It's a MAC MAC World

It’s no secret to all you who know me that I have a makeup obsession. It’s gotten worse lately and I felt compelled to blog about it. Maybe it will help purge the need to keep buying eyeshadows, but I doubt it. Here’s a little summary of what I’ve bought lately:

MAC – 3 eyeshadows to add to my collection (see below): Nehru, Newly Minted, and Magnetic Fields and a cheek color called Frankly Scarlet
Benefit – creaseless cream eyeshadow (towne car) and lipstick (make nice)
MAC and Benefit are my two favs. If I could afford it, I’d have more Lancome, too. Even if they are French.


One of my favorite moments ever was when my friend Amberie came to my house and I showed her my bedroom. When she saw my vanity area she said “So this is where the magic happens!”

I am not kidding you when I tell you my dream job is to be a makeup artist, but I am not good enough for that. I love giving makeovers and if I ever have to take a second job to help pay the mortgage my first stop will be either MAC or Sephora.

Below are pictures of some of my favorite makeup looks lately.

Colors used above:
Flammable(MAC paints)
Mulch (MAC shadow)
Benefit's High Brow

Colors used above: Fashion Show (Lancome)

I'm so glad you're back up and running! When we were in the single's ward I always would look for you to see how you did your eyeshadow. I was always amazed. It was fun getting a makeover from you at my mom's house a few months ago. Sorry I kept laughing and smearing all the eye makeup off. Good times.

You had me scared for a second when I saw that last photo! Carolyn, don't say you're not good enough, you could totally be a make up artist- you can practice on me since I can't do real makeup without looking like a clown. I'm glad you're on blogspot so we can comment now.

Care, you need help. You really and truly do. I don't think they have AA for makeup-a-holics, though. (O:

Don't expect an old man to say much on make-up. All I know is it is the one thing men don't mind they are being 'fooled' over. Very few women can get by without it and most men like to see it even though they know what is really underneath. Take a man's word for it.

Oh, HECK I forgot to congratulate you on coming back to our favorite blog spot.

I LOVE your eyes. You really need to teach me how to do my make-up better. I particularly like picture #3.
