What with school starting next week and two registrations this week plus reading the new Jim Butcher book, I’m behind in posting, so I figured I’d better catch up! If I get too far behind, I can’t remember what I did. What’s fun about doing two days is that it is easy to compare colors.
Tuesday
Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost, then BE Queen Phyllis
Lids: Milani 06 Royalty This is a gorgeous color, with sort of a turquoise micro glitter on top of it — the bad thing is that the glitter is only on top, so once you get past the top, it is gone. I work from only one area so I can see what the glitter looked like. This really does seem like bait and switch.
Lids: topped with AL Bluespark Rocks, a nearly identical micro glitter color, whoo hooo!
Lined: Mary Kay Bahama Blue pencil
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Mascara: Guerlain, not Le2
Primer: Revlon
Foundation: Chanel
Blush: Arbonne Promise, after Chanel stick rouge under Guerlain meteorites powder
Lips
Mary Kay Pink Shimmer + gloss
Wednesday
Eyes:
NYX trio #3 pink, white, baby blue — really gorgeous colors and I’ve wanted to get back to them.
Lined: Chanel Noctournes, Mercury and Sapphire double ended pencil, sadly discontinued
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Mascara: Arbonne, double ended
Primer: Guerlain meteorites
Foundation: Chanel
Blush: Arbonne Promise, after Chanel stick rouge under Guerlain meteorites powder
Lips:
Too Faced Caspian pencil topped with Mermaid gloss — I chose Mermaid because it is the browner of the glosses in the 4 that came out at the same time.
That gives you a two day round up!

- FOTD Chanel Collection Essentielle Lumiere Tendresse You can see a picture of the Palette here. Chanel has brought these collections out several times now, and the colors are so close to each other that I think it took me a couple of years to realize they actually are different each season! Some are quite brown looking,……

FOTD Lime and amethyst eyes I wore these shadow colors yesterday, because I was wearing a wonderful lime green skirt with amethyst accents. I liked it so well, I wanted to wear the colors again, and since I didn’t take pictures yesterday, I thought I’d show you the idea today. It’s wonderful the number of…… -
Review: Nars The Multiple I first read about The Multiple about a year ago. An Asian MUA wrote in her blog that this was her favorite go-to product. That she used it on eyes-cheeks-lips-bronzer-etc. It piqued my curiosity. No one sells Nars locally so I tend to be less familiar with the line. I…… -
FOTD Take 3 MK Spring 2009 Luminous Eyes Today I wanted to copy one of the images in the Mary Kay Look Magazine. The colors are from the Spring 2009 Luminous Eyes pan.

FOTD AL eyes + Too Faced I liked this look! What do you think? Eyes: AL, unless noted Base: forget now, possibly Trish McAvoy, then my sparkly nude mix — this also makes the Grape a little less matte. I might try a black base for a change, but truthfully, I think this is about as…… -
FOTD Catching up What with school starting next week and two registrations this week plus reading the new Jim Butcher book, I’m behind in posting, so I figured I’d better catch up! If I get too far behind, I can’t remember what I did. What’s fun about doing two days is that it…… - Amazon Friday Sale – Cruzin Cooler Scooter Edition On some Friday, I look at Amazon’s Friday Sale and see what kind of products catch my eye.

FOTD Chanel + Mary Kay eyes + MAC lips + Success! I tried the new eye shape today. I didn’t forget, even though I went to bed at 4 am because of the Harry Potter movie. I was really happy with how it turned out, and I believe it will become second nature. It’s interesting to me that out of…… -
FOTD Meow Lancome Eyes Too Faced gloss I wanted to do a Take 2 yesterday with darker greys, but everything still looked so good, it didn’t need refreshing. I’m not tired of the look yet, so today I re-did it using deeper greys. Eyes: Base: Dior light pink cream in wand; then my sparkly mix Lid: Cat……
