Back to MAC Recycling Program
Posted on September 21, 2011 | 4 CommentsBack to MAC (Back2Mac/B2M) is a program at MAC Cosmetics that rewards customers for recycling their empty containers. When you turn in 6 containers that have plastic, you receive either a free lipstick at a MAC counter in a department store or a free lipstick, lip gloss, or single eye shadow at a freestanding MAC store. Here are some examples of items you can bring in as well as pictures of what I traded and got for free! Read more... -
Brown and Gold-Green Duochrome Look
Posted on September 19, 2011 | 6 CommentsThis is my first makeup look using one of the Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadows that I recently reviewed.

Fashion Friday: Episode 82
Posted on September 16, 2011 | Leave a CommentNow that summer is coming to an end yet the weather has still been pretty warm, I was drawn to this dress since the length, material, and sleeves make it a good transition piece for chillier weather.

Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadows
Posted on September 14, 2011 | 6 CommentsI picked up these three gorgeous pure pigments at Inglot in Town Square Las Vegas!

The color payoff is awesome, and they blend very easily with other pigments and pressed eye shadows. Check out pictures of the swatches and how these pigments look up close in their containers!

White, Gold, and Purple EOTD
Posted on September 12, 2011 | 33 CommentsReader Maria sent me a request for an eye makeup look that she can wear with her formal eggplant purple dress for an Air Force ball. Since she mentioned that she prefers eye shadow that isn't too smokey, I came up with this look that uses neutral colors with a little pop of purple to tie in the color of her dress. I wanted to keep the overall look light but still dramatic for a nighttime look. I also added gold to this look, since gold really stands out with purple. Here's how to do this Eye of the Day!
