MAC Warehouse Haul Fall 2010

Hey ladies!

I'm sooo behind on this haul! Last month I got the opportunity to attend the MAC Warehouse Sale with another blogger. I kept my haul simple :) I only bought a few items for myself, a few bloggers & most importantly my 2 yr bloggerversary(in Dec).

Lets get started..

MAC Dazzleglass in Roman Holiday & 2 lipglass in Stealing Kisses.

I loveeee Stealing kisses. Perfect WOC nude (swatch below)

 

I've heard something about rave reviews about MAC Honey Salive, so I had to get one.

This product is light and perfect for giving instant moisture!

 

I also got MAC Mineralized All over lotion.

I have 4.. This is a great lotion to keep in your car & office.

Light scent and not greasy.

I got the holiday pigment set. 

Jardin Aires, Rushmetal (already have),copperized, Museum Bronze & Reflect Gold

I'm really excited to use Reflects Gold :D

 

MAC liquidlast liner in Molten Sol

It's hot but for some reason I'm not 100% about it anymore

PhotoRealism MAC Quad

I love these!

I also got some lashes & Highlight powders which I forgot to take pictures of.

What product from my haul would you like to try *wink*?

Fab Red Lips on ANTM

They look gorgeous! I seriously wish that ANTM told us what colors they use.

Bangs Inspiration: I really want bangs!

I think I'm going to do it! Something different to end off 2010. Im going on the 21st of October, so I'll be sure to take pics!

FOTD: Wannabe Drama Queen Using Fusion of Color

This is my second look I've done with Fusion of Color pigments. FOC mineral powder is made of natural minerals with natural healing properties that beautify and protect your skin. This is the only mineral make up brand I use because of there pigmentation and color selection.

I called this look Wannabe Drama Queen because I always wear neutral looks and this is very different for me..lol. Off topic: I really like how this picture came out.

I used 3 colors to achieve this look:

Luminous in the inner corner

Copper Plum on the lid

Black in the crease

Here is a close up of my look :)

Check out: Fusion of Color

FOTD: My new easy look

My new easy look is quite simple! I would explain it as neutral with a kick :) The kick is colored liner..

I work early like 8:00am so days when I feel like wearing makeup,I need a effortless look which requires no touch up.

I used a black eye liner to create a winged tip on my upper lid. Personally for weekdays I feel liquid liner is the best. It's quick and USUALLY can be done without mess. My favorite picks are Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner & Eve Pearl Smudgeproof eyeliner.

Then I follow up with 2-3 coats of mascara. Sometimes I mix Mascara because I like the combined look. My favorites are Cargo triple action mascara & the new Marcelle Masacara.


On my bottom lid I use MAC Rave pearlglide eyeliner in Rave. I love this purple!! The staying power is amazing. Sometimes I add white eyeliner to my waterline depending on how much time I have.

To finish it off I always highlight my inner corners using Smashbox Eyebeam double extender brightener. This is amazing.. I haven't had to buy anything else after this.

I hope this post is descriptive enough. Feel free to leave me any questions you have :)

Per-fekt Beauty easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer and powder.

The first time I touched this product in Sephora, I fell in love. I described it as "buttery goodness" ..lol.

Per-fekt Beauty offers multi-functional products that are quick and easy to apply, long lasting, and offer an alternative to traditional beauty products.

 The blue bottle is a skin perfector that instantly per-fekts and enhances the appearance of the skin offering an easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer, color corrector and powder. Perfect for girls like me who don`t wear foundation regularly but want natural coverage.
This multi-tasking, modern gel-mousse glides on effortlessly to instantly improve skin tone, help maintain hydration, and reduce the appearance of redness and discoloration, enlarged pores, fine lines and shine.

This is a "swatch" of decendant which is the darkest color in the Per-fekt line. It is described as a dark mahogany color, I would describe it as milk chocolate. This color also looks like it won`t match my skin at all.. but it`s a per-fekt match! The consistency is smooth and not heavy.

Application:

Simply pat, smooth and go!  Pat a pearl-sized amount onto face and neck, smooth with fingertips. If more coverage or perfection is desired, Skin Perfection Gel is buildable.
I prefer to use a make-up brush because it`s easier to get a nice light finish!

The second item I was sent is the Eye perfection gel. It`s an anti-aging skin perfector combined with a modern palladium tip applicator that instantly perfekts and enhances the delicate under-eye area offering an alternative to traditional concealers, eye treatments, cover up and primers.


Eye Perfection Gel helps smooth away the appearance of puffy, tired looking eyes, fine lines and wrinkles while hydrating the skin.

Application:
Premeasure a drop of Eye Perfection Gel by squeezing out onto the cooling palladium tip applicator before applying around the delicate eye area.  With cooling palladium tip applicator, gently pat and smooth from the outside corner of the eye inward. Gently smooth with fingertips.

This is my full face look. Click the link to see it in HD.

Pros:

• Consistancy feels amazing
• Vitamins
• Maintains hydration
• shades of light to dark

Cons:

• The price can be seen excessive for some.

Overall I'm very happy with these products. Although some may say it pricey but if you purchase a good department store foundation, primer, color corrector and powder, your total will be more than this product.


Pick up Per-fekt beauty at PerfektBeauty.com and in stores at Sephora!

Marcelle Lux Metallic & Lux Diamond Liquid Eyeliners Review

I was recently sent some Marcelle products to try out:
Cobalt Blue, Jade, Ultraviolet, Aqua, Silver & Pure Gold.

Lux Metallic liquid eyeliner lets you experience glimmer and sparkle never like never before! Infused with thousands of tiny, little mirrored flecks that reflect light and literally brighten your eyes.

Pros:
-Thin applicator which is good for precision lining
-Hypoallergenic and perfume-free
-Great lasting power

Con:
-They need to be applied more than once to be vibrant

This is a swatch of ultraviolet with two swatches. I love this color on my skin tone :)

 

Lux Diamond liquid eyeliner is formulated with a gel filled with glamorous sparking flecks that shine as brightly as quartz; perfect for adding a touch of long lasting scintillating brilliance to your look.

Highly versatile, you can use it in a myriad different ways! Colour stays true, doesn’t streak or flake and its clever micro applicator brush allows for the most precise and accurate application.

Doesn't silver look gorgeous!! These liners remind me of Annabelles Glitterama Liquid Liner! Click here to check out my review.  They`re both pigmented. Also you`re able to control the amount of glitter that comes out.

Tip: Apply pencil eyeliner under these colors to make them pop :D

Visit a Canadian retailer and pick up one of these babies for only $11.95.

My question for you is: Would you be interested in trying these?
