Daphne Guinnes Collection with MAC Cosmetics

Finally posting this. Again, I'm sorry it took me so long guys!! So first I'll give you some information about Daphne Guinness and her Limited Edition collection.

  Daphne Guinness was born on November 9, 1967, so she is 44, just thought you should know to get a better image that she is experienced in life and isn't a sparkling 20-something-year-old. Don't get me wrong, I'm really not saying that it's a bad thing! She seems like she has the energy of a 20-something though and she has some great talent too! Her skin is quite youthful though. I only hope that my skin looks that good when I reach that age, which will be quite a while, ha ha. Daphne is an heiress of the Guinness beer empire and was named the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1994. She has 3 children aged at 22, 20, and 16. She designed a range of clothing with Dover Street Market. Daphne is prominent in the fashion society as both a journalist and collector of couture. She is also an artist. She based this collection off of her art and said that this collection is "a window into her imagination." And oh man, I am fascinated by this window. I would buy 3 of 4 of the Cremesheen Glasses if they weren't sticky.

                          
 As you can see, she can look very classy, but also veryyyy bold. Ha. So most people were expecting bold and unwearable colors (for most), but she surprised a lot of people with a deep color basis in every item. :)

 From this collection I purchased the Interior Life quad, Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Warp Speed, and the Blush Ombre in Azalea Blossom.
                                        
The Interior Life quad is half and half pigmented and not. It costs $38 as all of their quads do. The top row is fairly difficult to get a true color, where the bottom row is very concentrated. What I mean by pigmented and concentrated, is that you don't need much on your brush to get color.
On the quad it goes from left to right and same on the bottom, then on my hand it is top to bottom: Stratus (Matte), Bruised Sky (Veluxe Pearl), Interior Life (Satin), and Heather Belles (Satin). The colors are darkest on the left of my hand (I applied more there, not just one sweep) and blend out further to the right. Stratus is the hardest one to make color apparent on me, it would probably show up better on someone with darker skin than mine. I had to circle where I put it in red so you didn't think that I forgot to swatch it. Ha ha. For me and my skin shade (at MAC NW15) I can use Stratus as a highlight (under my brow and on my inner corner). Just be sure and go easy with the bottom two, Interior Life and Heather Belles. Just two small sweeps is enough for color. :) I do like the look it gives, it's like a stormy sky, but is quite elegant and calming at the same time, definitely a smoky look. This will be my almost daily choice of eyeshadow this winter. :)
 The Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Warp Speed is a light silvery color and somewhat white, it has pink shimmer  in it too. :) I spent $17 on it. 
 It depends on how much you apply as to how white-silver the color is on your lips. I applied a fairly light amount to my lips, but just enough to get color in the picture. Then, in the swatch, it is darker on the right side of my hand and fades more to the left. I love it, it makes my teeth look whiter which is great because there's something on my braces called a chain that stains and makes my teeth look yellow even though it's only the chain.

I finally exchanged the wrong Blush Ombre for the correct one (Azalea Blossom)!! :) I put it on about an hour ago and it feels so light on my face, I don't even notice it's there, which is how all blushes should feel!! I love it!! In the packaging, the blush goes from a light pink at the top and blends into a lavender color at the bottom. It costs $26 and is most definitely worth every single dollar!! In the package you can see the shimmer really well and the fantastic shades they chose to use.
                                              
On my hand from top to bottom is the pink, then the middle where the two colors meet, and at the bottom is the plain purple. Azalea Blossom has shimmer in it, but when applied, it is really light and slightly noticable when you move your face in the light, so it really flatters your face and draws attention. You could use the blush multiple ways: just the pink, just the purple, the very middle where they blend together, or swirl your brush all through the blush (in circular motions). Personally, I like to swirl it. When used, it gives just a hint of color and is just very nice and adds a touch of elegance. I'm sooo happy that I purchased this and it is well worth it!! However; if you are picky, I suggest going to your local MAC Cosmetics store and trying it out and seeing how you like it.

How to approach a cosmetic counter employee - Try not to be afraid to ask an employee there to assist you with application of a blush and which ones they recommend and give you some tips about how to apply it! About 95% of their employees are more than willing to assist you and be nice about it. I have only had a few snooty experiences, but those kinds of people are in every business. If you find a snooty employee, just say "Nevermind.", put the blush down, and leave. The majority of the time, they don't want to lose a sale so they will then suck up to you, if not, just go back later; or you have the option of saying "Nevermind.", walking away with the blush sample in your hands and ask another employee who appears to have a better attitude. Keep your head held high and don't get an attitude with them, chances are if you do that or talk bad about an employee to another, they will tell them and/or give you bad service because they will assume that you're a gossip or someone that is just rude. Use your manners with the employees, remember, they're people too, they aren't robots with no feelings, and if they get a customer with major attitude, they're obviously going to want to get rid of you as soon as they can. If I were in their shoes, I may even go as far as to say something like "I don't appreciate you speaking to me that way, so let's both act like professionals and adults here. We both want something, so please treat me with the same respect and assistance that you want from me." Again, try to treat them how you want them to treat you, if you respect them, chances are, they'll reflect the same respect back to you. :)
         I hope that all of this helps!!

Loving the new collection, Annie

Up First, an After Christmas Mini Haul

So, I went to the mall yesterday (December 29) and the day before (December 28) and I figured I'd show you guys what I purchased. :)

 The 28th I pretty much only purchased from MAC Cosmetics. I bought the Interior Life quad from their collaboration with Daphne Guinness, and the Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Warp Speed.
The quad costs $38, as all of their quads do.              And the Lipcreme costs $17.
   Then the 29th, I went to MAC Cosmetics again, Sephora, and The Body Shop. Unfortunately, the lady at MAC gave me the wrong blush, so I have no review for the Daphne Guinness Blush Ombre. I asked for it in Azalea Blossom and handed her the store sample and she still gave me Vintage Grape. You'd think I would have learned by now to check what the give me because this is probably the tenth time this has happened at this exact store.

      At Sephora I purchased Jingle G from Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers collection. It was on sale from the original price of $25, down to $11!! The unfortunate thing is that there is only 10ml (0.33 fl. oz.) in the bottle, but I know it will take me foreverrr to use because I have so many others and don't need another full-sized perfume, ha ha. 
                                                   
Anywhoo, it smells soooo gooddd. I really like it!! It mostly smells like vanilla with hints of flowers and a slight musk, I know musk sounds gross or manly, but it really isn't, at least not in this perfume, it just adds some depth to the scent. :) I really don't have too much to say about it other than how wonderful it smells! Ha ha. In the picture it looks like there's white on her lips, but it's just shine from the flash of my camera. Her lips and belt are a metallic color, the belt is gold and her lips are a deep red.

And then with my online order, I purchased a Korres lipgloss set of four for just $28!! All of these in this set are full-sized too! They charge $17 for one, so I had to jump on this cuz I had heard nothing but good things about this brand. They all smell like cherries, and not that artificial cherry smell, it smells like real cherries. Which is a big thing for me, I hate when they market something as a certain scent and it just smells sooo fake. But these really don't and I love them for that, they have a slightly tacky feel to them, but it's not too bad. I wouldn't pay $17 for one, but I would pay $28 for a set of four. :) The names go from left to right in the box and top to bottom on my hand. Natural Purple, which is more of a brown color, not really purple; Rose, which is a light rosy color; Fuchsia, a more red-pink color; and Light Purple, the lightest of all of them and fairly sheer, but very pretty. The last three colors have to be my favorite and so far I can't decide which one I like best. :)
  
 Then at The Body Shop, I bought 3 things. I mainly went in there because I wanted another body butter. Those are FANTASTIC!! And it really doesn't matter if you buy it in the large or small container. The small is about $6 and the large (which I bought when I went in) is $18. I went for the large one because I already tried their body butters in Satsuma (orange) and Mango. Personally, I like the mango better. Mostly because it is a more subtle scent and I can hardly smell it (if at all) in the morning. While the satsuma one is a very strong orange scent. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but not when I'm going out. The body butters are great for after you shave, both on your legs and under your arms...well it does say body butter. Ha ha. Yesterday, I purchased the Almond scent. It smells hea-ven-ly!!
                        

I decided that because my hands have been really dry for about a week (mainly because of winter weather and washing my hands a lot) that I would put some of the body butter in a squeeze tube both for ease of access and because I don't like sticking my fingers in a big tub unless I'm going to then go and wash my hands (it tends to get under my nails). I know it sounds odd, but it's me ha ha.

 I also purchased a shower gel in Passion Fruit, $8 for 250ml (8.4 fl. oz.). To me, it's just another shower gel. I really do enjoy the scent though.
Uhhh, all I have to say really is that it smells pretty good! Ha. I mean, it cleans and you feel clean after using it slight lingering scent, but not enough to interfere with a perfume that you use after if you shower in the morning.

  And lastly, a Home Fragrance Oil in Vanilla & Tonka Bean. There is 10ml (0.3 fl. oz.) in the bottle, which is quite a bit considering you only need about 2 or 3 in a scentbug, but it should last for quite a while then. :) The Home Fragrance Oils from them costs $7.50. Basically what you do with a home fragrance oil is you can put some oil in an oil burner or a Scentbug from Bath & Body Works, but they currently aren't selling them, I think it's only sold in the summer, this is what I use. A scentbug is something that uses a little fan to disperse the scent through your room.
I reallyyy like the way it smells. If you couldn't tell, I like the way vanilla smells, ha ha. For whatever reason this scent makes me feel really relaxed, like a day at the spa or a soothing bubble bath, ha ha.
    So that is everything that I got this week from my mall trips. I'm going to post reviews on the pieces I have from the MAC and Daphne Guinness collaboration TONIGHT!! I promise you guys, I feel so bad for not posting it sooner!! And please leave your comment about what you think of this post! :)
Happy scenting, Annie

Beginner's Guide, make-up basics

 Above is everything I will discuss in this post. There's also a few little bonus items and tips thrown in. :)
     Importance of Moisturizing!! - Before applying anything to your face, you should always use a moisturizer!! Even if you're not going to be wearing make-up that day. If your face is oily, be sure to use an oil-free moisturizer as to not add excess oil through the day. Use one that is meant to be used on your face, not your body because the skin on your face is different than the skin on the rest of your body. Body moisturizers just hydrate. Facial moisturizers can be meant for the acne prone, preventing wrinkles and fine lines, or concealing and repairing wrinkles and fine lines. Moisturizers keep your face from drying out during the day, actually help to keep the make-up on your face, and if it says so, can help protect your face from sun damage.  I currently use Cetaphil facial moisturizer, but I do not recommend it because it makes my face feel heavy and caked on and it takes forever to soak in (dry). I will be getting a new one for Christmas that smells absolutely divine, works like it should, and doesn't take forever to dry. The new one is from the Sephora Collection and is called Instant Moisturizer, and believe me, it is so true to its name. I am in love with it. This moisturizer is $20, and sooo worth it!! Personally, one tube lasts about 6 months which is a long time considering how much I use to conceal my super dark circles. Ha ha.
After you apply the moisturizer of your choice, use a concealer. A concealer covers up your imperfections (blemishes, dark circles, any redness or blotchiness) and makes your skin look almost flawless. It is my lifesaver because every week night I get about 6-7 hours of sleep, so because of my lack of sleep, I get massive dark circles. This concealer saves my life. I apply 2 pea-sized dots of MAC's Select Moisturecover in NW15 (because I am superrrr pale with a peachy cream complexion) under my eyes and blend it in with my ring finger (which is what you should use for blending, it is the most gentile finger). This particular one costs $17, worth every penny. I also use this to hide blemishes, and since winter is here, I have been getting quite a few lately, but my skin will get used to the coldness as soon as the temperature stops drastically changing. Concealer and foundation should be set with a powder. I use MAC's Studio Fix pressed powder to do so.
                                                     
Up next is your foundation. This step is totally optional, you can just skip this step and go right on to powder if you're pressed for time or just don't need it. The one pictured is MAC's Face And Body Foundation. This one is superrr expensive at $32.50, but I own it because I was super outdoorsy this past summer and my face was so blotchy and red this past summer. I have this in C1, for whatever reason these have different color names, but this is the palest you can get, ha ha.  Foundation helps if you have acne or a face that tends to get really red. It is a great alternative to powder when it's melting temperature outside, ha ha. This one is great because it's water resistant (note that I did say water resistant, not waterproof). So it won't drip off your face or melt outside with sweat or rain, but I have no idea what would happen if you went in the pool, I'm pretty sure it would drip off then, ha. However, this particular one is pretty sheer, but is buildable so you can make it more covering. I don't use this very often, but instead use an asian BB Cream. It works wonders, it helps clear blemishes faster and works as a foundation (one that's not sheer). This should be set with any kind of powder (loose/pressed).
     Set your make-up!!! - When I say "set" I mean like "lock in". Setting your make-up is like...paint on cracked glass, it will slip and slide across the glass (concealer/foundation on your face) and will seep into the creases throughout the day, which is never a good thing. Putting a powder over the concealer/foundation makes sure that it won't slip and slide and crease throughout the day, and it becomes very obvious that you have make-up on if it's creasing and sliding. So I recommend using a powder of some sort to set anything wet (other than moisturizer) that you put on your face.
Now for the powder. I use MAC's Studio Fix pressed powder, I know it as this, but they may have changed the name because I can't find it on their website, but it is for sure available in the stores, the lid and label on the bottom both just read Studio Fix. I know it's in the $20 range, but I'm not sure of the exact cost becuase it has been a while since I have needed to purchase one, they last a long time. I tend to use pressed powder rather than a loose powder because I find that pressed powder is much easier to control in the container, on the make-up table, and on your face. The powder also helps to conceal any redness, blotchiness, and blemishes. I also use it to set my foundation and my concealer. And again, because of my paleness, I use this in NW15. I loveeee this one! I get sooo many compliments whenever I use it about how flawless and doll-like my skin is. I actually had a hugee blemish in the middle of my cheek during the summer and went in a doctor's office and the lady behind the desk couldn't stop talking about how flawless my face looked, she continued by saying that my skin reminded her of a "southern belle" because it looked perfect. I was and still am completely flattered by her compliments and I owe it all to this wonderful baby. :)
 For those eyebrows, here is some MAC Brow Set. It is of course clear and comes in four different shades: Girl Boy (the lightest brown), Beguile (a medium brown), Show-off (the darkest brown), and my clear one. It clocks in at $15, but lasts for a longggg time. I've had the same one for 6 months and it's only halfway gone (the one pictured is a newer one). They get to be a kind of dingy color from other facial make-up but it does not change the quality of the product.  And you should of course match your color choice to your natural brow color, or at least close to it so that it looks natural. And you can fill your eyebrows in with a pencil, but because mine are fairly thick, I don't because they would be rediculous and bushy, haha! But I find that it definitely helps when my brows decide to stick out or just won't chill out and look normal, ha.
      Curl Your Lashes Already!! - Obviously, it's not necessary to go and curl your eyelashes, I just prefer to curl mine. The purpose of an eyelash curler is to curl your lashes, obviously, and to make sure they're not sticking straight out like little twigs, curling them makes your lashes stand out and look like you actually have them and it also helps make volume and length apparent. I find that it helps to look in my make-up mirror, on the zoomed side with its light on, and stare at my lashes. I can't help you curl your lashes, it's mainly instinct and practice. You do get used to it fairly quickly, after a few times of pinching your eyelid, you learn pretty quickly, ha, and when you get better at it all, you don't pinch your lids anymore! Always curl your lashes before applying mascara. You curl before because if you curl after you apply mascara, it pulls the mascara off of your eyelashes, which, obviously, wouldn't look right. Ha, remember, curl before, not after. :)
Up now is the dreaded eyelash curler and mascara. It actually isn't dreaded at all when you get used to a foreign object being right up against your lashes. My lashes are pretty long already, but they rediculous when they're not curled, so I curl mine. I recommend getting one from Forever21 for when you first start out, mainly because the ones from walgreens or wherever can be super crappy and not last long at all. Forever21's aren't great, but they definitely do the job and they do it well. I use a MAC Full Lash Curler ($16) and the curling cushions on the MAC curlers last a longgg time, the one on there now has lasted me about a year and a half and is hardly creased and they curl my lashes greatly!
  -For a MAC brand mascara, (the solid black tube pictured above) False Lashes in False Black is by far the best one I have ever had from anywhere. The cost of this one is $19 It gives  my lashes wonderful volume (texture), and great length. This mascara is not meant for false lashes at all, it is so named because it gives your eyelashes the appearance of having false lashes on.  It is so great. I haven't had any flaking throughout the day like I get with a lot of mascaras and it makes me so mad when I get one that does. So it is just all around amazing. :D
  -A second option is MAC's Haute & Naughty Lash (the one with the pink and purple caps pictured above) and there are no color options in this one, it just comes in black, which is totally fine with me. This costs $19 also. The pink cap is for a more natural yet somewhat defined lash look. The brush system is so neat. There is only one brush in the whole tube. When you unscrew the pink cap and pull it out, it pulls the mascara wand out through a thinner tube that's attached to the caps and it wipes off excess mascara so there is less on the wand, making for a more natural looking application. The purple speckled cap is for a more defined and lengthened lash giving more of an impression and it's just the wand itself, nothing too fancy, but it is fancy when applied to your lashes. :)
Now, the one I have been using for quite a while is not a MAC mascara, the brand is Fairydrops in Scandal Queen Mascara and it was invented by a japanese woman and is waterproof and sweat proof. However, I find that it flakes a bit during the day. It does provide fantastic volume and length though so I just grin & bear it. :) I don't have too much to say about it other than I love it and currently use it every day. It does cost quite a bit more at $24, but it is worth it. I just bit my tongue and purchased it because I had heard nothing but positive things about this and they were completely sold out of the Tarina Tarantino mascara which I believe is no longer being produced and sold. So I "settled" for this one, but to my surprise, it's actually pretty great. :)
 Eye Primer - Before applying eyeshadow or eyeliner, you want to be sure and use a primer. Primers help your eyeshadows and eye liners stay where you put them on your eyes. Primers are like using glue before you dump glitter on your paper, without the glue, only a few pieces of glitter stick, but it's going to fall off at some point. If you don't use a primer, your eyeshadow will stick, but it will come off and crease through the day, if not within a few hours. Primers are probably one of the greatest inventions ever. No creasing, no disappearing eyeshadow, no super smeared eye liner, just wonderful make-up that looks like you just applied it. Primers also help intensify light and dark, and really all colors. The Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (the one that comes in the purple container) evens out your skintone sooo well. I am super pale, as I have stated, and I have friends that are super tan, I can use it on them and myself (the same amount) and it blends into our skintones perfectly, as if it was made in our tone. I love it, so please don't think that just because I'm really light, and you may be tan or whatever then you can't use that primer, you honestly can. Just be sure and go to a store like Sephora and test it out on your hand to make sure that it does match your skin tone and looks right, or you could get another one by them with shimmer in it.
Unfortunately, I don't like any of MAC's eyeshadow primers, their paint pots are pretty and neat though. They come in at $17.50 each. They work a lot like a primer, but I personally can't use them as a primer, I just have to use a primer underneath, which is really no big deal, (I prefer Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion). But for quick cuteness and shimmer if I dont have time to fuss over eyeshadow, I use the pictured paint pot called Let Me Pop, which was a limited edition color. It looks like a bronzy-gold in the pot and before you blend it. I just use my finger and plop it right into the pot and not much of the product is needed to get color, I use just a little bit to get a golden shimmer across my eyes. There are of course new limited edition colors with each collection and then there are permanent colors to MAC. So a guy named Kyle who worked at MAC in a local mall sold me on this one. At first I was like 'I don't think I like it" then I gave it a minute and was like 'I'LL TAKE IT!!' hahah. And I trust his opinion completely because he did my sophomore homecoming make-up and did exactly what I was hoping for and more, I was sooooo pleased. Unfortunately for me, he was moved to another store, but on the plus side, he was promoted!! Yay!! Cuz he absolutely deserves every promotion possible. And I aslo have him to thank for introducing me to the band Metric, they're still my favorite. :)
Here is what Let Me Pop looks like swatched. The top is not blended, just kind of thrown on, the bottom is the shimmer and color that I get from blending it with my finger. I love it so much and I find myself using it more and more often. Let Me Pop is from their Cham-Pale collection, which was released around December 26th, 2010, so not quite a year ago. So if you want it, the only way you'd be able to get it now and in the future is through ebay or just the internet, unless they decide to bring this one back, which will more than likely never happen, ha.
 Eye Liner - The use of an eye liner tends to "open" up your eyes (meaning you look more awake), and can totally transform your look from, say innocent to sexy in just one simple step. Your waterline is somewhat above the roots of your lower eyelashes, and on the top lashes it is below your roots, on both the lower and bottom lids, the waterline is the pink part right next to your eyeball. Your lashline is where your eyelash roots are. When you line your upper lashline (not your tightline) you can wing it out slightly at the end, which gives a more playful and cute look. Tightlining your lower eyelid brings out your eye color, no matter what color it is, even brown, and adds depth. Tightlining on the upper eyelid, makes your lashes look more naturally thicker; however I have never been able to do so, my lashes are too close together so I get spots that don't have eye liner there and I just can't pull my lid back to tightline. This goes for top and bottom eyeliner: try not to apply your liner too thick and heavy, doing so tends to make girls and women look trashy, and don't think that's a good thing at all, cuz it's not, ha. Try to keep in mind that liquid eye liner, pencil eyeliner, and gel eye liners all give different kinds of looks and different textures and will apply differently. Test them out on a day where you're not going anywhere and see how each look. If you want to know how to tightline, there are plenty of videos on that subject so you can see how to do it and if it's for you. I tightline my lower lashes, but not super often, when I do, my eyes still water. My eyes water whenever I get my mascara or liner done by anyone other than myself. I will refer to lining my eyes and please not that this is not tightlining, it is just lining my lashes.
And on to eyeliners!! The one to the left is  just a MAC Eye Kohl named Smolder and is a plain and pure black.Each pencil liner is $15, but the liquids and fluidlines have a different price from this.I feel that black eye liner is a must have for everyone. Whether it is a pencil like this one, a gel, or a liquid liner. I tend to prefer the gel ones for my upper lash line, but these are really worth mentioning and can be worn on the upper lash line for an obvious color, or the lower lash line or lower waterline, I do not suggest using anything but pencil liners on your lower lashes, the liquid ones tend to want to drift to your eyeball and blur your vision for the rest of the day, which is obviously not good, so keep those to the top, ha.
This is a Pearlglide Eye Liner by MAC. For a brighter, sparkly and purple eye pencil, go for Miss Fortune, which is no longer available. I do not recall as to whether this was part of a limited edition collection or if they just discontinued it or when I even purchased it. But I loveee it. I wouldn't give it away for the world. It just brings the right amount of feminity to your eyes and I get quite a few compliments wearing this.
Then here is Rave, which was a limited edition Pearlglide Eye Liner from the Love That Look collection that was released some time in 2010 and obviously, no longer being sold.
  So this concludes this weeks blog and I hope that I was able to inform you on products, what they do, and how you should use them. Please check in next weekend for some more, though I will probably review more tomorrow. Thank you for reading this extremely long guide. :) Please leave a comment of your opinion about this post! :)
Keeping you informed and stylish, Annie

Hello!!

So, I'll begin by giving you a little bit of information about me and what this blog will bring in the future.
 First off, my name is Annie. I am fascinated by the French, almost everything about them interests me. I love their style, most of the time because, well lets be honest, it can be slightly boring at times. I would loveeee to eventually learn to apply make-up the way they do. 
 I love doing make-up, whether it is on myself or a friend. I find it fun and, like the French, intriguing. I do all different kinds of styles of make-up: heavy, like with deep and sultry eye shadows; light, like with a more natural look; senusal, like smoky or brown deepish tones; and seasonal, which is of course, according to the seasons, spring has bright colors, summer has more orangy and bam colors, fall is more sensual with more browns and plums, and winter is deep and shimmery with the occasional bright flare thrown in there to add cheer to the layers and layers of clothing we wear.
 I also quite enjoy photography. I take more inanimate and nature pictures. I am not a big fan of editing those pictures because I feel that I want to show things the way that they are and not alter them in any way. I'm really not into human photography, mainly because people can be picky. I may throw in an occasional actual photo on here, but for reasons of me not wanting them to be stolen, it will be a rare sight.
 I will try to do a post every weekend? Ha ha, I don't know, I suppose it depends on my schedule. Also, because I am just starting out, I will begin by going through my older make-up pieces, then working my way to the newer ones. Seeing as I'm not made of money, don't have a job, I won't be doing huge hauls or anything crazy like that, because, well MAC make-up is expensive. There will be other brands and products thrown in here and there too, if I feel like they should be blogged about. Please stay tuned for some product reviews! Thank you!!
For the love of MAC make-up,  Annie.
