I have very few MAC items in my makeup collection and I just got them all last December. I got some for my birthday on the 21st and then more four days later on Christmas. I have not bought any more MAC since then. In all honesty, it is just too pricey for me and my budget.
So, since I have very little MAC, I don't like to use it all the time. I don't know, I guess I'm trying to make it last as much as I can. LOL. And while I usually use it for special occasions and outings, I decided to use it today just because.
Today I used my MAC Trip Warm Eye Shadows 6-pan palette.

I love these eye shadows very much. I love the way they all blend together so effortlessly. All the shadows can be worn together, as I did, and it looks pretty. Very complimentary. I'd have to say that Bagatelle, Expensive Pink, and Trax are my favorite!
I would say these shadows are on the neutral side. Nothing to bold and crazy bright so this would be a wonderful day time look as well, just switch up the red lip for a nude gloss.
I'm laughing at myself now because it's pouring rain outside, can't go anywhere. I'm just here at home in jeans and flip flops watching Yo Gaba Gaba with my girls and I'm wearing red lipstick! Haha, whatever makes you feel pretty, I say.
Luv & Luk,

Love the warmth of the colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful girl. I love the red lips, they suit you so well. The eye makeup looks gorgeous. I actually don't even own one MAC thing, crazy huh? Like you said, it's too expensive for my budget. lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful look! I'm really liking the lip color. I don't own many MAC items either and don't use them often.
ReplyDeleteLove the lip color on you, you can really pull that off girl! :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty...love the colors in that palette and that lip color looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! The red lip looks fab on you
ReplyDeleteohhh check out them sexy red lips!!!
ReplyDelete@Ev, yes, ma'am, the colors are so warm. They are really beautiful. Especially Expensive Pink with the duochrome it has :)
ReplyDelete@frugalspender19, girl, I cried when I opened my gifts and saw MAC. I thought I'd never own MAC! But I only have it because they were gifts. I buy E.L.F. and L.A. Colors, not MAC. LOL. And thank you for the sweet comment :)
@Wendy, thank you, hun. I love this lip gloss but I never wear it out! LOL. It's too much for me. I don't have much MAC but maybe I'll do a little MAC collection post someday. I don't think I'm going to get more :)
@Joann, LOL, thank you! It's a guilty please. Just something I wear for fun...only when I stay home :)
@Miranda, thank you! Yes, all the colors in this palette are really pretty. Very wearable, day or night!
@Vintage Makeup, thank you, my dear! I laugh because I think the red makes my lips look bigger! LOL.
@Kassandra, I actually laughed out loud when I read your comment! Red is sexy, I love red. On my lips, that's a once in a blue moon type of thing! Haha :)
Love this look! I need to learn how to do the eyeshadow under the bottom lashes.
ReplyDelete@Tiffany, oh, it's so easy, girlie! There's nothing to it. At least, not the way I do it. LOL. I just use a small brush, like an eyeliner brush, and sweep on the shadow. That's it. I like to do green, blue, or purple when I do a neutral look. It just adds a little something special. Try it! If you do a post on it, let me know, I'd love to see it!
ReplyDelete@Purple Eye Diamond, thank you! And yes, try it. This palette is really pretty. I used all the colors and they all go so perfectly with each other. I think this is a good MAC item to own. :)
