First MAC Experience

On Saturday Nov 15, I popped my MAC cherry. This is a look using Landscape Green Pigment and Primary Yellow Pigment. I purchased samples from All Beauty!
First, I used Two Faced Shadow Insurance on my whole lid. I used Landscape green all across my crease. After that, Primary Yellow went over the whole lid and blend it all together. As you can see in the photo below, I didn't blend it all out so great. Oh well. Next, an NYC pencil (gosh I don't remember what kind of pencil or the color, but it was a tealish color) to line my lids and on my water line. This baby STAYED. I was pleased.
So, this was the same day that I had my free Estee Lauder makeup done. It was the blockbuster weekend or something, I don't know. Anyway, the woman asked me "what kind of eyeshadow is this?" I told her it was MAC. She nodded, "Yeah, I thought so. There's so much pigment" and, she said that it was sticking really really well. Took her a while to get all the eyeshadow off.


I used some MAC again on Friday and today. On Friday, I used Fuschia and Black pigments alone with a shimmery white L'Oreal Perle color to do a smokey pink eye. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. Today, I used Jardin Aires on my inner half of my lid and Melon on my outer half and blended those together. They blended so so easy. Landscape Green was DIFFICULT to blend!!!! Next was exciting, I decided to use my small pink Taklon Coastal Scents brush that, I think, is marketed as a lip brush, I used it for eyeliner today. I wet the brush with some Visine and used my black shadow from my CS 78-pc palette. OMG! It was amazing! It's so soft, yet it's firm. Not like the one I've been using which is pokey. But this one is densely packed, so, you know, the bristles don't have to be hard to be firm! Wow, I love this brush!!!

Anyway, I've already taken my makeup off. :-( Oh well.

I've been loving my foray into MAC. I really love the pigments. I can't wait until my birthday. I'm going to ask Kevin for some of the Hello Kitty collection (we're doing my birthday late, same time as his, because he is broke, my poor babe. We are poor college students).

And, now, I'm going to bed. GOOD NIGHT!!!!

Time for Early Christmas! Actually, Kevin needs to make sure his Game Cube works w/in the 30 day return limit. And we won't be together for Christmas anyway :-(
Beautiful couple, ready for "Christmas"

Wonder what it is (lol)
Yay! It's a Game Cube (I actually told him to make that face for the picture. Because I'm silly)
Opening the box.

There were two games inside! 007: Agent Under Fire and Metroid Prime
Making sure everything looks okay
Kevvy's can't wait to play his game cube (no, seriously, he hasn't stopped playing Metroid Prime)

Six Randomness

Tagged: Six Randomness

Here are the rules:
  • Link to the person who tagged you.
  • Post the rules on your blog.
  • Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
  • Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
  • Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on his/ her website.


I was "tagged" by Connie @ Skin Deco. That's in quotation marks because I'm not popular enough to get tagged by anyone except my sis. Connie tagged anyone who wants to do this." Aaannnndd.... I do! So, here we go!

  1. I didn't start wearing makeup until the beginning of the summer when I basically dove in head first. I was reading blogs and watching vids and now I have my own beauty blog and my own YouTube channel! My Channel is a bit more successful, I've got quite a few subscribers. If anyone besides my sis reads this blog, let me know! I'd love to know that I have readers! It will keep me on my toes, LOL.
  2. I have no life. Yes, I'm afraid I'm a gamer nut. I've been addicted to Fable II. That's why I haven't been doing a lot on YouTube lately (that and I've been sick). The only reason I'm not playing now is because Kevvy is on the X-Box playing COD:WaW. I was also quite addicted to Oblivion for quite some time.
  3. My favorite type of sushi is fried! Ohhh, how American is that? I know. But I can't help it, with its damned crunchy goodness. I also love Saba Nigiri. Yum yum yum. Kevin and I always get basically the same thing when we go out to Sakura: Franklin Roll, Green Gennie (yea, they spelled it wrong), Dancing Eel Roll, 2 Saba Nigiri. Then, if we're still hungry (probably YES) we'll pick something else out. We have been together for a year and change, and we've only been out to eat somewhere OTHER than sushi ONE TIME! Yeah, we're addicted.
  4. Okay, this one is going to sound really weird.... I hate wearing pants. Yes. Well, I hate wearing pant's that aren't super comfy like PJ pants. When I get off of work/school I go back to my room and take off my pants and get on the computer. Or go to Kevin's, take off my pants and get under the covers and play on my laptop. Yeahh. Well, you asked for random.
  5. I have a twin! That's right! LadyTiffanyAnne is my twin! Check out her blog @ http://tiffanyheuser.blogspot.com I'm putting this in here because people are constantly saying: "Why didn't you tell me you had a twin?" Well, you never told me about your siblings, if you have any, how old they are.... Am I supposed to just introduce myself to everyone saying "Hi! I'm Stargirl. I have a twin." Nope.
  6. I love manga and my favorite manga is Othello. Yes, I know, cheesy and childish, but I really like it. If you have any you love, recommend some to me!
Okay! Now I tag specifically LadyTiffanyAnne and anyone who reads this!

Thanks for reading!

Estee Lauder All Day Lipstick in Twinkle Pink

Really quick note on this lipstick:

Estee Lauder All Day Lipstick in Twinkle Pink

I got it for free when I went to the Blockbuster Makeover Event. I love it!

Awesomeness #1- It EXACTLY matches my hair color! Holy Crap! I love it!
Awesomeness #2- Stays on like heck. I just ate dinner and I can still feel it on my lips. And it's not like I just had something simple. I had pasta, people. And it stayed on.
Awesomeness #3- Even when I can't feel it on anymore, I can still see the lipstick color pretty darn well. Stains my lips a bit. I really like that. I hate having to reapply.


Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to go to Waffle House with some buds.

Personal Commitments

I'm taking this from Lollipop26's blog. A list of commitments for one's personal health and beauty:

  • Keep on top of my eyebrows-- yeah, I know we all do this sometimes. Pluck/trim/shape and then let them go for a few weeks. Oops!
  • Use the makeup I have instead of buying more. Ooooh, I've been really good at this! I've limited myself to nail and brow products. Really, all I want in the brow dept. is some actual brow powder and some stencils. I haven't bought any mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, in a few weeks.
  • Use my Ly-Na pearl paste EVERY night!
  • Weekly manicures! I really want to keep on my nails. I feel like if I keep my nails painted, then I'll pick at them less. My cuticles are a mess right now.
  • Even when I don't wear a full face, wear mascara and lip gloss. Who doesn't want to feel pretty every day.
  • Drink more water and eat less junk! I've actually lost 5 lbs! It's very motivating. I'm trying to eat less pasta and more veggies.
  • No caffeine after 6 pm (unless I don't have to get up the next morning) and at least 7 hours of sleep a night. Ooooh I'm so bad at this. But I know that it's not health to not get sleep. It can even make you break out.
  • STOP FORGETTING MY MEDICINE.
Do you have any commitments you need/want to make?
