February 2nd, 2010 — Chanel, Pick-me-up, Take 2
I did this late in the day yesterday — then my Internet went down. It was fixed this morning.
I added Chanel Silvery to the eyes and Chanel Soft Mink to lips.
Without the greys:
Which do you prefer? I know which one I like!

January 16th, 2010 — Pick-me-up, Take 2
My Avon rep has had a good sale over the weekend because packaging and colors are changing, so I picked up some glosses. She had a limited number of colors, but it is always fun to pick up something you might not normally wear until it is too good to pass up.
All I did was add
Avon Glazewear Extreme Coral Crush
I thought it was a beautiful color. It made me happy!

December 16th, 2009 — Cosmetics, Lip Gloss, MAC, Pick-me-up, Review, Take 2, Techniques
This morning came very early, especially since I stayed up way too late last night.
Can you say 4 hours of sleep? Luckily for me, I don’t need a lot of sleep, but on a consistent basis I need a bit more than 4 hours.
I basically threw some clothes on, used a cut piece of MAC wipes (cleansing towelettes $15 for 45) to carefully freshen my eye makeup — I removed a bit of smudge, but not the eye makeup, and put on lipstick.
In less than 5 minutes I had a pick-me-up, and I was ready to go to take my youngest to school.
I took a couple of pictures, but I’m not sure I’m going to share them. I looked good, but not the way I looked later in the day. Let’s keep the illusions, shall we!
Here’s the lippie I chose:
NYX Gold Pink
But I want to report on how well the MAC graphblack and earthline holds up after a long night and very little sleep. Nothing migrated into my eye, despite the fact that I apply the graphblack to the waterline.
For most people, I would have looked as if I had done my complete makeup, not that I had slept in it.
I think that is a pretty good recommendation, don’t you!
I was talking with the MAC SA last week who did my makeover, and she told me that these pencils are waterproof, which might be why they work so well. But there is nothing on the pencils to indicate they are.
I bought these colors because first, I loved the way they looked on another SA the week before, and when she put them on me, I loved the way they looked on me too.
Meantime, on other nights and mornings, the skin around my eyes has been irritated from whatever makeup I didn’t remove, either from the mascara, pencils, or minerals — or all of it) and I had to take off the complete eye makeup, cleanse and re-moisturize before I could head out the door — and sometimes it took a couple of days for the redness of my skin to recover.
Not today. I was good to go. And I did.
I had a great day, how about you? This was just the beginning.

November 24th, 2009 — Beauté, Cosmetics, Lip Gloss, Pencils, Pick-me-up, Review, Take 2, Too Faced
Girls Dig Pearls glosses are amazingly beautiful. They have stunning almost holographic glitters.
I started out with one tube, liked it so well that I then went back for more.
I had an excellent SA at Sephora who showed me that she layered the gloss she bought with Caspian Lustre Liner, so I bought the pencil too. She layered the pencil with Pink Bling GDP gloss, which is what I did today also.
Shade descriptions:
Caspian pencil — coppery, pink-brown with lustre
Pink Bling — looks white in the tube with flashes of iridescent, light bright pink glitter
Mermaid — looks beige in tube, then you notice pink glitter — I bought this because another SA was wearing it alone on her lip and it was such a beautiful neutral
Shell light pink with pink glitter, the glitter might be the same as in Mermaid
Tropical Pink orchid magenta with deeper bright pink glitter
Taken in direct sunlight
Top to bottom: Caspian pencil; Pink Bling; Mermaid; Shell; Tropical Pink
Caspian and Pink Bling, using Beauté techniques:
Technique: See more at my blog here.
Applied Pink Bling on lower lip, Caspian on top; smooshed lips together (keeps both clean); used lip brush to add tiny bit of Pink Bling along outer edge of upper lip (it was already on the lower and didn’t need touch up.)
Taken in full sunlight
So you can see how pretty it is!
Take 2 FOTD Different lippie here.
You can see the subtlety of the lip technique here.
11 yo said, unsolicited
Oh, I just love that lipstick — everything about it!
Day 2
Mermaid using Pink Bling on rim
I love, love, love this technique. I used Guerlain Lip Lift to block out any stain on my lips so this would be a fairly true picture.
Do you have these glosses? Do you love them?
I wear mine both alone and with the Caspian pencil. I have worn the pencil alone also. I have not worn them with other brands.
If you are a gloss addict
You need these in your stash. Start with what you think would be your fave, then add to it, if you love it.

All I did was change the lippie. It was a 30 second pick-me-up.
NYX Goddess of the Night gloss in Gold Pink 131
The color is deeper and more of a wine than either of the photos show.
It was a little tricky using the applicator (which is fairly large) to color my lips evenly.
It’s a very pretty color.

I was matching my top, which is a serendipitous match to a wonderful wrap skirt/dress from Las Vegas. They sell these wraps in several places, including inside and outside the mall and by the Venetian food court, but I hadn’t bought one until this past trip. It looks best on me as a skirt. My girls wear theirs as dresses too. All you are limited by is your imagination and the colors of the patterns they have. Included in the price is a DVD with styles and a sheet detailing how to wrap.
Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost
Shadows: Sheer Cover Eye collection, the warm colors
Drylined top and lower: AL Lagoon
Brows: Clinique pencil
Concealer: Dior Skinflash
Nose: MAC Concealer, blended with triangle sponge
Primer and Foundation: Arbonne
Rouge: MK stick
Powder: My sparkly powder
Highlight up the center of my face: Benefit Georgia Peach
Blush: Chanel Rose Petal
Lips: Arbonne Gleam a perfect match!
Take 2
Later during Book Girl’s Arbonne party I layered up the Audrey Eye Look over the top of this one. I never thought to take a picture of me. I was too busy taking every one else’s picture!
What do you think?
I was really pleased with how this turned out. Days like this I think I should keep a color log of really, really good combos. I feel the same way when I get a good comment here. I go back and take a second look to remember what I did.
To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don’t have a representative, just ask.

June 26th, 2009 — Creating a new lippie, Inky Productions, Jewelry, LOTD, Language of flowers, Pick-me-up, Review, Sephora, Take 2, Yves St Laurent
All I did was add
Sephora #10 gloss + YSL 12 sparkling brilliance
to whatever was left of the AL lippie (Karma.)
The Sephora is a gorgeous plum with gold sparks. I don’t like the taste, which is pure grape soda. It does leave though. I don’t know if the other glosses taste or smell the same, as this is the only one I own. Do they? I thought maybe it smelled like grape because it looks grape. 5 for the gloss; 1 for taste
The YSL is a sparkly plum, a bit on the warm side, at least the opaque wand makes it look like that.
The one earring is a gorgeous one from Bookgirl. (Inky Productions).(Jonquil which means desire.) The other is one I beaded (carved turquoise.)

June 19th, 2009 — Beauté, LOTD, Lip Gloss, Lipstick, NYX, Pick-me-up, Take 2
This is the last of my 30 NYX colors for $24. Such a deal! I saved the more brown/apricot for last, because I don’t wear them as well. These lip pix were all from Thursday.
NYX Aphrodite, rimmed and a tad in center of Beauté Paramour
This pinks up a bit with the rim and center touched with Paramour.
NYX Hermes straight out of the tube
You can see how brown this is, plus you can see my own lip color peeking around the edges. Use of a lip pencil would camouflage my lip color (which stains with a bit of color from previous lipstick worn on Thursday) (I could, of course, remove it completely) but then it would likely affect the color of the lipstick too. This gives a truer idea of the color.
NYX Hermes + NYX Opal over both lips after Hermes was a little gone
You can see what a beautiful color Opal is — it looks beigy white in the tube, but is strongly iridescent orchid. I knew it would be beautiful with other colors. I just hadn’t tried it until now. It is quite pretty alone, using just a bit of it.
And here’s what it looks like full face, Take 2, with the same makeup as Thursday’s FOTD. That’s all I did in the entire day — so you can see how well all the colors, foundation and mascara last.

This picture was taken later in the day. You can see how well everything has lasted and how the Lancome mineral makeup looks as it sits longer. You can also see how well the Tarte lower lash mascara looks as hours pass.
All I did was add NYX Silver Plum Goddess of the Night gloss.
What do you think? Do you prefer me in a liquid foundation or the minerals? Or are they both the same to you?
At least I don’t find myself itching with the Lancome. I’m not sure if that sensation is from the minerals I’ve tried or the pokiness of the brush I had used. The Lancome brush is a wonder, so soft and luxuriant.
If you use AL brushes to apply your minerals, go by a Lancome counter and feel the Lancome mineral brush. Please tell me how they compare.

April 22nd, 2009 — Avon, NYX, Pick-me-up, Take 2
I’ve wanted to tweak my look all day, but am just getting around to it.
I had an idea when I put the NYX trio shadow set away, after I posted my FOTD, that they might make beautiful blush, so I took my MAC fiber optic small blush brush and brushed it across all 3 of the shadows and applied as blush. I think I will like it as blush more than eye shadow. What do you think?
Here I added:
Avon Ruby Slippers Glazewear Dazzlers
I think it perked it up. Plus in this picture you can see the brown in my crease. The other pictures I posted earlier didn’t really show that.
Here’s what it looked like earlier with the other lippie and minus using the shadows as blush:
Tell me what you think.
I hope you’ve had a happy, fulfilling day!

I’ve really been enjoying the Beauté glosses. So far, they are truthful in their claims of volumizing the lips as well as moisturizing. You can see my review here.
I will update my review with these pictures too.
Lips: Love this color!
Isn’t this a great color!
Beauté Urge (a red) rimmed with Beauté Paramour (and in the center)
This is what I had hoped the MAC would look like yesterday, but it was too pink.
Later in the day:
Heroine rimmed with Allure, using Allure up the middle also.
This is an absolutely perfect shade of neutral mauve. I felt it was me only better. I loved it!
Have you tried Beauté glosses yet?
What’s your favorite color? How do you like them?
My take: I love the colors I’ve tried.
So far, my lips are fine. They feel volumized — and it is very even. It’s a whole lot easier than injections, which I’ve never tried — not to mention some of the horror stories — and no pain or stinging.
I have tried them over another lippie and I liked that too. It still felt volumized.

The eyeshadow tended to drift over the day, perhaps because of the base I used.
I wondered how it would look if I went over it with a damp brush, which is what I did here:
Voila! Fixed and foiled. It has become sheerer than this over the last five hours. I still like it. It’s just a softer look.
