Too Faced Cosmetics Family & Friends 20%

I love Too Faced Cosmetics!!!  

If you have never tried this line, I may suggest my ultimate favorite product -

Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer

I used this each time I apply eyeshadow.  This product prevents your eyeshadow from creasing and last a long time (especially from tears); great for even those with sensitive eyes; and light weight on lid.

Other items I like:

• Naked Palette - beautiful colors and can create any look especially a smokey eye

• Lip Primer

• Glitter & Shimmer Glamour Dust 

• Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eye Shadow Primer (GREAT to use with any glitter)

• Primed & Poreless Skin-Smoothing Face Primer

Miss Piggy and the Muppet Family MAC & OPI Collection

As a child, I've always loved Ms. Piggy!!!  She's sweet, loveable yet feisty and don't mess with her man Kermit, lol.

 

In her honor, MAC will be launching a LIMITED small collection ONLINE ONLY on November 14th (North America)!!!

 

The set includes: 

• Eyeshadow - Miss Piggy Pink - mid tone blue pink - frost finish

• Rapid Black Liner (Permanent)

• 36 Lashes (Permanent)

*** I'm not sure about the pearls ***

I can't wait to see the movie in late November, yeah!!  

E News had her on a few weeks ago showing clips of her fashion shoot and it was so adorable!!!  You just have to love her!!!

Kandee Johnson "a friend in my head" (Wendy Williams) and a wonderful makeup artist has swatches on her blog.  Check her out if you haven't already!!!

Good Job MAC!!! Holiday Collection 2011

I have to say Good Job MAC!!!!  

I am so impressed on how MAC stepped it up this year with there Ice Parade Holiday 2011 Kits Collection. 

To begin I LOVE the packaging!!!  It's a silver globe glitter ball that when you shake it you see it sparkle. 

Another cool thing is MAC added mini nail polish to there set - Awesome!  

The eyeshadow combinations is perfect!!!  It can be used on everyday basis including any occasion. 

Ladies/Gents - if you're looking to invest in MAC brushes - THIS IS THE TIME!!!!!  The set of brushes is great!!

This is what I purchased: 

It comes in this cute wintery bag!!  I'm holding on to it to fill up some goodies and give someone a nice holiday present, lol

 

Sparkly Bow...isn't that too cute?!?!!?!

The Box a Set comes in

The SET comes in this pretty silver makeup bag

The compact (the one you shake!)

See the bubble and glitter?

The Set 'Winter Cool' includes the compact, lipstick, lipglass and 3 brushes for $59.99 (price is good)

Swatches: Lipstick on top and Lipglass on bottom

The compact does have a mirror, 3 matte e/s and 1 with shimmer and 1 blush.  

The eyeshadow colors are "warm" so you get a Chocolate dark brown (great on the crease to enhance your look), brown (can be used on lid or crease), Pinky/taupe (good on lid depending on your complexion or over the crease) and last a shimmery champagne/pink (pretty - great for a highlighter or inner lid).  The highlighter eyeshadow looks different on different skin tones so my descriptions are based on mine, which is medium.  When my friend swatch the highlighter e/s, it looked more pink and her skin tone is dark.  I was hesitant about the lipstick and lipgloss since I have so many already I'm trying to stay away from buying any.  However, since I purchased this kit last week, I've been using the lipstick & lipgloss almost everyday - beautiful!  As for the blush, I will describe it as a pinky/mauve, but again all depends on your complexion.  Last, the brushes - you get 3 in this kit (I won't be using.  Instead, I'll give it away as a gift): Powder brush, Angle Brush & Shadow Brush - not bad.

Happy Halloween!!!

If you guessed it, you're right, I went dressed as Ms. Freddy Krueger!!!

I had fun doing this look (not so much removing it!) and it took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  I had to pick up my boys from school and I really wanted to give them a SCARE.  

ITEMS USED TO CREATE BURN FACE:

• Toilet tissue
• Liquid latex
• 3D Gel (Mehron's Inc.)
• Blow Dryer
• Tweezers/Scissors 
• Foundation
• ELF 100 e/s Palette
• Paradise Body Paint (Mehron's Inc)

First, apply the liquid latex to your face.  Be careful applying on sensitive areas like near your eyes. Then apply pieces of tissue at a time; Repeat.  Wait until dry or use a blow dryer on COOL not hot to fasten.  Next, using a tweezer/scissor pull or cut small holes and circles (BE EXTREME CAREFUL NOT TO HURT YOURSELF).  Then go over your face using your foundation.  Now using red & maroon e/s from my ELF 100 e/s palette to color in the holes and a dark brown & light brown to fill around the holes.  This will give it more an effect.  Using Mehron's Paradise Body Paint, I used the "red" to fill in over the red/maroon e/s and on my jaw line and the "brown" to go over the brown e/s and in my hair line.  Last, using Mehron's 3D Gel to fill in all over the "red."  This will make to look more realistic. 

My son Ethan is so funny, he told me "since when Freddy carries a purse?!?...Smart Ass.....LMAO

Now, for my prettier side, lol, I used the following:

FACE

• Revlon Color Stay Foundation
• Eve Pearl HD Powder
• MAC blush 'Blunt' to contour 
• Bitchslap Cosmetics Psychodelic Wheel '8 Ball' on my cheek
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft and Gentle" as my highlighter (my favorite!!!)

B.S.C 8 Ball

LIPS

• MAC Lipliner 'Chestnut'
• MAC lipstick 'Full Body' (my favorite!)
• MAC lipglass 'Lustre White'

EYES

Using my ELF 100 e/s palette, I combined the red/maroon e/s shadow to use on my crease; dark brown e/s on my outer crease; black e/s to create a V on the outer crease and blend and last a bit shimmery yellow/eggshell e/s on my brow bone.  I added a pair of NYX false eyelashes and mascara.  On my lower lashline, I repeated the colors from above..

On the burnt side, just using dark brown and purple and a bit of red all over the eye and under.

ELF 100 e/s palette - maroon (left) and red (right) eyeshadow

Brown/Purple eyeshadow

Don't you just love my Freddy Hello Kitty...she's so cute!!!  I was eying this ALL SUMMER but I thought it was a bit pricy.  Finally, when I returned to work in September this was my first purchase.  I paid $16.00 incl S&H, which I still think it was too pricey but it's so cute.

She-Man

I was TRYING to portray a man, but the wig I bought sucked and the makeup should have been a bit more and darker.  Oh, well, I'll try again...lol.
