Here's an FOTD I did, in an attempt to break away from my every day colors (most recently the Tempting Quad, lol) especially my beloved crease/transitional color, Soft Brown e/s. I was on my way to my son's Back to School Night with a sinus infection in full effect and a metro route that's not made for wimps. Sometimes I feel like I need a Red Bull to face some of the public transpo highway traffic of people! (DC folk am I exaggerating? Metro Center, Gallery Place, L'Enfant Plaza during rush hour?) Nice time to try something new. Blech! I wasn't feeling it, but a lot of moms liked it. What do you guys think? (Nevermind the last pic. My face gave in to how I felt.)
FACE- Almay Illuminating liquid
- MAC medium dark blotting powder
- CoverGirl Queen Collection mineral bronzer
CHEEKS
- NARS LoveJoy blush
EYES
- Base-L'Oreal HiP paint in Witty
- Lid- Leisuretime e/s (gah it wouldn't stay as vibrant as it was in the pan *frown*)
- Crease- marble side of Fresh Green Mix mineralized eye shadow duo (such a puke color,lol. Nah, I have to play around with it more)
- Outer v- sparkly black of my Dior Compact in Night Dust
LIPS
- Oh Baby lipglass (still reigns supreme baby! hush all you naysayers!)
My Stash finally. Tine did a post a while back showcasing her collection. I've been meaning to do a post for her ever since. My pics and organization can't touch her's, but still... here it is!
Fourth drawer- mainly polishes and some etceteras lol
Last and deepest drawer- all the etceteras... lashes, and some extra kit supplies
Yes, my economy sized brush cleaner-- had to have this stuff and is supposed to be in the bottom drawer, but I guess it's inconvenient for some people *cough*Toni*cough*
The mini chest just for face powders and some extra brushes outside of the main set
First drawer- I collect MAC MSFs and special casing beauty powders and bronzers
Second drawer- more msfs and beauty powders
Third drawer.. ummm same thing LOL
Well, there it is folks.. most of it that counts. The rest is in between my first mini train case, some soft train cases and 3 baskets. Have you shared your stash yet? Leave a link so we can check it out!
