This week has been a bit hectic, as per usual, and there has been a lot going on. Between personal things, increased hours at work and preparing for a business conference in STL next week, I feel kind of isolated and distant from things. I never realized that I had such a fixation with routine until the routine changes. Transitions are sometimes difficult for me but with a little bit of self awareness and a dab of 'whatever' I am sure I will be fine...
One thing that has not changed however, is my MAC cravings. Today, on my lunch break, I went to the MAC counter (after being almost jumped by an Estee Lauder representative - it almost went very bad) and me and the FAB-ulous Renee picked out some beautiful spring colors for me..The first is called Red Brick, the second Winkle, the third is a pigment powder called universal mix and last but not least, Goldenrod (ooooh say it again...goldenrod!!). I also picked up some mascara (Great Lash was just not doing so great for me anymore), my very first blush--in raisin and a very fluffy #129 brush to accompany it.
I used the pigment (In honor of my new pigment powder, I also grabbed a #242 brush. There was no way I was going to try and apply without the proper tools and walk around looking a hot, pigment-y mess! No Ma'am/Sir!!), goldenrod and winkle to accomplish my look this evening and I am very satisfied with the colors. I tend to be drawn to more shimmery shadows but I am beginning to notice that they are not giving me the depth and the intensity that I have been going for. The colors are very pigmented and build-able so that you get just the look you desire without having to settle.
I was a little reluctant about the blush, it is a very pretty reddish brown almost cinnamon like but I have never worn blush before. I bought the brush so that I wouldn't ruin my first experience with blush and I must say that I enjoyed it. It gave my otherwise deep brown cheeks a nice glow and I was quite glad to have a chance to "blush".
Overall I am very happy with my purchases..I don't consider myself a beauty blogger but I like to share my experiences in products so here you have it.
