Look: Another James Honey Attempt
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Gold, Looks, MAC
This was my favorite of the times I tried to recreate the look James did with the MAC Honey collection. I did the exact same thing he did using the exact same colors. You know, I think this is one of my favorite looks. Like for one of those days when you just don’t know what to pick or what look to do. It might just be my go-to look. For me, it was easy, and I adore the way it comes together.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: Rubenesque PP (base), Buckwheat (outer lid & crease), Pollinator (above crease), Crème de Miel (inner lid), Nylon (highlight), Smolder Kohl (liner), Smolder+Carbon+Smolder (waterline), Zoomlash mascara
- Brows: Lingering Pencil
- Cheeks: Spring Sheen blush + Honey Light Illuminating Pressed Powder
- Lips: Ravishing Creamsheen l/s + Spiced l/l + She’s a Star l/g

Collection: Lippies!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Beauty Support & FAQ, Lip Products, My Collection
Wow people, this is a looooong time in coming! I’ve posted my eye products and cheek products, and now finally I have some pictures of the lip products! I didn’t do all of my lipliners, but eh, I’ll do those later. This is not the complete collection of lip stuff. I found some afterward in a purse, on the bathroom counter, on the coffee table…but this is most of it (not including any palettes of course)! If you have questions about any of it, let me know. I will eventually get swatches of all of the eyeshadows I have, but I dunno about the lips…you’ll have to ask for specific ones and I’ll do a lip swatch for you and build it into a look :-)
You have no idea how long it took me to gather all of these up and separate them! There are two bins full - one is for lipsticks and the other for glosses. They were in two big drawers all mixed together, plus like 6 different little makeup bags were full of some more. Getting the MAC lipsticks to stand up like that was the most difficult and challenging. I had to stuff the end of the container so that they’d stay up. Actually, I had to put them all in right side up first, then flip each one over individually, and they stayed. I really love this new set up though. Everything is so easy to find, and I can see all of the colors laid out in front of me. I rediscovered old favorites and have only found one double (of a glossimer). And yes, I pretty much know almost every single one by name…at least enough to identify it’s color family! This is my collection, and I LOVE it! Enjoy! :-)

Look: Silver on Black
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Bobbi Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
I absolutely adore looking at Padmita’s 1 looks. I don’t know if it’s because of her gorgeous light blue eyes, but she wears white liner on the waterline like no other! I envy her skills, her eye color, her creativeness, and her great camera (which takes really nice shots). So I went for the white waterline, but on me I think it looks kinda scary. Maybe I’m just not used to it? What’s your take?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Blackground PP (base), black side of Danger Zone (outer lid & crease), Sweet Sienna Pigment (middle lid), Platinum Pigment (inner lid & corner), Pink Opal Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper & lower lashline), UD 24/7 Dime (inner corner liner), Enchanting (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Margin + Larua Geller Pink Grapefruit + Blonde MSF
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Heather Mauve l/s + Chanel Aqualumier

Look: Melon

Look: Don’t Scare the Newbies
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Chantecaille, Looks, MAC, Neutral
The day I did this look was the first day of a week-long training that makes me want to pull my hair out. Seriously, it’s way below me, but they pay me to go, so I go. Unfortunately for them, I wear my thoughts on my face…and I really can’t hide how I feel. Apparently I’m hilarious to sit across from because I constantly roll my eyes or make faces when I don’t approve which makes others who know me laugh like crazy! It’s pretty subconscious, and something I need to work on for sure!
Anyway, so being the first day of a training, I figured I wouldn’t go OTT with the color, so as not to scare the newbies who don’t wear makeup (but SOOOO SHOULD!). It’s pretty much the same as my look with the glasses, but sleeker. Amazing what some liner on the waterline will do :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bare Study PP (base), Bobbi Brown Shimmering Nudes Palette, Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Zero (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Honey Light + Margin blush
- Lips: Chantecaille Luna l/s + Bobbi Brown Glacier Shimmer l/g

Look: Quick Nudes & Glasses!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Neutral
Ugh, getting up on a Sunday morning is NOT my thing, but it was for a good cause. I went to Fry’s with my friend Ruth to get some technology goodies, and she doesn’t like crowds, so we tried to go when there would be as few people as possible…when it opens on a Sunday! Well, of course I can’t go out in public without my face on, so I put a quick nudes look together. I saved a pair of my contacts though by wearing my glasses 8-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bobbi Brown Shimmering Nudes Palette, Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara, D&G glasses
- Cheeks: Honey Light + Margin blush
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Silver l/s

Look: Did you match your eyes to your shirt?
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey
Yeah…I did. So sue me. ;-P
At first I had a bright pink lip for this look, and I have one picture with it on, but I really didn’t like it, so I switched to the lighter pink lip. Should I have left it? Or do you like it better with the paler lip?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bare Study PP (base), Beautiful Iris (inner lid), Parfait Amour (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid & crease), Sugarshot (highlight), Bobbi Brown Violet Shimmer Ink (liner), UD 24/7 Zero (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Springsheen blush + Bobbi Brown Pink Platinum Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Shy Girl l/s + Baby Sparks Dazzleglass

Look: Mesmerizing Fyrinnae Teals
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Fyrinnae, Looks, Smokey, Teal
I love teals! I think greens and teals are my favorite colors to do looks with. I rarely get out my Fyrinnae colors because they’re just so messy! Even just opening the container gets dust all over my fingers and counter. But when it all comes together nicely, ahhh…I just love it :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Rollickin’ PP (base), Fyrinnae Digital Faerie (inner lid), Fyrinnae Hypercool (middle lid), Fyrinnae Biker Chick (outer lid & crease), Sugarshot (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Flipside (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
