Many of the items I mention are my "holy grail" items that I purchase time and time again. You've probably seen these items time and time again on my blog but that just means I really like them. Anyway, on to my fab 5!<br />
<br />
Lancome Dual Finish Foundation Powder- I've been using this powder for years. I love that I can slap it on in the dark and it looks decent. Before giving birth last year, I definitely had this stuff on my face.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-FsDg4MvdA/T-4qSAXtlJI/AAAAAAAACJE/09Smor-kk7w/s1600/Lancome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-FsDg4MvdA/T-4qSAXtlJI/AAAAAAAACJE/09Smor-kk7w/s1600/Lancome.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- I wear this in "2" which is the yellow color. I love how it conceals and brightens my dark circles and shadows on my face. I hear it doesn't work on everyone but I'm in love with what it does for me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jhnjg5omeYc/T-4qTA0tRuI/AAAAAAAACJc/5RIaGECWx2I/s1600/YVS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jhnjg5omeYc/T-4qTA0tRuI/AAAAAAAACJc/5RIaGECWx2I/s1600/YVS.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser- I was first introduced to this by my bestie back in 2005. Ever since, it's always been in my arsenal. Sure, I stray time to time I always come back. I love how it cleans everything, including mascara, from my face. It can feel a little drying if there's any residue so make sure to rinse well. In a pinch I even use it as a makeup brush cleaner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mxBa7NQNLp0/T-4qSuNOunI/AAAAAAAACJM/--3QrxeTlSI/s1600/Purity.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mxBa7NQNLp0/T-4qSuNOunI/AAAAAAAACJM/--3QrxeTlSI/s320/Purity.png" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki- I won this brush in a contest <a href="http://productrater.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Productrater </a>put on last year. It makes foundation application easy and flawless. The brush has the right density as to not soak up too much product. It was love at first use with this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xWa_GLaNgQM/T-4qSzxq4hI/AAAAAAAACJU/sCPUEKZ_f0s/s1600/SigmaF80.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xWa_GLaNgQM/T-4qSzxq4hI/AAAAAAAACJU/sCPUEKZ_f0s/s320/SigmaF80.jpg" width="119" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener- You'd never know that I have naturally really wavy hair. This product keeps the frizzies out, protects my hair from heat damage, and keeps the straightness for days.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We didn't do too much for it since my hubs had to work over the weekend. We dressed up the little one as a dinosaur and masqueraded him at a friend's house. He didn't really put up with his costume all too long but just long enough to show off his cuteness. <br />
On to the pretty stuff. I'm always wanting to try new things so here's my current lists of wants:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Z Palette</span>: Currently I'm using MAC's palettes but after seeing Z Palettes online I really like the clear lids. One of my gripes with MAC palettes is that I have to search thru them all to figure out what I need. I hear they're made of cardboard but hopefully their construction is sturdy. You can purchase them for yourself <a href="http://www.zpalette.com/">here</a>. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TOdxmHcglzo/TrDejfrl-JI/AAAAAAAACHY/W644uN0n6sk/s1600/z+palette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TOdxmHcglzo/TrDejfrl-JI/AAAAAAAACHY/W644uN0n6sk/s320/z+palette.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer:</span> I think dark circles are starting to creep up on me a little bit (can I blame the baby???). I'm really intrigued by the design and treatment promises of this concealer. So far reviews are saying that although the sponge tip looks like something you'd be grossed out with, it actually works very well to apply concealer. It's antimicrobial so you can't get too grossed out with it. You can purchase this bad boy <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2232664&productId=xlsImpprod3490149&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80024&CAWELAID=916574255">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qIsqY3Yt3Zo/TrDekwOMm0I/AAAAAAAACHg/j07MwxmdnZM/s1600/age+rewind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qIsqY3Yt3Zo/TrDekwOMm0I/AAAAAAAACHg/j07MwxmdnZM/s320/age+rewind.jpg" width="134" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">CoverGirl Lash Perfection:</span> I'm a HUGE fan of CoverGirl Lash Blast. This promises to individualize and volumize lashes. My one gripe with original Lash Blast is it seems to wear off a little bit towards the end of the day but it's so dang cheap I don't care. You can buy this stuff for yourself <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=348597&catid=183541&aid=338666&aparam=348597&scinit1=pla&scinit2={keyword}">here</a>. <br />

Happy Labor Day everyone! This was a "lost in blogger" post back from 7/2. I figure why not post it anyway. Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
I also picked up Hocus Pocus from the <strong>Bloggers' Obsessions</strong> collection from MAC. It swatches beautifully but falls flat on the eye. To pick it up a little, I added Daliance from the Peacocky collection very lightly just to add some shimmer and depth. I loved the smoky look Hocus Pocus gave me. The Duke of Puke only gave me 20 min so be nice with your comments. I'm just impressed I'm wearing makeup!<br />

Organization is a foreign word to me. I keep all my makeup in a drawer and under my bathroom sink. It spills out and has also found it's way on top of my dressers. It's a big ol' mess. I'm really not an organized type of person. Usually things end up in piles but I know exactly where everything is in those piles. I decided I really need to clean up my makeup so I can find things a little more easily. <br />
<br />
If I had an extra $300 I'd buy <a href="http://www.theclearcube.com/index.html">the clear cube.</a> to house all of my makeup goodies. Everything would have a home and it would make me oh so happy. It would also make a great birthday gift <hint hint="">.</hint><br />

<br />
First up on the list to organize: lipstick. I found this gem of a box when searching out organizational tools online. It holds 50 lipsticks, and is like a tackle box for lippies! Now all my lipsticks can have a home. The box features plastic cut outs that fit even my big YSL lipsticks. This fits all of my MAC bullets wonderfully but it will not close if I put a MAC Lipglass into it. <br />

I thought I'd be able to shop while he slept. Haha fat chance. Midway through swatching baby boy woke up and said oh heck no. Actually, he said wah wah wah pick me up, mommy. I still was able to do significant damage as you can see.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2nMFxlEQmsk/Tlgx_q6mo_I/AAAAAAAACGc/1YHxAEdwxkE/s1600/IMG_1326.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" qaa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2nMFxlEQmsk/Tlgx_q6mo_I/AAAAAAAACGc/1YHxAEdwxkE/s640/IMG_1326.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I ended up getting the new 226 brush, Stunner Blush, Lady Grey Eyeshadow Palette, Social Lite (top) and Spirit Lipglass (bottom), Outre, Carbonized and Creamy Bisque Eyeshadows. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D7ZGgxy29YA/TlgyMuXPuWI/AAAAAAAACGg/fgA1wnOaW6w/s1600/IMG_1328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" qaa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D7ZGgxy29YA/TlgyMuXPuWI/AAAAAAAACGg/fgA1wnOaW6w/s640/IMG_1328.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Outre, Carbonized and Creamy Bisque Eyeshadows. Outre is a yellow brown that is an excellent crease color. It looks like it would be great on everyone. Carbonized, a deep brown, swatched very creamy in texture. Creamy Bisque is a pretty frosty ivory color but has sparkles like Vanilla eyeshadow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BBAtVOyUgmg/TlgyXl7Bu8I/AAAAAAAACGk/Rj861F3FdSo/s1600/IMG_1329.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" qaa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BBAtVOyUgmg/TlgyXl7Bu8I/AAAAAAAACGk/Rj861F3FdSo/s640/IMG_1329.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Stunner Blush. This is described as a light coral pink. It reminds me of Well Dressed and swatches very pretty. Honestly, I like how Well Dressed looks on me more. Stunner just looked super powdery on me. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W0_G10Q9YIQ/TlgyeBN6z9I/AAAAAAAACGo/ttfLDJnv-wA/s1600/IMG_1330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" qaa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W0_G10Q9YIQ/TlgyeBN6z9I/AAAAAAAACGo/ttfLDJnv-wA/s640/IMG_1330.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Social Lite and Spirit Lipglass. Social Lite is a very reflective neutral pink. Spirit is a muted plum brown color. Don't rush to buy Spirit since it's permanent. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOaHVGJUzzE/TlgymkuDYmI/AAAAAAAACGs/6vSLtohC51s/s1600/IMG_1332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" qaa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOaHVGJUzzE/TlgymkuDYmI/AAAAAAAACGs/6vSLtohC51s/s640/IMG_1332.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Lady Grey Eyeshadow Quad. This quad swatches beautifully. On me it looks a bit too cool. I wore it today and just felt like my eyes looked ugly. I could see this quad looking beautiful on ladies with olive skin tones, or just anyone darker than my light butt. If you're going to buy this quad, buy it for Hazy Day (mid tone grey) in the bottom right. It reminds me of a lighter colored Smoke and Mirrors. It definitely has a hint of taupe. <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">MAC Me Over is quite a big collection. Weirdly, I was the only one crowded around the three displays. I'm used to having to take turns at a display since so many people crowd my local MAC store. If you end up checking out this collection, swatch the Evil Eye Eyeshadow Quad. For lack of a better term, its quite horrid, and very chalky. Why would they even try to sell it is beyond me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Baby Peaches has a name. Meet my little man, Gavin! Born 8 days late he drove mommy crazy when he didn't come on time. I kept waiting and waiting then finally one Tuesday morning he decided he wanted to come. Some hours and hours later he arrived and not in a fun way. I had to have a c-section. Dang baby has a big noggin. He was born 8lb's 2 ozs and with a baby toupee. I love that his hair spikes. Right now it's grown so much, it's not as spiky but you better bet he's rocking a rat tail down his back now. <br />

Motherhood has been challenging but I find it to be a total joy. Every day he gets bigger and cuter.

If you've been leaving me comments, I apologize for not writing back. My Google Friend Connect hates me and keeps signing me in as "anonymous." Blogger hates me too. It wont let me fix my blog and wont let me preview posts. Silly error messages are just killing me. Until then, thanks for hanging in there with me. <br />

I threw together this face pretty fast for the 4th of July since Baby Peaches let me have 20 minutes to play with my face. I'd just ordered Parisian Skies from <strong>MAC's Bloggers' Obsessions</strong> collection so I figured why not check it out. It's the perfect night blue sky color without looking too blue.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aLt9wfYBLL4/Thot3dv31AI/AAAAAAAABug/nIXufISnqiE/s1600/IMG_5842.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627861115254330370" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aLt9wfYBLL4/Thot3dv31AI/AAAAAAAABug/nIXufISnqiE/s400/IMG_5842.JPG" /></a><br /><strong>Face</strong><br />Lancome Dual Finish Foundation Powder Matte Buff II<br />YSL Touche Eclat #2<br />MAC Pink Cult blush<br />MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Petticoat<br /><br /><strong>Eyes</strong>- All MAC unless noted<br />Urban Decay Virgin (highlight and inner corner)<br />Vanilla(all over)<br />Parisian Skies(lid)<br />Wedge(crease)<br />Powerpoint Eye Pencil Engraved<br />Urban Decay Primer Potion<br />Lingering brow pencil<br />Fairydrops Scandal Queen Mascara<br /><br /><strong>Lips</strong><br />Marquise d' lipstick<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y7SUW2rO1Vc/Thot3CHJSgI/AAAAAAAABuY/TybtZs3vSjE/s1600/IMG_5841.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627861107835750914" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y7SUW2rO1Vc/Thot3CHJSgI/AAAAAAAABuY/TybtZs3vSjE/s400/IMG_5841.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We ended up celebrating the 4th over at the inlaws house with a BBQ and fireworks.

Or was it just another Monday for you since you don't live in the states?</span>prettyaspeacheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00630102455560856099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030748043175641896.post-74007405454999099362011-07-10T14:35:00.000-07:002011-07-10T15:16:32.819-07:00MAC Semi Precious Haul, Swatches and ComparisonsI'm sure you thought I'd fallen off the Earth by now. Nope, just had a baby and I've been a little preoccupied with the Prince of Poopie. So preoccupied that makeup has been the last thing on my mind, shocker! I'll post soon about his royal cuteness.<br /><br />I did venture out of the house with the Duke of Barfington to check out <strong>MAC's Semi Precious</strong> collection when it launched. I ended up hauling Mineralize Skinfinishes in Semi Precious Crystal Pink and Rose Quartz and the 234 split fibre eye blending brush. I wasn't too keen on the mineralize eyeshadows or the skincare this time around. The $20 price tag per eyeshadow just made them not worth it since they had a bit of fallout.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6HFQrmF8LY/ThocJ6u9DQI/AAAAAAAABtM/6fEmR_dLIAM/s1600/IMG_1032.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627841641063451906" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6HFQrmF8LY/ThocJ6u9DQI/AAAAAAAABtM/6fEmR_dLIAM/s400/IMG_1032.JPG" /></a> Top: 234 Split Fibre Eye Blending Brush, Bottom left to right: Semi Precious Rose Quartz, Semi Precious Crystal Pink<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UAIJRHCFycc/ThoipbNEl9I/AAAAAAAABuM/gs25NufvJaQ/s1600/IMG_1035.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UAIJRHCFycc/ThoipbNEl9I/AAAAAAAABuM/gs25NufvJaQ/s400/IMG_1035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627848779425421266" /></a>Semi Precious Rose Quartz <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vK5NEZQxc3w/ThocKBdW9-I/AAAAAAAABtU/dgNqfaCiYiY/s1600/IMG_1033.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627841642868701154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vK5NEZQxc3w/ThocKBdW9-I/AAAAAAAABtU/dgNqfaCiYiY/s400/IMG_1033.JPG" /></a> Semi Precious Crystal Pink<br /><br />I compared Semi Precious Crystal Pink to the Mineralize Skinfinish By Candlelight. The outer circle is very close in color but way more glittery. When blended together it looks like a slightly darker more glittery By Candlelight.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2qhSeS-ryXA/ThocfRJDfyI/AAAAAAAABuE/M2b0Bmm-Y3I/s1600/IMG_1048.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627842007855759138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2qhSeS-ryXA/ThocfRJDfyI/AAAAAAAABuE/M2b0Bmm-Y3I/s400/IMG_1048.JPG" /></a> Left to right: Crystal Pink center, Crystal Pink outer ring, By Candlelight, Crystal Pink mixed. <br /><br /><br />I also compared Semi Precious Rose Quartz to Stereo Rose and Petticoat. I found Rose Quartz to be much pinker than Stereo Rose. It's much more of a match to Petticoat but still ever so slightly pinker and tons of glitter again.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3D-KVhU40Rk/ThocfDnI_II/AAAAAAAABt8/fXpLBpqGEMg/s1600/IMG_1046.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627842004223851650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3D-KVhU40Rk/ThocfDnI_II/AAAAAAAABt8/fXpLBpqGEMg/s400/IMG_1046.JPG" /></a>Left to right: Stereo Rose, Rose Quartz outer circle, Petticoat, Rose Quartz mixed. <br /><br /><br />I'm liking the new 234 dual fibre blending brush. It's supposed to be for packing on the color with the goat hair and blending out with the synthetic fibers. It performed nicely at packing on the color, about what I expect with a MAC brush. However, it performed awesomely with blending. I think this might be my new go to brush over the 239 just because it's an all in one brush.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WvRfzgB2QMw/Thoce61jNFI/AAAAAAAABt0/cYti4SUAcok/s1600/IMG_1041.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627842001868371026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WvRfzgB2QMw/Thoce61jNFI/AAAAAAAABt0/cYti4SUAcok/s400/IMG_1041.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8e2I7ZVE8gM/ThocLDhf67I/AAAAAAAABts/6TSwx4vtAbc/s1600/IMG_1040.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627841660602805170" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8e2I7ZVE8gM/ThocLDhf67I/AAAAAAAABts/6TSwx4vtAbc/s400/IMG_1040.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RW-RTthutSg/ThocKlIKxGI/AAAAAAAABtk/gUf0deFundQ/s1600/IMG_1039.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627841652443497570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RW-RTthutSg/ThocKlIKxGI/AAAAAAAABtk/gUf0deFundQ/s400/IMG_1039.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><strong>Did you end up hauling anything from this collection? </strong><br /><br />PS does anyone know how to fix my right sidebar?

I'm always a fan of Philosophy's bath gels but sometimes I don't feel like shelling out the moola. Baby needs some diapers, ya know? <span style="color: #ff6666;"><strong>Softsoap Pomegranate Mango Moisturizing Body Wash</strong></span> fits the bill of delicious and cheap. I've gone through numerous bottles of this bad boy and have always been happy to buy more. I purchased my bottle o' bath gel for under $4 at Target. <br />
<br />
<div><div>What I like about this bath gel is although it's moisturizing it doesn't leave a film on my skin. Once applied to a bath poof I don't need to keep adding product- a little goes a long way! And the best part of this besides smelling awesome but not overpowering is that I can shave without nicking my skin, woot woot! <br />

Do you think I'll care about this collection by then? Most likely not but I will most likely be ordering via online instead of in store. Surf baby kind of reminds me of a cross between Liberty of London and last years summer collection. Everything is pretty but overall it fails to impress me. Am I burnt out on MAC? This collection seems very been there done that. I do like the hibiscus flower print though.

I usually post my haul photos before I do a FOTD but I got a new camera and haven't bothered to figure out how to upload the pics yet. Whateva, you'll forgive me since everyone and their mother is posting about MAC's Wonder Woman collection. I ended up hauling Marquise d' lipstick and Mighty Aphrodite blush. I'm pretty pleased with how this look ended up. I thought I'd be a hot orange mess but I was mistaken. Marquise d' has enough pink in it for me to pull it off.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lddzMIF0rQQ/TVc-TiAYbmI/AAAAAAAABOA/nKNJIC08K2w/s1600/IMG_5691.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572991569161121378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lddzMIF0rQQ/TVc-TiAYbmI/AAAAAAAABOA/nKNJIC08K2w/s400/IMG_5691.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Face</strong><br />Lancome Dual Finish Foundation Powder Matte Buff II<br />YSL Touche Eclat #2<br />Mighty Aphrodite blush<br /><br /><strong>Eyes</strong>- All MAC unless noted<br />Orb (highlight)<br />Dazzlelight (lid)<br />Mulch (crease)<br />Smut (outer V)<br />Urban Decay Eyeliner Zero<br />Urban Decay Primer Potion<br />NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk<br />Lingering brow pencil<br />Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash mascara<br /><br /><strong>Lips</strong><br />Marquise d' lipstick<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6NI0CgeSFL0/TVc-q5u1T1I/AAAAAAAABOI/fqXHIh2LSAQ/s1600/IMG_5690.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572991970666958674" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6NI0CgeSFL0/TVc-q5u1T1I/AAAAAAAABOI/fqXHIh2LSAQ/s400/IMG_5690.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rl87ofeZWZs/TVc-TcCaTHI/AAAAAAAABN4/wCaFrteRUbs/s1600/IMG_5692.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572991567559019634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rl87ofeZWZs/TVc-TcCaTHI/AAAAAAAABN4/wCaFrteRUbs/s400/IMG_5692.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I haven't posted a belly pic in a while but here I am at 28 weeks.

To me, it looks like slimshine 2.0. I'm all about glossy lipsticks so hopefully there's something for me! What do you all think?<br /><br />I'll be updating this thread as I get more info.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TT5zDy7KDGI/AAAAAAAABM0/BgJ6CCo5EBc/s1600/sheensupreme1.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566012698523208802" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TT5zDy7KDGI/AAAAAAAABM0/BgJ6CCo5EBc/s400/sheensupreme1.bmp" /></a><br /><br /><strong>MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick</strong>, Spring 2011<br /><strong>U.S. Launch Date</strong>: March 3rd, 2011 </p><p><em>Gloss is good, but there's nothing quite as wonderfully, worldly cinematic as a Lipstick - and they're coming back! We've updated formulas to maked it all plausible. Sheen Supreme is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated colour of, say, Tilda Swinton's I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss. Imagine no muddy undertones, gloding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel. It's a new medium, with MAC in the lead. This is retro/modern - and devastatingly chic.<br /><br /></em><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3nfjECpxXxk/TWKkKX2EGaI/AAAAAAAABO4/4mj5uAd28Z8/s1600/sheen-supreme-lipstick1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576199786744519074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3nfjECpxXxk/TWKkKX2EGaI/AAAAAAAABO4/4mj5uAd28Z8/s400/sheen-supreme-lipstick1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Sheen Supreme Lipstick $14.50 U.S.<br /></strong>•Supremely Confident -Pale nude<br />•Bare Again -Pinky neutral beige<br />•Can't Get Enough -Beige natural<br />•Behave Yourself -Light blue pink<br />•Gotta Dash! -Pale clean coral<br />•Full Speed -Bright clean yellow pink<br />•Insanely It -Watermelon pink<br />•Ultra Darling -Mid-tone yellow pink<br />•New Temptation -Vivid blue red<br />•Quite the Thing! -Deep blue plum<br />•Impressive -Neutral gilded plum<br />•Look at Her! -Metallic copper<br />•Can't Resist -Golden purplish red<br />•Good to be Bad -Deep burgundy<br /></p>prettyaspeacheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00630102455560856099noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030748043175641896.post-69400131146311495692011-01-15T16:39:00.000-08:002011-01-15T17:18:03.866-08:00MAC Cremeblend Blushes, Spring 2011I never got a chance to play with the cremeblend blushes that came out with Lillyland last year so I'm excited to see this latest collection by MAC, called Cremeblend Blushes, will be all part of their permanent line. Since they discontinued the Blushcremes, these should be their formula replacement. I hear these are lighter and easier to blend than the Blushcremes. <br /><br />Did you try out the cremeblend blushes when they came out in 2010? Did you like them?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TTI-s3YBINI/AAAAAAAABMk/_e6vh7c_tHo/s1600/creme1.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562577430255837394" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TTI-s3YBINI/AAAAAAAABMk/_e6vh7c_tHo/s400/creme1.bmp" /></a><br /><br /><strong>MAC Cremeblend Blushes</strong>, Spring 2011<br /><strong>U.S. & Canada Launch Date</strong>: March 3rd, 2011<br /><strong>International Launch Date</strong>: March 2011<br /><br /><em>For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility you’ve ever had…Starts creamy, stays creamy and proves once and for all that powder is NOT your only prerogative. You can get back to a new build for that retro “rouge” look Old Hollywood Glamour made modern or stop at subtle and natural; it’s all in your hands. In three aspects, two shades of each: One matched to skin, one for a brighter glow and one darker for cream contouring, it’s perfect for all skin colours, minus the silicone, particularly adept at preventing ashiness on darker complexions.

I'm a Christmas baby (born 5 days after). I decided to take the day off and go bday shopping with my mom. Sadly, I didn't last all that long at the mall. This preggo couldn't go the distance. Trust me, I tried! The next day made up for it since I found Marcy Marc. I'd been wanting a replacement to my white Marc Jacobs that bit the dust. Note to self white fabric bags don't work for the long haul. I'd gone all of 2010 without buying a purse and here I was on Dec 31st buying one. Funny how that happened.<br /><br />Anyway, for the daytime, I wanted to do blues to go with my preggo lady shirt. Just my luck, I had recently picked up MAC's Deep Truth. Looking at these pics all small, it just looks like I did all silver but I promise you there's some blue in there.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRJhevfsI/AAAAAAAABIk/hndSNeuJxCQ/s1600/IMG_5599.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 299px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558586695385841346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRJhevfsI/AAAAAAAABIk/hndSNeuJxCQ/s400/IMG_5599.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Face</strong><br />Lancome Dual Finish Foundation Powder Matte Buff II<br />YSL Touche Eclat #2<br />Dior Coral Riviera blush<br /><br /><strong>Eyes</strong>- All MAC unless noted<br />Vanilla (highlight)<br />Electra (lid)<br />Deep Truth (outer V)<br />Soft Brown (crease)<br />Tilt (crease)<br />Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot (love love love!)<br />Urban Decay Eyeliner Zero<br />Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara<br />Urban Decay Primer Potion<br />Lingering brow pencil<br /><br /><strong>Lips</strong><br />MAC Strange Potion lipglass<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRkSZxnvI/AAAAAAAABI8/48m5PcJ5gVs/s1600/IMG_5617.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558587155194945266" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRkSZxnvI/AAAAAAAABI8/48m5PcJ5gVs/s400/IMG_5617.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRKGYWxRI/AAAAAAAABI0/EWnED3OLcTQ/s1600/IMG_5616.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558586705291166994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TSQRKGYWxRI/AAAAAAAABI0/EWnED3OLcTQ/s400/IMG_5616.JPG" /></a><br /><br />In case you were curious, here's my new Marcy Marc.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TTE4wXiMirI/AAAAAAAABMU/Os-Fv1PYfuM/s1600/marcj.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562289418381593266" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i71V5_-s1nY/TTE4wXiMirI/AAAAAAAABMU/Os-Fv1PYfuM/s400/marcj.jpg" /></a>prettyaspeacheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00630102455560856099noreply@blogger.com9
