Pinks and Corals Using Coastal Scents, NARS and MAC

I tried some of the new products I'd acquired, and let me say that I am really loving them, especially NARS Super Orgasm! It's really the perfect coral-pink shade that I was looking for. I had Orgasm, Deep Throat, and Torrid, hoping that I would get the perfect coral blush, but they turned out to be duds on my cheeks. NARS redeemed itself with Super Orgasm. I am in love!! It's now way up there with my faves Angelika, Sin and Oasis. I also used MAC's blush in Taupe to contour using the 169 brush.

I also applied the Sexy Pink gel liner and the 28 Neutral palette from Coastal Scents in this look. I liked the liner color but I had to apply it several times to achieve the vibrant pink color that I was going for in this look. Peach Bellini gel liner would have been better for this look, but I just ordered it 2 days ago, although I got the notice that it was shipped yesterday. Yay!! Just a note: I used MAC's Penultimate Liner in Rapidblack on the very upper lashline to make it a deeper black. I love the Penultimate Liner coz the tip is SO fine, you can easily wiggle it in your very lashline to create lusher lashes or just to make the lashline appear darker and fuller.

I likewise used MAC's Lollipop Lovin' lipstick (Heatherette collection) and Sugarrimmed dazzleglass on my lips. I love this combination. I am glad I can Back-2-MAC empties for dazzleglasses at MAC free-standing stores. Dazzleglasses are the only products I will be B2M-ing for. I am such a dazzleglass bimbo and I am proud of it. :D They are really amazing glosses with the high-watt shine and subtle-until-light-hits-it micro-glitter I've been looking for.

Yay!
I love that pink liner on you :) Very pretty! Your cheeks and lips look great, too.

I may try Sexy Pink with Urban Decay Sellout on the lid and Meow Bad Girl in the crease.

I'm with you on the Dazzleglass! I'm in LOVE with it.

Love this look! I finally found your blog again tonight. I couldn't remember the name of it. I too love lollipop lovin' l/s. I am anxious to see what the peach bellini looks like. Just so you know, Too Faced also has glosses with glitter in them. I like my dazzleglass, but TF is my new love (the diamond gloss or the sparkler glamour gloss).

Anonymous- Maybe it's a sign for you to subscribe so you don't have to look for this blog again? :) I just got Peach Bellini in the mail and will be posting swatches tomorrow.

shasta- thanks sis! :)

liz- thanks, it maybe because I just woke up after a nap and I looked and felt rested after a long exhausting holiday season.

Nikki- thanks sis! I'm loving pink too and your skintone would definitely look pretty with pink!

A light eyeliner is really pretty on you. It literally opens your eyes and makes you look really mischievous and youthful which is absolutely cute (but that's just my personal preference). You should someday make a make up with this peach eyeliner. Peach and coral fit your carnation very well.
