FOTD 10/1/2011 – Fall Inspired

Posted on October 2, 2011 by pugmamastace| 1 Comment

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 Haul October 1, 2011

Posted on October 1, 2011 by pugmamastace| 1 Comment

Hello all you lovelies! I had some fun at MAC this week, and thought I’d share the loot with ya! I got two of the new Pro Longwear eyeshadows-Hot Paprika and Plush. I also got two eyeshadows for my pallettes-Naked Lunch and Twinks. They are all beautiful! I also got a new 15 color eyeshadow pallette. I took out the dividers so I can make it my random sized eyeshadow pallette. I got a new foundation-Studio Fix Fluid in NC30. I thought it might be a little too dark, but it ends up blending in very well with my skin, and makes me look tanned like the rest of my body. I got Silver Dusk Iridescent loose powder by the recommendation of Kandee Johnson. I have been wanting it for awhile now. I have the cream colorbase in Shell, so I’ll be putting a bit of Silver Dusk on top to set it as a highlight. Does anyone have any other ideas for uses of Silver Dusk? Leave a comment below :-) Here are the pics!

My New Random Pallette – Top left is Pewter from Stila that I got in my Birchbox a few months ago. Middle Left is a sample from Ulta by Urban Decay – I think it is the StarDust eveyshadow, or something like that. It’s supposed to be glittery without any fallout. To the right around Hot Paprika are Expensive Pink and Paradisco by MAC.

Latisse time! Join Me During This Experiment :-)

Posted on September 7, 2011 by pugmamastace| 2 Comments

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!

EOTD-June 27th, 2011 – Swish with Glitter and Black Liner

Posted on June 28, 2011 by pugmamastace| 1 Comment

Here is my EOTD for today. I used Swish from MAC on the lid, and a white, lightly shimmered highlight from WnW (at the top of one of the three color pallettes). I used a purple glitter liner from NYX on the top, and Stila Smudgestick in Stingray on the waterline.I set it with a matte black eyeshadow.  Then, I used “They’re Real” by Benefit for my mascara.It was my 100 point gift from Sephora this past weekend.  Might I say that I am VERY impressed by this mascara, and might get it in the full size!  Enjoy!

MAC Surf the Ocean Pigment Stack

Posted on June 12, 2011 by pugmamastace| Leave a comment

(Pardon my sunburnt nose :-)   )

I finally got it! I am so excited! I got the pigment stack from MAC called Surf the Ocean from their Surf Baby Collection that was released for the summer. It comes with a gold, silver, dark almost navy blue, and a sea green frost. I was just playing around with a few of the colors. There is a little bit of the navy pigment in the crease, and the silver pigment foiled with some Fix + on the lid. I wasn’t even trying very hard, so I can’t imagine how beautiful these colors will be when I actually do a real look. Let me know if you have this, or it’s sister stack of pinks, etc. How do you like it? Is this something you are planning on purchasing?
