Hey everyone! So today I decided to use NARS Cairo eye shadow-a recent purchase that I have yet to use. It's kind of a cross between light brown and pink. Very unique IMO. Here's the look I created with it. Let me know what you think!

MAC Fresh Cut Palette

So I know I am late on this bandwagon, but I just picked up the Fresh Cut Palette from MAC at the CCO about 2 weeks ago. It looked beautiful in the palette but I wasn't so sure how it was going to look on me. I LOVE it! I think it really brings my eyes out. Here is the look I created with it. Let me know what you think!

Smoke & Diamonds FOTD

Today I decided I wanted a gray smokey look. Actually, while out shopping yesterday and looking at the holiday palettes at the MAC counter, I really wanted to buy the Sorceress Eye Palette, mainly because of this grey-goldish color, I think it's called Hold My Gaze. Then I remembered that I had a similar color already-Smoke & Diamonds! I love Smoke & Diamonds eye shadow so I decided to break it back out!

Soft Purple Look

Hey ya'll! Today I wanted something just soft and pretty and light purple just fit the bill! I have worn this look one time before and really liked it as well. I think the last time I used Macroviolet Fluidline to line instead of Prunella, but I wanted something softer today. Let me know what you think!

MAC Style Snob & Young Punk

Here is the look I did today featuring some of the new products that I got. Not loving the liner, or should I say the applicater on the liner because it is a brush that kept separating and making dots above my line. The color intensity is good but can't deal with the messiness :/.

New Goodies!!!

Finally, after months, I've done some hauling! The husband was not very happy, but oh wells. Here is what I got and some pictures
MAC Young Punk Mineralize Eye Shadow. Mineralize black w/ pinkish purple pearl (frost). When I went to check out the Style Black collection, this was the one eye shadow that really caught my eye. It is just a gorgeous dark purple color. I used it today and it does have a fair amount of fall out, but applied wet you can get around this.
MAC Style Snob Eye Shadow. Dirty pink brown w/ gold pearl (starflash). I really love this color. It is a beautiful neutral color. It's similar to Satin Taupe but with a pinkish undertone. I know I will get a lot of wear out of this one.

MAC Creme De Miel Eye Shadow. Frosty light yellow gold (veluxe pearl). This eye shadow is so pretty and I can't believe I passed it up when the Naked Honey Collection came out. I think it will be a nice highlight color.
NARS Cairo Eye Shadow. Champagne rose with shimmer. Another beautiful neutral shade. The texture feels really nice. Some gorgeous looks will come with this!
NARS Caravaggio Eye Shadow Duo. Azalea Pink/Irridescent Violet. This is a beautiful bright duo featuring my two favorite colors!
NARS Silk Road Eye Shadow Duo. Icy Pink/Rose gold with golden flecks. I'm on a neutral kick in case you don't notice, lol. This is beautiful as well.



NARS Madly Blush. Seashell pink. This is a very gorgeous, pigmented neutral blush. I think it will be very versatile.


NARS Makeup Cleansing Oil. This was where the NARS order started. When I was colormatched for the Sheer Glow Foundations at the NARS counter, the SA used this on me to take my foundation off. It felt so good on my skin. Since then, I had been leeming for this product.
