March Green FOTD
St. Paddy's Day is just around the corner and also is Spring. I wanted to do something different from my normal neutral color routine, so I opted for Green!
March Green FOTD
eyes closed ~
with the glasses ~
What I used:
Face: My Normal Routine, MAC So Ceylon MSF, NARS Amour blush
Eyes: MAC eyeshadow in Scrumptious Olive, Urban Decay NYC palette: Loaded and Kush, MAC Undercurrent and I get no kick liner, MAC Studio Fix mascara.
Lips: (not shown) Victoria's Secret Sheer Gloss Stick in Shy.
I rarely use bright green colors as I really have no where to wear them. I used a brighter green for the all over lid part of they eyelid then muted it some with a olive and darker green. I know my eyebrows are messed up, I didn't have the time to fix them and now letting them grow more to fix it. Other than that I think the color green is fun and vibrant, I just have to wear it more often!
Do you wear GREEN eyeshadow on a regular basis?

MAC Lady Gaga Inspired
For 2011, MAC named Lady Gaga their spokesperson for MAC Viva Glam. This years look and color is totally different from last years collaboration with Cyndi Lauper. For this year, Lady Gaga is elegant, with neutral makeup and very beautiful. There will be a new lipstick and lipglass for the Viva Glam campaign which should be out at MAC stores and counters nationwide.
When I first saw the ad campaign for Viva Glam, I was like WOW! Lady Gaga is so beautiful, so ethereal. Unlike last year's bright pink lipstick, this years is more neutral and laid back, which I love. I love how the use of pinks and browns were used for the makeup and also love the styling of the fashion.
And Yes! I'm not no Gaga, so my look is probably a bit less elegant and not as close as the picture, but I tried. I just love the subtlety of the look and know that the look is something many of us could wear. I did not use the Viva Glam lipstick for this look as it did not come out yet when I did the look. I do plan to pick up the lipstick and lipglass, and when I do, I'll post up some swatches and pictures.
What I used:
Face:
Neutrogena concealer, Smashbox Halo powder, MAC Tenderling Blush
Eyes:
MAC Bare Study p/p, Urban Decay Naked palette, MAC Studio Fix mascara, Blacktrack f/l, Shisem lashes
Lips:
NYX pumpkin lipstick

November Favorites
So I wanted to share my current favorites with you all.
These are products I've been using for the past 1-2 months.
Some of them are new products, some are old goodies.
1. MAC 187 brush- I love this for blush. Lately I've been wearing bold and bright colored blushes- with using this type of brush it applies the blush on softly and smoothly.
2. Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye liner in Zero- Perfect black eye liner, great for easy application and daily wear.
3. Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude- my absolute favorite nude lipstick, it goes well with w/ baby pink lipglosses.
4. MAC VV lipglass in Revenge is Sweet- Lovely color. It looks like an intense purple color but goes on sheer w/ a fuchsia tint, which is perfect alone or on top of lipstick.
5. The Body Shop mineral foundation kabuki- I've been using this brush all year long. It's my favorite face brush, great for setting makeup w/ either loose or pressed powders.
6. Anastasia Highlighting Brow kit- This is a great way to match your eyebrows with the correct shade. The brow powder comes in a good sized dome tri colored baked powder- very versatile and you can customize all 3 shades to get your perfect match!
7. Lise Watier Portfolio Concealer wheel- I always comes back to this after trying new concealers. It has great coverage and I've had it for over a year now and barely made a dent in the product.
8. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel- Great stuff, great for combo-oily skin. It leaves your face smooth and soft.
Do we share any favorites?
Please let me know if you would like a more detailed review of any of these products! Thanks for reading!
