MAC Lipstick Palette

I finally purchased a MAC Pro Lipstick palette!
How exciting that I will be able to bring all my lipsticks in one compact case instead of bringing the bullets and opening each one to see the colours. So annoying.

This palette I put together is more for Weddings/Brides.
The colours are more neutral.
I will definitely be getting another palette soon and putting darker and brighter colours in!

The "case" has a clear lid so it's easy to see all the colours
The inserts are sold separately

empty pro palette customize x 12 and "case"

bye bye bullets!

my choices

gotta be sanitary!

I washed the palette with warm soapy water first, let air dry

then sprayed with the rubbing alcohol and wiped with a paper towel

I chopped off the lipsticks and squished it in the well

some people like to melt it first, but it just seemed like too much work ;)
I think this works just fine!

don't forget to scoop out the rest of it, there is a lot down there!

see!! a lot! this is where you get your moneys worth making a lipstick palette

all done! 2 left! remember at MAC you bring back 6 empties and get a free lipstick!

top to bottom, left to right

Blankety, Cherish, Velvet Teddy, Modesty, Brave, Cosmo

Ravishing, Crosswires, Hot Gossip, Chic

I know they all look the same but, they all have different finishes from matte to cream to frost
I will update with my 2 new colours soon!

Estee Lauder / MAC Warehouse Sale!

A friend of mine I work with was able to get me a "golden" ticket to the MAC warehouse sale!
I have been to warehouse sales before but I rarely purchase anything.
This was my first time going to an Estee Lauder and Co. "invite only" and wasn't expecting much except big lineups. But, I quickly realized there was a lot of MAC stuff that I loved or couldn't get anymore! I ended up getting a lot more than I thought and I can't wait to go again!

Here is the stuff I purchased and closeups of what I think will be my favs!

left to right starting at the back
cute bag for $2, MAC bag (great for eyeliners), mac volcanic ash exfoliator, mixing medium, lustre drops, all woman eye shadow quad, eyeshadow in sparkle neely sparkle! estee lauder eyeshadow base, dipdown gel liner, blush in pink swoon, blush in poised, blush in taupe (great contour colour), bronzer in bronze, brush #'s 184, 272, 311

I was so happy when I saw this #184 fan brush! I wanted one for awhile

I didn't know MAC had a angle shading brush, so naturally I got it

I was keeping an eye on this one, perfect for lip or eye lining

cute $4 bag for eyeliners!

great eyeshadow palette, called All Woman and colours I don't have!

thought of my Aunt when I saw this colour, she looks fab in warm browns

this one is called Sparkle Neely, Sparkle!

great for fall

Estee Lauder double wear stay-in-place eyeshadow base

I am always a sucker for eyeshadow base, I hope it holds up!

Mmmm lustre drops! great for a highlighter on tanned or dark skin

already have this Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and love it!! I think I should got a couple more

always wanted to try this, it's a Pro product so only available on Queen St in Toronto or online

now I can play!

Photo Shoot with Local Photographers...

I had an excellent opportunity to work with local photographers Danielle Koren and Gary Collier here in Newmarket back in March.
I was lucky back in December to be a part of an organization called "Help-Portrait" which Danielle organized.
So when she got in contact with me asking to help with makeup again (this time for her personal portfolio) I could not resist!
We met at Gary's studio in Newmarket and we had 3 models with a few changes of clothes. One of them being a wedding gown! So I was able to have some "bridal" shots in there too.

I want to thank Danielle for thinking of me and also introducing me to another local photographer Gary Collier, at Collier Photo. I hope we can work together again soon.
Also, a big thank you to the models...it was a long afternoon, but so much fun!

The photos were for the "Fashion" category...

Here are a few of my favourites from...

3 Spring/Summer Trends and Makeover!

I am so excited to do this post!
A special thanks to Candace May Photography for taking the pictures!

I had an awesome time doing the makeup on my cousin Kate. She is such a fun person and photographs so well! I am sure I will be using her for a model again soon. Thanks for your talent Kate!

I took inspiration from magazines and came up with 3 looks that are going to be trendy this Spring/Summer:

1) "Natural" No Makeup, Makeup look with subtle highlighting.
2) Bright Pink Lip
3) Coloured Eyeliner

So let's get to it!

Kate doesn't usually wear makeup, only for special occasions and even then it's just the basics.

Here is Kate before our makeover...

The first look is the "Natural" (no makeup, makeup look) with a bit of highlighting.

Skin seems to be in this season. Clean, natural and always highlighted.

This is what I came up with...

I used a L'oreal True Match Foundation (W2), MAC neutral brown shadows, cream base in Pearl (MAC), contoured the cheeks with Taupe blush, a little peachy blush, a neutral pink lipstick, and mascara.

work it girl!!

The second look is Bright Pink Lips!! I love this look and I hope this trend sticks around for a long time!

It just brightens up the face and I love that you can do a simple cat eye with it!

I kept the makeup the same and just added MAC Black Trax liner, bright pink lipstick and some pink blush

touch ups!

For the third look I went to Coloured Eyeliner!! I love coloured eyeliner!! I have been wearing it for years...but it just seems to be getting more trendy lately. You can check out my previous blog post on coloured eyeliner.

For this look I just added the MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Designer Purple,

added a bit of bronzer, and neutral lipgloss.

That's all you need for coloured eyeliner, you want the emphasis on the liner.

I think the purple really brings out Kate's green eyes!

gorgeous!

Coloured Eyeliner!

I got a new eyeliner from MAC from the Archie's Girls collection.
This perfect purple eyeliner was part of "Veronicas" makeup.
I loved it so much it inspired me to do a blog on coloured eyeliner!

I love coloured eyeliner, and have been wearing it for years!
It's actually just in the past 5 years that I have been wearing more neutral colours like black and brown.

The Do's of wearing coloured eyeliner...and making it work for day!

The trick to wearing coloured eyeliner and making it the focus, is to keep the rest of the face neutral.

On my face

Garnier BB Cream for combination to oily skin in Light/Medium / Garnier Skin Renew dark circle eye roller / Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in 120 / Maybelline concealer in 20

favourite powder! MAC Studio Careblend in Medium

When wearing coloured eyeliner I like to keep my cheeks neutral by using bronzer as blush and a highlighter on the top of the cheekbones. These work well together!
