FOTD: Heart of the Sea

Hello beauties,


I recalled watching a movie this week and it had a drink in it which had various colors and the bartender called it "Heart of the Sea". I love the colors of the beverage that I had to incorporate it in this makeup look and of course I used the ELF Glitter Eye palette.

R.I.P. To an Icon: Whitney Houston

I am lost for words, still can't penetrate the thought that another Icon has departed from us. It's a sad and devastating moment. I don't know her personally but through her music and movies, I have grown to love and adore this woman art of singing and her beauty is beyond words. I grew up on her music and till this day I can remember when I was younger and eager to see her movie "The Bodyguard" in theater and crying my eyes out and still today watching that movie I do cry like no other.
Rest In Peace beautiful lady and I pray that your daughter will find the strength to recover from this pain of your loss. As a parent I can't imagine what she is going through but I will keep her in my prayers as I do my very own.

Rest in Peace Whitney Houston

MAC Cosmetics MAC Shop, MAC Cook Collection

Hello Beauties,


As promised I introduce to you a more detailed view of the some the goodies from MAC Shop, MAC Cook Collection,

First and foremost this collection is apart of the 2012 Spring Collection from MAC Cosmetics. I really love the colors in this collection and the theme is very creative and so Step-ford Housewife.

Let's talk about the collection a little; personally if you know me I don't do nudes so Innocence, Beware didn't even make it into my swatch line up. Blahhhh !!! As for Dish It Up lipstick it sort of reminded me of MAC Up the Amp but a tint bit sheer.

The eyeshadow quads were interesting to see, but I wish some colors in the quad weren't apart of it so hence some quad had hit and misses. Call Me Bubbles quad e/s in Brash & Fresh Daily were pretty. Colour Added quad colors in Pre- packaged was a nice shade blue but dupeable. Shop & Drop quad colors in Hypnotizing & Power Boosted were very nice colors, Hypnotizing was my favorite color from the eyeshadows, if it were a single I would come home with me.

The Creme blend blushes were nice in color, two of the blushes were re-promotes and I had wanted them from losing my chance back in the day to get them. The newest color introduced creme-blend blush was ok but I own too many blushes so I passed.

All the other items from the collection I didn't even care to swatch. Why? Didn't intrigue me.

Lipsticks

L-R: Runway Red, Naughty Saute, Quick Sizzle, Watch Me Simmer
