playing w/ my new NYX palette

my first NYX palette. $9.99 @ cheap accessory stores @ the mall. the ORANGE is brilliant -- super pigmented. the other colors are OK.

here are some pix:




ok i really need to get a better camera. i'm still using my macbook webcam. the colors get a bit muted, so in person, the colors pop a bit more. you can't tell in these pics, but i'm wearing a lot of PINK on my cheeks.

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD, MY HUBSTER!**

my new HG liner: Milani Liquif'Eye

goes on like BUTTTTTTTA. put it on, let it set for 7 seconds. it will stay on all day!

one minor annoyance... depending on the batch you get, some liners might be extra soft. my black one goes on fine but my brown one is breaking apart when i apply. boo~ either way, this liner gets 5 stars from me.

thnx Lillian for sharing your discovery!

i promise

to make a video before summer ends! =X

@ the macpro creative performance class in LA =D

this was the model for the day. she looked much better in person... my cell phone camera is horrible! no, i didn't do her makeup.

anyway, here's the loot that i left w/!

* Viva Glam V - a lovely frosty mauve, perfect for weddings
* face & body mixing medium - so i can customize my foundations
