I MET MAXINE!!!!

I MET MAXINE!!!!

So remember that I LOVE craft store paint brushes? Remember how I have encouraged you ALL to go out and get Maxine’s Mop? Remember how Maxine is a friend of my Mother-In-Law’s? Okay, enough of the remembers…I MET HER!!!!!! Let me just say that she is spunky, fun and FaBuLoUs!!!!! She was teaching a painting workshop out where my M-I-L also teaches so I went out there…and maybe I was a geek and got her to sign my brushes….and I was able to tell her about the blog and how we all love her brushes. I made sure to only use her brushes that morning too…I really am a nerd =). She was absolutely tickled and will be visiting the blog =). Isn’t she lovely?

Chanel Mascara Review

Chanel Mascara Review

My friend Codi just sent me samples of mascaras and I started with the Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara. I LOVE it!!!!! It will run you $28 so it is pricey but I am happy to say that I was able to try the trial size and will be using every OUNCE that I can. The next review will be on Lancome Volume Mascara. The search continues…..

Something New

So, I know that all of you don’t buy MAC or have some of the colors. I have been building up my collection for YEARS!!!! I have some literally that date back to 1998, so please don’t think that I have all the money in the world to buy them =). Something new that I decided to do for you is that at the start of each post I have put the generic colors that I used i.e pink, deep blue. That way you can pull out any brand color that you have and use it =). Hope this helps ladies!!!

Green Orchid Tutorial

Green Orchid Tutorial

Shadow Colors Used:
– Lime Green
– Wine/Plum
– Brown
– Creamy White (brow bone)

I don’t care WHO you are or what eye color you have DO THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!!! I want to hear from you on this one because it is SO my fav now!!!!! I have NEVER worn a look two days in a row and this one is going on THREE. I LOOOOOVE IT!!!!!! =) The video just doesn’t even do it justice. You don’t have to use all MAC products but the color combo really is the key. SO pretty!!!

So the voice over cut me off right before I gave a vital detail to the look. On the brow bone all over is a touch of Vanilla but right at the arch use a couple pats of a white color to give it a pop!!! =) I used White Avalanche by MAC.

Isn’t this cake gorgeous?!?!?
Makeup Organization

Makeup Organization

Here is what I am going to start using to hold all of my pigments and 5 gram jars. It is a nail polish wall mount and you can mount it any where you do your makeup!!!! How hot and organized is that?????

Has anyone else’s child started the “fake” cry/whine? Kayson uses it ALL the time now, so this is me getting just a bit annoyed with him using it for the 17th time that day =). He’s laying and lamenting under my chair.
