MAC Styledriven
I generally don’t have time to reapply makeup at all throughout my day, so it’s no surprise when I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the late morning, and my lips look totally bare. Regardless of poor staying power, I’m still a sucker for gloss! [Read more…] about MAC Styledriven
MAC Evil Eye Shadow x4
I will admit, I was originally scared of the Evil Eye Shadow Quad from MAC. Part of the MAC Me Over collection, the shades in this palette seemed way too dark for ordinary Mommy day-wear.

As a result, MAC’s Evil Eye Shadow x4 CAN actually work during the day providing you make use of the sheerer shades for some balance. [Read more…] about MAC Evil Eye Shadow x4
