New Mac Line C-Shock June 14th

Releasing on June 14th Nationwide. C-Shock. Finally something to be excited about. All the vibrant colors look absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to check it out, 2 whole weeks before the release, hopefully they will be distinctively different from the other colors from the past.

5 Min Purple Eyes

I get a lot of emails about which color looks best on everyone, and I think its gotta be Purples. The first color I experimented with was purple, and that began the love affair with makeup and colors. In this demo I kept it simple with one brush and two colors. Very quick and easy 5 min look that will last up until the night. :)

• Using ONE BRUSH :) and a "q-tip"
• MAC cream de violet (dark purple)
  
• MAC parfait amour (pinkish purple)
  
• MAC mauvism paint (purple base)
  
• MAC provence pigment (natural highlighter)
• Lip Lustre-Morning Glory
• LipStick-Orchidazzle
  

Big Baby Blues

This is a request for a baby blue eyes look, but in a way that will not make your eyes look smaller. Just use a darker blue on the outer to give dimension. I bet you can't even tell that the main colors aren't MAC. The brushes used in this video are from Costco.

• Urban decay Potion Primer
• NYX baby blue loose powder
• NYX Atlantic
• MAC Cream Color base in Luna
  

Eye Shadow Base

Virtually every brand has an eyeshadow base from paints, creams to liquids.. But which one is right for you?
My top shadow bases are(in no particular order) :

• Urban Decay Potion Primer(I forgot to mention its great for oily eyelids)
  
• MAC paint in Stillife
• MAC cream base in Luna
• MAC shade stick (but only after I put on a cream color base)

You just have to find one that fits your need. I find that Urban Decay Primer Potion does make everything stay and last a very long time. But its a B!t*h to blend. Soo...I found a remedy by putting a cream base over it for blendability. If you just use the cream color base on its own it should do the trick, but it may not stay on over 8 hours depending on your other shadows and how deep set your eyes are(creasing can occur). The paint Stillife is great because it makes any shadow shimmery and more intense. It can be drying if you have drier eye lids, this may not be the one for you. Shadesticks, these are great depending on which color you choose. I have a few but the only one I like so far are dark colors like Sea Me. It goes on smooth and doesn't hurt my lids. If I use beiging I have to put on the cream base first then the shadestick so that the colors blend without scratching your lids.
Well I hope this quick run down on shadow bases helps. Have a great Long weekend!!!!!!

Costco Brush Review

Here is my Quick Costco Brush Set Review. This is a great set for someone who doesn't want to spend too much on brushes but want the luxury of variety. It's not MAC but its pretty darn good :) My fave is the Kabuki brush.. yay for COSTCO :)

MAC At A Discount?

MAC at close to 40% ??? Doesn't that sound like a dream? Well its not a dream and no need to pinch yourself :) If you are fortunate enough to live by a "The Company Store" Outlet then you can grab MAC at a deal. The Company Store is an outlet cosmetic store that sells ESTEE LAUDER, CLINIQUE, BOBBY BROWN AND OUR FAVORITE MAC!!!! I know that the The Company Store in the Carlsbad Outlet (close to San Diego) has lots of stuff in stock. They have about 15 different color shadows(about $10), three different quads(about $22), lipglass, ($10) every glimmer shimmer possible, cream blushes and skincare products galore. So for those who do not have that MAC PRO card should take advantage of the discounts at THE COMPANY STORE. You can go to your local outlet's website and see if they have this store. I don't recall the names of the items available but give them a ring and i'm sure they can help :) Good Luck and can't wait to hear what goodies you found :)

The prices stated above are rounded up.

I've been asked which brushes are the ones I use from Costco.. Well here is a photo of them from Costco's site. I received these as a gift last year, but if you see them better put them in your cart. They won't ever match MAC's brushes... but for the price of $20 and 14 pieces its a steal!
