Sorry for not posting today, I had to write a paper and I was pretty involved in the Ashton vs. CNN Twitter race. But I shan't leave you empty handed!

This weekend (April 17-19), use the code WEEKEND5 to get free shipping on any purchase from Bobbi Brown. The code can only be used once, so make sure you're done before you check out.

Happy shipping!

I did a look with some darker teals and blues today. Please ignore the fact that I look slightly, uh, constipated. I'm really tired today and my eyelids keep twitching - every time I'd try to hold my face still, they'd go wild, so I just gave up. Also, I could not get a decent closed-eye shot because my camera lacks a macro function (as my always blurry pictures prove). Sigh.





Used:
Face
-Studio Finish concealer (under my eyes)
-Select SPF 15 foundation
-Petalpoint blush

Eyes
-Bare Study paint pot and Lemon Chiffon shadestick for base
-Sky Blue PRO e/s in inner corner
-Zonk Bleu! e/s on lid
-Plumage e/s in crease and as lower liner

-Crystal Avalanche e/s on browbone to highlight
-Pro Lash mascara in Coal Black

Lips
-Strange Hybrid l/s
-CoverGirl WetSlicks gloss in Tutu

I got a package today! Most of you are aware of the Friends and Family deal Urban Decay was running, I'm sure. Well, I ordered some stuff and it's here! So I bring swatches of goodies.




L-R: Rockstar, Graffiti and Electric 24/7 Eye Pencils, Sellout lipstick

Supposedly these pencils are the holy grail of eyeliners, so I figured I'd give them a shot. I haven't tried them out yet, but I actually had to bust out a makeup remover wipe to get the swatches off my hand because a wet paper towel wasn't cutting it. I think that counts for something.

Because I spent however much money, I got a sample of Sellout lipstick. It looks fairly dark in the tube, but you can see that it's quite sheer when applied. It smells pretty good, too.

I'll let you know how the eyeliners hold up on my smudgey eyes a.s.a.p!

I haven't had a chance to run to the MAC counter and test out the new Prep + Prime products, but I thought I'd review the permanent products for you.

If I get chance to check out the rest of the collection, I'll definitely add them in.

For now, reviews and a couple of pictures below the cut.

I'm slowly but surely organizing this whole thing and trying to get back on the wagon when it comes to regular blogging. We should be good to go soon enough!

Hey guys! I decided that I seriously hated Wordpress with a fiery passion and, thus, have moved on to Nucleus, which I totally love so far. It takes a bit longer to get the hang of, but I'm plugging along okay, if I do say so myself.

Aaanyways, I've got a couple of posts in the works at the moment. If you want to read the stuff on the old blog, click here.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and I'll see you all soon!
