New Foundation Love!

I recently decided to change up my foundation. I have used bare minerals for the past six years and loved it. However, I now work at a photo studio and it made me want more photo-ready makeup. I haven't really taken pictures of myself in years, so I didn't need a heavy foundation. Since for some odd reason pictures are being taken of me randomly and unexpectedly, I need to be prepared!

So, my new love is Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream in medium as a primer base with MAC Matchmaster 3.0 foundation over it. Topped off with the new Careblend Powder in medium (no picture of that..sorry). I am also loving circle lenses! They really do make your eyes bigger!

Here is a picture of me with the new foundation on and circle lenses (GEO angel lenses in the color brown). My eyes definitely look freakishly large, but I like it! hahaha!!

I'm leaving for a business trip to the mainland next week. Every time I leave the island, I feel I need to do my nails. So, I went to one of my favorite "walk-in" salons, L'Amour Nails and had my nails done. They are gel nails, but no artificial tips. I am all into the different colors on nails, but I rather stick to two colors and I only want my ring finger a bold color. My husband figured it out, he said "because that's where the bling is.." Exactly! My "bling" is on my ring fingers, so I'm gonna enhance them!

MAC Riveting Collection

Hi All!

Here are some pics and swatches of MAC's new Riveting Collection. I didn't pick up the whole collection because I'm on a budget and it's kinda wasteful to buy stuff that I won't use personally. Although I did buy two blushes that are totally not my color, but the MA told me that you could use it as eyeshadow..... yep, those are the "magic" words for me....

Anyway, here's some photos (^_^)/

These are the two blushes in the collection...

Full Fuchsia, Dirty Plum

These are the two lipsticks that I got....

I also picked up one nailpolish, which I really like!

Wham, Bam, Glam (Matte)

Now, I really love all the colors. The swatches from the blushes were actually one swipe, so they are pretty pigmented. Even though Riveting is too dark for me, it's pretty sheer, so I like to use it with Bubbles on top. The nail polish is very matte, but on the plus side it dries incredibly fast! I put a top coat on top to give it a nice shine because I don't like matte nailpolishes. The top coat actually made the color come out darker. So, it turned out more like a chocolate brown.
