tricky thursday.

I named this title "tricky thursday" because my make-up was TRICKY today... I am still not happy with the outcome, buttt I had no time to re-wash my fax, and fix it... so today was kinda my practice day with my new stuff..
**My eye liner that I normally use is just the black liquid eye liner  by MAC and it gets all over my eye lids literally within hours... even ONE hour.. it is everywhere... I have tried different primers, etc... pencil eye liner and it still gets everywhere.. after asking around, I decided to try the MAC PaintPot eye liner... it arrived yesterday!!!  I was so excited and ripped the box open only to find this stuff is HARD TO PUT ON!!! my goodnesssss I need to practice more with this, and make order a smaller brush!!!! I ordered the 219 MAC brush for the eyeliner.** Another new thing that I got was the way awesome eye shadow that is WET... from MAC, of course.. called "impeccably rich" I actually won this from the make-up monster!! check her out on FB... & i am clueless how to use it..
I took some pictures of what I used on my face this morning...

I forgot I got this new blush brush as well!! the 129S... the S stands for short, which I think is totally rad to fit in my purse!! SCORE!!!

This Strobe Cream is the bomb... it makes my skin look more fresh, and I feel it works as a primer as well, it gives your skin a BOOST, and enhances your skin in all type of lights... I always apply this before my make-up.. If I am in a hurry and don't have time to put powder or foundation on, I make sure I put this on, then a little blush!! MAGIC.... it lasts a long time too, as you can tell my lil baby has been through alot... hence the teeth marks on the top left corner..

This is the new liner I talked about above, along with the new brush I got to apply it.. This was very difficult for me, I for sure will pracitce more, and maybe watch some videos on "how to"... I feel like I couldn't apply it thin enough, and it was messy for me.... I will do another update after I have gotten to play with it some more..& the true test will be to see if it gets up on my lid :)

This is the new MAC prep & prime..in the "light boost" i mainly wanted something to go under my eyes, to cover up dark circles/coloring, PLUS to give me a LIGHT BOOST... just like the name!! I really like this, I am not sure if I LOVE it yet... or if I need to try different primers with it as well.. but it does work..However, I feel like I need MORE of something to cover up the darkness under my eyes.
This isnt technically for the darkness under eyes, it does what it says it is supposed to do, to highlight the skin, give it a radiance boost, shear (whatever word you would rather use ) I will keep this :)

THIS... this right here, I LOVE!!! I got this just recently when we went back to CA In March for the WEDDING.... I got my make-up done at the MAC Counter for my bachelorette party and the chick used this, it is amazing... It is so shear and lightweight, and seriously gives it a touch that looks FAKE... haha I used this on my friend when we went out for another friends birthday, and she fell in love with the way it looked... This is sooo handy for summer, it doesnt look  caked on and gives off the PERFECT glow!!!

I apply the above powder with this... this brush is also a must.. the MAC182.. I love how big this is, it makes putting the powder on so much easier/faster and gets the job done!

This is the wet shadow I won from the make up monster... that I had alot of troubles with.. I applied my primer before, which is the MAC "hush" maybe I need to invest in a new one? Any suggestions out there? Also I feel like this DID look like it was caked on, and looked as if it was shadow glue, does that make sense? It didn't go on even or smooth?..hmmmm what to do, what to do?


 So here is a before picture;
I am a little scared to post this, make -up free.. NO editing..
but I want you all to see the before, and after.

sorry if you just fell down, from me being so scary. .

ewww I forgot to put lip stick on.. hahaha ohh well :)
here is an up close pic of the shadow and liner.. after looking in the mirror, i noticed my liner already looks worn off?


Enough about that.. Let's talk about the OFTD : )
Today I am going to work, then I am headed to durango for a dr appointment, then some lunch & shopping with my mamma!! FUN!!! So I dressed comfy!!
