MAC Product Release: Metal Urge Swatches

2008-11-21T14:50:00.000-08:00

If you were digging on MAC last year, you might have had the misfortune of buying some items from their Metal-X Cream Eyeshadow release like I did. They offered a vivid yet simple and basic array of color, but the results and usability of the product left many MAC fanatics disappointed - yes, me too! Another year later and MAC is pushing it out again with another attempt at stardom. Will they...

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Tyke!

2008-10-22T20:48:00.000-07:00

In Hawai'i, 1st birthday celebrations are HUGE. Folks will spend grands on the event because back in the day, little babies sadly weren't even making it to the "big one". So, if your child made it to their first birthday, it was a very big deal. But in any case, birthdays should always be a big deal, at least for the little ones. Once you turn 21, then uh... it starts to taper in celebrations,...

Baby Tyke's Birthday Around the Corner!

2008-10-17T15:50:00.000-07:00

Baby Tyke's 1st birthday is just around the corner (already?!) and I need to get the favors done this weekend since the party is next Saturday and Hubbo starts work this Monday. Remember his debut not so long ago? Time sure did fly! Well, I didn't want to turn his first birthday into a Halloween party since he really should enjoy the day as his own and not in co-ops with a holiday but I just...

Let's Discuss: Do You Prefer Bright/Bold Makeup, Subtle-Colored Approach, or Au-Spankin' Naturale?

2008-10-16T11:46:00.000-07:00

Boy! Haven't done one of these in a while! So, I was looking through the files I did have saved on my portable USB traveler and thought I had some things I could review. After looking file after file, high and lo, I reached my final "AHA moment" and realized... err, I didn't transfer the pictures. But let's bring it back some. When it comes to makeup, you and what you see on others, which do...

FOTD: Capture the Fall Season with Golden Earthtones

2008-10-10T15:46:00.000-07:00

When it comes to Fall Season, especially as we enter Halloween and Thanksgiving, nothing wears more fitting than some golds and browns. Golds are a great color because they capitalize on glamour-fying the eyes while sophisticatingly opening them up. Toss a little brown in there to create some dimension and you've got yourself an easy yet captivating look that deserves that second glance. I...

FOTD: MAC/CS Daisy Chain | Moonflower | Parrot | Deep Truth and some SILLY pictures!! PICTURE HEAVY!

2008-10-10T10:10:00.000-07:00

Makeup is the best stress reliever! I've been exercising my right to NOT buy makeup (except for kit essentials) and have instead been putting that easily spent cash to some good use. The overall color combination on this came out pretty well for applying it in a dim room setting. My aunt really liked how well the blue/teal mixed with purple. Here are the look details: (all MAC unless otherwise...

Finally! A post with pictures! And not just any pictures... SOME MAKEUP PICTURES! I'm just posting up some looks I did. Sorry they're not all full face shots. After the tykes knock out on the weekends, I just get the urge to get eye fancy and nothing else. I don't remember what I used in each one, but I have been using my 88-Piece Palette (Shimmer) and the 28-Piece Neutral Palette from Coastal...

MakeupFix.net Finally on MySpace?

2008-09-24T10:35:00.000-07:00

I've had a MySpace account set up for MakeupFix for a few months now but just didn't spend much time on sprucing up the place. Needless to say, it's not decorated any more than just a simple page layout, but I guess it'll do for now until I feel a creative whim on the loose. Thanks Pyzam of always bailing me out! Seems like a couple of girls have already found me on MySpace which is cool so if...

Hey y'all! So, let's talk about the blog and the lack thereof lately. I was doing good when I first started work because I had NOTHING to do and had some pictures to do some blogging with. Using my work time effectively - bad, I know. Whoa... who put Meebo there?!? Hah. I've been aiming to edit my pictures at night after the tykes go to sleep so that I can just port them with me with I go to...

Let's Remember Those On This Day

2008-09-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

Seven years ago, we were affected one way or another by a tragic event that will forever be remembered. I get emotional just thinking about the billions of hearts that folded that day as they heard and watched the news and how it hit home for everyone. I remember watching the tv with tears rolling down my face as I watched the same clip over and over again. I had just left New York two days...

Application Review: Using Mixing Medium On Regular Potted Eyeshadows

2008-09-10T10:00:00.000-07:00

Mixing medium is a liquid or gel substance which allows you to transform powder or liquid makeup into an alternate form of coverage. For example, one could dampen their makeup brush with mixing medium and convert color eye pigment (loose powder makeup) into a more liquefied form revealing an even more vibrant version of the pigment itself. This particular technique is coined as "foiling". Doing...

New Loot: My Inner Fashionista Says "Holla At Yo' Skirt"!

2008-09-08T10:00:00.000-07:00

Although shopping for makeup is something that you can see me doing regularly, going shopping for clothes is a leisurely past-time that has been long gone from my life for quite some time. Sure I've picked up a few shirts here and there since the last time I went REAL shopping (let's think "pre-tyke" days!), but never have I had a real need for a new wardrobe since I had been a stay-at-home-mom...

Bay Area Reorientation

2008-08-20T21:12:00.001-07:00

Hey there fellow beauty junkies! My laptop is under repair and since Hubbo is very picky as to what gets installed in his laptop, my entries will need to be photo-less until my partner-in-crime-laptop gets back into working condition. To start this entry off, I've officially been a re-oriented Bay Area Californian now for nearly two weeks! Whoa! But getting here was a whole other story......

It may be a little short notice since my departure date is nearing, but I thought I'd put it out there because I think it would be an amazing opportunity to meet you folks that are just as addicted to...
