That's it for now.. I'm itching again to buy more MAC..it's been almost 2 weeks..The CoC tutorials on YT make me want to get at least one quad from that collection..boo me..can't resist..

He cheated but I still love him

I'm talking about MAC, you sillies..

Now we all know i was frustrated about MAC's new pigment content but i must admit, these are gorgeous colors, but still not worth $20 for a half-full jar. Like what Nessa said, now if they were $10 it would be okay. We can only hope for that my friend..lol

So here are some looks I came up with using my newly acquired pigments..

Look #1 Heritage Rouge
I fell in love with this pigment when i swatched it at the store. I was first hesitant to get it since i THOUGHT Cranberry e/s looks like it, i swatched it side by side though and they don't look similar at all..Heritage Rouge is a winner in my book..Uber-pigmented! It is a very rich burgundy color. Now, this may tend to look a little vampy or goth-ish, so be careful with what you'll choose to wear with it (shadows, lip color, blush)..Mine almost looked a little too vampy..

I thought I looked a little goth-ish. My black hair didn't help either..lol





Look #2 Antiqued Green
I love this one too. It's not as vibrant and unique as the first one but you know how much of a sucker I am for teals/green. I also thought this one was close to Teal pigment, but again, I was wrong..I need to be more familiar with my eye shadows..haha

By the way, this FOTD was kind of a waste. I was supposed to go to the club Friday night, I hurried to get ready and all, only to find out my friends cancel right when they were about to pick me up..Don't you just love that?

Pardon the brow mess..




My hair wasn't done yet..OOGLY


Oh, I am starting to love my skin again, thanks to my good friend, Ly-na


This was taken when I got home from work..You can tell by the oil spill on the face, but i just wanted to show that pigments are crease-free when foiled, mind you it was very HUMID today..so, good job!




Btw, I didn't get any of the quads from the Cult of Cherry collection. they were blah to me. Nothing special. The only stuff i picked up from this collection was Jampacked l/g and Lightly Ripe l/s. And the 2 pigments from Overrich. I was going to get Museum Bronze pig. but for some reason they didn't get that one. I also might go back for a couple more lippies from the Cult of Cherry, any recommendations on what the MUST HAVES are?

Holla!

chubby-cheeckin'


Did i ever mention how much i love MAC's Teal Pigment?

a repeat..




there you have it..i've been having BMUDs (Bad Make-Up Days) recently..

Cult of Cherry and Overrich comes out tomorrow..We'll see what i'll be picking up..Hope to keep it under $100..Good Luck to me..:)

Smokey Sienna

This is the look I wore to work last Friday..It may be a little too dramatic to those who work in a corporate office, but I work in retail so it was okay..My co-workers actually loved it!

This is sort of a toned-down version of a smoky eye..I think i've mentioned before that i have never rocked a genuine smoky eye, meaning black e/s on main lid area. i don't know what it is, but i am intimidated by that look as much i am by red lipstick..

Cam-whored much?




the top is from Charlotte Russe, i got it for $6..great deal..especially for something that i will probably wear once or maybe twice the most..

..excuse the mess..



Oh and I've been doing really good with my no buy..well, i can't say i didn't buy anything but i consider 1 MAC product, 1 $8 dollar dress from Macy's and 1 pair of Steve Maddens in 2 weeks nothing compared to how i used to spend money..so i'd like to say I've been really good..But the bf promised to take me MAC shopping when he comes back so we'll see how that goes.. Ooooh..i'm excited..i feel like I've been deprived of MAC for so long..haha..

That's all for now..

Gaaah..it's Monday again..Oh how i hate Mondays..2 days off are not enough..but the bf comes back from military training on Tuesday, so yay!..
