Here's a little secret...this was my very first red lipstick that I paid over $10 for. It holds a special place in my heart -- and apparently my mom's makeup bag because for months she wouldn't give it back to me. Terrible, but I can't blame her because she looked amazing with it on. Kat Von D has a really great line of makeup and the prices aren't too shabby either, especially when you take the quality into account.

I wish someone would have told me this movie The Blind Side was a tear-jerker because I'm about to cry off all my Maleficent makeup! Woooo *fans self* I'm a sucker for touching movies like this. Anyway, here's another MAC Venomous Villains inspired look using the She Who Dares mineralize eyeshadow from the Maleficent collection along with a few other goodies :)

I'm a fan of MAC, and feel they're a great overall brand and they tend to stay pretty consistent...but lots of us know that when it comes to the mascara department, they tend to drop the ball. I wasn't in a huge hurry to try this new Haute & Naughty Lash mascara, but after seeing several reviews and gathering that the overall reception has been positive, I decided to buy it and give it a try. It retails for $18 and offers you two choices -- you can either have a soft natural effect, or you can up the amp and do it big with bold dramatic lashes.

Hautelook recently had a nice NYX sale, so I was held at lipgloss-point to purchase a few items. I had to! I picked up two of their newest palettes in Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit and Purple Smokey Look Kit ($11 each). These little bundles of joy come with 9 eyeshadows, 2 lip colors and a tiny lip brush and sponge-tip applicator. They're both about the size of a MAC mineralize blush and to be so cheap, they pack a nice punch.

I'm still excited from MAC's latest Disney inspired collection "Venomous Villains", mainly due to me being a big child at heart. I even went to my parents house today because I realized I was missing my Sleeping Beauty DVD and it's not at their house either *sad face*, so I dunno where it is! I'm heartbroken, it's my all-time favorite Disney classic. I used to watch that movie every single day when I was little and re-enact the entire thing with my cousins and friends. It was an adorable obsession, so seeing the movie now at the near age of 30 just makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Anyway, Maleficent was definitely my favorite overall collection, and I wanted to do a simple look using the gorgeous mineralize eyeshadow "My Dark Magic".

Oh boy, this took forever!! So many pictures. I'm exhausted. For those of you who follow me on twitter and have joined my facebook page (stab that "like" button, btw), you saw a few preview images from all the crap I bought from this massive MAC Venomous Villains collection. Monday night I raced home to make sure I'd be able to order everything I wanted before it sold out (which it did about 2 hours later). It was an exciting and stressful rush, because I always -- ALWAYS miss out on stuff! Not this time *evil laugh*
