Family Heirloom ღ

Hiya! So a couple of nights ago, me & my chicaa Nessa were sharing ideas for room decor on Fb. Haa. She's planning on getting an antique-style vanity for her room! So I was searching for pictures of vanities & other oldy stuff. I kept coming across this turquoise color that was almost always paired with brass or an old gold color. It's so beautiful & wanted to do a look based off it. I named it "Family Heirloom" which my bf loved! lol

• Eyes

MAC Butterfly Party Pigments (Raindrop) • Urban Decay Naked Palette (1)

I vowed I would set this pigment aside for its own post & I delivered! This is Raindrop from the MAC Vera Collection. This color's like a green-turquoise color. It has a definite blue, kind of sheen to it but is clearly more on the green side. Hooray for getting over my green shadow phobia lol! I also love how shimmery the color is. It has a hint of gold undertones, which looks just awesome in the sunlight. I used the Naked palette to lighten, darken, & blend out the look. I used the lightest, matte color in the WnW Greed palette [not pictured] as highlight under the brows.

• Lips

MAC Enchantee Lipcolor

For light pink lips I used this cool pink color. It's really smooth without being goopy or super shiny like a lipgloss.

• Cheeks

Charlotte Ronson 3x a charm

I rarely contour, wear blush, or highlight anymore, much less all at once. But recently, my friend Lori gave me this wonderful little number. [Thank you, Lori!] It comes with a very sheer luminizer, a pretty coral-pink blush, & a bronzer. All three are shimmery, the luminizer more than the other two. They're all powders & because they look so pretty, I've found countouring & blush really easy to incorporate into my daily routine again lol.

• Nails : Antiqued Gold

L.A. Colors Sea Siren • Sally Hansen Antiqued Gold Crackle
I'll be honest! This mani only lasted on my nails long enough to snap pictures lol. I hate this gold crackle nail polish but it's the only gold polish I have & wanted to do something related to the theme. The color underneath is awesome though! I used it by itself in this post.

 A big thank you for reading! I appreciate your love, always. ♥
Have an great weekend, everyone! xOxO

MAC Haul + Ka'oir

Here's a baby haul from earlier this month. I really really really wanted like 99.9% of the Iris Apfel Collection but to make a long story short, I didn't get the email/ By the time I checked the site Flamingo & Pink Pigeon were gone/I called my nearest store & the lying broad told me it was an online collection only & she didn't even know what Pink Pigeon was. So I gave up on it. Like two days later, my girl Jenni gets hers from her MAC store. Imagine my confusion. I'm not going to bash the lady I called too much, because it was a MAC inside a Macy's. So it's probably true that they didn't get that collection but ughhh lol why tell me it's online only?? I could've been calling other stores looking for it. I lost two days of precious Pink Pigeon & Flamingo hunting time. So anyway!! By that time, I was over it! Honestly though, I was just bitter as hell & didn't want anything else from that one. lol We got Beach Sand & A Perfect Day from the Naturally collection & the Blue Brown pigment that they finally put back up! My boyfriend ended up getting me Pink Pigeon from ebay, I think. I told him not to, that I didn't want it. (secretly I did) lol but didn't want him to go out of his way because of some dumb lady. Soooooo glad he did though 'cause it's lovely. lol ily bby ♥

Aa-ya-yaii. Okay so I recently got Trina's Neon Rockstarr from Ka'oir. I saw what I thought was going to be a neon pink matte lipstick! But when I got it, I noticed it has kind of like a frost finish. It doesn't really show up in my picture below but you can kind of tell in this video. It's still a really pretty pink but it looks like the lips are cracking when they move. I'm really trying to love this lipstick 'cause it wasn't cheap but I'm not completely loving it yet. Maybe with some gloss? We shall see.

For comparison purposes I pulled out some lipsticks that I thought would be in the same range as Neon Rockstarr & Pink Pigeon. I didn't really think I had anything similar to either of them. & That certainly was the case for NR. But at the last minute, I remembered Milani's Rose Hip (which is why it's not pictured above lol) So I did a quick swatch of it with Pink Pigeon & even though the finishes are different, the color is pretty darn close! Not exact but kind of close.

I swatched some similar nudes I had to these to compare. A Perfect Day is like a warmer & much better version of Nostalgic. Nostalgic for some reason, doesn't apply very well. It's really nice & creamy but I've noticed now, that it kind of just sits on top of my lips. It doesn't absorb into the skin on your lips very much. (Erm. If that makes any sense) If I smack my lips, a lot of it comes off! Like it's just sitting on top? While, A Perfect Day is.. well.. perfect. I swatched Iconic twice because I wanted to see it next to A Perfect Day.

MAC Blue Brown Pigment. I first knew I had to have this pigment when the Lovely Becca from Nars Cupake was wonderful enough to compare it to the second Definer in the Comfort Zone palette. (which I lovee!) You can see her awesome swatches HERE. She compares this one, MAC's Club, & Label Whore from Too Faced to the WnW one. They're all pretty similar but man, this pigment just jumped out at me lol. I haven't worn it yet but it's so beautiful.

Here's a pic of me wearing the Definer from Comfort Zone. Pretty similar, right? I'll try to make a look, asap with this pigment to see how it looks on the lids. Eeep, this color excites me! lol I've never loved a color so much. I think I have a problem.


Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you enjoyed the swatches ^.<
