Bare Escentuals Eye Quickies!!
I just bought Bare Escentuals Eye Quickies set in Mystery (lighter purple pink) and masquerade (darker teal with a hint of purple maybe ) and I LOVE them with UDPP-SIN!!! For $15 you can't go wrong. I used MAC DazzleLash in brown, MUFE eyeliner in brown and Physicians Formula felt-tip liner in brown on upper lash line with mystery. I used MAC DazzleLash in black, MUFE eyeliner in black, and MAC Penultimate liner on upper lash line with Masquerade.




Uh Oh! + Collective Haul
Poor poor mmmeeeee I had surgery at 12pm today and well it kinda sucks. They had to tighten ligaments in my ankle due to injuries I sustained in high school not being taken care of properly. That and I kept injuring the same ankle and it never healed right. So lucky me got to have surgery for all that jazz. Ive been out of work for two whole week now, and I honestly just want to go back :( Before all this nonsense happened I bought both pallets from Hello Kitty, and Dame Edna (MAC of course :) ) along with various things from Bare Escentuals, and Sephora.

Hiya!
I am back . . but probably not for very long. Holiday season is back, and I, unfortunately work in retail. I lost my Heavenly Natural samples so sorry for not having any swatches. As for the MAC launches I haven't been buying much. I did though, purchase the Dazzle Lash mascara in both the brown and black color. People say it clumps or flakes . . . I have had no problem with it. It does clump if I let it dry completely between coats. I love it, but it is still in the "trial" period for me. The holiday collection is amazing if you have the money.. . .
Emanuel Ungaro seemed too plain for me. Only thing I possibly would consider is stark naken beauty powder. CremeSheen had some awesome colors, but again I have so much lip color that it would have been a waste of money. Manish Arora looked awesome! Unfortunately I didn't get to buy anything :( It was all sold out online when I got around to it. Sheer Minerals are nice, but I honestly use make up forever for foundation and I don't use powder/pressed powder foundation, and the mineralized eyeshadow/blushes are beautiful, but I bought all the ones from the electroflash collection so I just enjoyed looking at them. Metal Urge was/is too much like Metal-X from last year so, again a place to save money :)

HeavenlyNaturals Swatches *Mineral Pigments*
I just got my order of Heavenly Natural Mineral Pigments today! So, as I promised, here are the swatches. Just click on Heavenly Natural to be connected to their etsy web page. Enjoy!
The only one that was hard to swatch was Beauty Queen. It was looser, and more glittery. It's a fuschia mineral pigment that would be great with clear lipgloss. Sugar & Spice, Truth or Dare, and Pure Bliss don't show up that well in the picture, but they are really great colors. The second set of swatches are actually more purple in color, but show up a little blueish and darker in the photo than they really are. Also Lovely Lady and Honesty appear similar, but Lovely Lady is more white while Honesty is more silver.
