Look: Amber Eyes

Tweet

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend thus far. The weather is beautiful here in Northern California, but somehow, I still feel like staying in bed! Anyhow, here's another look for you all that's very on-trend: orange-hued eyeshadow. I actually wore this look to work yesterday and it proved to definitely be work-safe. Surprisingly wearable, the orange-shadow look can be combined with a stronger lip than I usually wear which makes the entire look rich without being overly done-up. 

Look: très jolie with MAC Folie

Tweet

I'm back! I have been so utterly busy lately, but rather than bore you with the details of work and school, I will just head straight to a new look! I have been wearing lots of 'work safe' looks lately and have been in such a hurry that I don't even have time to snap a few photos before heading out the door. Using MAC Folie in the crease, I've created a subtly smoky eye.

Look: MAC Pro Bottle Green Eyeshadow

Tweet

I hope everyone's making good use of their last day of rest before the new work/school week begins!  I just purchased a new green eyeshadow and have been itching for an opportunity to try it out.  MAC Bottle Green is a Pro color.  Its texture is much like their permanent color, Plumage, and has similar pigmentation.  It is not quite as smooth when applied as I would've liked, but more comments on that in a later review.  I'd describe it as a teal-ed forest green.  This color reminds me of "pine green" (perhaps there is a colored pencil somewhere with that same name).

Wow or WTF? -- Black Light Makeup by MUFE

Tweet

I just happened to be browsing MUFE's newly added products on Sephora.com and came across this special $31 pigment that is

A transparent, universal powder that is only visible under UV light.

 Have you guys ever tried on special effects makeup?  Is this a Halloween gimmick or something that you could possibly wear to places with black lights like concerts?  Are you all dressing up for Halloween?  I am thinking of passing out candy as a black cat.
