I applied for my MAC Pro card last week! This is big news! It means I get to purchase MAC products at a discount....an advantage of being "in the field". I am so excited. I will get my card in a few weeks, but I did get to purchase items that day, with the discount. I exercised restraint, but did pick up a few brushes I have been coveting...
The 217 Blending Brush

The 168 Large Angled Contour Brush
And I am also now obsessed with the blush recommended by one of my favorite beauty bloggers, Amy, at http://www.makeupandbeauty.ie/
She recommended M.A.C.'s Springsheen, and I have been loving it this past month. I layer it over Benefit's Posietint, and am constantly asked what I am wearing on my cheeks. I love it because it looks good whether or not I have a tan.
I am still searching for the secret to taking better self-portraits so that I can share different looks with you. I don't know if it's my camera, the way I hold my giant head, or the fact that I have small eyes, but I never can take a good shot! So, until I figure that out.....here goes nothing!
Once I get the hang of better pictures, I start posting some how-to tutorials!
My other current favorite product is Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl! It came out last month and I am sooooo enjoying how it gives my skin a glow!!
It is a "liquid pearl for face", basically, a golden-pink highlighter that I have been using on cheekbones and cheeks, and down the center of the nose and a bit on the forehead. So pretty and girly!
I am just starting to get excited for fall make-up....a return to jewel tones and smooth, matte luminous skin. I will have to think up some fun new looks!
