Makeup brushes (This post is for the lovely PJ!)

 Honestly, I've never tried MAC brushes and don't care to. However, I do use MAC dupe brushes that are recommended by many people including die hard, obsessed MAC addicts. :-)  I got most of my brushes from online as well as Michael's craft store.

Here are the links to the MAC brush dupes as well as a youtube video that tells you which brushes to get that are considered MAC dupes. You will save so much moolah! Seriously, for the cost of one of the MAC brushes, I was able to purchase ALL of the MAC dupes and some of them in pairs. Someone (can't remember where I saw this) did a recent calculation of how much money you save and it was over $500. Um...yeah. I have been using these brushes for several months and I LURVE them!

These are the brushes I use daily:
Loew-Cornell 1/4" mini mop = MAC 217
Loew-Cornell 1/4 Maxine's mop = MAC 228
Loew-Cornell 3/8 Maxine's mop = MAC 239
Loew-Cornell 1/4" angled brush = MAC 266

I love this guy and he tells you which brushes are dupes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9lPfKzQAXE

This is an online store where you can order them: http://www.hofcraft.com/loew-cornell-brushes.html

Here's another video that shows dupes with MAC brush numbers on the handles. I think that's a good idea. I might number mine too.

If you have any questions or suggestions, lemme know!

Golden Sinister Nightmare

Today I was going for a more fall look using Morgana Minerals eyeshadow. The lighting made these look sort of flat and not as vibrant/shimmery as they really are. Looks much better in person!

Dark Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

So I wanted to create a pink look for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I didn't want to use bright Barbie pink so I used a dark magenta pink glitter instead. An after thought was me putting it on my lips to see what it would look like. So here you go.  :-)
