Well, Kristin is still out at Burning Man and I’m still recovering from being sick, but I’m so glad to be back on the blog!  It’s been nice to relax as a newly married old lady (heh), even if I have felt like crap, ha!  It feels even better to put my face on and feel like “me!”  I’ve also been experimenting with layering my necklaces.  I’m wearing 2 wax seal pendants from Plum and Posey and a hummingbird skull pendant from Skeletos; both sellers can be found on Etsy.


MAKEUP BREAKDOWN:

FACE:  MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW10, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, MAC Set Powder in Invisible, NYX HD Blush in Taupe to contour, Benefit Dandelion Blush, Guerlain Meteorites in Clair

EYES:  Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow in Bone, Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Skimp, Bordello, and AC/DC(Feminine Palette), L’Oreal Super Slim Liner Black, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Ebony, Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara black

LIPS:  Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lovecraft

What are you wearing today?

Makeup of the Day – MAC does purples right

A while back, a friend of mine sent me some MAC makeup.  One item was this Chromaline cream liner in Rich Purple, which is a rich plum shade.  I’ve tried several times to wear it as eyeliner, but it has just enough red in it to make it look like I’ve been crying or something! Same thing happens when I wear pink eyeshadow.  Anyway, it’s such a big jar and I don’t want to waste it, so today I thought I would try it as a cream eyeshadow.  I placed it on the lower lid, and then I used a cooler blue-purple shadow under the eyes and in the crease and my regular black eyeliner on the top lid.  I think it worked!

Omg, that hair frizz!  It’s humid in August in the South, guys.
