photos or to even write it down! This is what I did today. I really loved how it looked. The photo does not show the golden peachy color near the tear duct. And no, those are not fake lashes. Don't my lashes look really long???
So nice and neat. That did not last. Looks like a bomb went off in the drawer now...or maybe it was just a petite princess playing around in my eyeshadow drawer. :)
Okay, this is a very old post that I never published. I need to reorganize and get everything listed, then republish.
Okay, I have been promising forever to post a few photos of my makeup "desk." Here they are! I inherited the desk is from my great aunt. I used to use it to hold all my office supplies, but found that the drawers were too shallow for all of the stationary and pens I have. When we moved, I decided that our bedroom was a better location for it and stuffed it with makeup and other things. The top and bottom drawers hold miscellaneous junk - face charts, stuff I don't use (need to toss some day), makeup bags, samples. Nothing worth photographing.
This is the desk closed up and looking good - it rarely looks this orderly! The kids were busy playing so I actually had time to clean it all up before snapping the shots. You can see my palettes on the left. My face powders, beauty powders and MSFs are on the right. I also have containers that hold me large and small brushes, my concealers, my misc. face products, and my liners, mascaras, and UDPP.
Here is the lip drawer. I just redid this drawer, but need to organize it better. At least now I can see the labels. I have a holder for my reds, neutral/brown/golds, and pinks (of course, for me, the largest group). I also have a holder with my lipglasses that I want to organize by color groups. There is also a container with the taller MAC glosses and a pile of rarely used non-MAC lipsticks and glosses. Plus a pile of MAC lipstick/gloss compacts. I so do not need any more lipsticks or glosses!!!
Here is the eyeshadow drawer. These are all the shadows and pigments that are not in my palettes. On the left are the larger sized shadows - mineralized ones and a few pots of ones that I either forgot to get in pan form or are LE. Then come the miscellaneous shadows in front. The special compacts are fitted in next, then a box with my paint pots and original paints (mine still work great even though older). The two clear containers on the right hold my pigments with a smaller container in front holding the samples sizes and the small holiday sized pigments. Also in front are all my reflects and glitters.
I have been searching high and low for my Lollipop Loving l/s ever since it was repromoted with Hello Kitty. I FINALLY
found it. To celebrate the finding of such peachy green goodness, I pulled out the Heatherette eyeshadow trio #1 and did a peachy green eye to go along with my Lollipop Loving.
Since I suggested the "A Rose Romance" challenge after having already done a look, I figured I should at least do a second. I took the inspiration from the eyes that my MA had on when I went to see the collection. It turned out darker than hers, so I may try again another day. Probably due to the two munchkins running around my feet while applying my makeup! :)
I went in yesterday and took a look at the new "A Rose Romance" release at MAC. The colors are very pretty and it's a nice soft spring look. I figure I have dups for the two pink shadows, I have Shadowy Lady and Creme de Violet, and the silver is nothing special. I loved the looks of the rose shaped beauty powder, but have so many I don't use that I could not see getting either. Both are pretty though! The l/s and l/g were both pretty. My fav is Odyssey, but I already have it. I am thinking of getting the rose Fix+, if they still have it when I am in next, I may. I still have about half a bottle, so does not make sense to get it now just for the scent.
Had to add in a photo like the old days with the baby included!
So, I finally got something done with my hair. The photo really does not do it justice, but I think that the flash just cannot pick up the color. The highlights are a pretty blond color. My friend Angie did it and I am really happy with the change. It was looking too dark after many years of dying it the darkest brown. Especially with L's hair getting to be such a pretty light brown.
I am finally posting again! Blogger finally got over it's annoying habit of always making me do that security code thing, even after sending them numerous emails to get it fixed.
