Greens Using MAC Tempting Quad, TSS Kiss The Frogs and Meow Meow Feliner

No it wasn't a typo. I used Meow's Meow Feliner in this look. I also used MAC Tempting Quad, The She Space's Kiss The Frogs, and finally, I think I have a match in Pure Anada. I am wearing the tentatively named Medium Gold shade, and I am really loving how it brightened my face.



Eyes:
MAC Beige-ing shadestick as base
MAC Pharaoh paint pot on lid
MAC Tempting quad (Sharp on lid, Tempting on outer V, Dark Edge on crease)
The She Space pigment in Kiss the Frogs foiled on midlid blending into Tempting and Dark Edge
MAC Nanogold to highlight and inner corners
Meow Feliner (mineral liner) in Meow wetlined on upper lashline
MAC Graphblack technakohl liner to tightline and on waterline
Maybelline and L'Oreal mascaras



Face:
Camellia Rose skin-smoothing primer V.2
Pure Anada mineral foundation in Medium Gold
DermaBlend QuickFix stick concealer in Ivory
Bare Escentuals in Well Rested
DreamWorld creme topping in Butterscotch (silk formula)
Meow mineral blush in Cat Scratch Fever
MAC mineralize skinfinish in Warmed over blush

Lips:
Rimmel Epic lipliner
Valerie Beauty mineral lipstick in Bonbon
MAC lipglass in Vital Spark

DH and I treated my very good friend Jos to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and for some scrumptious cheesecake for her birthday.


With the birthday girl (I touched up using my Victoria's Secret lipgloss in Hot Cocoa-nut - review coming up!)


lettuce wraps which were really good


my shrimp scampi - shrimpy-garlicky goodness


DH's grilled mahi-mahi over garlic mashed potatoes, mediterranean style


my little boy, forever the charmer - he has made friends with the little girl in the adjacent booth, and even chatted up the mom!


Of course, we didn't pass up on the cheesecake - the banana cream variant, but I had mine to go: the Tiramisu cheesecake which was DIVINE.


delish frozen iced mango swirled with raspberry puree

Pink- Hey hot mama! Nice to see you here! I used the minerals wet, and believe me, these babies don't lack in pigmentation especially with a good base and when foiled. I live in Arizona, girl, but Texas is close enough. =) Hope to see you again in the future!
