MAC Surf, Baby! look and tutorial

Surf, Baby! haul + swatches!

I'll tell you one thing: If I had more money, I'd have gotten more products from Surf, Baby!

But oh well.. I bought four of these things myself, and that's a lot in my student budget! ;)

Keep reading to see swatches :)

Favorites of the month: April '11 + Giveaway

This post is definitely a bit overdue, but better late than never, right? :)
I always love watching "favorites videos" and reading "favorites posts" when other people do them, so I want to make sure that I do them when I have time as well! :)

Quite Cute!

I've had these pictures on my camera for weeks, but haven't gotten around to posting them.
Sorryyyyyy!

I did this look using mainly products from the MAC Quite Cute collection, which I was pretty excited about - mostly because of Candy Yum-Yum, which is the most amazing, matte pink lipstick. Ever.

I wasn't really excited about the eyeshadow palette at first, but after using it a couple of times, I actually think it is exactly what it's supposed to be: cute ;)
The pastel colors are great for spring, and even though they're far from being the most pigmented shadows I've ever used, they work well for certain looks, especially if paired with more pigmented, matte shades to give the looks some depth.
All I used besides the eyeshadow palette in this look was actually a colored base in the crease!
And I'm honestly surprised at how much I like the pink color in the palette! Definitely my favorite of the four :)

Playing with colors, glitter and lip tars!

Bright colors are awesome!
I finally had the time to play around with some fun makeup today, and this is what I ended up with! :)
