Custom-Made Shade from Pure Anada
11/04/08 at 09:48AM
First of all, it's Election Day! I still have (*looks at the clock*) eight hours more or less to vote. My dad called me overseas just to order me to vote for a particular candidate, which is funny because he thinks I'm still a 9-year-old that he ca...
On Nail Polishes and Nail Related Banter
11/02/08 at 12:26AM
I'm not as obsessed with nail lacquers as I am with makeup, but it's slowly getting there. I regularly buy my nail polishes (mostly O.P.I., China Glaze and Essie) on nail product sites such as 8ty8beauty and Head2Toe, because they sell these high en...

Soft Purples and Pinks
10/30/08 at 08:12PM
Here's a look using purples, pinks and plums from NYX and MAC. I threw in some brownish gold shadow from Silk Naturals to have a little bit of contrast. It's soft and office-appropriate. I used Pure Anada foundation in this look, and as always, I j...

Silk Naturals Lippies and A Neutral Look
10/28/08 at 04:22PM
A while back, I ordered some of my favorite lippies from Silk Naturals. I had a problem with my order because it took them two weeks to ship them out (very unusual for SN, and caused by some glitch in their system), but Karen made up for it by sendi...
Purples Using Aromaleigh, MAC and Urban Decay
10/27/08 at 02:03PM
Halloween is just around the corner so I thought of doing a little Halloween purple look. I used a pretty lavender shadow from Aromaleigh called Diamanda, and I think it went well with MAC's Memorabilia and Top Hat purple shadows. Also, last week, ...
MAC "Red" She Said: A Review
10/26/08 at 07:44AM
NOTE: Swatches can be found HERE. I always love the collection immediately before the holiday sets because the products, packaging and colors are just gorgeous and well thought-of. Just like Antiquitease of last year, this year's counterpart in "...
MAC For Ungaro: A Look and Review
10/25/08 at 05:53PM
I think Ungaro has been a pretty underrated collection, based on some of the reviews I've read online. Some people claimed that the color pay-off was not that good. I think that with a good base and a firm shader brush, you can get remarkable color...
MAC Sheersheen Minerals: A Review
10/24/08 at 02:27PM
I guess everybody knows I'm in love with mineral makeup. While some may argue that MAC's mineral makeup is not exactly made with pure, unadulterated minerals, I am still happy to be a fan of these as they are gorgeous and, more importantly, they don...
