<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Halloween is my favorite time of year. You can go all out on crazy makeup!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here's a look I recently did, I was inspired by Petrilude on YouTube. He's always been my favorite YouTuber because he is so creative & amazing! (I posted his picture below for reference).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used liquid latex & tissues to build the wound area. I did one layer on the outer perimeter, then built it up closer to my eye area so that I could get the effect of the skin being pulled off or ripped open. The smaller wounds are just liquid latex. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After all of the tissue/latex dried, I used a heavy concealer & foundation all over. I took a sponge that I got with Halloween makeup to stipple, some green, yellow & black on my skin. I then put the foundation on top & blended it out a bit. I wanted it to look like something was going on under my skin. I used a powder much lighter than my skin tone to blend everything together. You want to make sure that the latex & tissue area blends really well with your skin. Next I peeled the latex area back, you can form it to however your little heart desires!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I started contouring the parts of my face where I wanted it to look sunken in. Mainly around my eyes, nose, cheekbones & lips. I used Wet n Wild Color Icon I Heart Matte Eyeshadow Palette to contour, I mixed the dark brown burgundy color with purple & green and added depth with black. I also applied the white to my face to help make me look extra pale!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I painted (with Mehron Bruise Wheel) the inside (where the latex is lifted) to black so that it would have depth & look like a deep wound. Then, around the inside a with dark burgundy color. I applied Mehron Coagulated Blood Gel & fake blood. I also took tweezers & pulled the smaller areas of latex apart and applied fake blood. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can watch Petrilude's video </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op_SVJHpmxI"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here,</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> it's easier to see it than have someone explain it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I am venturing out into SFX makeup & I have been doing a lot of playing around! I have done a few looks that I will be sharing over the next few days.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The first look I will be sharing with you has a few different names, it is most commonly referred to as the Glasgow Smile, Chelsea Smile or Joker Smile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Definition from Wikipedia:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">A Glasgow smile (also known as a Glasgow, Chelsea, or</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">Cheshire</span><span style="color: black;"> grin) is a </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">wound</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"> caused by making small cuts on the corners of a victim's mouth, then beating or stabbing him/her until the muscles in the face contract, causing the cuts to extend up the cheeks to the victim's ears. This leaves a scar in the shape of a smile, hence the name.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_smile#cite_note-1"></a></sup></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDcBXCgDF0Cl7ZxX-syA00x3gBDMMzGb7qVHAoMQliX80uiBV6AVQQOt4Xl2ra5VyqddayVaV9GcO3i6t_lkN9cgRET-kS7Bez4L0YjeFXBGgHGsfOxdHi2NKm4ckQz_hPSFg1HX34jLKl/s1600/glasgow1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDcBXCgDF0Cl7ZxX-syA00x3gBDMMzGb7qVHAoMQliX80uiBV6AVQQOt4Xl2ra5VyqddayVaV9GcO3i6t_lkN9cgRET-kS7Bez4L0YjeFXBGgHGsfOxdHi2NKm4ckQz_hPSFg1HX34jLKl/s320/glasgow1.jpg" width="262" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> My brother bought me Ben Nye Nose/Scar Wax a few years ago for Christmas because I was planning on getting into FX makeup, however, I got side tracked & never got to play around. So fast forward to a few weeks ago, I started debating what I should do for Halloween. I started researching when a picture of the Chelsea Smile popped up. I was instantly in love with the detail & I knew I had to give it a try.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcxdZEajBhfbkKZ33XmEgP-d8CfORg6dFxKSP4QvM3YVfqnevRdIPTTGU49aVEdcmZOVFeKfYgueECyvolBO601nneH4iRrZfu-luD5Q3mvZCwQIaV0EgjxBmr4ZbYPkuF6RGlKtDCKRq7/s1600/glasgow2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcxdZEajBhfbkKZ33XmEgP-d8CfORg6dFxKSP4QvM3YVfqnevRdIPTTGU49aVEdcmZOVFeKfYgueECyvolBO601nneH4iRrZfu-luD5Q3mvZCwQIaV0EgjxBmr4ZbYPkuF6RGlKtDCKRq7/s320/glasgow2.jpg" width="215" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I started with scar wax & molded it to about 3" long. I didn't know I should use Spirit Gum, so I didn't have that available (which would have made this much easier!). But I applied that to the side of my mouth, I worked one side at a time. I used a metal spatula to help mold the scar wax as close to my skin & make it blend. The wax is very sticky so I kept my hands coated with Vaseline to keep it from sticking to them. I applied 2-3 coats of liquid latex, allowing each coat to dry in between. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You want to be VERY careful with the next step, I took a pair of small scissors & starting making small snips at the wax/latex. I wanted it to looked jagged & ripped, not be a clean cut line. I also took a little latex on my fingers & bunched it together to look like the skin was torn. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaSKm7tIQ9cG3z_BKryd569wH-9ByVrQRxG7LG84oXHtwb49cxRf5Q7OD4_EfzD4y-8j7B36dmkL4E1f5DvOdd2VYTTTu_U-CYLoVTM2ygDZllVww9-eLxXSIyZwmfi1FOCMAZ3frpg7P/s1600/glasgow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaSKm7tIQ9cG3z_BKryd569wH-9ByVrQRxG7LG84oXHtwb49cxRf5Q7OD4_EfzD4y-8j7B36dmkL4E1f5DvOdd2VYTTTu_U-CYLoVTM2ygDZllVww9-eLxXSIyZwmfi1FOCMAZ3frpg7P/s320/glasgow.jpg" width="264" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used Mehron Master Bruise Wheel for the color. I used a deep burgundy color all over the wound & black under the flaps. This will create depth and dimension. I used a small paintbrush from a craft store for the application. I applied Mehron Coagulated Blood on a small brush all over the open area, this is almost like a gel & gives the illusion of a cut before it has scabbed over. Then, I applied fake blood that I got at a Halloween store. I used a sponge & stippling motion to make it appear more real. *Make sure that wherever you apply the latex does not have any hair, it will rip it out & it hurts! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope you like this look!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy October!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Can you believe I haven't posted since July? My sincerest apologies, my life has been upside down the last few months. I feel that I should explain about what exactly is going on. My parent's just got divorced after 37 years of marriage. As you can imagine, this was quite hard for me to handle & I have been trying to deal with it as best as possible. On top of that, my husband & I decided that we were going to move in with my father to help him adjust & so that we can save some money to purchase a house in the near future. More or less, I moved in to help my Dad through this difficult time & maybe help myself cope a little bit as well. So again, I apologize for being gone so long but I am finally feeling like myself again & ready to get back to blogging!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm going to do a review on my favorite MAC lipstick, Hue. I absolutely love this color & it has become my go to lipstick. I used to always use Myth but I would have to layer a pink toned gloss over top because Myth is super nude, alone it can really wash my skin out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikeQORY0TdOYT21JTHcW4GBfJya1d_65IhY4cgUxSrvP6DFZLIoi6jaiiWhGFfic5gxLJvrcz9VRG5b1wtEB9RCc81fVhzEFnB38i5qChjQ3Pc_jvcD1pnTVV87nUCDzKlHlu4XtdRyTea/s1600/IMG_9936.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikeQORY0TdOYT21JTHcW4GBfJya1d_65IhY4cgUxSrvP6DFZLIoi6jaiiWhGFfic5gxLJvrcz9VRG5b1wtEB9RCc81fVhzEFnB38i5qChjQ3Pc_jvcD1pnTVV87nUCDzKlHlu4XtdRyTea/s320/IMG_9936.jpg" width="228" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I started searching for a pink toned lipstick that I could use in place of Myth, just to try something different. After doing a ton of research, I stumbled upon Hue. MAC describes Hue as a soft pale pink & it is a Glaze. My personal opinion about MAC Glazes is that they are sheerer than most other MAC finishes & are almost like a gloss. They are not drying at all & I tend to use them more often than most other MAC finishes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZEMFC5J6D4VvBTYNUrVqgwq0vxcfghdjWkoydwoaVBxMykP0hVVZ9Gy0w5rbfmS_ThGbypAErxc4vLBcOy0so1rEoaomw3RB5StcHExwiu1ZZ3nVDJoEIdpzNJ0KCiFN6ndyzMz9EcH-N/s1600/IMG_9937.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZEMFC5J6D4VvBTYNUrVqgwq0vxcfghdjWkoydwoaVBxMykP0hVVZ9Gy0w5rbfmS_ThGbypAErxc4vLBcOy0so1rEoaomw3RB5StcHExwiu1ZZ3nVDJoEIdpzNJ0KCiFN6ndyzMz9EcH-N/s320/IMG_9937.jpg" width="176" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I like to use NYX's Slim Lip Liner in Rose (my favorite!) all over my lips & apply Hue on top. The liner is a lighter matte pink & Hue adds a bit of shine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfau2jFbvnrqJTnhXTtDLD8ziaisdqwnk98QzoA_B3fHgDXXkyxyz5mkHl7oMIkPOLdyudh2gNfobVfWshQTcLhcjLe2sxN3G3ocras3_ocWaPJMNdOn3GSm9YSqfifuwLL8CabA8sbA7o/s1600/IMG_9940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfau2jFbvnrqJTnhXTtDLD8ziaisdqwnk98QzoA_B3fHgDXXkyxyz5mkHl7oMIkPOLdyudh2gNfobVfWshQTcLhcjLe2sxN3G3ocras3_ocWaPJMNdOn3GSm9YSqfifuwLL8CabA8sbA7o/s320/IMG_9940.jpg" width="212" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is Hue in comparison to a few other MAC lipsticks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hue (Glaze), Myth (Satin), Please Me (Matte) & Snob (Satin)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is Hue on my lips. Again, I usually use a matte lip liner first, I feel like Hue is almost too light & glossy for me to wear alone. But it does look alright alone, I would use it if I was in a hurry & needed some color on lips. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Followers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am sorry that I have been MIA lately, I've been very busy doing wedding makeup & working.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is from a few weeks ago, I was doing makeup for a photo shoot & playing photographer assistant for the day. I'll post a few pictures of the model when I get the pictures back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used UDPP as a primer, I applied MAC All That Glitters to my eyelid. I used MAC Tempting on my crease & MAC Bronze on the outer corner. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For me, a pin up look is based on the eyeliner. I like to do a very precise cat eye with liquid liner, usually black or dark brown. It took me years to figure out how to work with liquid eyeliner, I started by using gel liner & a very small angled brush & then worked my way towards using liquid liner.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIIxXiVoLNNddYPOUHeITcYn8wDZ6L1RvjbPHNAhC7rzrhJWLzcCPoe8PXt8F7siBhsRLOWaIQ7CaNyijRuXRrZhLllwC-zoHqsL7eFDA9b02HbVnZ9eaAtE7z9qw8JtPH8MQ4JsRBZRf/s1600/IMG_0132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIIxXiVoLNNddYPOUHeITcYn8wDZ6L1RvjbPHNAhC7rzrhJWLzcCPoe8PXt8F7siBhsRLOWaIQ7CaNyijRuXRrZhLllwC-zoHqsL7eFDA9b02HbVnZ9eaAtE7z9qw8JtPH8MQ4JsRBZRf/s320/IMG_0132.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A better view of the eyeliner. This is Maybelline Lash Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner in Blackest Black. Hands down, my favorite eyeliner, I just wish it was waterproof! I do not use tape ( I get this question all the time). I draw a straight, thin line across my eyelid, then wing it out on the corner. I connect the two lines and fill in the rest.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used MAC Contrast under my lower lash line. I always us MAC Fluidline first, in either Blacktrack or Dipdown then set it with an eyeshadow color. If it's a warm color, I use Dipdown (brown) if it's a cool color, I use Blacktrack (black). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's how I wore my hair. This was REALLY easy, my hair was already wavy from the previous day. I took my bangs & twisted them to get a bump or poof, then I bobby pinned that section. Next, I took a teasing brush & combed my sides as slick as possible. My hair is very thick so I used a clip to help keep the pony tail high. I also teased it to get some volume. Next, I sprayed it with a very strong hold hair spray and tied the bandanna in. I got so many compliments & it took me less than 10 minutes!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you are having a great Wednesday! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I decided to play with a few of my Glamour Doll Eyes (GDE) shadows.

I wish I would have had a little more time for blending but I was already running late. One thing I have learned with loose shadows in to pat them on as opposed to rubbing them in. The Pixie Epoxy is also a must have for shimmery/sparkly shadows. It is a tacky base that makes the colors pop!

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I will be reviewing/swatching MAC Blue Brown pigment. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The Basics:</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 13px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;"><i>Pigment is a highly concentrated loose colour powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Create a subtle wash of colour or an intense effect. Does not streak or cake. Easy to blend and long-lasting. Please note: Pigments are sold by weight not volume. Containers can appear to be less than full due to settling of the products.</i></span></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The container comes with a twist off lid & a sifter. It can be quite messy to work with & I had fallout all over my vanity table!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have had my eye on this pigment for a few months but I have so many mineral eye shadows & other loose eye shadows that I rarely use. Once I googled the images, I was sold. This color is amazing. They offer so many different pigments that it's hard to make a decision. I have MAC Club & I love that color, this is a brighter bolder MAC Club. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's so hard to get this color to photograph right. This color is a duochrome, so in the container it is a reddish brown (like show above) but when the light hits is a certain way it reflects a green/teal color. I personally love duochromes because you can completely change the color with different primers & bases. It's like getting two eye shadows in one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Look at this color!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have quite a few colors that are close but still very unique. I purchased Glamour Doll Eyes (GDE) Dino Spotz quite some time ago but it became a favorite very quickly. They do look completely different in the container. I feel as though GDE Dino Spotz is a finer consistency, however, when applied it isn't as bold.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next is Wet N Wild's "Comfort Zone" Palette's definer. This is the right side's definer & as soon as I saw this color I loved it. Again, this is a dupe for MAC Club, which is the eye shadow version of MAC's Blue Brown pigment. It have that same chocolate/reddish base with the teal shimmer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is MAC's Club. You can see that this color and Wet N Wild's definer color are so close. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is just MAC's Blue Brown Pigment swatches with different primers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(From left to right)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. No Primer</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy (AMAZING!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Urban Decy Primer Potion</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Foiled with BFTE's Mix & Seal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Obviously, Pixie Epoxy makes this color look gorgeous. </span></div>

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">The original! A must-have for shimmery, sparkling shadows! </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">This is </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">not</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;"> an eye shadow primer, or really a base. It is to keep sparkles on and/or to make shimmery shadows appear "glossy": a foiled look without foiling. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Originally developed and formulated in 2007, this unique "glue" is designed to hold the sparkliest, most shimmery eye shadows in place, minimize "fallout", and also to easily create a foiled look without foiling. Don't worry, it's easily washed off, and while keeps shadows in a water-resistant state, the product itself is water-soluble (no silicones or oils).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are the swatches of the Dupes:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Front left to right)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. MAC Blue Brown Pigment (no primer or base)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. GDE Dino Spotz (no primer or base)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. GDE Dino Spotz foiled with BFTE's Mix & seal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. WW Definer from "Comfort Zone" palette (no primer or base)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. MAC Club (no primer or base)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ba35tfVGPEtyT5w-QfbqrHbxcCief6EBLawDMy-WI28HQLU4bx7bPNbzhrS3EsSgZX0R19lnpxFOmqgviYzuKosyFpFbeAqLrT6Qp88z-aCJDrQV9oOftDCDsj7NYB82IEbedDzjy3Gs/s1600/IMG_9998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ba35tfVGPEtyT5w-QfbqrHbxcCief6EBLawDMy-WI28HQLU4bx7bPNbzhrS3EsSgZX0R19lnpxFOmqgviYzuKosyFpFbeAqLrT6Qp88z-aCJDrQV9oOftDCDsj7NYB82IEbedDzjy3Gs/s320/IMG_9998.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though each color is close, they are still very different. GDE Dino Spotz is really close when foiled but still more red, less bold & when dry does not show as much teal. The WW definer is closer than MAC Club. In all honesty, Club doesn't really compare. It deosn't pull the teal tone unless foiled, it's closer to a red brown when applied dry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All in all, I love this pigment. I'm hoping to play with it later this evening & get a look to show you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This haul is from last week, I have done 3 weddings in 3 weeks & I always try to put 25% of my earning back into my makeup kit. So, I hit MAC's online store for some basic eye shadows and a few other things. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I ended up purchasing:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's a look I did using some of the new products. I used Bronze on my eyelid, Naked Lunch on my brow bone & inner corner. I used Dipdown on my lower lash line & topped it with Guacamole. I also used the Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus & Melba blush.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm also very excited to announce that I became an aunt on 5/23 for the fist time! My brother in law & sister in law welcomed a healthy baby boy, 8 pounds 1 oz & 20.5 inches long. His name is Dane Lee & I could not be more excited!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Friday Followers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like it's been such a long time since I posted an actual look & not swatches, so here is today's look!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For this look, I used MAC Woodwinked on my eyelid, Sumptuous Olive in the crease, Humid on my lower lash line & Shroom as a highlight on my brow bone Sumptuous Olive is one of my favorite colors & I think it really brings out the green in my eyes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0SdkUGQjMtn35nt912E_dBdXHzAJ5BwIJX70_Z_zz2i7MFPIWJdKDf-UFStm08o-299byvKdF4IqXfOUX7ewnGi1ZI-L9fc-7CM8_gYhhrl5SDv9KzkwEndDEUhUzKqomt6FyutrCGE/s1600/52413.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0SdkUGQjMtn35nt912E_dBdXHzAJ5BwIJX70_Z_zz2i7MFPIWJdKDf-UFStm08o-299byvKdF4IqXfOUX7ewnGi1ZI-L9fc-7CM8_gYhhrl5SDv9KzkwEndDEUhUzKqomt6FyutrCGE/s320/52413.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I filled my eyebrows in with NYX Slim Pencil in Taupe & set with a random eyebrow powder. I used Maybelline Lash Stiletto Liquid Liner in Blackest Black on my eyelid. I took a little MAC Fix+ and mixed it with Humid on my lower lash line. I finished with Maybelline Turbo Volume Mascara in Blackest Black.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFhQ4EcYH4bhVuTFEUl_Vsw5eo_yqkUuiO4Rd3d_8tJPLlKseza89N5Oo6AmwAFEcrw31vuoYIUfVTcSi2dKcWYDFPdqLtIW7O1k5Hbpufk-SgIkcWclmzm_r8vZXSLwLX-QYc2377tXOa/s1600/524131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFhQ4EcYH4bhVuTFEUl_Vsw5eo_yqkUuiO4Rd3d_8tJPLlKseza89N5Oo6AmwAFEcrw31vuoYIUfVTcSi2dKcWYDFPdqLtIW7O1k5Hbpufk-SgIkcWclmzm_r8vZXSLwLX-QYc2377tXOa/s320/524131.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used MAC Studio Fix Foundation Plus in NC30, MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC20 & MAC Pink Swoon for my blush.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> For my hair, I used Bedhead Wave Artist Iron. I took 2" sections and used the waver about 3" from my scalp, I feel like this gives more of a beach wave look. I run my fingers through each section & spray with a light hold hairspray. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used MAC Angel lipstick on my lips. I adore this color, it's almost the exact color of my lips but adds a warmer pink tone. A must have in my opinion. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Thursday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the last set of BFTE Cosmetics swatches that I have to post about, are you sick of these posts yet!?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last 3 are browns & they are Double Chocolate, Wizards Wand & Guilty Pleasures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As with the previous posts, I have swatched each color dry & then foiled them with BFTE's Mix & Seal. I have also included the descriptions directly from BFTE's website (if available). If the descriptions were not posted on their website, I will try my best to describe the color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__VUzMEZruS9Lp1VfHaNXkvOin9mDthhSghaAHr3qxeNBXitFj39k-breBXwlDCIBKh4t7rbvO3QMG-KGwurRYfzCIf7dtufXTrJNmU_MeuTclO23hvyO-7Wzc6KoaT9tro58q2hTdbcz/s1600/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__VUzMEZruS9Lp1VfHaNXkvOin9mDthhSghaAHr3qxeNBXitFj39k-breBXwlDCIBKh4t7rbvO3QMG-KGwurRYfzCIf7dtufXTrJNmU_MeuTclO23hvyO-7Wzc6KoaT9tro58q2hTdbcz/s320/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Double Chocolate (no description available) - Rich chocolate brown with shimmer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wizards Wand - Dirty charcoal brown with golden iridescence.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guilty (spelled Gulity on BFTE's website) Pleasures (no description available)- Golden Brown with multi colored sparkles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh618fYkNpMSZqO1eSs889tRGKN7JbtOxBJQbRuUAdWPEqScPT5tjSgKMm3bSTHvWcJ7JbW8BE4Aj4Rw1MCmzx5Y5KZPjSkYN6sjWgHIkN7dcmoIaC1Scwq04LXkkcehpybS-B1FxNzWy8P/s1600/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh618fYkNpMSZqO1eSs889tRGKN7JbtOxBJQbRuUAdWPEqScPT5tjSgKMm3bSTHvWcJ7JbW8BE4Aj4Rw1MCmzx5Y5KZPjSkYN6sjWgHIkN7dcmoIaC1Scwq04LXkkcehpybS-B1FxNzWy8P/s320/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love browns & neutrals from all companies & these colors do not dissapoint. Double Chocolate is rich & super pigmented. I love it foiled & I am certain I will use this often. Wizards Wand is another color I love, I like it dry or foiled. It has just enough sparkle with out making it look childish, and the color is very complex. Guilty Pleasures is really nice too. I don't really know where I would wear this because the multi colored sparkles are pretty noticeable. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found a dupe for Double Chocolate, it's Glamour Doll Eyes (GDE) Chocoholic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMfc8ZbS_Tyk2ztIid4k4GhSADiUl9pvda4OAm0fJvFkO7jZH7X8qnTo4J4-8qjP1KMjHUe1VEZ4wWhf-G9W2Ah12j90tgxQED1pmn09E-eJsxrgTggyPhmxOB6L_EpjnxI5QbjuQVn4dR/s1600/Double+Chocolate+Chocoholic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMfc8ZbS_Tyk2ztIid4k4GhSADiUl9pvda4OAm0fJvFkO7jZH7X8qnTo4J4-8qjP1KMjHUe1VEZ4wWhf-G9W2Ah12j90tgxQED1pmn09E-eJsxrgTggyPhmxOB6L_EpjnxI5QbjuQVn4dR/s320/Double+Chocolate+Chocoholic.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see how close they look in the jars..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIm4cVFymk6UBINpDtdBX-ac2n7Ivnzml3PQOVWEll5DlzNSkLo-R0MxJ1sXDftXTYa5Kzq8Fz23VGWig2Y9kfQ4wx4WwRZNWq9ExXKmCtUopnfm4O0Ywyt2Tl911u2MGPAcYn9SV_LbD/s1600/Double+Chocolate+chocoholic+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIm4cVFymk6UBINpDtdBX-ac2n7Ivnzml3PQOVWEll5DlzNSkLo-R0MxJ1sXDftXTYa5Kzq8Fz23VGWig2Y9kfQ4wx4WwRZNWq9ExXKmCtUopnfm4O0Ywyt2Tl911u2MGPAcYn9SV_LbD/s320/Double+Chocolate+chocoholic+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How close are these two colors!? Chocoholic goes on a little darker dry, Double Chocolate looks a little chalky in the picture, but I assure you it's not! They are really close foiled, Double Chocolate is a little darker & less golden.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3FHuwsf8Qatb2Kx_2KhP1Tr04Pqh0oNcfM12OLVGvU1TtAs-8I8iL9raT9xSinVkfdf8G7bBdnxFBRyk-q4fwohrjBUWQo-FUz82zJC43VUevW-XeU2Dw7Vbex1ynn355fhbQbMOPYSM/s1600/Double+chocolate+chocoholic+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3FHuwsf8Qatb2Kx_2KhP1Tr04Pqh0oNcfM12OLVGvU1TtAs-8I8iL9raT9xSinVkfdf8G7bBdnxFBRyk-q4fwohrjBUWQo-FUz82zJC43VUevW-XeU2Dw7Vbex1ynn355fhbQbMOPYSM/s320/Double+chocolate+chocoholic+2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guilty Pleasures also has a dupe. Silly me forgot to take a picture of the bottom of the jars but it is Fyrinnae Shenanigans (left) & Guilty Pleasures (right).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWRpMoKCiniqPqo8E4yUV6eUSSNUatiitJFW2RhMpcl7FLyKALRm5X0WBOcRWMGTQxb_1jpwun9x7_akpZ0ZlvHiOAHn7SZvGL9n4-_Qtv296K2GuaaGlcgsCUybdhaemebKogBXox5RJP/s1600/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWRpMoKCiniqPqo8E4yUV6eUSSNUatiitJFW2RhMpcl7FLyKALRm5X0WBOcRWMGTQxb_1jpwun9x7_akpZ0ZlvHiOAHn7SZvGL9n4-_Qtv296K2GuaaGlcgsCUybdhaemebKogBXox5RJP/s320/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These two are very close in the jars but not so much when swatched. Shenanigans is more bronze & the multi colored sparkles show up better when dry. Guilty Pleasures is much more brown, it's not as pigmented when applied dry , but it is much more vibrant when foiled. They look so different when foiled! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_fuXr3AhiYDw3PFC-qc0B8z0DDGtD88ncJGx1gSS2TSIjBeTNQPzyWlqq-hGyWJOizoGVLrwWwYjTE6-ZFiYttRxZjRyB-qH6OO_D9sUN-1l0RFwafj_vg1jehQd3DKSB4TMoTa7J0da9/s1600/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_fuXr3AhiYDw3PFC-qc0B8z0DDGtD88ncJGx1gSS2TSIjBeTNQPzyWlqq-hGyWJOizoGVLrwWwYjTE6-ZFiYttRxZjRyB-qH6OO_D9sUN-1l0RFwafj_vg1jehQd3DKSB4TMoTa7J0da9/s320/Double+chocolate+wizards+wand+guilty+pleasures+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that's the last of the BFTE swatches & dupes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi, my lovely followers. I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've been quite busy, my husband started a new job working 6AM-6PM Monday - Friday so I have been getting up in the morning to go to the gym. I am NOT a morning person, however, I do enjoy walking/jogging to the gym (it's about 1/4 of a mile from our place). I haven't been eating as well as I should be but I have been working out 3-5 days each week. I'll do another health post in the near future.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have this post & 1 more to finish up the swatches of the new shadows I received from BFTE.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have swatched each color dry first & then swatched them using BFTE's Mix & Seal. I have included BFTE's descriptions from their website for each swatch also (if available.)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course, these are my favorites of the bunch. I love highlight colors & taupe, especially shimmery ones! Whisper is amazing, it works great for the inner corner of your eye or the brow bone. It's very subtle but the shimmer is blue based, looks gorgeous with purples & blues as a blending color. Brimstone is one of my favorites, it has this gorgeous cool undertone. It looks more grey to me in person. Moonwalk is such a versatile mocha brown!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I found a dupe for Brimstone & Moonwalk. I tried to match them as closely as possible but it's so hard when the colors are in the jar & dry. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9fCe7qeMLaDWWxGqhQyaSL-_SBuSsW9zXph80Gy9SOrR6xbuduVk1FHxsei2rUXXSbjC7OgWH-nltwEPaH7W2XdEm9s3-Wwh2alDPtv8e939Ak1YofsLzNUau-ZPrGa4iNz_0ptzAO8Hz/s1600/Whisper+Brimstone+Moonwalk+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9fCe7qeMLaDWWxGqhQyaSL-_SBuSsW9zXph80Gy9SOrR6xbuduVk1FHxsei2rUXXSbjC7OgWH-nltwEPaH7W2XdEm9s3-Wwh2alDPtv8e939Ak1YofsLzNUau-ZPrGa4iNz_0ptzAO8Hz/s320/Whisper+Brimstone+Moonwalk+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Brimstone's dupe is Fyrinnae Damn Paladins (now it's called Work Safe Blue), Damn Paladins is hands down one of my go to shadows, it's amazing! Brimstone has that same blue shimmer with a taupe base. Brimstone is much lighter & a cooler tone. Both are beautiful!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Moonwalk's dupe is Fyrinnae Witchy Woodland Creatures. They look close in the jar but they are pretty different when swatched. They are very close when dry, although Witchy Woodland Creature's has more glitter & it takes a gold tone when foiled. Moonwalk has a blue shimmer & looks like a darker shade of Damn Paladins. I have to admit that I love Moonwalk & I can't wait to use it!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi, my lovely followers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I signed up for college yesterday! My husband & I start classes on August 12th through a local college & I don't know whether I am excited or nervous. I went to Beauty School right out of high school in 2005-2007 and I haven't been to school since. In all honesty, I am super excited & very happy I waited until I was ready to go to school. We're both going for Business Administration which is 3 years & then I will definitely be continuing on to get my MBA. So the next 5 years will be very long, filled with working full time & going to school full time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I will be swatching 2 NYX Mega Shine Lip Glosses in Candy Shop & Nude Peach. I own about 30 of the NYX Mega Shine Lip Glosses. They happen to be one of my must have products! I would love to get around to swatching my whole collection but my life has been crazy lately. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><i>Kiss me quick! Our signature Mega Shine Lip Gloss delivers shine, moisture and softness and envelops lips with glistening color. The finish is both creamy and steamy and ensures knockout glamour.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Candy Shop is a sheer blue pink with gold shimmer. Nude Peach is a shimmery coral (frost). Both come in .37 fl oz with doe foot applicators. The packaging is sleek, clear container that shows the color of the lip gloss with a black top that has a bow printed on the top. They are cruelty free & hypoallergenic. Like all of the other NYX Mega Shine Glosses, they have a light cherry scent. It smells very sweet, thankfully, you can't smell it when it's on your lips. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, I am still doing swatches for BFTE Cosmetics! (I think I have 2 more sets to do!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are the pinks & purples from my BFTE Cosmetic order, I have applied each dry & then used BFTE Mix & Seal and foiled a swatch. I have also included BFTE's descriptions (if available).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9QrsxdU57QzM3QR2FZhWuIn-tPVwHY10NpkpISS8jYUr2TuxK9NgLU_xm3Hr24wuX_KUniMvGQ4z7pVojG0fYa_UFxNk7fKalBlmAvgP4yUU3Gz91gr2t8oKqgFvz4l3ZJhO4XDeJbOi/s1600/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9QrsxdU57QzM3QR2FZhWuIn-tPVwHY10NpkpISS8jYUr2TuxK9NgLU_xm3Hr24wuX_KUniMvGQ4z7pVojG0fYa_UFxNk7fKalBlmAvgP4yUU3Gz91gr2t8oKqgFvz4l3ZJhO4XDeJbOi/s320/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lava Momma- Bright hot fuchsia with pink iridescence. Not for the faint of heart!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raspberry - Bright tropical pink with pink iridescence. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bondage (no description available) - Dark Charcoal grey with a bit of sparkle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Romp - Medium purple with pink sparkles. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Drnkt-vzjOsnBzId1XQqlztsRi2cSlkO-lWc-zGrYMZevefOg0M0Y0SxhjuKYSJMumifid-ZB-HgGPQOl4aOHkfmL3RtONSi366RpW3UTi4PdgjJFukALAK2xXFNa1zdTnnjc0KgjQB2/s1600/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Drnkt-vzjOsnBzId1XQqlztsRi2cSlkO-lWc-zGrYMZevefOg0M0Y0SxhjuKYSJMumifid-ZB-HgGPQOl4aOHkfmL3RtONSi366RpW3UTi4PdgjJFukALAK2xXFNa1zdTnnjc0KgjQB2/s320/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't own any bright pink pigments so I thought Lave Momma would be a good color to start with. I have seen some really gorgeous looks done with this color on BFTE's Facebook page. I actually like it dry because it's sheer but still very bright. I would love to try this as a lip color!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raspberry & Lava Momma are almost identical except Lava Momma has more fuchsia & Raspberry is more pink. (You can really tell in the above swatch!) I like this one better dry too, it has that pretty sheen, sheer look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bondage is one of my favorites from this order, it's gorgeous when dry or foiled (although I think foiling it brings out the true beauty) It's almost got a purple/brown town when dry & when foiled it has a gorgeous aqua colored shimmer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not super impressed with Romp. It might be that own a million other purples but this color is kind of boring & in all honesty, I don't really like it wet or dry, but I'd be willing to work with it dry because it might be a good highlight color. I may have to give this away to a good home!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimPDyecOjLBHt9cvgzwvpmoHNBEvPKTSaymn4CT_AXeIotnjNhIlzFbJDtRSDIFFZiCrQzyezkO9qO6dpDV5KQHIHPsxx3c8gUABFSlbQNdUVL2K3SbfZoI9Y11yZp4ISdiSv4iaL3-ZT7/s1600/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimPDyecOjLBHt9cvgzwvpmoHNBEvPKTSaymn4CT_AXeIotnjNhIlzFbJDtRSDIFFZiCrQzyezkO9qO6dpDV5KQHIHPsxx3c8gUABFSlbQNdUVL2K3SbfZoI9Y11yZp4ISdiSv4iaL3-ZT7/s320/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I searched for a dupe for these colors & all I could come up with was Glamour Doll Eyes (GDE) Southern Lace. You can see it's not an exact dupe of Raspberry but the are somewhat close. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrlgJuSR_PJCTxJatYSaiCJQt7DcTM-6xrZpUMQAlaA349QZdPuuH1-JHCRaKjem9bveCAI3dzYTfwwD-OFJ-MRToIGlLl0mrLQYVPV5LUaWXft06N9hnAW92tjd5czdJHVzcTPurLhwp/s1600/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrlgJuSR_PJCTxJatYSaiCJQt7DcTM-6xrZpUMQAlaA349QZdPuuH1-JHCRaKjem9bveCAI3dzYTfwwD-OFJ-MRToIGlLl0mrLQYVPV5LUaWXft06N9hnAW92tjd5czdJHVzcTPurLhwp/s320/lava+momma+raspberry+bondage+romp+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's weird, I like GDE Southern Lace better foiled & BFTE Raspberry better dry. Southern Lace is more red toned with much more shimmer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMW8zYq_UPZG6uHOvZzn7lE8AOmybSaDmREB4DJ_y_lDmIUz-rli9Ljvb2csFyRgdIy7nMt7B5LCgag6PWRZNwvAKa7ccHrcpT4-UzbTifzpiYM545XGt7bdSou7CGyFBULk7FrUKzLDVI/s1600/Lava+momma+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMW8zYq_UPZG6uHOvZzn7lE8AOmybSaDmREB4DJ_y_lDmIUz-rli9Ljvb2csFyRgdIy7nMt7B5LCgag6PWRZNwvAKa7ccHrcpT4-UzbTifzpiYM545XGt7bdSou7CGyFBULk7FrUKzLDVI/s320/Lava+momma+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see when they are dry, they look very close to each other but when wet or foiled then are very different. Southern Lace is darker & has almost a glitter look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I'll be comparing Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) & Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TFSI). I have used both of these & I often switch between the two. Let me start by saying that UDPP was the first "higher end" beauty product I ever purchased. I was watching a video on YouTube & saw this girl explaining why primer is such a big deal & it clicked. I could never wear eye shadow without it creasing in 10 minutes or smearing off. This was the product that got me into makeup!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have swatched a small amount of each on my arm, UDPP is first, TFSI is on the right. With both of these products, a little bit goes along way & the amount you can see below is what I apply to each of my eyes (enough for my whole eyelid & eyebrows). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8rNVKTS1uldzdo6Z_TdY_SyG3GQD1LX0MDh1Nto0a-ABVqy0LWeihyphenhyphenb9ZLXcLa1JCBmoQ9Hdr9Gnij0LlYnuuSkj6ce-C3wyEcNFycQvxUXDwa4xUNXsEzwPn2KjbbnT9AI175m2dYpuJ/s1600/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8rNVKTS1uldzdo6Z_TdY_SyG3GQD1LX0MDh1Nto0a-ABVqy0LWeihyphenhyphenb9ZLXcLa1JCBmoQ9Hdr9Gnij0LlYnuuSkj6ce-C3wyEcNFycQvxUXDwa4xUNXsEzwPn2KjbbnT9AI175m2dYpuJ/s320/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see, they both blend in nude/sheer. There is a consistency difference. UDPP is thicker, I won't say heavier because it's not it just feels thicker. TFSI is more "watery" but it typically is easier to blend out. When you apply UDPP is dries very quickly, whereas, TFSI takes a little longer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0z94vjTl9Bt1idFjIcPj6viYx-43cclTvyP9_LvBIxOcfnB3nbIu1GjaYm74BcXqzYMMKfnrZ2LZ2f38V-6qXgb26ofoY9RtmqlPMFQzwGAKQHtxX4PTHONE52dqX-ol43tGMHk8JKcJK/s1600/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0z94vjTl9Bt1idFjIcPj6viYx-43cclTvyP9_LvBIxOcfnB3nbIu1GjaYm74BcXqzYMMKfnrZ2LZ2f38V-6qXgb26ofoY9RtmqlPMFQzwGAKQHtxX4PTHONE52dqX-ol43tGMHk8JKcJK/s320/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I swatched Wet N Wild's "Comfort Zone" palette's definer color using both UDPP & TFSI.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSb2mNbsPXES-msYLM_NgH526IL5Chjv043_jammloR2DQt6_J3x7hDe9_CiDdqrJ0rhVzBFJN9pwQ1E9rBX1nbU5dm48-bn_al0oSIokFudGJxDkq1MBGoknH8U_Taj1ESQFoGIAtWxQ/s1600/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSb2mNbsPXES-msYLM_NgH526IL5Chjv043_jammloR2DQt6_J3x7hDe9_CiDdqrJ0rhVzBFJN9pwQ1E9rBX1nbU5dm48-bn_al0oSIokFudGJxDkq1MBGoknH8U_Taj1ESQFoGIAtWxQ/s400/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+2.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did 2 close up pictures to show you. It goes UDPP, TFSI & then no primer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FJidlfPmxp9wO0BuLhc0ekLQVNebvoDeDAHU2S3iTOptBKTjln25JYjGTRve0IOyrdPuZF-5AxBMmgw6Q5vSJK4mZWFg0pk9uodVVmdfAMoW1OQq_Sto_l4ds_12X-al9SU4PMR_Em2C/s1600/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FJidlfPmxp9wO0BuLhc0ekLQVNebvoDeDAHU2S3iTOptBKTjln25JYjGTRve0IOyrdPuZF-5AxBMmgw6Q5vSJK4mZWFg0pk9uodVVmdfAMoW1OQq_Sto_l4ds_12X-al9SU4PMR_Em2C/s320/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think both primers work very well. You can see a difference with no primer in both pictures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEispQEEdyZOorrXmdyfjkW5WIrSu-AqmIDsElWdUquS774Z22-8AfSCc1U7l1aqM5U3gVIZ9DO2-IwLm9AlVB8I7e8r45PpNEm6zGb-rPjREUMjtBOs77Rmd5Z0D6I9YEvPt2dZe9W3_psX/s1600/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEispQEEdyZOorrXmdyfjkW5WIrSu-AqmIDsElWdUquS774Z22-8AfSCc1U7l1aqM5U3gVIZ9DO2-IwLm9AlVB8I7e8r45PpNEm6zGb-rPjREUMjtBOs77Rmd5Z0D6I9YEvPt2dZe9W3_psX/s320/Urban+Decay+Shadow+Insurance+3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">UDPP recently changed their packaging (thank goodness!) it was coming in a tube with a doe foot applicator, however, the weird shape of the bottle meant you couldn't use all the primer. I actually had to cut mine open & put it in an empty mineral jar. Now, both UDPP & TFSI come in squeeze tube. I switch between the two, I like UDPP for most days. I usually use TFSI with mattes & mineral makeup because it's a little tackier & works better. I feel as through UDPP can make mattes look a little splotchy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They are about the same size tubes, UDPP is .37 oz for $20 at Sephora, TFSI is .35 oz. for $20. I got my UDPP for $25 at Ulta but it was a gift set that included a face primer & setting spray. I got TFSI from EBay for $10 (be weary, I have heard of SO many fakes!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope this helps, leave comments! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so sorry I haven't been posting. Everything in my life has been crazy lately, I have been working 60 hour weeks & trying to workout for an hour each night, so I have no time. But I will be trying to post more often. I also wanted let you know that I created a fitblr (fitness tumblr) so if you have Tumblr, make sure you follow me <a href="http://krystlecassel.tumblr.com/">here</a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll be doing a post today on the gold I received from BFTE in my last order. All of the golds are swatched below<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> along with descriptions from BFTE websites (if there is a description). All are applied dry first & then foiled with BFTE Mix & Seal:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mermaid - Shimmery light gold with soft blue-green duo-chrome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Clara (No Description) - Shimmery gold, very close to Mermaid with more shimmer & lighter, great highlight color when applied dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dragon Slayer (No Description) - Vibrant copper, when foiled it looks like a copper penny!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mermaid is so pretty, I always pick golds because they work well with my skin tone. It goes on quite light when dry but when you foil it the color is so metallic & bright.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Clara is very shimmery, it almost blends right into my skin tone when applied dry, I'm not sure how I feel about this color, I like it but I am not sure how to wear it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dragon Slayer is amazing! I love coppers & the more metallic, the better. This color is gorgeous when foiled!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I didn't realize that I had a color almost exactly like Dragon Slayer in my collection, but Fyrinnae's Gilded Wings is almost a perfect match!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZCXcgw4GYWtpRFNNF5WK7UyATaw5B2KLE1Z5za294mJDq8lmmjKW5W8Yta58Y8_8kwiidOAeGDH9trcQJI86WZ-_eV6we1eBnF_CLZcBHw7twvJ0AMdu7V-xhlS5UgcsnY2oW3OzMtqq/s1600/Mermaid+Clara+Dragon+Slayer+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZCXcgw4GYWtpRFNNF5WK7UyATaw5B2KLE1Z5za294mJDq8lmmjKW5W8Yta58Y8_8kwiidOAeGDH9trcQJI86WZ-_eV6we1eBnF_CLZcBHw7twvJ0AMdu7V-xhlS5UgcsnY2oW3OzMtqq/s320/Mermaid+Clara+Dragon+Slayer+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like Gilded Wings is less orange and a little less bright than Dragon Slayer. I like Gilded Wings better dry than Dragon Slayer. However, I like Dragon Slayer better when foiled.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHmcr1Bm4LB8i5NaK3wn3J6sxPQqm_VLBu-r6klFC-HZ3AivvQGxJvoQRtKj9JxMQjdq8CSXSNSA8fOnAzytgwEg_DmaH7Lhm78VAt0P8i0m4PR03-1rwc5dnQkdSf7wNu3i3dHqjLNcj/s1600/Mermaid+Clara+Dragon+Slayer+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHmcr1Bm4LB8i5NaK3wn3J6sxPQqm_VLBu-r6klFC-HZ3AivvQGxJvoQRtKj9JxMQjdq8CSXSNSA8fOnAzytgwEg_DmaH7Lhm78VAt0P8i0m4PR03-1rwc5dnQkdSf7wNu3i3dHqjLNcj/s320/Mermaid+Clara+Dragon+Slayer+5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see that they are very close, Gilded Wings dry is not quite as blotchy & when foiled it is lighter in color. Dragon Slayer dry is blah, but you when foiled it comes alive! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I still have a few more posts for the BFTE swatches but I thought I would take a break & show you my new MAC lipsticks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I purchased these a few weeks ago, I wanted a few new eye shadows & I thought I would add some fun lipsticks to my collection since it's free shipping on orders over $150 for MAC Pro.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the colors that I purchased were:<br />Candy Yum Yum (Matte) - Neon Pink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Diva (Matte) - Intense reddish-burgundy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Snob (Satin)- Light neutral pink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are the colors swatched on my arm: Candy Yum Yum, Diva & Snob.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yzmDmN5VsZ6YnOv6BOvzgHaZSsirEYToy6G0jBlJKNsNfnCEzqHWpW7XfWVgxBuduS0dGsCEkUio8M4YBF7kaznhHJAXxLp67GM-WPsTwF0lbXHB_Ub2qiaWKaBOrSrsm2n55t6PFZAb/s1600/MAC+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yzmDmN5VsZ6YnOv6BOvzgHaZSsirEYToy6G0jBlJKNsNfnCEzqHWpW7XfWVgxBuduS0dGsCEkUio8M4YBF7kaznhHJAXxLp67GM-WPsTwF0lbXHB_Ub2qiaWKaBOrSrsm2n55t6PFZAb/s320/MAC+7.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Candy Yum Yum:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've wanted this color for so long but every time I went to place an order it was sold out & MAC was only carrying it for a short period of time. Well, right before I was getting ready to order, I got an email saying that it would now be part of the permanent line. To me, this is the epitome of a "Barbie" pink. It's bright & absolutely gorgeous! I will rock the SHIT (excuse my language) of this color. Plus, it's matte & I adore MAC's matte lipsticks. Actually, I think I may wear this color out tonight...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Diva:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I went back & forth on whether or not I should buy this color. I don't own any colors even close, I tend to stay with neutrals or REALLY bright but not darker colors. I have fair skin so I get scared that I will look weird! However, I bought this because I don't have anything like this. It's such a nice burgundy red but I still feel like I can wear this with a lighter colored eye look. Maybe I'll be daring & use it with a pin up smoky eye since I feel like it could take the place of bright red!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Snob:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My friend (who is also a makeup fanatic) told me that I had to have Snob. I love it & it's wearable for day or night. I feel like it gives the perfect neutral lip without looking to light. Myth is a favorite of mine, but when I am not tan it really washes my skin out so this is the perfect color to replace it for winter. It's very close to my natural lip color so it looks really nice with a darker eye look. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So these are the new colors that I added to my collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another BFTE post!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's the blues that I purchased in my most recent BFTE haul. They offer a color of the week, which is an amazing deal. You get one full sized color which is the color of the week & 3 samples for $6. That is like getting 3 free samples & you get to choose the sample colors! The color of the week when I purchased was 1939, which was on my list of samples I was planning on purchasing. I also got a 16 piece sample set for $29, which came packaged in a cute metal tin!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8hqGTHm07YREWh7u_U68zb4adDDf0W_JdiSJJ7DJFaIzIFGsNMi0qDFmMgHl5CcvbLLELdL5iJlpjnDvAyl4I5PwRWJhSGaCihT14H7PFKwpfq88nsy6NzocIiR7J45tJYF3I-8JMftJ-/s1600/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="97" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8hqGTHm07YREWh7u_U68zb4adDDf0W_JdiSJJ7DJFaIzIFGsNMi0qDFmMgHl5CcvbLLELdL5iJlpjnDvAyl4I5PwRWJhSGaCihT14H7PFKwpfq88nsy6NzocIiR7J45tJYF3I-8JMftJ-/s320/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The colors I purchased in the blue category are listed below along with descriptions from BFTE websites (if there is a description). All are applied dry first & then foiled with BFTE Mix & Seal:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1939- <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Dark green with black undertones and green sparkles.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Peacock- Mid-tone teal-blue with golden green shimmer.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Illusion - <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Dark green Biased Teal, really breathtaking applied wet.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Blue Bird - </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Bright blue with very good coverage.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqSIV4v1MEcaiOhC1NIkvE9PSElA1e7fu5FrCpTDT65D8fMcMFCsSDw60IX7HGY1NDzJe9def_huD72xK4ZHSTGx_GAbvyRkp_CGkYVCwJaCODk5XwoHhg2gK5Hmv5Y_mB5jdlo2d0QKV/s1600/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqSIV4v1MEcaiOhC1NIkvE9PSElA1e7fu5FrCpTDT65D8fMcMFCsSDw60IX7HGY1NDzJe9def_huD72xK4ZHSTGx_GAbvyRkp_CGkYVCwJaCODk5XwoHhg2gK5Hmv5Y_mB5jdlo2d0QKV/s320/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird+2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1939 is a really gorgeous dark greenish black with green/teal sparkles. Peacock is one of my favorites, such a gorgeous blue with aqua shimmer. Illusion is also a favorite, it's not quite teal but not quite blue. Blue Bird is fabulous, it's not too impressive when applied dry but when foiled, it's so bright & awesome.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see the difference below of a full sized jar vs. a sample size. Full size jars are typically $6.50, sample jars are $2. I usually buy sample jars because they come with enough product for me to use on a non regular basis. (I'm not kidding between, BFTE, Fyrinnae & GDE, I have well over 100 samples.)

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also chose a few dupes to go with Illusion & Blue Bird.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I chose Island Chic by GDE as a dupe for Illusion & Bird? Plane?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Island Chic is a little lighter in the pan but it looks fairly close to Illusion when in the jar. Bird? Plane? is lighter in the pan, Blue Bird is much brighter in the jar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8lfYyAzcRUuV7BdePzyOii1nb-U3Xka0p7E10ImR6fomabd9cLXjDAvN5BDxahVO_lEcX1l4w6ejtUEAOECjmOebDTixhcyyosnUqZSmgVSTD98B3QjsmhtnAQsArlOcbZxJ2wq2xCo3L/s1600/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8lfYyAzcRUuV7BdePzyOii1nb-U3Xka0p7E10ImR6fomabd9cLXjDAvN5BDxahVO_lEcX1l4w6ejtUEAOECjmOebDTixhcyyosnUqZSmgVSTD98B3QjsmhtnAQsArlOcbZxJ2wq2xCo3L/s320/1939+peacock+illusion+blue+bird+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, Island Chic is not a good dupe. Haha! Illusion is much darker but still has that teal shimmer in it. Bird? Plane? & Blue Bird are very close, especially when foiled. Blue Bird is much brighter, even when dry, but you can clearly see how close they are.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I placed an order with BFTE (Beauty from the Earth) last week & I received it on Friday. I decided to swatch them in groupings & also include any possible dupes that I could find in my collection (I chose between Glamour Doll Eyes & Fyrinnae shadows). I'm starting with greens & yellows in this post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUdmIb9RpCUh-y2lFN6s_cEXl8u-nziMemjeUnnUzuJrmEFOsV-dVR1F4R3VbfCQOZG2dwLQ3Dep8P_9dBtUyh8UuER1-h1-NWh-tWEHOpPzq4zH8vN1xwla7Sr-BvYKLzzHfJLsXZGH_/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="89" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUdmIb9RpCUh-y2lFN6s_cEXl8u-nziMemjeUnnUzuJrmEFOsV-dVR1F4R3VbfCQOZG2dwLQ3Dep8P_9dBtUyh8UuER1-h1-NWh-tWEHOpPzq4zH8vN1xwla7Sr-BvYKLzzHfJLsXZGH_/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All descriptions are from BFTE website unless there is no description & then I'll try my best to describe the color:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Green Apple: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Bright shimmery grass green with lighter green shimmer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Lavish: </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Green-Yellow with medium sheen.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cat Eye (No Description Available): Grey green with lighter grass green shimmer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Lemon: </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Bright Clean Shimmery Yellow; Not too cool, not too warm Perfectly balanced yellow. Almost metallic applied wet.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUSOWFfV7AQnPTzNRgmlgqWrE6CmfKEHr9lJTH-2rZA1SQxFDcjq0u5xCTFNLgjI4FFvBPW7Ud3bmyrBbr0eP_l5IHeCOGPGlZX4QPh2EA_05bJsV-0w8Yd9sw4_Wsznsky1BtASfra0b/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="90" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUSOWFfV7AQnPTzNRgmlgqWrE6CmfKEHr9lJTH-2rZA1SQxFDcjq0u5xCTFNLgjI4FFvBPW7Ud3bmyrBbr0eP_l5IHeCOGPGlZX4QPh2EA_05bJsV-0w8Yd9sw4_Wsznsky1BtASfra0b/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All of these are sample sizes & they were $2 each. BFTE offers flat rate $4 shipping which is nice. I do love BFTE because their selection is amazing, it's almost overwhelming because they offer SO MANY different colors. Their samples are smaller than Fyrinnae, but they are $2.75 , they are also smaller than Glamour Doll Eyes (GDE) but their samples are $2.50 each. You can see each color swatched below, first dry & then with BFTE Mix & Seal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij3EX-8e18c8QOGJY2MY5MlLHQsMNJEmsGHVef6-OpewY0VwFKyJogN1BqafeDtFSDvIVeRnvpDdO-qD7va57D6ubnjkHOmdT8EoWwxQMEagdjp7osn_-Mpb0v9b6eIb_jcHUUMxJZ4wcQ/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij3EX-8e18c8QOGJY2MY5MlLHQsMNJEmsGHVef6-OpewY0VwFKyJogN1BqafeDtFSDvIVeRnvpDdO-qD7va57D6ubnjkHOmdT8EoWwxQMEagdjp7osn_-Mpb0v9b6eIb_jcHUUMxJZ4wcQ/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I purchased a lot of basic colors that I don't own. I loved Green Apple, I found it on their Facebook page, Lavish is much more green than the swatch above shows. Cat Eye was sent to me in place of Kiss the Frog which was out of stock (Crystal, the owner, personally called me to ask if I wanted another color. How nice is that!? I told her to surprise me!) Lemon is a basic yellow which I don't own or have anything close to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I chose 1 dupe for each of the shadows since I tend to have more greens in my collection than most other colors. Keep in mind, I chose these while they were in the jar, I know some of them aren't even close when swatched!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvUAdc2Zvv24pxD0vC4unZH5FVsIA5cZCfUqYZ6XONgZO0GmibGzksbpLvMTFcILss9KZv0CvCFiDOCVJxh4BPdZKig2jfFJegsr_70toLTcX_FbpOa8RMy689GFjODhpzBMHjIncZIS1/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvUAdc2Zvv24pxD0vC4unZH5FVsIA5cZCfUqYZ6XONgZO0GmibGzksbpLvMTFcILss9KZv0CvCFiDOCVJxh4BPdZKig2jfFJegsr_70toLTcX_FbpOa8RMy689GFjODhpzBMHjIncZIS1/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I chose GDE Mackinac as a dupe for Green Apple. You can see they are very close, Green Apple is more green with brighter shimmer. I chose GDE Oddity for Lavish which was more green but I really didn't have anything closer to this color! Lavish is closer to a chartuese, Oddity is much more green with less shimmer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7P0UfRMnW_i_WSBlM19cQhakCDrDgkTWtXcnDuROWY1cIOxvW9dDBUJhLNckRRHbQZNRimEaMtNtxcS0fuhZgvmB8smnr0WfdSbkMojls-oUoynlrnCMsO-30aK-p9UUofQOFMJ4XaMvT/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7P0UfRMnW_i_WSBlM19cQhakCDrDgkTWtXcnDuROWY1cIOxvW9dDBUJhLNckRRHbQZNRimEaMtNtxcS0fuhZgvmB8smnr0WfdSbkMojls-oUoynlrnCMsO-30aK-p9UUofQOFMJ4XaMvT/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Greeen Apple & Mackinac are so close!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxc9eGBMcN4D7flXjYsa9efUABGO7JTP3l6ngx7pbVBNQcU4pALnJUKAzF275FoE5-iy_TAsp7WLv8GJtsOLevh5IhGdYcHFa4ZZo4m-veNbEdoCr3eMC0Si6IIP2JKa0zBNbJ9PGkVON/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxc9eGBMcN4D7flXjYsa9efUABGO7JTP3l6ngx7pbVBNQcU4pALnJUKAzF275FoE5-iy_TAsp7WLv8GJtsOLevh5IhGdYcHFa4ZZo4m-veNbEdoCr3eMC0Si6IIP2JKa0zBNbJ9PGkVON/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I chose GDE Going green as a dupe for Lemon, it is lighter, more shimmery & a tad greener. I picked Fyrinnae's Are You My Mummy for a dupe of Cat Eye. Are You My Mummy is an Arcane Shadow, so it's a douchrome & looks different at each angle but it's the closet color I can find in my collection!! As you can see, Cat Eye is much more grey toned.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNYVCsV-QjMCRDZqRN9xbmRom6FZh5eKiaRJ0rq6hDTwgLbNTeV5OumWBjw0H0aZ1RRao07rQ-ro4kkGcFlTjjMPwMu7q1F7lcVka7w2Y7n0sbnDzYhSrCAqymZchrZcPqSAkyC5L04cyh/s1600/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNYVCsV-QjMCRDZqRN9xbmRom6FZh5eKiaRJ0rq6hDTwgLbNTeV5OumWBjw0H0aZ1RRao07rQ-ro4kkGcFlTjjMPwMu7q1F7lcVka7w2Y7n0sbnDzYhSrCAqymZchrZcPqSAkyC5L04cyh/s320/Green+Apple+Lavish+Cat+Eye+Lemon+6.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I can't choose a favorite between GDE, Fyrinnae or BFTE, they all have awesome products & samples that are super cheap but give you plenty of product.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I think last week I did a post on how I have been eating really healthy. I haven't been weighing myself lately because find that I get too caught up in the number on the scale. I also haven't been working out because my gym membership doesn't renew until tomorrow, so I have been staying between 1200-1400 calories. I weighed myself for the first time in 11 days & I am down 8.6 pounds! I am so excited & motivated!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I started at 163 pounds (the heaviest I have been in a LONG time) and today my scale hit 154.4 pounds. I have also been eating 8 servings of vegetables & 2 servings of fruit (only with breakfast), drinking a gallon of water a day & not eating after 10 pm. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have found that the more vegetables I eat, the less hungry I feel. My snacks consist of celery, carrots & campari tomatoes (my favorite!). I also gave myself a cheat meal today which was Panera Bread broccoli cheddar bread bowl but I ate healthy the rest of today & stayed under 1400 calories.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I feel like a cheat meal each week keeps me sane & I actually look forward to having something "bad". My husband & I also cook at home each night. A few days ago we did a beef roast in the oven with taco seasoning & made beef tacos. We have been trying not to waste anything, so we used the leftovers & made beef, brown rice & pinto bean bowls. I used 1/2 cup brown rice (made with vegetable broth), 1/2 cup pinto beans & 3 ounces of the roast, I loaded it with lettuce & tomatoes, threw about and 1/8 of a cup of reduced fat cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of light sour cream (I hate fat free) & a teaspoon of Cholula Hot Sauce. It was so delicious, easy & filling, in fact, I ate the rest of the rice & beans for lunch today.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I found a recipe for Skinny Cheesy Vegetable Chowder & decided I have to try it.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I will be reviewing the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Lip Colors in Click On My Hyperlink & Back To The Fuchsia. I picked these up at my locale K-Mart for $2.99 each.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's what Wet n Wild has to say about these lip colors:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Intense liquid color with built-in moisturizer provides one-step application for weightless, ultra-conditioning wear that lasts up to 8 hours. ElastiSilk™ formula combines flexible color adhesion with silky-smooth pigments for transfer-proof, even application. Paraben-free formula conditions and moisturizes with vitamin E that helps promote anti-aging, protects the skin's moisture barrier, and balances the lip's natural hydration for a healthy-looking, plump pout all day.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig33WntJjMI9e6cxfQEAg2biCYFNa4D3saAS0MavkpRN2YggJUrbhKp_WxnEFlnCvFHIsedhhk9OmZawl4JG23VWoaRD7bwo0McgImHAa9gG84OdUjq1tucYYDstP782F5qESfs-S_7Jxs/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig33WntJjMI9e6cxfQEAg2biCYFNa4D3saAS0MavkpRN2YggJUrbhKp_WxnEFlnCvFHIsedhhk9OmZawl4JG23VWoaRD7bwo0McgImHAa9gG84OdUjq1tucYYDstP782F5qESfs-S_7Jxs/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In all honesty, I haven't heard anything about these lip colors or seen them before so I had no idea what to expect. I chose the 2 colors that stuck out the most (of course, a bright fuchsia & a bright pink!). The packaging is super cute, it's slick & simple. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will start with <b>Back to the Fuchsia</b>. This color is so gorgeous, it reminds me of MAC's Impassioned lipstick. I thought these were more of a gloss but I was wrong. They are almost exactly like NYX's Matte Lip Creams in consistency. I tried to wipe this off with a regular tissue and it did not budge, not even a little. I actually had to use makeup remover to remove this. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4XQbi56xHMKHwXuATNID7EfYhie8LU2gB_B0Scb1rVZkXzpSkdT5tI0fr7jLIwgumNE-IkzbJLvzDtfwMQHlv6ldz3JGblqJtnoE9JjXh8z7Sec1lqpFRxrPFLCdKNJtiXOO6gRDRxiS/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4XQbi56xHMKHwXuATNID7EfYhie8LU2gB_B0Scb1rVZkXzpSkdT5tI0fr7jLIwgumNE-IkzbJLvzDtfwMQHlv6ldz3JGblqJtnoE9JjXh8z7Sec1lqpFRxrPFLCdKNJtiXOO6gRDRxiS/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see, Back to the Fuchsia is bright fuchsia creme. It does go on a little streaky but the color payoff is so amazing. It comes with a doe tip wand, one thing worth mentioning is that the wand comes out with a lot of product on it. Also, they do not have a nice smell but once they dry they don't have a scent at all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3STHTkUB3sKKNmlQSXT1Yv_CsZJY5riKytiKmjNy9mLyVkrTSCohBvqmU7-iwYYx8Venk-5OGe12P_t8CSPFz-17PQAu2HJ6Ro_cQpTWxR1QpztqlV63mQuUmTDHYgnO_kdNuVdNeBUrc/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3STHTkUB3sKKNmlQSXT1Yv_CsZJY5riKytiKmjNy9mLyVkrTSCohBvqmU7-iwYYx8Venk-5OGe12P_t8CSPFz-17PQAu2HJ6Ro_cQpTWxR1QpztqlV63mQuUmTDHYgnO_kdNuVdNeBUrc/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Back to the Fuchsia & Click On My Hyperlink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrlQoKd1gphl6KbRDejLbwlVa6GjRR2ozDlMlFnr69_tK2NT9sMuXO4W4Dga-h4Ui9P0Y9Duf35s0vOqB7ZoqXpPPjkaSXGQ29Hd2e2U9GuXvRol40__OtX8fn0nzsCiC6Xi5VkfemryF/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrlQoKd1gphl6KbRDejLbwlVa6GjRR2ozDlMlFnr69_tK2NT9sMuXO4W4Dga-h4Ui9P0Y9Duf35s0vOqB7ZoqXpPPjkaSXGQ29Hd2e2U9GuXvRol40__OtX8fn0nzsCiC6Xi5VkfemryF/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Click On My Hyperlink:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Holy Barbie Pink! I cannot even tell you how bright this color is. This is a bright neon pink. It reminds me of NYX's Narcissus or a lighter version of MAC's Candy Yum Yum. This color gives you a better idea of what the colors "dry" to. They are pretty matte & I have noticed they can be a little drying on the lips. I don't know if I could pull this color off, it's REALLLLLY bright (but super gorgeous!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztPdWtNPOhTEFD_35qRaDvS2Ny8Rvsv-uIVaZfbh_Y5k_NrmaA-oJIW8_izhSaH078sffIwLLnth2KZ1GcGlBXQACooQMTbaaIqpPCrFDyt9-p6QvyBzJq2rsNVHsptNsx2b6lRWsojQ_/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztPdWtNPOhTEFD_35qRaDvS2Ny8Rvsv-uIVaZfbh_Y5k_NrmaA-oJIW8_izhSaH078sffIwLLnth2KZ1GcGlBXQACooQMTbaaIqpPCrFDyt9-p6QvyBzJq2rsNVHsptNsx2b6lRWsojQ_/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see how much product is on the wand in the picture above. I tried to blot this color on a tissue after it had dried & nothing transferred, so this would be great for a night out when you don't want to reapply your lip color every 10 minutes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2EUeravBj3I_0Rp06jdt9mlHTqmH5lrA09qLqPHMNBO1KmJhl6Zp-gCAt4VpTLvn1RAspwpi2y8gI8IScMQwML6k9nez4jBLm0x13s_wKantMM5CpGefa0jmzX0k4C8qOYiQAcPCc0gkf/s1600/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2EUeravBj3I_0Rp06jdt9mlHTqmH5lrA09qLqPHMNBO1KmJhl6Zp-gCAt4VpTLvn1RAspwpi2y8gI8IScMQwML6k9nez4jBLm0x13s_wKantMM5CpGefa0jmzX0k4C8qOYiQAcPCc0gkf/s320/Wet+N+Wild+Megalast+4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They come in 13 different colors & I would certainly purchase them again. I love cheap products that work! I have to give Wet n Wild major credit, they have made their products amazing & are one of the cheapest brands on the market. <u>Kudos to them</u>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you tried any of the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Lip Colors?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought I'd give you a tour of my favorite items in my house, SHOES!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know if I mentioned it, but my work moved on February 1st to a building that is 5 times bigger than our old building was. Everyone was super excited because we got all new everything & we moved to a much more central location. ( I am not kidding, the old building was in a super small town with NOTHING close by!) Anyway, they had a silent action to sell a ton of stuff that was no longer needed for the new building & I bought these huge racks (I picked up 2 because I thought they were much smaller than they are!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been looking for something to put my shoes on for months without spending an arm & a leg. I almost purchased a book case but it was really big & heavy. I know we'll be buying a house in the next few years and I try to keep that in mind when buying things. (Big & Heavy = major pain in the ass to move!) My work had these plastic racks & I scored them for $5 each (they are $20-$30 in stores). I put one to good use for my heels and wedges. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is the larger rack:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOQ6QTvI2dHqbFYWFuvgxItYt6nmhDFB78ODTYx8prX8p44Jie8As9JZ6pljFtfDXOmDyvWq3ZEpPpMZh_AEuzXMGfDhzX8FyGejdm6XTJAjbwazT4ZrWK-sPlWspiu-xNp-hwMUW1lo9/s1600/Shoes+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOQ6QTvI2dHqbFYWFuvgxItYt6nmhDFB78ODTYx8prX8p44Jie8As9JZ6pljFtfDXOmDyvWq3ZEpPpMZh_AEuzXMGfDhzX8FyGejdm6XTJAjbwazT4ZrWK-sPlWspiu-xNp-hwMUW1lo9/s400/Shoes+2.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also took the time to rearrange my boots. My walk in closet in our town house came with these awesome built in steps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here's all of my wedges & heels. I still have to store my flats in bins, you can see one in the picture below. But I have 3 bins filled with flats & flip flops. I am so obsessed with my shoes! :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Butters is also obsessed with my shoes, he likes to climb all over them at night & knock them down during the day. He's lucky he's handsome!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I got a sweet package in the mail! This will be my last (okay, second to last, I'm buying from BFTE right now!) purchase for A LONG TIME! I have been on a bit of a spending spree lately & I really need to save, so starting tomorrow I will be doing a 6 month no spend challenge.More on that later...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I placed an order with MAC & I was so excited to receive it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I purchased 3 lip sticks: Candy Yum Yum, Diva & Snob</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew Candy Yum Yum had to be mine & thankfully MAC launched it as a permanent item. It's so freaking pretty! I debated whether to buy Diva for DAYS! I ended up buying it because I don't have any darker wine colored lipsticks, Can't wait to try it. Last, I purchased Snob. You know, I thought I would not be impressed with this lipstick but it is such a gorgeous color!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really love NYX Black Bean jumbo pencil but I can't wear it without major creasing so I picked up my first Paint Pot in Blackground. I haven't tried it yet but I have a feeling I might love it! I also grabbed 5 new shadows. They are swatched below.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have really been trying to get back into shape, after the wedding in October, I fell off the wagon. I had lost almost 20 pounds & then I just got lazy! Well, I got bronchitis & then I had the flu and right after that, I had shingles. I had shingles on my lower back and thigh area & I wasn't allowed to workout for 4-6 weeks. That was just awful & now I have gained every pound back. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, for the last week I have really been sticking to eating clean (with 1 cheat meal per week!). And my gym membership renews March 1st so I will be able to get back to working out. I'm a bridesmaid in my sister in laws wedding in August & I would LOVE to lose 20 (30 would be even better!) pounds by then. Just for the record, I'm 5'8" and clocking the scale at 160-165 pounds right now. That's super high but I was indulging on fast food & junk like it's my job. I find that if I prep the night before (or 2 nights before) it makes my life easier, I can just grab and go in the morning.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is a typical breakfast & lunch for me. I usually eat vanilla greek yogurt with 100 grams of strawberries & 100 grams of blueberries for breakfast. I do switch it up though, some days I will have oatmeal with fruit, others I will have eggs & toast, it just depends on the day. Yogurt & fruit are ideal for work, I can grab it & eat it at my desk. I eat my breakfast late, I am not a morning person so I usually eat it around 1 pm. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I eat 2 lunches, one at 3:30 pm, the other at 6 pm. I usually will snack on some celery or carrots in-between. Any crunchy veggie will hold me over. Lunches vary, I mostly pack leftovers if we have any but I always have a salad with one of the two meals. Tomorrow, I am having a salad (light dressing) with homemade vegetable soup first & then fresh green beans & salmon/sweet potato patties. I weigh & measure everything while I am packing & then I log the calories into Spark People. I like to eat eggs for lunch, I'm not fond of meat so I also eat a lot of beans. Fat free re-fried beans on whole wheat tortillas with cheese, hot sauce & light sour cream is a favorite of mine. Tuna on my salad is something I eat often & I love baked potatoes with a little butter, reduced fat cheese & light sour cream. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dinner consists of a lean protein (chicken, pork, lean beef or turkey), a starch (brown rice, whole wheat pasta or sweet potato) and LOTS of veggies. I like asparagus & frozen green beans most. Tomorrow I'm making split pea & ham soup. All homemade, so no added crap! A few of our favorites are chicken tacos (homemade taco seasoning= less sodium), any kind of bean soup, potato soup, shredded beef tacos, pulled pork, roasted turkey breast and roast beef. We use our crock pot 2-3 days a week, it makes my life SO much easier! Since my husband is laid off right now, he does most of the cooking & he's super good at it!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Snacks are usually apples with almond butter (I hate peanut butter but sometimes I choke it down, only natural!), celery with light blue cheese dressing, baby carrots, snap peas. I also like to eat lean Lebanon bologna with some cheese wrapped inside, turkey pepperoni with cheddar cheese or greek yogurt. I try to keep processed foods to a minimum, so it's usually vegetables. I also don't eat fruit later in the day because it is high in sugar.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Right now, I'm not working out, so I am trying to stay at 1200-1400 calories. I'll keep you updated on my progress, let me know if you have any questions!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Friday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I cannot tell you how happy I am that it's Friday. This week feels like it has gone on forever & I'm so over it! (Probably because I have been eating clean & Sunday is my cheat day! I'm literally counting down the hours til I can enjoy some Panera Bread!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I will be reviewing NYX Bronzer & Blusher Combo in Sunrise in Bali, as well as NYX blush in Pinched. I will start with Sunrise in Bali.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>What NYX says:</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Get the perfect sun-kissed glow with complementing color combinations from our Bronzer/Blusher Combo. Each blush and bronzer pairing features flattering and natural-looking hues. When combined with versatile bronzing powders and blush, you achieve the impeccable Springtime and Summertime glimmer that will radiate a goddess shine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I purchased both of these last June when NYX was offering a huge sale & I am finally getting around to doing a review. So I read about this on a blogger's page & they were comparing it to NARS Orgasm & Laguna combo which is like a cult favorite. I have been sucked into buying products because they were all the craze & then not using them or liking them so anytime I can find a cheaper alternative, I am down! I like NYX's products, I own so many of their things & they have great products. Plus, I love that this is bronzer & blush combo, the colors go well together & you can travel easy with them. They come in a few different colors & they are $9 on NYX website (or $6.30 with the professional discount).</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>What NYX says:</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our pressed powder blush delivers sheer, silky color that glides on,
blends beautifully and creates a natural glow. The formula is
richly-pigmented and lasts for hours. Available in 24 shades.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Pinched:</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Coral pink with gold glitter and Iridescence</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love this color, it's absolutely gorgeous. This is one of my go to colors when I feel like I need a good color on my cheek. It blends so nice. The only downfall is if you have oily skin, you might have to reapply during the day. These blushes are $6 are on the website ($4.20 with the professional discount).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both are packaged really plain (which I really like) and they have a decent amount of product for the price. Both are very blendable & they are pigmented.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> My birthday has come & gone but I felt the need to buy myself some new shoes. I have ordered from UrbanOg a few times now & since I own shoes by each of these companies, I knew what size I wear (a size 9!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are my favorite of the 3 pairs that I purchased. These are Qupid Onyx-74 Mary Jane Bow Stiletto Pump in Magenta. The color online matches the color exactly which I was so excited about! They have a cute lace bow & a thick platform. They are made of faux suede. One thing I love about UrbanOg is that they let you know whether the shoe fits true to size & all the details so you know what to expect when they arrive. The heel is 5" with a 1.25" platform. They also come in Lemon & Coral colored. They were $23.90.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdDf6ZCl3SRiKD5W62w5-_sntvn4InSqDiueCvU4QCYKA2JLTMwXxLfF7jTD1apT8_eHz52KGux1HluZaxblR1yGL6lP73kijsmqCfDeiCu4e3pZQJLQHg3ZdEQA4gnowHWPgAllNdeTD/s1600/IMG_9835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdDf6ZCl3SRiKD5W62w5-_sntvn4InSqDiueCvU4QCYKA2JLTMwXxLfF7jTD1apT8_eHz52KGux1HluZaxblR1yGL6lP73kijsmqCfDeiCu4e3pZQJLQHg3ZdEQA4gnowHWPgAllNdeTD/s320/IMG_9835.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next, we have the shoes that I have been looking for the last 6 months. I ordered wedges a few months back that I was hoping would be a light mint color & they ended up being teal. No worries, I still adore them. There are Delicious Meroz-H Round Toe Platform Wedge in the color Turquoise. They are a very light mint greenish blue. They are also faux suede & the heel is 3.75" with a 1.75" platform. They definitely feel much higher but are pretty comfortable. I always go for wedges because they are easier for me to walk in! They also come in Magenta, Oatmeal (beige, which I may need to add to my closet) & Salmon. These were $26.80.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lastly. I purchased these strappy wedges for summer. These are Bamboo Smooch-21 T-Strap Open Toe Wedge in the color Teal Multi. They are baby blue, medium teal & dark teal with a cork heel. The are made of leatherette (aka fare leather). They have a 5.25" heel with a 1.5" platform. These are super comfortable & I can't wait for the weather to warm up & I can wear them! They also come in Fuchsia Multi & Black Multi. These were $12.70. Is that not a steal!? </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have purchased from UrbanOg 4 separate times & I am satisfied with them & will order again. They offer free shipping over $50. They ship from CA by UPS & I had my package in 5 business days which is typical. All in all, I am very happy with all three pairs of shoes I received!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stay tuned for another GIANT MAC haul I just purchased!</span></div>
