MAC MINERAL SKIN FINISH

These are my only 4 Mac MSF's. I love the idea of them. I love the way they look, but honestly I hardly use them. I use them as a highlighter, but since I don't own many matte blushes, I try not to look too shiny or glittery. I pulled them out because they're one of the products I want to use more of. Maybe if I got the darker shades of the MSF's, I could use it as a blush. I was looking at the Mac Colour Craft collection & I love a lot of the MSF's. I hope they look just as good in person. The colors look darker.

But what I do use a lot are the MSF natural. I love them because it can be used by itself or to set your foundation. They don't leave a powdery look, but a really pretty shine, no glitter. I don't really use the shimmer side of the split MSF, but it's a really pretty shimmer.
What are your thoughts on Mac MSF's? What are your suggestions or ideas? What do you think of the Colour Craft collection?

CLIPLESS CURLING IRON HAUL

COST:$43

SIZE:25-18

I found this on Amazon from Le Angelique. I could not pass it up for the money. A warning though, it came in a box w/no papers. The company offers a phone number to get in touch with them. They shipped it out the next day & I got it within 4 days. They also offer other size barrels & sell flat irons.

You get really pretty loose curls. I've been watching tutorials on YT. Pursebuzz has a good one using the Enzo Milano.

This curling iron gets so hot, use the glove that comes with it. I will put up a pic of my hair when I've had more practice.

Do you have one of these? Any tips?

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH- COASTAL SCENTS DELUXE BUFFER BRUSH

COST $8 @Coastal Scents

I have had this brush for a couple of years & used it for mineral makeup. I pulled it out & am now using it with my Colorstay Liquid Foundation, I am sooooo in love. My skin looks air brushed. It looks like I have no makeup on. It's perfect for summer. I also only need a small amount of product, & it's a super fast application. This is the short handle brush, the longer handle brush is too soft & the bristles don't cover good enough. The brush is still wet in this pic, but these brushes are great. After you wash them, they don't really shed & get softer.
I'm going to try the 109 dupe that I got from IMATS next. Give it a try & let me know what you think. Do you like this brush? What other face brushes do you recommend?

IMATS 2009-HAUL

Imats was super busy when I was there. I had to wiggle my way into the Crown Brushes area, or wait my turn to get to a brush. I was patient, & this is what I got. The prices were the same as the CS, but at least I wasn't paying shipping. I can't wait to try the Kabuki on a stick, 109 dupe.I found the Mehron concealer wheel & Primer that I have been wanting to try. I will review them after I try them out.
I love this empty palette. It's called the Z palette & it's magnetized. It will hold any depotted eyeshadow or blush. You make your own custom palette to hold e/s with blushes. They have a website,www. zpalette.com, that shows you how to depot Nars, Cargo, Mac, & many other brands. Take a look at it. $16.95
The top is see through, so you could see what's inside. It holds 27 Mac e/s though.
I found this foundation palette at Crown brushes for $15. I wanted to try it for the green, lavender, & dark color for sculpting. I thought it was a good price to experiment with.
That's it. I though I would find more, but I knew I wouldn't use the bright colors or the glitters, so I passed. Has anyone tried any of the makeup products?

IMATS 2009 + Rant+ Random

Hello everyone. My life has been kookoo crazy!!

I did go to IMATS after all. I thought I wouldn't make it, but I went on Sunday. I did haul, so I will post that. I didn't go crazy. They had a lot of loose e/s, & I'm too messy for that. I bought a lot of brushes. It was pretty crowded, but not bad. I did see a few gurus walking around. They had demos going on everywhere. The special effects makeup was amazing! I couldn't get into MUFE because it was soooooo crowded. I wanted a foundation, but so did everyone else & the testers were everywhere. I couldn't test the colors. Mac was crazy too. They were more organized though. I didn't get anything there. I'm going on a trip so I'm holding back on spending!!!

Did you go to IMATS? What did you think?

Next, this is for the John/Kate followers. Did you see the show last night. I think they both are both selfish. It's sad they're divorcing, but things happen. They suck because she hasn't been there(she's been on tour for 2 yrs) & he's looking for an apt. in NY. You're running from your kids, they're not in NY. The house is where they'll stay when its their turn with the kids. WHAT??? She filed for divorce yesterday. I didn't believe her tears. I would be curled up in a ball, not giving my $75K interview. I hope his new girl & her body guard/boyfriend are happy. What happened to them going to church & her family money making speaking engagements at churches??

What do you think about these 2?

Finally, I have decided to use the clothes that I have & recycle them. Change them, cut them, I'm not sure yet? I'm working on it, but I do have a sewing machine!!!!!

Any ideas????

JUICY COUTURE PRESENT & HAUL

Happy Father's Day to my hubby!!  Our kids left for a couple of weeks, but I'm still celebrating w/Sugar Daddy, luv you!

I was shopping for father's day & I picked up a little Juicy wrist clutch to match my Mamma's Day gift from the hubby & kids.  This is the purse.  I love it because it a metallic silver & leather. I think it's great for the summer! I love the chain(it's plastic) & it's light weight.

This is the wrist clutch that I'm using as wallet & evening clutch when I go out.
I love the pattern inside & the credit card holders. I also have room to throw in a powder & lippie for a night out. I saw it in silver, but it sold. Then I noticed the gold studs on my purse & bought this. I got a great deal on it at Lohmann's. I had a 25% off $49 + 10%.  
What do you love from Juicy?  I wonder if they will come out w/ makeup?

FABULINER/EYE LINER- PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

COST:$2@Walgreens

I have been using Revlon's Colorstay eyeliner FOREVER, until now.  I saw a bunch of YT's review this & it's great. It's cheap,great color payoff, & last a long time. The reviews say this is better than Mac's eyeliner pen that just came out.

Fabuliner(L) & Revlon (R) The wand is thicker & wider, but the end product is worth it. It does have a very pinted tip to get close to the eyelashes. It does take a little practice to get used to. Now I just slop it on with one hand. 
Revlon(TOP) & Fabuliner(bottom) With Revlon you go over the lines to get the same color w/1 swipe of the Fabuliner. It's really great. If you're not a pro with liquid eyeliner, put a line down with a pencil first & go over it with the liquid!
I bought this in brown also & its really pretty. The color is dark enough to show up & looks brown.  

Have you tried this? What's your favorite eyeliner?
