Look: Pink + Blue…looks Purple?
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Kat Von D, Looks, MAC, NARS, Pink, Purple, Yaby
Well duh, of course pink and blue blended together are going to look purple! Although I was impressed at how each color managed to stand on it’s own and not get completely muddied together. This look is quite bright and fun.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in pinks & bright blue (base), Ego (inner & middle lid), Kat Von D Speed Blue (crease), Yaby bright pink shadow (above crease), Pink Opal pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Sapphire Shimmer Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Tippy BPB
- Lips: NARS Stella + Lip Fusion Blush lipgloss

Look: Sorta <3 it…
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Lips, Looks, MAC, Neutral, Pink, Yaby
Meh, not a great look this time. I think I needed liner on the bottom or something… It’s just light, and doesn’t do it for me, but hey, maybe it’s more someone else’s style? :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Lt. Pink (base), Grand Entrance (inner lid), Style Snob (middle lid), Strike a Pose (outer lid & crease), Solar White (highlight), Laura Geller Blueberry baked cake (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: X-Rocks

Look: Fresh Cut Palette
Posted by Heather | Filed under Looks, MAC, Pink, Red/Maroon
Ever since I discovered the MAC holiday palettes, I’ve loved them. I didn’t used to be a palette girl because I make my own, and don’t want to carry around a bunch of little ones. But these are really really good. The quality is above what I would expect from a smaller shadow and the texture is often better than their usual shadows. They’re all new LE colors too, which is great because I’m really tired of them putting perm or repromote colors in their palettes. This and the Graphic Garden palette are part of the Nordstrom Beauty Exclusive release. If you like pinks, this one is worth a look. I really like it :-) What do you think?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Fresh Cut Palette, Raven Kohl Power (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Daft Pink mineralize blush
- Lips: Pink Karat lusterglass

Look: Springtime Pink & Green
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Green, Guerlain, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Pink
I need new color combination ideas. I can’t wait for MAC Graphic Garden because those will be fun colors to put together. I was thinking about pairing up pink and green for this look. Not bright like the Barbie look; just soft colors, but that aren’t overly blended and muddy. I couldn’t think of regular e/s colors that I wanted to use for this look, so I went with all pigments.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Fresco Rose PP (base), Apricot Pink Pigment (all over lid up to crease), Golder’s Green Pigment (crease & above crease), Antique Green Pigment (crease), Pink Opal Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Ivy Shimmer Ink (upper lashline), Jealous Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit mineralized blush + Bobbi Brown Pink Platinum Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Guerlain Candy Shine l/s + YSL Golden Gloss #10

Look: Chanel Murano Quad for Fall 2009
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Eyeshadow, Looks, MAC, My Collection, Pink, Teal
Yay! I’m so excited that Chanel has finally come out with another beautiful quad! I haven’t been impressed by their quads since they released Beiges de Chanel. This quad is beautiful just to look at, and the colors on the lid do not disappoint. The texture is what you’d expect from Chanel: buttery soft and smooth application. The colors are just as they appear in the quad, though the light blue color is more frosty than I’d expect. It’s a pretty look - not quite blue, not quite teal, but somewhere in between. It’s my new favorite Chanel quad…and I look forward to going through the whole thing :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Chanel Murano (FALL 2009) Quad, Bobbi Brown Caviar Ink (upper lashline), Mystery Kohl Power (lower lashline), Guerlain Lagoon Blue loose kohl (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Margin
- Lips: Chanel Instinctive l/s + Chanel Pink Oyster Glossimer

Look: Smoldering Spiced Chocolate
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, NARS, Orange, Pink, Red/Maroon
The texture of the shadows in the Spiced Chocolate quad is seriously unparalleled. The colors are so incredibly pigmented too…almost too much, but that’s ok. It’s a very unique set of colors, and I made a descently dark look with it.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Artifact PP (base), Spiced Chocolate quad, Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Golden Apricot Mineralized blush
- Lips: NARS Dolce Vita lipgloss

Look: Pink with Some Brown
Posted by Heather | Filed under Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Pink
Wow, I’m really lacking at some creative titles for my looks these days haha! I used a lot of products today, mostly because I used 3 different Metal X cream shadows for my bases. I really love using the old Metal X shadows from the end of the year in 2007 (I think it was…or was it 2008)? They were horrible when I first got them, but wait a year, and now they’re fantastic! I apply them with my finger, and never get gobs of it at a time. I think they actually needed to dry out, and now they’re way easier to work with and they don’t crease. The new Metal X cream shadows (that are in the shape of a seashell) aren’t as good…probably because they haven’t been able to dry out over a year yet :-P Well, I gave a couple a try with this look anyway!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Metal X cream shadows: Pink Platinum (middle), Pink Ingot (middle lid), Forged Rose (outer lid) (base), Et Tu Bouquet? (inner lid & highlight), Laura Geller Mauve mineralize e/s (middle lid), cranberry side of Threesome mineralized e/s (outer lid & crease), Brownboarder Technakohl (upper lashline), Guerlain Loose Kohl Brown (waterlines), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit mineralized blush
- Lips: Guerlain KissKiss l/s Rose Malicieux #568

Look: For the Flight Home
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Gray, Guerlain, Lips, Looks, MAC, Pink, Smokey
I know you’re probably super-duper tired of me forgetting the specific breakdown for my looks lately…I blame my “vacation” which made me unfocused. So I apologize for that! I DO know that I used Expensive Pink in the middle, probably Typographic on the outer lid & crease. On the lips was Guerlain Matte Lipgloss #2. This was the look I did for our long flight back to the mainland where we watched “Confessions of a Shopaholoic” which was great! I’m totally like her…except only with makeup haha! :-)
See more pictures! Even if I don’t have the exact breakdown, they’re still pretty hehe :-) Read the rest of this entry »
Look: Mineralized Mosh Posh
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Gold, Looks, Pink
Well peoples…today’s look post is going to just be pictures. I must have forgotten to write down what I used in my look the day these were taken, because I can’t find it anywhere! :-( Well, it wasn’t spectacular or anything, so at least you probably won’t miss the break-down too much. :-P I labeled the pictures Mineralized Mosh Posh, so I do know that I used a bunch of mineralized e/s to create this look. One of my favorite MA’s, James, from the MAC counter at Nordstrom South Bay Galleria gave me a tip when applying the mineralized shadows: spray some Fix + to your brush first, then pick up the color, and voila! It’s much more vibrant and less fall-out. Genius!
