A few people on twitter asked me to do a MAC brush overview of the ones I own, and which five I recommend to start with. I figured it might prove to be helpful for some of you, so here we go! MAC is known for their amazing brushes and for the most part, the hype is very well deserved. I have to admit, my first MAC brush was a 168SE (special edition) and I was less than wow'd by it. I was like "This?? This is why everyone's drinking the MAC brush koolaid?? Girl bye!". It wasn't a terrible brush, but it wasn't connecting the hype dots for me at all. It was just okay at best. I would later find out why that brush sucked in comparison to the regular MAC brushes...

I was watching Tanya, one of my favorite Youtube guru's, do a dramatically sexy and smokey purple eyeshadow look using a color that I've owned for a while and never used (shameful), so I decided to do a lighter, more playful spin on it. I haven't created a purple look for my blog yet and that's really sad because purple is actually one of my top three favorite colors to play around with. It really looks great with brown-eyes!

I went in on that Rock & Republic cosmetic sale and got a ton of really nice products for half off. I love a good sale, and that one seemed to be going on for the longest. Recently I picked up their Tinted Primer and Tinted Illuminizer duo, both are priced at $46 (each), but the duo was priced at $46 for both. Add the 50% off coupon and that's both items for just $23 :D Heck yes...

I did this Naked FOTD a few days ago, and since I'm home sick in bed I figured I'd post it. This is look number 4 of a promised 5-look series using the Urban Decay Naked palette. This look is perfect for work, or a quick everyday solution. I've done three smokey-eye looks with this palette already and promised to show you guys a softer, more wearable way to rock this gorgeous palette.

Someone asked me to swatch the pigments from the Fabulous Feline's collection by MAC, so here we go. Four out of six pigments I already had. I didn't get the new Bloodline pigment because it literally sold out by the time I saw a decent swatch of it. Dah well..here are the other five...

Ughhh, I've been taken down by a cold but fighting very hard to get rid of it so I can live my life. Yesterday was complete and utter hell for me! People would call me on the phone just to hear me sound like Gucci Mane. Just horrible. Coughing, sneezing, stuffy everything, weak, unable to eat...the worst. Today I feel a lot better but still not 100%. I wanted to do a FOTD that uses colors based on how I feel. Dirty dark greenish golds, blacks, queasy purples...you get the picture..
