Looks Using MAC 6 Cool Eyes Palette and Laura Geller Baked Makeup Set

Here are some looks using newly-acquired products. The first one is a pink/purple look featuring MAC Holiday eye palette in 6 Cool Eyes and Grape pigment. I like combinations of pinks and purples because they look really feminine. This is my first time to use the 6 Cool Eyes palette. I love the burst of colors, but I admit this is not something I can use everyday. This would be pretty for holiday or party looks, and when you really want something pink, lilac or feminine.

MAC Finery, Curiositease & Royal Assets Lip Sets: Reviews and Swatches

Today is all about lips: luscious, festive, and puckered up for the holiday season. This year MAC dresses up the lips with the most beautiful shades of coral, pink, plum and tan for the most gorgeous holiday looks. I cannot rave enough about these coordinating lip sets because I am admittedly a lipstick and lipgloss kind of girl. I tote around a heavy purse filled with all sorts of lip products to smear my lips with as I trudge along during the day. These tiny tubes of shine and color are my pick-me-uppers during long and laborious days; they literally infuse color into my bleary work days when I am neck-deep in paperwork. These lip sets therefore make me giddy like a kid in a candy store because there are just too many to choose from, and one can whip up different looks with these lovely sets.

First of all, isn't the packaging just gorgeous? I am a sucker for pretty packaging and these delicious holiday sets are no exception. If I receive one of these in a gaily-wrapped package from underneath the tree, I'd be yelping in excitement just by looking at the packaging alone. Now the product themselves are just as beautiful as the packaging if not better. You can check out my previous entry on the holiday product pictures HERE.

MAC Royal Assets 6 Warm Eyes Look

MAC Royal Assets 6 Warm Eyes Look

Nov 7, '07 10:49 PM
for everyone

Here's a look using the Warm eyeshadow palette of Royal Assets. I really loved the colors which are just perfect for fall and of course the holiday season, and the packaging is really so gorgeous. The ornate design truly spells luxury and class even though the palette itself is reasonably-priced. For $36 you get six beautiful shadows in an aristocratic case fit for a queen, with a free travel-friendly eyeshadow brush to boot. It is a little heavy though compared to last year's eyeshadow palettes, but that won't stop me from toting this around town for quick touch-ups or for travel.

I also used Dazzleray pigment from the Curiositease Warm Pigment collection, and I think it went well with the colors of the 6 Warm Eyes palette.

I also tried Black Karat eye kohl from the McQueen collection for the first time and I still need a few practices in applying pencil on my upper lashline (I am more used to using gel liners). I so LOVE the color, though. It conjures images of molten blackened gold, if there is such a thing. It looks even more beautiful in person. I think I need a back-up of this!
