MAC Green Pigments Look
Posted on August 7, 2010 | 4 CommentsMany of my looks using pigments are applied wet, since it makes the colors more vibrant. I wanted to show you that pigments still look great dry as well.

Fashion Friday: Episode 27
Posted on August 6, 2010 | 2 CommentsI got this yellow-gold strapless dress at Macy's. The style is called Kaleidoscope Sky Strapless Dress by Grass Collection.

Steel Blue Look
Posted on August 3, 2010 | 6 CommentsSteel blue color is typically a less vibrant shade of blue, since it's supposed to resemble steel metal. However, MAC Pro's "Steel Blue" Pigment is just gorgeous! I wish steel really did look like this shimmery goodness. Read more...
