Happy Tuesday Eve! Hope everyone had a great start to the week.

I've got SO much to tell you Beauties!!!!  I've got some exciting MAC posts coming up (one I've already hinted at), I have an everyday look to show you PLUS I have an Rescue Beauty Lounge (heretofore referred to as RBL) haul to update you guys on complete with comparison color pics and last...BIRCHBOX (all details reserved for later).  I may get a couple of them out this week during the evenings but I'd really like to save the RBLs for the weekend so I can get you some natural light pics.  The colors are AMAZING!!!!  Also, I'd like to pose a question....would tutorials via write up or tutorials via video be better?  Just toying with the idea of getting a couple of video tutorials going.  Please let me know.  I appreciate ALL feedback.  Love you all - goodnight!

Apologies to my Coloring Book Beauties

I've been out for a few days due to illness in my family and will be back and posting soon!  I'll be doing a post on red lips and can't wait!!!  I'm also going to be swatching the products I have by color.  If anyone is interested I'm also going to try to do a poll-driven color-specific post like "Peachy Keen".  I'll be putting the poll up shortly!  Enjoy your weekend!

MAC Surf Baby! Summer Stash!

Everyone knows my love for MAC Surf Baby!  I got quite a few items from this collection but opted out of getting the pigment stacks.  Well, yesterday my friend and coworker gifted me a sample set of the Summer Stash pigment stack.  Thank you Maria!!!  These pigments are very metallic but neutral in color.  AMAZING!!!  I used three of the four in the stack for this look.

The lightest color in the stack is used on the brow and inner corner of eye.  The second lightest color is used on the lid. The darkest color in the stack was used in the crease and more concentrated on the outside edge of the lid.  I also used Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Maya.

For this look I used the two lightest colors and the darkest color in the stack.  I also used Refined Golden Bronzer and Good Lovin' lipglass from the MAC Surf Baby collection.  I did use a bit of my own custom mixed lipgloss over top of Good Lovin' though.  It was made with products from TKB Trading (Versagel, Satin Orange Gold mica, Soft Red mica, Golden Bronze mica and Pink Pearl Mica).  I also used NARS Copacabana Multiple, L'Oreal True Match blush in Innocent Flush, Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Maya, Bare Minerals loose eyebrow makeup, L'Oreal True Match foundation in N3, Makeup For Ever HD Powder, Cover Girl pencil liner in Black brown on the water line and black Lash Blast mascara. 

Monday Look of the Day (LOTD) ...Cool pastel eyes!!!!

Nothing like bright and colorful eyes to perk up a Monday morning...ALMOST LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT A CASE OF THE SATURDAYS!!!!

MAC Short Shorts all over eye area, add MAC Aquadisiac to lid, add MAC Juxt to inner lid, add MAC Stars N' Rockets in the crease and put MAC Parfait Amour to outer lid.  I lined my eyes with Almay liquid liner in Purple Amethyst and used MAC Opulash mascara in Victorious.

I also added MAC Short Shorts on my waterline/inner corner of the eye and below the inner corner of the eye and to top it off I added Rimmel purple crayon liner along my lower lash line.

This is MAC Electric Fuchsia on lips.

Seeing red!... in Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Lust Red

When I bought Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill in Lust Red I really wanted RED!  I've done some looks previously with this color but have never gotten the red to show...until now.  This is a very dark look...almost "Chicago" takes on "Goth".  But I LOVE IT for a nighttime look.  My friend bought Makeup For Ever's Aqua Cream in Red and gave me a sample of it to try with my Lust Red.  It's amazing.  Take a look!

Eyes - coat of Makeup For Ever Aqua Cream in Red on the lid, then Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill in Lust Red over top of the red and blended out to the crease, next MAC Silver Fog pigment on inner corner of eye and brow bone and last blended some more Red Aqua Cream from inner lid to mid lid using my MAC 210 liner brush for precise blending. Also used my liner brush to line my lower lash line with a layer of Red Aqua Cream and Lust Red and lined the water line with my black kohl liner.  I used MAC Fluidline gel liner in Blacktrack and my black mascara.  Lips - MAC Heroine, and dab of GA ETK Lust Red, MAC Docile and some MUFE Red Aqua Cream on top....yes complicated but if you have a DARK RED lipstick it would do the trick!

Hope you LOVE IT as much as I do!  Have a great week everyone!!!!

Nail polish collection! I'll be adding labels later... Plus I missed one. :)
