you enjoy!

BEFORE:

Pardon the lack of makeup, but that’s the point. I want you to see what my lashes look like “au natural.”  I’ll show some mascara pics after I’ve seen noticeable changes. Let me know if any of you out there have used Latisse, and what your experience was/has been like!
