Style Black MAC launch



I really have not been this excited about a MAC Cosmetics launch in a long time! Everyone knows that I absolutely love MAC. I've been a loyal follower for about fifteen years and was even fortunate enough to be part of their dynamic company for a few years. It's like your first love--there will always be a special place in your heart even if you go out and expand your horizons.

Anyway, I feel giddy again. Like I ran into my first love at the super market and now can't seem to get it off my mind. This launch is awesome! I LOVE eyeliner--and if you know me--this comes to no surprise. My mom used to say that I was "heavy handed" when it came to applying my eyeliner. "No, mom. I put it on like this on purpose!" She never totally understood my fixation with black eyeliner. That's okay. She thought I would grow out of it but here I am, 33 (almost) years old, and like a kid on Christmas morning excited about getting my hands on the Style Black products.

You can't go wrong with these amazing mineral shadows that have a vein of shimmer/sparkle running through them. You can wear them wet or dry and are pretty amazing. The one I HAVE TO HAVE is called Blue Flame. It's a black eyeshadow with blue pearl veining. AHH-MAZING!

There is also a black grease stick (I'm curious about getting my little paws on this), a "PENULTIMATE" eyeliner--which is basically a black liquid eyeliner that comes in the packaging of a felt tip pen. I don't have this product yet either--but as I am writing about it I am in full COVET mode. They also released a product called "glimmerglass" in which I'm very curious about. Also, they released a couple of creme color bases that my kit is incomplete without. I think a trip to the PRO store is in order.

Wow. That's a pretty intense color palette - is this for fall 09? Not sure if I can carry that off with my light features :)

A "Wrinkle" in Time (pun intended)

First things first. I need to just touch on this span of time that has gone by in a wink of an eye. A span of time that has taught me some valuable life lessons along with some tough love, and thankfully moments of pure joy. A decade. An entire decade. This is the amount of time that has gone by since I first started dabbling in documenting my experiences with cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances! Whoa, geez! So much has happened over the past decade. An experience of broken bone hell (you can read all about it at: diary of my broken ankle hell ), degrees earned (SpEd teaching credential and Masters Degree), careers started (from freelance makeup artist to high school special education RSP teacher), purchased and built a new home, my awesome sassy pants daughter graduated from high school and eventually moved on to study marketing in the beauty industry at FIDM (a girl after my own heart!),  a sweetheart son who recently turned eighteen and is on the verge of graduating high school...

INTERVENE by Elizabeth Arden

It’s that time of year again when I am just totally and completely consumed with bridal makeup! I love it. I love being a part of making a woman feel and look beautiful on one of the most special days of her lives. She knows she looks her best as she is gliding down that aisle to her beloved….her future….her hopes and dreams in front of her as she passes by her family and friends. I starting to notice that there was a difference in the final result of a makeup application on a woman on her wedding day and I needed to put my finger on what made a woman glow on her wedding day. I think it just comes from within. Like maybe from the joy and excitement or maybe from the sweet anticipation that the bride feels as she is getting ready to start the rest of her life as a married woman. Whatever it is…I am always on the look out for those products that give that “Special Glow.” As always, I am constantly trying new products. Of course I have my constant favorites in which I am loyal to but I al...

URBAN DECAY Spring 2010!!!

One thing that I can absolutely say is that my life is never, ever dull! Just when I thought I was on the path of freedom--on my way-- literally --to celebrate the completion of my teaching credential program I took a lame spill off my porch and broke my ankle! What a dork! I find out if I need surgery tomorrow.....but in the meantime, when I'm not totally doped up and loopy, I've decided to catch up on some reading, writing, and planning of birthday parties and family vacations we would like to take this year. First off, I couldn't wait to share my ever consuming love of Urban Decay Cosmetics with everyone. It just so happens that it ties in very well with the preparation of my daughter's 12th birthday party that we are planning for her--an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatters' birthday! Consequently, Urban Decay just released their Alice in Wonderland palette last week! I must get my fingers on this darling palette full of great shadows, 24 7 liners, and a primer p...
