TGIF: Shopping, Cactus and Fortune = busy night!
Friday night, dinner at Cactus Club and then off to Fortune Sound Club for some fun with the boys =)
I am still obsessed with purples so I chose my purple shades for my fave purple smokey eye. It has been my ultimate go-to smokey eye lately. Actually I've been alternating between browns and purples.
Eyes:
MAC Contrast e/s
MAC Parfait Amour e/s
MAC Indian Ink e/s
MAC Rice Paper e/s
MAC Naked Pigment (used w/ fix plus)
Lineur Intense in Carbon Black
Maybelline 'The Falsies' Volum'Express Mascara in Very Black
Face:
Too Faced Primed and Poreless
Revlon Photoready foundation in Natural Beige
MAC select cover-up in NC30
MUFE HD Powder
Cheeks:
Special Reserve highlight Powder in Rose Ole (Cham Pale collection)
Nars Orgasm blush
Lips:
Creemsheen Glass in Fashion Whim
My fave eyeshadow I have to say from my palette is 'Contrast'. I sooo love that it's shimmery, not quite black but provides enough darkness to give me the smokey eye effect without the raccoon look...because no one wants a raccoon look! There is a fine line between a nice smoked out look and just doing raccoon eyes--the 'high fashion' look where they smoke out the entire eye in black! scurry..
I always have fun on a friday night with my hun--whether it's dinner and staying in to watch a movie, or out at the club (which we don't do often! lol). Quality time is fun! loves.

camel and smokey browns on a tuesday...love!
beats:: time of my life (dirty bit) - black eyed peas
OOTD:: pjs =)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my netbook count!?
I can't sleep...anxiety is getting the best of me.
Today was productive and not...I guess depending on what part of the day you're thinking of.
I was somewhat productive getting stuff done at work for the first half of the day, but the latter half was abit of the write-off since my lack of sleep ended up catching up with me...Then it was more of go, go, go when I proceeded to run errands at the mall with the parentals. Very tiring I must say.
One important errand on the list--got my camel pants back! finally! lol I bought it two weeks before christmas and I only brought it in for alterations and got it back a month later! bah.
Procrastination thy name is leen.
Lately I've been experimenting more with my palette and mixing the colors. For years I've been obsessed with the perfect black smoked out look, but ever since I bought my Pro Palette (thanks MAC! lol) I've been more brave in the many reditions of the original black smokey look.
I must say I am lovin' my brown smokey eye look which I noticed that I've been sporting alot more lately. I've recently purchased two more refills for the palette, one of which filled the last spot in my palette.
Eyes:
Soft Ochre paint pot (base/primer)
MAC Pigment in Naked
Romp e/s
Smut e/s
Carbon e/s
Lineur Intense Carbon Black e/l
Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Mascara in Very Black ( I don't wear falsies lashes)
(NYC brow kit for the brows)
Cheeks:
Rose Ole Illuminating powder (cham pale collection)
Nars Orgasm blush
Face:
Revlon Photofinish foundation in Natural Beige
Select Cover-up concealer - NC30
Make-up forever HD Microfinish powder (transluscent)
Then the finale-spraying my limited edition Fix Plus with Lavender from the Cham Pale Collection to set the make-up (and freshen)
I am suuuupeeerr excited for february...and also happy that it's wednesday tomorrow....Happy Hump Day!
I am so ready to get over the first leg of the work week...getting over the hump, as they say!

Lovin't it: Being in the nude
Okay, so it's not exactly what it sounds like..
When I say nude, I actually meant my lips lol. I love the barely there colour of the peachy pink tones for lipgloss or lipstick matched with a smokey eye...It gives off such a dramatic effect...
I've been using Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss in Whisper for awhile now, almost two years I think, but since it's been discontinued i've changed to Mac. Nowadays, I've been using the Mac Lip Glass (though I've forgotten the name of the shade--apologies). It's a fairly similar tone, without the bit of sparkles that I get from the Neutrogena lipgloss. Though I prefer it that way really.
For a bit of tone--my fave blush is Nars in Orgasm. It's a brighter pink blush with flecks of gold that make your cheeks shimmer. When swiped on, it gives this lovely light shad of pink that's not too much and not too light...luvs it.
Though the bright red lips are so in for the moment, I'm somewhat hesitant to follow the trend considering it seems to look just abit off on me...maybe in the care of professionals I may try it sometime =)
