Makeup Wars, Holiday Party Look With Bare Minerals Star Treatment

December 21, 2012 By Carleenp 5 Comments

This week we take on holiday party looks! I tried out my new Bare Minerals Star Treatment Set and a Gold Make Up For Ever Eyeliner for my husband's holiday work party. The Bare Minerals set has eight perfect shades for shimmery metallic party looks. The color payoff in this palette is also amazing!

Here are swatches from the Bare Minerals set in the shades VIP, Connoisseur, Carte Blanche, Ritzy, Kudos, Bragging Rights, Elitist, and Extravagance. The set also comes with an eye primer.

For my look, I used the bottom two shades in the swatches and I also used a Gold Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Liner.

On my lips, I wore Laura Mercier Deco Rouge, a gorgeous limited edition shade that you can still get! Here is a swatch.

For foundation I am wearing Urban Decay Naked Skin, and my blush is a random MAC mineralize blush that I grabbed from my drawer.

Here is my look. The lighting wasn’t great, so I apologize for the blur.

And here we are having fun in the photo booth at the holiday party!

Laura Mercier Smoky Effects Pencil Set Review

November 16, 2012 By Carleenp 2 Comments

The Laura Mercer Smoky Effects Kohl Eye Pencil Set is a great holiday gift, or perfect as a set of pencils for yourself. The set includes 8 mini eye liner pencils in popular shades.

The mini Kohl pencils are soft and apply nicely. They also are rather cute! Below are swatches of the eight pencils in the set taken in indoor light.

And here are swatches in outdoor light.

Finally, here is a quick video review of the set.

October 17, 2012 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

This year, MAC is taking on a retro glamour look for its holiday collections. With losts of pink and black packaging and a classic design, this collection is sure to please a wide number of people. I personally like the packaging much better than any of the past few holiday collections from MAC.

Glamour Daze features Extra Dimension Skinfinish and Powder Blush, plus MAC Extra Dimension Eye Shadow, Fluidline and False Lashes. It also includes Lipglass and Nail Lacquers. I particularly like the nail polish and will be picking some of it up. I will have swatches once the collection is online, which is soon! Glamour Daze with be available online October 23, 2012 and in stores October 25, 2012 through December 27, 2012.

Here are photos.
