Hey gals and dolls!!! Did you miss me???? I've been soooooo busy and I have a million and one things going on at once BUT I'm going to start posting more often. Any whoo :) without further ado here is a FOTD and swatches.

This a look I did using the color 4 neutral quad from the Spring Color Forecast collection. I got a few things from this collection and it's my favorite since Style Black. This quad is amazing if you like neutrals. Check out the pics below and ill break down the look.







Foundation- MAC Studio Fix fluid in NC50
Powder- MAC Blow powder in Deep dark
Base-MAC Groundwork p/p
Inner corner-Flip
Middle lid-Aztec Brick
Outer Corner and blended into the crease-Creole beauty
Brow bone highlight- Manila paper
Mascara- Covergirl Lash blast in brown
Eyeliner(only on the waterline)-MAC Teddy Eye kohl
Blush-MAC minneralized blush in Light over dark (THIS IS A MUST HAVE for WOC!)
Lips-3n l/g, Chestnut l/l

Soo...I have been LOVING my Minneralized blush in Light over dark. It was LE :( It's the perfect nude blush/highlight I def forgot to take a picture of the blush itself >.< but here are swatches...



Pretty huh? Well...awesome news...this is being repromoted in the MAC Pret-a-papier collection that is coming out April 22nd (but it may be out earlier...I don't know why MAC keeps releasing collections early like that) so if you're interested in it you have a chance to snag one. I use the dark side as a blush and the light side as a highlight. well ladies. That's about it. Ill see you in my next post! Smooches!!

Halloween and FOTD

Hey gals and dolls! I hope you lovlies had an awesome halloween! I dressed up as a Ninja...nothing wild...Here is me and a pic of my friend Schwan...we had a blast that night!

Anyway...I have a FOTD that I want to share with you. I got MAC Woodwinked e/s in a previous haul. I decided to a a fall look with it...think woodsy, deep burgundy MU...anyway...I used MAC Groundwork p/p as a base from lashline to brow, MAC woodminked all over the lid, MAC artifact pp in the crease blended out and MAC Vex as a highlighter. I used Sweet as Cocoa on my cheeks and Nightmoth l/p with Night Violet l/s.







I hope you dolls liked this look! Stay tuned for my hauls from Sephora!

XOXO Candi

MAC haul!!!

Hey Gals and Dolls!! I hope all you ladies(and guys) are doing great! I just came off a long weekend packed full of work. I'm sooo tired and all I want to do is sleep for the next week! The weather had been a bit dreary so I haven't really too stuck on doing a full face of makeup. My look has consisted of MAC eyeliner in Blacktrack, MAC blush in Sweet as Cocoa and MAC lipglass in Viva Glam V (I LOVE this l/g...this is a MUST for my DDD's)m and MAC Zoom lash mascara. If I'm working during the week then I'll do a whole face. Maybe I'l post a pic for you guys and gals soon. On days where I have to train and I'm not in the office I go without makeup because it gets really hot and sweaty in all that gear I have to run around in...yuck. Anyway...on to my haul. The nearest MAC store is about 8 hours away from here so I have to order online :( so without further ado...my baby MAC haul...


I got 2 p/p's in Groundwork(makes an amazing base) and Indianwood, 3 e/s in Nocturnelle, Woodwinked and Amber lights, a l/s in Hug me, l/p in Spice, a MAC 209 brush which I LOVE and a sample of Zoom black mascara.

FOTD

Hey gals and Dolls! I wanted to show you divas my FOTD today! I decided to go a bit outside the box and I did a grey smokey eye with a cut crease. On my lips I used MAC Viva Glam V l/g with a MAC chestnut l/l. It was my first time doing a cut drease and while doing my look I discovered that Im missing a key brush out of my brush stash. I really need to get a smudger brush beccause it makes it way easier for me to blend out my crease...so in my next MAC order thats what i'll do...but in the meanwhile I decided to use my smudger brush out of my Sephora travel brush set. Anyway...for this look I used select cover up concealer in NW 45 for my base, then I used MAC silver ring e/s for my lid, MAC Arena for my browbone, and MAC Carbon for my cut crease. Let me know if you want it step by step and I'll post it for you gals.

Sephora

I tried to place an order right at midnight when it started and the site crashed 3 minutes later...lol!! I ended not being able to place my order until I woke up this morning and the website was still acting a bit screwy but my order went through...YAY!!! I ordered 2 NARS blushes (Taos and Lovejoy) and I ordered some Carol's Daughter products (def HG material). Can't wait for it to get in! Go to the website and order now ladies!! GO!!!
