Favorites for the year of 2010
Concealer: I'm currently using 2 concealers at the moment. Their both MAC however I just find myself liking the consistany I get when I use them both together. Their MAC Studio Finish & Studio Sculpt, i'm in the color NW 35 (which, funny story, is my actual skin color. The concealer matches my skin tone perfect, however I use NC45 in a foundation. Weird right?!? or is it, do you guys have the same thing going on...just a thought).
Powder: Well I don't know I can't function without my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark. I just goes on so smooth and it really does feel like i'm not wearing anything at all. That Mineralize Skinfinish line is a staple in my makeup routine, it's just really light and at some point I just really don't like a lot of makeup on my face (or at least the feel of a lot).
Blush: MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul, I bought it in the spring for a nice flush of color but not to much and just can't seem to keep my hands away from it. It's an DO EVERYTHING blush and a really good inversment.
Bronzer: I'm not a real "bronzer" kind of girl. I mean yes like everyone out there I have my own NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo(I actually got my hands on one when it first came out.....I'm talking to you NAKED palette) but I would say I've used it maybe during the winter months just so I don't look too pale(that's right, some black dolls get pale too).
Highlight: NARS Albatross, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Perfect Topping & MAC powder blush Honour.
Eyeshadow: I have loved and will always love MAC Mulch e/s, it's so my "go to" eyeshadow. But I have also been reaching for the MAC quad Colour 4, its got really great gold and bronze colors and thats pretty much what I like putting on my eyes. I find it really brings out the gold in my eyes. With that said, this would be(if I had it) where I would say that the NAKED palette is also getting a work out. But I was very snooozzing and well now I'm lossing. WHEN are they going to get more in stock...I really need this palette, i mean it came out in the summer for crying out loud....wow, that was not a good color on me. Sorry you dolls had to see that. Back to the list!
Eyeshadow primer/base: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Eyelash curler: Luckly i have naturally curlly lashes.
Mascara: I tried a lot this year but the one that I keep coming back to is Maybelline Great Lash blackest black!
Lipstick: MAC Hue; Dressmaker, Dressmaker; Creme in your Coffee; Girl About Town
Lipgloss: MAC Boy Bait; Richer, Lusher (really good with Dressmaker, Dressmaker & Hue); Get Rich Quick (great for the fall date nights); Do It Up & Funtabulous (both could be possible New Year's Eve dazzleglasses, just don't know yet. Need to find a nice lipstick to work with Funtabulous.)
Nail polish: China Glaze in Shocking Pink (neon) perfect for the summer, Coconut Kiss perfect for the feet in the beginning of fall.
Body lotion/cream: Nivea Smooth Sensation & Essentially Enriched Lotion; Velvet Tuberose Body Lotion; Victoria's Secret Violet & Jasmine Hydrating Body Lotion.
Hand cream: Nivea pocket hand creme; Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy Cream
Lip balm/treatment: Blistex in the blue container that's my bible. I live and die for this stuff, it's my crack. In fact if there was a study that came out saying that crack was found it this stuff I wouldn't be surprised and I wouldn't stop using it....that's our little sercet.
Perfume: I'm back to being a preppy Ralph Lauren Bitty, I'm back in love with my Ralph Lauren Romance, and Style for the winter. I tried to stop being snobby but I just can't do it. I LIVE for that fragence, boyfriend even tried to break the cycle with D&G light blue. While that's great, I still can't seem to break the cycle. And not to get on another rant but it's one thing for us ladies to buy our dudes a fragence but it is quite another for them to do the same. Esp. if its a new fragence, fragences say a lot about a woman.
Toner/lotion: Olay Refreshing Toner
Moisturizer: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
Facial mask:
Exfoliator:

Concealer?
studio sculpt concealer & studio finish concealer both in nw35

What products do you think MAC are missing?
more quads, for like everyday looks, I find myself making my own, I know they can do it.

A little light summer reading
- The Carrie Diaries: I've read everything that Candace Bushnell has put out. I have to say that Sex in the City wasn't anything that I thought it would be but I did have fun reading it. Her must recent release before "T.C.D." was One Fifth Avenue, while it wasn't really what I thought it would be, it was great to read durning the summer of last year. "The Carrie Diaries" are about our Ms. Bradshaw before she had her first designer shoes and her first run in with Mr. Big. This book kind of had me at "Carrie Bradshaw as a teenager".
- L.A. Candy & Sweet Little Lies: These are all books from "The Hills" Lauren Conrad. Our L.C. has left the hills and add author to her very full list of things she's doing. I'm almost done with "L.A. Candy" and I have to say it's not bad. It's pretty much the behind the scene's look at "The Hills". So if your a fan of the show (like I am) go pick up the book. I should be done "Candy" and moving right into "Sweet Little Lies".
- Dead in the Family: Can I just say that I love Charlaine Harris's writing, it just keeps me on the edge of my seat with every page. So far I have read every book of hers and last Tuesday her new "Sookie Stackhouse" book came out. If the name Sookie sounds familiar that's because the show on HBO "True Blood" is based on her series. If you love the show (which I do) you HAVE to read her books. The books are more in depth i think then the show and give you much more background. BTW i'm totally team Bill.

2 birthday faces
So my 26th birthday was 2 weeks ago back on the 12th. I got my makeup done at the Mac store. I was going for Rihanna's "Hard" video. The one when she's rocking the Mickey Mouse ears. I thought it looked so pretty. I also went out with my girls last week and had to do my makeup all by myself :o/. I didn't do anything a good as Rihanna's but i'm learning.

If there was any cars coming we would have been hit. We finally stopped in some grass. But the worse part was that my daddy was driving the car behind us and watched the whole thing. So if we all died, he would have watched the whole thing. Lucky we all we're fine.
20. Do you drink coffee?
Not that often but I do love my Starbucks and Caribou Coffee.

My New Hot Crush
So for awhile I had the biggest crush on Wentworth Miller, I mean it got to the point where I had to ask myself "Are you a teenager girl or are you a 25 year?" Well, since Went (that's what I call him) hasn't been on the tube in a while (since L&O svu) I had to find someone else to love and boy did I.
His name is Jesse Williams and well he is just SMOKING! He looks alot like my BF so that might also be a reason why I like looking at him. I first saw him on "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and he was really good in that. It also helped that the first time we saw him he was a nude model. But I think he has really found his place as Dr. Avery Jackson on Grey's Anatomy. Can I just say that I actually started watching this show again after letting it go around the 3rd or 4th season. His charactor is very bold, brash and full of himself, but everything that he dishes out he can somehow back it up. But yea, then I saw him in Rihanna's new video, Russian Roulette, he doesn't really do much but he doesn't really have to for me. I'm simple like that ;0) but yeah he's cute and he can act....Me Likes!

Sex In The City ♥
So i've been rewatching Sex in the City lately, mainly because I bought them from Target for $14.99 a piece. That show was just about the best show wasn't it?!? Well I was watching the ep. were Burger (who I never liked for Carrie) had broken up with our girl via "POST-IT"! Kindof one of the best ep. I would say. And after that one I just had to watch my all time fav. speech. It happens to be on the first part of the series final, were Carrie is going to last dinner with the girls and finds Big waiting for her. I mean really haven't we all had those speeches that we just really needed to give but didn't....or if your like me....you've given some of those speeches. Well behold the "YOU and I NOTHING" speech!
Big: What? No, no, I came here to tell you something. I made a mistake. You and I.
Carrie: You and I NOTHING!! You can't do this to me again! You can not jerk me around!
Big: Carrie, listen to me. It is different this time.
Carrie: Oh, it's never different! It's six years of never being different! This is it! I am DONE! Don't call me ever again! Forget you know my number! In fact, forget you know my name! And you can drive up this street all you want... because I don't live here any more
