I FINALLY got the chance to play with the samples I received of MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow!

This summer has been a whirlwind of activity.  My family has already enjoyed a vacation in the scorching hot hellish temperatures of Scottsdale, Arizona.  We must be crazy, because we head back again soon!  My boys have both attended various camps, played with good friends, and just generally enjoy the sunshine.  We’ve spent weekends on excursions all over all over Western Washington.  From beaches to amusement parks to farms and everywhere in between, we’ve been really enjoying the summer.  As a result, I didn’t get a chance to play with the latest MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow palettes until mid-July.  I had to hold off until I had the chance at some photography, and the waiting was killing me.  Just the LOOK of them in the palette is absolutely gorgeous. Each stripe of the compact is a different shade, texture and finish of shadow.  I love how they are different widths in the pan.  My belief is this is based on how you would use them, highlight shades and accent shades have less product than shades good for overall lid use.  The visual effect is that of modern art, and something I would seriously hang on a wall in my house if it was large enough!   [Read more…] about MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow Compact Lineup

I love the soft sultry look that a good khol eye pencil delivers.  Is there anything sexier?  Laura Mercier’s Khol Eye Pencil in Black Turquoise is a unique twist on a classic black, and a great way to update your makeup look for 2013.
