Look: Rose Romance Mutiny & Circa Plum
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Chanel, Looks, MAC, Purple, Teal
I’d almost forgotten that these pigments came out with RR because I already had both of them. What a great combination they make though! I’m loving it! Though I put Mutiny on my lower lashline which I think makes me look a little tired or something. Maybe I should have only put it on the outer lower lashline. Ah well, it still came out nice. Also, I think Graphology would have worked better for me in the crease, but I wanted to stick to colors from this collection, so I just layered on Shadowy Lady until it was dark enough. These colors together remind me of my Sweetie Cakes quad. Very pretty, summery, shimmery, yum! I used a purple-toned lipstick, but I also think this would look nice with a light pink lip…Angel or Shy Girl or something pastel pink.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Green Stroke PP (base), Mutiny Pigment (inner half of lid & lower lashline), Circa Plum Pigment (outer half of lid), Shadowy Lady (crease), Et Tu Bouquet? (highlight), Fab Orchid Kohl liner, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Dior Bronze de Harmonie Rose Brazilia Blush
- Lips: Chanel Mica l/s + Chanel Nebula Glossimer

Look: Dior Electric Lights Quint
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Dior, Eyeshadow, Looks, My Collection, Silver, Teal
Finally…a Dior quint that has some descent color payoff! In my experience with the quints, they are just so disappointing in the amount of color I can get on my lid. This one finally gave some oomph, but MAC colors still do it better IMO. The color in the middle is very purple, though it looks like a navy blue in the picture. I included a close-up of it after the jump with the rest of my pics. What do you think of this quint? Worth the money?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Dior Iridescent Eyes Electric Lights Quint, UD 24/7 Zero (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Dior Pop Diamond Skin Shimmer
- Lips: Viva Glam VI lipglass

Look: Teal & Brown
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Looks, MAC, Teal
It’s not really an odd combination of colors, more like an odd placement. It just came out looking a little…strange to me? I mean, it’s pretty and all, just not what I’m used to doing on myself I guess. But I love stepping outside my box a little and doing something different. Otherwise this blog would be boring, right?! LOL! I need some inspiration! Anyone have any requests/suggestions? Denny - I’m still looking for Oh Baby! and I haven’t forgotten! Lynn - I did one or two looks with the new Pop Diamond so stay tuned! Rachael - I did one look using RR stuff so far…and I need to work on another one. :-) Thanks for visiting!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints (in light aqua, teal, & brown - all over lid), Aquadistic (inner lid), Cool Heat (middle & upper lid), Satin Taupe (outer lid & crease), Femme-Fi (highlight), Teddy Eye Kohl liner, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Hot Planet Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Fresh Brew l/s + 3N lipglass

Look: Aqua & Purple
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gray, Looks, MAC, Purple, Smokey, Teal
The colors don’t seem to come out as distinguished in these pictures as they did in real life. Here it looks more just plain blue with purple liner, but really it was an aqua color with purple in the crease.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints (base), Silver Fog Pigment (inner lid), Mutiny Pigment (middle lid), Stormwatch + Top Hat + Parfait Amour (outer lid & crease), Sugarshot (highlight), Fab Orchid (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Flipside (lower lashline), UD 24/7 Rockstar (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Bobbi Brown Plum Wine Shimmer Blush + Bobbi Brown Pink Platinum Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Chanel Sahara Beige l/s + Mimmy lipglass

Look: Aqua, Newly Minted, & Kelly for Lynn
Posted by Heather | Filed under Green, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Teal
My loyal and super sweet reader, Lynn, requested a look using these three colors, so here you are! This is what I’m wearing today! Usually I post looks from about a week ago (gives me time to crop and resize the pictures, etc). These colors together are stellar! However, Newly Minted and Kelly are very very close in hue/darkness, so you can’t see much of a distinction there. This is my hair left to air-dry! I didn’t have time to blow dry it and straighten it, plus it was a lazy Sunday, so I was like eh don’t feel like doin’ my hair.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Aqua (lower & inner lid), Kelly (middle & upper lid), Newly Minted (outer lid), Bottle Green (crease), Daisychain (highlight), Shade Fluidline (upper lashline), Bankroll Pearlglide liner (lower lashline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Intenso Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Chanel Aqualumier gloss in Ginger Blossom #79
See more pictures! I threw in a smile and a sassy one too! Read the rest of this entry »
Look: Icy Blue Clouds
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Teal, White
** This is my 100th post on Coloruza! Wooooo!!! **
Ruth described this one as an icy blue cloud! :-) I was in LOVE with this look - I really think it’s one of my favorites, so it’s the perfect post for #100! And the pictures came out so perfectly…I wish my hair and face could look like this everyday haha! Enjoy!!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Bobbi Brown Sea Glass (inner lid), Parrot + Warm Chill (middle lid), Gulf Stream (outer lid), Pompous Blue + Stormwatch (crease), Sugarshot (highlight), UD 24/7 Electric (lower lashline), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline & waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Hot Planet Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Lollipop Loving l/s + Mimmy lipglass
I’m still working on my watermark. I need one that has more personality…more original. I need a logo or something. Any ideas? Anyone good with Photoshop? Please see more glorious pictures! Read the rest of this entry »
Look: Going Retro with Aqualine Teal Liner
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chanel, Green, Looks, MAC, Pink, Teal
I’ve been so tired of wearing so many pinks and pink type colors lately, that I was completely bored with this look…until I put the liner on. I used all of the new colors that I picked up from MAC’s Sugarsweet collection, but they were so pale. What is it about that liner that makes everything stand out more?! I seriously get so many compliments when I wear that liner. I think that the liner must just scream at people “LOOK AT ME!! I’M PRETTY!!!” and they get mezmerized and say it out loud or something haha! Anyway, it totally made the look come together for me. I haven’t worn that liner in a loooong time, so it was strange how the brush wasn’t…um…well it was rather stiff and hard to work with - like when you bend a brush and it doesn’t bend back haha! Ah well, it was workable :-)
I’ve started to name my looks after how my friend Ruth (from work) calls them. She will look at my eyes everyday and say “Ooooh, this look is __________.” And that’s where I get some of these names from!! To her, this look was retro, like from the 70’s or something. LOL!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Girl Friendly PP (base), Sugarshot (inner lid & highlight), Dear Cupcake (middle lid), Aquavert (outer lid), Stormwatch (outer crease), Aqualine Liquidlast Liner (upper lashline), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Dior Bronze Harmonie de Blush Coral Riviera
- Lips: Chanel Panarea l/s + Chanel Glossimer #104

Look: A Touch of Color in the Crease
Posted by Heather | Filed under Brown, Looks, MAC, Neutral, Teal
To transition out of neutrals week, I thought I’d show how to add some color. Lots of people say they “can’t” wear color which is completely untrue! Or they’re not sure how to add color to their typical neutral looks. So here’s just one idea - put a touch of color in the crease to liven up your look! I chose a teal/greenish color to match the lettering on my shirt :-) Try it! I think you’ll get lots of compliments!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), no base today!, All That Glitters (inner lid), Saddle (middle lid), Romp (outer lid), Naked Lunch (highlight), Cool Heat (crease), Mystery Kohl Power (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Super Orgasm Blush
- Lips: Fresh Brew lipstick + Sweet Strawberry lipglass

Look: Jazz Kitchen Teals
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Teal
This is the glamorous look I wore out to the Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney. We went with my friends Ruth and Leslie and their respective others. It was a really fun night with a live Jazz band in the room we were eating. Toward the end of our dinner, one of the waitresses approached me and asked me to close my eyes so she could see my makeup completely. Of course I was flattered! She said her daughter wants to get into it, so I gave her my card. This is a shout out to her!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Rollickin’ PP (base), Eyepopping (inner lid), Big T (middle & outer lid), Stormwatch + Carbon (crease), Gulf Stream (upper lid), Rose Blanc (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline, upper & lower waterline), UD 24/7 Flipside (lower lashline), Eyepopping (lower lashline)
- Cheeks: Fun & Games Beauty Powder Blush + Bobbi Brown Apricot Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Coach Toffee lipstick + Chanel Gold Shine Glossimer

Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Green, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Teal
This is the look I wore for the 2 hour training I had to go to at the MAC Pro store before I could work the Hello Kitty event. The training was…eh…didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know.

- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Chartreuse Pigment (inner lid & lower lashline), Teal Pigment (outer lid), Gorgeous Gold (blended on upper lid), Nylon (highlight), UD 24/7 Zero (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Flipside (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
