MAC Satin Taupe & Freshwater

I don't know if I will ever be sick of MAC's eye shadows, I use them so often that I almost feel guilty for all of the other eye shadows I own because lately they haven't been getting used! Again, this is All That Glitters & Satin Taupe, but I decided to switch it up a bit. I used Freshwater over Satin Taupe & it looks so awesome. I rarely wear bright blues unless I'm tan because I feel like they wash my skin out & make me look ill. But, I could not resist purchasing Freshwater because it's so bright & gorgeous. After taking a few minutes to decide how the heck I was going to pull this color off, I decided to mute it down with Satin Taupe, which is a shimmery muted brown. I was really surprised, it looks more like a gun metal grey than blue, but either way it's so pretty. I got compliments all day on my eye shadow.

Piddle was not as excited as I was about taking a picture & please excuse my clothes rack in the background!

I haven't worn my hair straight in such a long time & I can really tell it's grown. It needs a trim & now that the wedding is over I'm going to cut a few inches off so it's not as damaged. I think I'm going to throw some low lights in too. I'm really tempted to do reverse ombre, where it's light on top & dark at the ends but who knows!

I got this necklace in lime & pink on EBay for $9.99 each which was a lot cheaper than most of the other places it was retailing. I love it but it is SO heavy! The shirt was on clearance at Forever 21 for $7.99, it's got gold & bronze sequins on the sleeves but it's almost like a crop top which I hate. I have a long torso & it's already hard for me to find shirts that are long enough!! You can't really see but my peep toe heels match the color of my shirt exactly, the camera did not pick up the color accurately.

Have a great weekend!

MAC All That Glitters & Satin Taupe Look

 Hi! I feel like it's been so long since I've had a chance to write! This time of year is always so crazy for me. We're super busy at my job so I have been putting in long hours & I've been trying to spend some quality time with family & friends.
This look is from about a week ago, I have been wearing my hair like this pretty often. I use the Conair Infiniti You Curl wand, which I purchased a LONG time ago & barely used because I thought it made my hair look weird. I looked up some YouTube video's and realized you have to curl away from your face! Since then, I have been wearing my hair like this a few days a week. I take 1" sections & curl it the night before, that way it's much looser waves in the morning, I usually just touch up the front a little bit, tease the top & I'm good to go in about 15-20 minutes. It does take about 30 minutes to curl my whole head, my hair is super thick & pretty long but I can wear it about 2-3 days with just touch ups in the mornings.

I need to tell you how obsessed I am with MAC's All That Glitters & Satin Taupe. I cannot stop wearing them! I use All That Glitters on my eyelid & Satin Taupe in my crease, sometimes I will use another color blended with Satin Taupe but there really isn't a need because they work perfect together.

Wow, my mirror is really dirty but this was the outfit from the same day. You know, I thought this scarf was black & gold paisley until halfway through the day& then I realized it was navy & gold. I got it on sale for $6 at Burlington. The shirt is a basic black 3/4 sleeve with lace on the top of the sleeves & just regular skinny dark wash jeans.  The shoes are my favorite part of the outfit.

My favorite pair of black flats ripped & I had to get a new pair. There is a store called the Shoe Department in my local mall and every time I go there I spend way too much on shoes! They always have the cutest shoes & they are so cheap! I picked up just a basic pair of black ballet flats, I also grabbed these amazing studded loafers for $14.98. They are super comfortable & so adorable!

Thanks for reading!

MAC HAUL

I know, I know, another MAC Haul, this will be the last one for a long time. I love their makeup but damn, I'm broke after the wedding! I have been on quite a shopping spree lately & I need to save in 2013. My husband travels for work & left for 14 days yesterday. I find that when I am bored I want to shop & eat, both of which I shouldn't be doing! I really hate when he's gone, I hate being alone at night so I barely sleep but such is life. Anyways on to my haul..

(Haha look at Butters in the background, that cat is a nut!) I always love the way MAC packages, it looks so cute & neat! I also have to compliment their shipping, it shipped on Tuesday & I had it Thursday morning.

 Here's what I ordered: 1 blush, 1 mineralized skin finish, 2 brushes, 1 cheek & lip color, 1 studio fix powder, 1 bronzer, 2 lipglasses & 3 lipsticks.

Of course, my cat couldn't leave his paws off of things! I moved him twice and he kept sneaking back into the picture! I love the way MAC's products are packaged, they always look so sleek & simple.

I picked up Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft & Gentle, I've been looking for a highlight that isn't too light. I also grabbed a Studio Finish Powder Foundation in NC40, I have NC25 & NC30 & needed something a little darker. I wanted a matte bronzer so I chose Bronze. I've reasearched Gingerly blush for awhile & decided to try it. My favorite purchase from the haul is MAC's

Casual Color in Out for Fun. It's for lips & cheeks & the color is just a gorgeous coral.

The three lipsticks I picked up were Angel, Please Me & Lady Danger. The lip glasses I got were Underage & Nymphette.

The 2 brushes I chose were the 203 Small Angle Brush & the 217 Blending brush.

I've been working a lot & I haven't had the chance to play with any of these but I can't wait to do some fun looks & show you! :)
