I've been doing a lot of bright eyeballs lately lol. I decided to tone it down a bit for today and just aim the focus on my "lee-yups" (lips), while smoking my eyes out just a bit. This is a look that's simple enough for a day-time look, but has enough punch to be fierce in the evening as well. Enjoy!

I am a complete sucker for bright, bold "in yo face" colors...so you know good and damn well I had to pick up some of the candy from the Dare to Wear collection by MAC. Sooo pretty, I'm all teeth right now, see? --> :D Anyway, I didn't buy everything, but I did get a handful of stuff to play with. I adore color, so this collection was right up my alley.

Better late than never right? To be honest I wanted to wait until I received my Stereo Rose MSF before I did this post just because I didn't wanna have to break this into two pieces. I felt this In The Groove collection was just okay -- I only bought five items. I already had two of the MSF's (Petticoat and Comfort), but not the "star" of the show, Stereo Rose. I heard about Stereo Rose a couple years ago and even back then, MSF starved folks everywhere were foaming at the mouths, selling their homes and children to get MAC to re-release it. When MAC first put it on the website, it sold out in like two hours. I missed out -- womp. Then a few days ago they put it back up on the website only to have it sell out again in less than an hour -- but this time I got mine ;)

(updated 8/21/10 w/ new swatches!) When my parents and I pulled up into their driveway today, my mom said "There's a package on the doorstep" and I just knew it was mine. I walked up to it, saw the HAUTELOOK tape wrapped around the small brown box and literally hit a Mariah Carey note of excitement. I knew exactly what it was! I grabbed my dog, tossed my box in the passenger seat and sped home to open my little box of joy in the form of Rock & Republic blushes ($40 each). I didn't order these directly from the Rock & Republic website...instead I got them half price on Hautelook! *poplocks with passion and conviction*

This past Saturday, my parents and I took a trip on my dad's boat and I had a blast despite it being hotter than Hell on payday. This is the look I wore, not realizing it was gonna be as hot as it was, but it stayed on pretty well all things considered. I paired up two of my favorite MAC eyeshadows -- "Cool Heat" and "Signed, Sealed" to come up with this super quick smokey blue.

Heavens to Betsy! I finally got my Chanel fix in the form of a beautiful blue-based red lipstick called Paris from Chanel's Rouge Coco line. This lipstick is everything. Smooth, creamy, hydrating, super long lasting...and gorgeous. I have a serious love for beautiful blue-based red lipsticks, they are my favorite -- and Paris has wiggled her way into my top favorite reds. I picked this tube up at the Chanel counter at my local Macy's...after telling myself I wasn't gonna buy it anytime soon. Chanel lipsticks are expensive, and I just cannot go around spending $30 on a single tube of lipstick all willy-nilly...
