I did my little review on Revlon Color Stay foundation and loved it but it made me itch. Remember?
Well.........I loved the freakin' stuff SO much that I decided to try it again with hopes that I didn't get itchy and......I didn't! YAY!!!! *claps* I wore the stuff for a little over 23 hours this 4th of July weekend (don't EVER do that). I went motorcycle riding, took a few naps, was too lazy to wash my face in the shower for our night out etc.... I got a lil oily after about 20 hours. But, just a lil. Heres my "after 20 hours" photo>


This stuff is the BOMB!! Now that i'm not a itchy little monster anymore when I wear it, this will now be my foundation of choice. MAC Studio Fix Fluid is being shelved! :}

Now go get yourself some!! BTW, I wear Caramel 400!

New Stuff

I went to the IMATS show a couple of weeks ago and came across a makeup sanitizing product titled Beauty So Clean. It claims to kill bacteria in 10 seconds.

They have sanitizing wipes for lipsticks, glosses, etc. & sanitizing spray for eye shadows, pressed powders, etc.











They also have brush cleaner but as most of you know, I believe Cinema Secrets has the BEST brush cleaner hands down!!!

I really like the Beauty So Clean product. Its a bit expensive but money should be no object when it comes to your health or the health of your clients.
I'm a germaphobe when it comes to my makeup anyway. I NEVER use the gloss or lip sticks straight from the tubes. That's just gross!


I went by Walgreens and picked up some products that needed to be refilled and a few things I had never used.

I came across a Nail Art Pen by Sally Hansen ($7.99). I've heard mention of it but didn't really pay it any attention. They had black, red, green, & navy blue at the store. I got the black one.
I like it so far! Check out my toes!


Hey, hey, hey......I did the best I could!! Stop laughing!! :p









The polish is some $.99 NYC polish I picked up. I like it. Its cool I guess.











I also saw these eye shadows by Milani ($3.99)
I didn't see that many colors to choose from so I got Java Bean and Iced Blue. They're good for the price they were. You definitely need an eye shadow base for them though. I'll have photos using these soon.

Zebra Inspired Lips

I bought a tube of lipstick from MAC and it came in this cool zebra box.
It totally inspired me. I want to do it on my eyes when I have a little more free time but I got a chance to throw it on my lips. Here is what I did>>

First, I moisturized





Then I applied a white cream base by MAC called Luna.



Then I set it with powder. I used NYX White Frost eye shadow.








Then I added the zebra print with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack and these were the results>>>>
*please note, I can NOT draw to save my life*

Round 2

So my child was bugging the *you know what* out of me to do a Butterfly AND a Lady Bug.
This time I used eye shadows and pencils. It came out better than I thought it would. Check it out!>>>

















When I get my drawing skills together I'll have a party for the kids and paint faces or something!

A Night with the Kids

I had a night with the bay bays. I decided to entertain them by impressing them with my horrible drawing skills!
I put a lady bug on their left eyes. They were acting a little to "bay bay" to get the other one done! LOL Heres how it turned out>>>>>























I used Palladio Midnight Blue & Bright Red and NYX Black eye liner pencils.

Late Night b4 and after

So...I was up, couldn't sleep, bored as heck! There's my b4!


First I applied Merle Normans Automatic Shadow Base. Be sure to spread your base evenly so that your eyeshadow doesn't look blotchy. Let the base dry.














I then applied MAC Trax and MAC Naked Lunch as a highlight. (Right under my brow)
Afterward I applied MAC Satellite Dreams on my lid and little above my crease.





I then applied MAC Fig.1 to the lid but not entirely covering Satellite Dreams.





I applied MAC Graphology to the outer corner and
cleaned up the fallen eyeshadow and base with a baby wipe and filled
in my brow with MAC Handwritten.













Then, I added a little MAC Carbon to the outer corner and lightly blended.







I applied more of all the shadows, blended it in, cleaned up more fallen shadow and applied MAC NC45 concealer and blended.


I applied Mary Kay Bronze #500 foundation. Added MAC Electra to the inner eye, Satellite Dreams and Fig.1 under bottom lashes. I then applied MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in dark, MAC Refined Deeper Bronze below my cheek bones, and MAC Plum Foolery & MAC Desert Rose blush to my cheek bones.>>










Next, I lined my eyes with MAC Fluidline Blacktrack & MAC Sunsational lipstick. I apologize for being too lazy to put on lashes! :} Or even mascara for that matter!!













Then.......I used MAC Currant lip liner, NYX French Kiss






in the center of my lips, & Palladio Facet on the rest. This is how it all turned out>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
