MAC and Hello Kitty

I am SO EXCITED about this new collection!
It's supposed to be released in February(anniversary for Barbie '07 and Fafi '08) and there will be both regular items as well as a "Kitty Kouture" line that includes packaging with Swarowski crystals!

If you're interested in reading more about this take a look at:

Are you looking forward to the Hello Kitty makeup? :)

Prep+Prime lash

I tried MAC Prep+Prime Lash today and I LOVE it so far! It makes my lashes super long :)
I'll have to take pictures that compare my regular mascara to my regular mascara w/ prep+prime so you guys can see the difference! :)

Have you tried it? What do you think about it?
And what do you think about the other Prep+Prime products?

Bright Fuchsia

Oh, the joys of bright colors and glitter! :D
I used one of the MAC reflect transparent glitters as a liner for this look and I think it's super gorgeous! The reflect transparent glitters can be used in many different ways to create some super cool effects. I used the pink one but it doesn't look like a bright pink liner - more like a shimmery silver liner that kinda reflects pink :)
I'll have to make a post about glitters soon! :D







I used:

Eyes:
ArtDeco eyeshadow base
MAC Bright Fuchsia pigment (PRO) This is NOT eyesafe! But hey, use it at your own risk :P
MAC Fuchsia pigment
MAC Beauty Marked e/s
MAC Shroom e/s
MAC Blacktrack f/l
MAC Reflect transparent pink glitter (PRO)
MAC Eyeliner mixing medium (PRO)

Lips:
MAC Hue l/s

Smokey Chartreuse

I love all different kinds of smokey looks soooo much!
Here's a black/green one with a little purple glitter :p

Excuse the pictures - the lightning in my room sucks and it was dark outside so I had to use flash ;)






I used:

Eyes:
ArtDeco eyeshadow base
MAC Blacktrack f/l as base on lid
MAC Carbon e/s
MAC Naked pigment
MAC Chartreuse pigment (PRO)
MAC Digit e/s
MAC Royal Hue s/s (DC)
MAC Crystalled purple glitter (PRO) + MAC eyeliner mixing medium (PRO)

It doesn't show in the pics so it doesn't really matter xD

Lips:
MAC Impassioned l/s
MAC Fulfilled plushglass

How to create the look
Eyes:
- Apply eyeshadow base from lashes to eyebrow.
- Apply a black base on your eyelid. I used Blacktrack f/l. Use a finger/q-tip/brush to blend the edge to avoid harsh lines
- Apply a matte, black e/s on top of the black base. I used MAC Carbon e/s
- Apply a highlight color on your browbone. I used MAC Naked pigment
- Use a light green color to blend the black into the highlight. I used MAC Chartreuse pigment
- Apply a dark purple base on the outer part of your lower lashline. I used MAC Royal Hue s/s.
- Mix a purple glitter with eyeliner mixing medium and apply it on top of the purple base as well as on the very outer part of your upper lashline.
- Apply a highlight on your tearduct area and inner art of your lower lashline. I used a light lavender - MAC Digit e/s

Lips:
- Apply Impassioned l/s and add Fulfilled plushglass on top. This combo is similar to Lustering lipstick too :)

And we're done ;D

Dramatic look based on the "Love Alert" facechart

I wanted to recreate the Love Alert facechart from the MAC "Red" She Said collection - but without using any of the products ;)
This is what I came up with. It came out a little more dark and dramatic than I wanted and I wasn't able to get any good pics so you'll have to look at crappy cell phone pics. Sorry about that! But you get the idea :)
