To the Beach Blues

So I'm only adding these swatches because Wangie asked me to (I was only planning on sharing them in a locked space before). This is a teal look I made using some of the new products from Mac's To the Beach collection, namely Float on By and Flurry of Fun (Uh-Maize-Ing color). I also used a solid blue (Royal Wink) and Black with this look. This reminds me a lot of my expectations from Blast 'O' Blue (C-shock).







Here I was earlier in the day w/o Royal Wink.



I really had a lot of fun with this, but I don't plan on me posting things like this too often.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Just a purple look from yesterday. For some reason, photographing purples never works well for me. This was really bright, but came washed out in all of the photos that I took. There was MUFE 92 in this look which is really really bright.







And just because I liked the stripes:

Red and Black

Well last night was a very good night. I went to a bar that I know didn't make mojitos, but I stopped by the nearby Safeway just to pick up some mint (just in case). Luckily the bartender was open to making us mojitos. She didn't know how, but she made a really nice crack at it for a beginner. :)

The look of the night featured red and black with lots of glittery sparkly things.
These are red leggings with black lace leggings on top.

Quick Update

Like I said last time, it's just that time of year when everything is crazy with wrapping everything up.
Never the less, I had a chance to go to MAC and get Opulash. It's AMAZING. I have tiny little stumps of lashes and this really colors them and lengthens them. I also like how quickly this dries unlike other MAC mascaras. I hear that people compare it to DiorShow, but since I don't use products by Dior I don't know.

I also picked up Cherry Electric SuperGlass. *LOVE*
Here is a swatch of a custom color (Magenta lip liner, Impassioned Lipstick, Frozen White Pigment).

With Glimmer Glass:


The one drawback to this is the staying power of the glitter. Staying power is a good thing, but something about this seemed to be a little stronger than other glittery products (Dazzleglass) that I've used.

I also love the thought of shiny glassy looking black lips so I worked on making a lip gloss. Then I started using that with my black lipstick and picked up the white Luster Glass. I'm planning on wearing this out tomorrow night.
