Mac Burmese Beauty

Today my Mac Burmese Beauty came so I had to use it.... The colors are named as follows,,,,Prized, Burmese Beauty, Skintone and showstopper...Nice neutral palette.  I really like this....Here is how I used it.

Eyes
Mac painterly paint pot on lid
Lid Skintoned (f)
Crease Burmese Beauty (L)
outer lid and outer crease Showstopper (m)
highlight is prized (s)
lined upper lash line with Dirty greaspaint stick
lower lash line outer is Burmese Beauty
inner prized
Dior black mascara

Face
Clinique Super City Block
Physicians formula green concealer on blemishes
Mac Studio Fix liquid foundation
Loose mineral foundation to set
Mac On a mission blush
Elf concealer under the eyes....

Lips
Lip balm
Mac Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet from the Young Punk collection
Mac Glimmerglass in Blackware from the Young Punk collection

This is a really nice palette I think.  The colors are pretty neutral but I know I could make them more intense using a cream pencil as a shadow base.  They blend very nicely also....Did you get anything from this collection?

Leather cuff bracelets that we made....

My husband does some belt work but we decided to come up with an idea for cuff bracelets.  I love cuffs.  You can wear them with anything...These cuffs are leather and holes are hand punched for the snaps.  Everything is done by hand....Now, the one that is brown with the double black cross is mine.  I have double snaps on that just because I like the look of that....The black one is my daughters and hers is a single snap with a different cross on it.  We are going to be doing some up here.  The leather we will be using is the basketweave leather as shown in the picture.  It will be dyed black or brown and the regular cross is going to be applied.  Double or single snapped.  Now if anyone is interested please let me know.  I would need a wrist size...color and if you want the black cross I will order a bunch.  Right now since I am just starting I just have the reg. cross.  You can email me at jj9103@aol.com....Thanks for looking....

Surprise ending!!!

Have you ever had those days where you have some colors in mind but you just keep adding to them.  That is what I did today and this is what happened.  I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.  The best look I have done in a while.  I am very pleased.  Now I will try and remember what I used.

Eyes
Mac painterly paint pot
lid Mac creme De violet
crease Illamasqua Jules
lightly went over lid again wit Illamasqua purple color...can't read the name
highlight with Illamasqua in immortal
brought immortal into corner of eyes and lower lash line also
ended up doing the outer crease and outer lid with a purple from my Dior Night butterfly collection
I also ended up using a matte purple from that also on inner lid and outside of eye
lined upper lash line with Mac Greasepaint stick in B (which is a blue) from the DSquared collection.  I used a stiff brush to draw the line on.
lower lash line i used a pencil brush to apply the purple color from Illamasqua
Dior black mascara

Face
Physicians formula green concealer
Physicians formula Healthywear powder foundation
Mac studio fix powder foundation
Elf concealer under eyes

Cheeks
Illamasqua blush in Rumour
Mac On a Mission Blush

Lips
Lip balm
Mac lipstick in Cherish
Illamasqua lipstick in Phropesy

I think that is it....I really love the Mac greasepaint sticks for lining the eyes.  They do have a sharpener built into the end of the pencil.  Really a nice feature my favorite liners.

Now I need to find a new hairdo....Always so fun!!!  Have a good day!!!

Suds N Sass samples

I received my suds n sass samples the other day....lovely colors.  I seemed to have a hard time  getting them to show up.  Is there a trick to really get these colors to pop.  I used my detrivore primer which is always amazing and they still didn't give me the intense payoff I was looking for.  Any suggestions?  The colors look so amazing.  I really loved the personal thank you note that came along with the order.  Very nice.  If anyone has some application suggestions please send them my way.  Thanks.....
