Merry Christmas Eve! My failed attempt to dupe Enigma

I am lemming the Enigma quad from Chanel something serious so I thought I'd try to dupe it today with stuff I already have. It didn't work but oh well, I still like how the look turned out!

Natural Hair and FOTD

Today I am just going to be hanging around the house so I opted to let my hair dry naturally and do minimal/natural makeup. I am trying to get my routine down to fewer products for work days and days when I don't have a lot of time to get ready. Let me know what you think or if you think I should add or take away anything.

Trying Out MAC Pro Longwear

Hey everyone! I got the MAC Pro Longwear Foundation yesterday and so far I love it! I wore it to the gym today just to test it out and it held up great! Had a little trouble with color match at the counter though. I am neutral toned and one SA tried to match me up to NW25 and I when I went out to my car I looked in the mirror and my face was pink! So I went back in and traded for NC25 and I think it's a good match. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking!

First Chanel Haul and Look

Today I ventured up to the mall in quest of Chanel Mat Lumiere Foundation and came out with a couple of other things. The MUA not only color matched me but applied it to my entire face and also an applied an eyeshadow and liner I was looking at. She was extremely nice and helpful and I was glad because I was already afraid that I was going to go to the Chanel Counter and they were going to be snobby, being the high(est) end makeup I have ever purchased. This is me wearing the Mat Lumiere in Beige 40 and Eyeshadow duo in Misty. She put one of the new eyeliners on me but I'm not sure which one and a glossimer, again not sure which one.

Leopard Luxe Inspired Look

While I was out shopping yesterday, I took a look at the new MAC Collection Fabulous Felines. The Leopard Luxe Eyeshadow Quad caught my interest, but I have so much makeup and similar colors, I decided not to purchase. I saw a look Marlena from Makeupgeek was wearing using this quad and challenged myself to try to recreate the look with makeup I already own. So here goes, my attempt to kill a lemming :).

Trying Out Maybelline Smooth Mousse

Hey ya'll! I just finally got the Maybelline Smooth Mousse Foundation a couple of days ago from CVS. They even had testers, which was very nice because I looked at it in Walmart and I had no idea what color to get. I ended up getting Natural Beige, as it was the closest match to my skin tone. Initial impression: I really like it. Feels good on the face and I think it photographed pretty well. Not sure about the longevity yet, but I tend to be combo-oily so I will probably have to touch up with some powder. Anyways, here is my FOTD!
