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 ;)

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.

I haven't been around nor have I felt like posting anything the past week. As some of you may know, my grandfather passed away and I totally lost interest for a short while...but then I remembered that he wouldn't want me all sad n crap, crying and snottin' up the joint. So I put on my biggest smile and did this super bright and fun look for you. I saw this photo here, got inspired and wanted to do a more wearable version. This look actually made me happy and feeling like my old self, so here we go..

Filed in » mac, pink on brown
It's been a long time since I've done a Pink on Brown lip. I'd say about 70% of my lipsticks are in the pink family, so finding a pink to use for this series isn't exactly hard. My problem is that I can never make up my mind which pink I wanna do next, knowing that I'm gonna eventually go thru them all. Terrible. So here's a pink that I adore from MAC called Lickable (cremesheen). It's a pretty blue-based cool pink, with lots of shiny agents thrown in for good measure.

I can't even begin to stress how hot it is outside. Oh wait, yes I can! It's hotter than the devils nutsack -- that's how hot it is. Not just hot, but it's steamy. The east coast humidity blows a big one. It ruins the entire summer. You literally walk outside, stand there doing nothing, and you're dripping with sweat. It's awful. I honestly didn't feel like leaving the house -- let alone doing my makeup, but then I got a lil inspiration when I flipped thru the Discovery Channel and saw some pretty oceanic blues and greens. Two of my favorite colors to play around with. I couldn't decide if I wanted to do something bright, or something smokey -- so I combined the two. This is nothing special, but it's a fun look to do when you're bored. It actually got me a few compliments when I went to CVS today LOL!!
